POLITICAL NOTES.

| POLITICAL NOTES.
| A faint groan has been heard from the Ark.
| Put your innocence in seven column card, Mr.
| Tilden.
New name for Tilden-O -Old-man-afraid-Of-hi
| coparceneTs.
The average Democratic statesman seems to be
Just tTlie nervous.
The Ohio election wasn't much of a rebuke to Mr..
Sherman, was II, Mr. POtterf
Has anybody found out yet whether Mr.. Moses
MantOn Marble reads The TRIBUEEF
Is Samuel l.. NJ. Barlow as mad as Belmont
They two were the chief hackers of the late Mr.
Marble.
If Nr. Adams does1t know what else to do with
that fraud brand, he might shy it at the Ark, and
run.
Mr.. Cox actually has an opinion on the cipher
question. Well. he ought to. for he is a good deal
of q cipher himself nowadays
O, Tilden.
Cipher Iilden.
Sigh for Tilden.
General Ewing is the only Presidential candidate
who has survived the Ohio storm. And his friends
say Thurman cOnspired to kill HIM off! 1t wasn't
worth while.
The Democratic editor is weakening on his charge
that the Cphcrs are bogus, and II falling back on
the shocking immortality of their publication There
the coparceners Will agree with kim.
The public ear is not yet startled with the news
that the nephew of his uncle has been elected from
No. 10 Gramercy Park III tho interest of Reform"
The uncles fOrbcaranco is exceeded only by his in
nOcence
Now that Mr. Wattersru Is relieved from support
ing Voorhees,, perhaps he will be able to say few
words concerning the success of himself and Moses
Manton in making Mr.. Hewitt a scapogOat for the
failure of Reform by fraud
VIII the gifted persons who sure Mr.. Til
den did not know what the wicked cOparceners
were about tell us who did agree to furnish the
money to bny Electors and Returning Boards, with
Mr.. HewitPs committee did not do it, and Marble
and PcltOn could not. Whose barrel was tapped
The Democratic party is on the run, and the thing
to do now is to keep it moving. The control OF the
next Congress is the thing 10 fight for. The man
who wants reputation and financial chaos together
with cipher morals in craftsmanship will vote the
Democratic ticket. The man who has had enough
OF that sort of thing will vote the Republican
ticket. There is no middle course. Greenbacker
is only an exaggerated Democrat.
Another instance OF Buffers extreme love for the
workngman has been found. The Cape Ann Granite
Company. in which the General holds a controlling
interest, pays its quarcymen only 81 80 day for
eleven hours of work, and in Winter it only pays
them from 50 cents 30 cents TO work from daylight
TO dark The sentiment of the Quarrymcn does not
seem to be one of enthusiasm toward the General,
aud they would vote against him if they dared.
Randall COMES in for his share of blame for the
OHIO defeat. Democratic leaders are saying that
the redistrictng scheme was his and would never
have been attempted had he not insisted fuTiOusv
that It should be adopted This Is undoubtedly so,
but It is unSnd 20 speak of it now as Randall has
first-class fight on his hands in hIs own district,
with a possible defeat staring him IN the face. do
be calm, McSsrs. Democrats. You are IN bad way,
It is true, but 1t won't do you any good To nave
family quarrel
Butler shows signs of irritation over the Ohio
news. He reached Amherst in his circuit of the
State on Wednesday. and because no preparations
had been made for the public exhibition of his chin
he left in pet without holding meeting, simply
saving that he would not visit them again till the
latter part of the campaign. when he hoped they'd
be ready for hIm. The General can't afford to lose
his temper for bis impudence is his best hold. He
s working tremendously hard for man who is sixty
years of age, speaking once aud sometimes twice
day aud attending TO no end OF wlre-puiliDg be-
sides This is terrible woT with prospect OF sue
cess ahead, but il is good deal worse when the
outlook Is hopeless.
II is doubtful if the Potter mud dIggers will ever
be able TO pull themselves together again. Their
only object was to influence the elections, aud the
news from Ohio will not encourage them Il BIZ Be-
sides Butler VIII not be able 10 be present till after
the elections aud they do nothing without hun.
Mr. Potter will not have the assurance to assemble
the committee undcr the old fraud" call, for he
knows the whole country will burst out IN Que stem
toTinn g1Iifaw If he does. HIS only course VIII be to
shut up shop and say nothing. Everybody viii nm
derstand why the concern failed, namely, because
II invested $40 900 in a lot of damaged lies which
had no maTketvaiue.
