political NOTES.


It is no news that Springer is red hot for impeach
Inent. IL is also Of no account.
Mr. Key still clings fondly to his faith in the Old
Line Wing party, the greater part Of which he him
self is.
The melancholy fate of Uncle Dick Bishop ought
to furnish solemn warning against the folly OF
trying TO mix groceries and politics.
Ii seems to be demonstrated now beyond cavil
that Mr.. 1ilden from the outset had no faith what
ever in the Electoral Tri5unal-a body which con-
spicuously had no faith in him.
This overflow Of affectiOnate language for Cen
eral Grant, when traced to its source to spout
exclusively from gentlemen who have found it
profitable to be Grant men In the Sweet Long ago.
Mr. Marble finds room in his FIVE column defence
Of Dir. Tiden to call McLin " an ague-smitten
Pariah," but is unable to squeeze in word about
his alleged assurance to McLin that he would never
know want again if he gave the vote OF FLORIDA 10
Iilden.
That mule is still rampant among the Democrats
of the XXIst Pennsylvania District They have
met six times in as many weeks in a vain effort to
nominate candidate for Congress, but the num-
Der of ballots taken has approached intinity, and
there is nomination yet. Tho only chance OF
solution seems to be visitation Of sudden death 10
one OF two of the three candidates.
Mr. Tilden has not lost his shrewdness. II he
doesn't talk himself, he knows when to have some
body else talk for him. He has succeeded in bring
ing his party together at last his private issue OF
fraud, and when he has them well assembled ne
shows that he never favored the plan which Kept
him ont of the White House. This disposes OF the
weak backed" charge against him and makes nun
more than the candidate of his party Tor
1850
Congressman John Goode has been giving his Vir-
gina constituents an explanation of his course IN
Congress. prominent cause Of complaint against
him was the failure of the William and Mary Col
lege Bill. Mr.. GOode explains that the Northern
people peculiarly sensitive on the subject OF
Southern war claimsD and hence he thought 1T wise
to put the bill over TO the next session, When as
have reason to believe, there VIII be better pros
pect Of success" That IL what the whole South be
leyes and its faith will be seen 20 have been well
grounded If the Democrats carry the elections TINS
Fall.
Congressman Blackburn, of Kentucky, has set his
tongue agoing on the stump of that State, and, as
usual seems to have gone off and left it. He pre-
diets that there will be four Presidential candidates
in the field in 1880; Grant and a conservative by
the two wings of the Republican party Butler, at
the head of the Nationals and Thurman at the head
of the Democrats. Tllden's name he is sure would
be Kissed oat Of the nominating convention. The
election would be thrown into Congress, ana
Democratic President would DO chosen. Mr. BACK
burn is q statesman of the school OF Glover,
Springer and Finley, and occupies the same relative
place in politics that the pin-wheel does among
fireworks.
Senator Chaifee. of Colorado, says he is so com
plefely disheartened with this President we have
got that he has decided to retire from politics. He
considers Mr.. Hayes an infirm, small. cheap man,
who likes to hear himself talk. but doesn't mean
any Of il or remember any of it, Mr.. Chaifee tells
a correspondent OF The Cincinnati enquirer that he
thinks Grant the coming man. He knows that
Blaine has no idea of being Presidential candidate
tor some years to come. Grant could carry New
York. and will probably run II he sees his chances
are good. If he should run, Mr. Chatfee promises
to emerge from his retirement ana support nun,
though ne would not do t for anyone else lie Is
sure Grant would carry Colorado easily.
The man whom the Democrats Of the XVIII Ohio
District picked out for Congress after 1,25J unsuc-
cessful ballots, doesn't to be most colossal
statesman. He wasn't one of.the four men who had
been baoted for so many times, but was brought in
and nominated on one ballot. His speech of accept
ance is something Of curiosity He told the con-
venion that they had been making history that they
had done what no other convention IN this nation
had done; that they had excited an interest in the
bosom of hundreds and thousands Of Democrats all
over the land He could not "help but be over
whelned with feelings OF sadness and regret, when
he called 10 mind the disappointment that VIII be
felt and fet kecnly, felt ana felt deeply, by your
constituency, as you return to your respective
homes in your respective counties, and notify them
of the difficulties with which you were met aud
what You we're compelled 90 do That IS about the
most feeling speech record, and shows that
Mr.. Goddes has u soft heart as well as a s-sound
head.
