POLITICAL NOTES.

OF course repudiator will be briber if neces-
sary.
Was the cry of Subsidized press started by
the silver editor as "blind"f
Silver is plenty enough now to be burden and
nuisance Why should 1t be a disgrace aisof
Do the California statesmen favor silver because
their State can ship her superuous silver East al
profit OF three per cent?
The merchants and bankers Of the country can
save the faith of the Nation If they will act instead
OF sitting still and grumbllng.
1t is time for the patriotic citizen to stop blush
ing and get mad when the United States Sem
ate follows tho lead of roaring demagogue like
Voorhees,. 81
Major Burke, of New-Orlcans, is indulging once
more in his favorite pastime of descanting on the
exceeding weakness of Mr. Tiden's backbone. He
is honest enough 10 say there was no bargain be-
tween the Southern leaders and the Presidents
friends, which is another spike i'll the " fraud
coffin.
Mr. Glover, of Missouri is an uncommonly NOISY
investigator even for Democrat He spends most
of his time in thrilling announcements Of an inten.
ton to shoot aud in loud warnings to everybody TO
stand from under. He demands power enough TO
imprsOn and fine the whole American public If 10
declines to help him push on his mud machine. lie
positively pines for some one to " obstruct" him,
but is himself his only obstacle
mat Nllte House ulnncf mas INC lneNit-
able rumor. 1t comes IN this shape on the author
ity of an enthusiastic admirer: MIR Bristow will
be in the public service within thirty days. What
branch of the Government will lie intrusted to him,
we are not told neither is il stated whether his
receipt of an Office will release the Administration
from its purpose of making him the next president
Whatever may happen, the Brlst9w select party
suprcmely happy, for II is tIckled with rumor
day all about itself.
Great CONSERVATION has been createdin Boston by
a grotesque mixing OF the Bristow movement with
the Civil Service reformation of Collector SIM
MONS Some malicious person started story that
Mr.. Bristow had commended Simmons and his meth
DDS to the President, and when the report reached
Boston the rejuvcnated Bristow Club had spasn.
II wouldn't do for any body "practical' as even
the reformed Simmons TO be smugglei into so select
n circle and the report was declared with great
show of indignation To he uniOunded. Emphatic
contradiction has been received from Washington,
and calm has settled over the troubled waters.
The old story about the President not vetoing
the Silver Bill has started promptly again under tho
stimulus of that vote in the Senate II Is asserted
once more that if the vote for the Bland bill Is SO
large as to indicate an overwhelming desire OF the
people for unlimited silver, the President VIII allow
il 10 become a law without his signature Ii IS
difficult 10 comprehend the moral obtuseness which
can give credence to such an idea as tins Inc
President has said plainly as the English language
will permit that lie will veto any measure which al
lows the payment of the bonds IN silver and he can
not fail To veto the Bland bill without disgraeing
himself in the eyes of the whole world.
Mr. Hendricks has been encouraged by the silver
vote in the Senate to descend from the fence and
side with the repudiators. He talks with
the nucncy of Voorhees, about "remonctization
by stealth" about oppression of the masses
through forced resumption, and runs tho whole
gamut of silver twadde like an old hand at tho
business. This accession is not hailed with exubc'
rant delight by Mr.. lIalstead who seems TO DO
inclined TO blush now and then at the company
he finds himself in. IL will be an immense RELIEF 70
Hendricks hipself, for IL will enable him TO ress
from straddle which has been tho most painiai
one in the whole of his long experience would 20
unklnd to whisper in his ear that IL VIII not mAAs
him President, but 10 would he true.
