POLITICAL NOTES.

Postmaster General Key is re-
ported as saying he is now confident
that Hayes was elected, though he
was doubtful at first.
The Iowa Republicans will invite
Senators Blaine and Conkling and
Congressman Butler, Banks and
Townsend to stump tho State in the
fall.
Colonel George g Vest, who is a
prominent candidate for United
States Senator from Missouri, an
nounccs himself as opposed to- uni~
versal suffrage and tho Fourteenth
and Fifteenth amendments.
Tho Republican candidates for
governor, lieutenant governor and
chief justice Of Pennsylvania began
life as school teachers. The candi-
date for secretary of internal affairs
is a printer.
The Washington Post believes
that "If fifteen years ago General
Banks had shot off his cannon as ho
now shoots off his mouth he would
not be pointed out by small boys as
he walks along tho streets as the
Union commissary-gencral of the
late Confederate army"
The Chicago Times goes over
Illinois in detail, and concludes that
the Republicans will have majority
of four on Joint ballot in tho next
Legislature. It does not by any
means follow that Oglesby will be
returned to the Senate, or that any
out~and> out Republican will bo, as
indeCendt NJ Republicans arc very
common in Illinois.
It is getting far enough along in
the season now for a member of
Congress to drop out of his seat
occasionally and HE away home to
see how things are going on in the
district. Eternal vigilance and lots
Of money will be required to keep
some of tho districts straight this
year, and the Importance of an carly
inspection is full appreciated.
Tho Republican managers who
are raising funds for the campaign
are determined that the President
shall put his name down for q five
thousand dollar contribution lust
for the moral effect OF tho thing,
even if they have to raise the money
from some other source. The neral
effect of such nn act on the put of
the President of the United States
must be tremendous, No matter
what the sum is.
The redistricting bill is being
rushed through the Ohio Legis:o-
ture, and under it's division of the
State the Democrats expect to get
twelve members Of Congress, leaving
the Republicans eight, exactly re-
versing the balance The redistrict~
ing of Missouri was accomplished u
year ago, which is expected to crowd
out the four Republican members
from that State, and the Democrats
now begin to feel rs though they
had got matters pretty we'll az
ranged for the next House,
Ex-Gov. r. X. Ecott, of South
Carolina, had f. on pretty low, but
has realized that to he lowest depth
of degradation there is a deeper still.
Having solicited Corbin and Cham
bcrlain TO join with him sin pre-
pairing for the press truo history
Of the Republican administration in
South Carolina thoso worthless
declined, on the ground that they
did not desire to mix themselves
up with renegade. 1t is now in
order for the Ohio carpct-bagger to
60 back to Napoleon and hang
himself from the bluff Of the river.
The Republicans of Illinois, some
CT them at least, arc actually talking
of running john A. Logan for State
treasurer. Logan is great fnan-
cicr, and it would only bo fitting
that he should be set up for office
but his friends think that thorough
canvass of tho State by him would
result in the election of q Republi-
can Legislature, which would, of
course, return Logan to the United
States Senate. Logan made
thorough canvass Of Illinois two
years ago and everybody On the
Republican side was elected--except
Logan. The conditions are not
more favorable now.
The public is never disappointed
