POLITICAL NOTES.

The lOnesOmost man in the next Congress VIII be
hard-mOney Democrat.
This is one of the days when Mr.. Marble will
be able not TO read The TRIBUNE.
The bright sunlight of publicity about to culmi-
nate in q sunstroke for the cOparceners
Perhaps Mr.. Tilden Will find consolation in his
own Oracular observations THE American people
will never condone fraud! Never! NeyerW
Another wicked person has broken out with cipher
dispatches directed to Gramercy Park. There is
certainly conspiracy to ruin gueless old gentle
man.
1t is tolerably evident now that the cODarceners
were exceedingly anxious to buy the Presidency
which Mr. Tilden was unwilling to rattle for, but
it was morally impossible"
Now that the top has been removed from the MIN
cOmpOOp Bureau the country can see what an i'm
macuate trio of political refOrmers the chief Min
compOops, Marble, PeltOn aud Havemeyer. are.
The cOnciliation of Ben Hill was one of the early
triumphs Of this Administration. If the Admins
tratiOn is eager to triumph some more fine oppor
tunity is now offered to cOnciliate Mr. Hill over
again.
Mr.. Marble will probably find The TRIBUNE a lit
tie dull to-day, but lie must not think the fun is
over. There will be South Carolina story along
presently which will give him a chance to remark
once more that " traces of money payment are
darkly visible"
Judge Abbott's letter accepting the Democratic
nomination for Governor of Massachusetts, dwells
chiefly upon the high honor which the position con-
fers. He has more ground than usual for this
clam for his candidacy means something this year
Instead Of running IN hopeless race he Is running
TO defeat Butler.
The Evening Post speaking Of the cipher dis
patches, hopes The TRIBUNE will bring
them out soon as possible. The public
it says, is impatient, and the PHOTOGRAPHERS
are in agony. Well, their agony won't last long 1t
will be the sort of death the prayer-book begs to De
delivered from.
Mr.. Oswald Ottendorfer is very unhappy. Yester-
day morning he complained in his paper that The
TRIBUNE had printed too few cipher kilograms, its
performance in his polite language, being far be-
h nd its pompous pretensiOns. Yesterday evening
he was dolcfully explaining to TRIBUNE reporter:
" There are 30 many cipher kilograms in to-days
TRIBUNE that have not yet had time to read them
all through First there were too few, ana ROW
there are too many There Is no pleasing such a
man.
The Hon. Ben Hill has broken out at this peculiar
moment in a long TRADE about the great fraud
which made Mr. Hayes President. He seems to be
unconscious Of the fact that the public attention is
now concentrated upon the great frauds which
failed to make Mr. Tilden President. Mr. Hill can
NOT fird particle of proof to support his wild asser
tons while The tribune fills column after
column of damning evidence OF the guilt OF Mr..
IlilPs own party. Somebody should tell Mr.. Hill
that the country looks upon the Democratic
fraud" yell the old CRY OF stop thief" III new
form.
Careful observers Of Massachusetts, politics are
convinced that Butler is not losing any ground now.
but is holding his own pretty well. They say he
did lose a good deal for q week or 50 after the
Worcester performance, but he has checked the
backward movement now He is working with ire
mendous energy for a of his years. and shows
that he realizes how much he has nj stake In this
fight The most encouraging aspect OF the situation
Is the fact that the Republicans are watching him
kcenly, and are fully alive to the necessity Of hight
ing him at every point.
The few Democratic editors who are able TO say
anything about tho cipher revelations are unani-
mousin declaringtho dispatches to be bogus. 1t is
rous that the coparceuers have not discovered and
announced the same thing long before this If it really
is the case. The same editors also sure that

The TRIBUNE won't have any readers. Don't dis

The hard-money speakers in New Hampshire say
it is impossible to discuss anything except the
rency question IN the political meetings there Be
fore the Maine election there was little OF no talk
about the finances in the neighbOring State, but
now everybody is talking about them and nothing
else The same speakers also report that their most
intelligent listeners need information about the
simplest fundamental principles of finance. the
wide dissemination of Greenback documents having

strange, for the majority of the American
people have given any study
whatever TO this subject until within few months.
MANY of them have read nothing except the Green

formerly knew nothing about currency problems
they now know good deal that is not 80. The only
