Political NOTES.

solid Southern split simply means two hungry
Democrats Instead of one.
Judge Kew Is right in not worrying about his Vice
Presidential prospects. They're not worth 1t.
Buffers alliance with Shupe won't make him pop
ular with the New-York Nationals Shupe's party
consists mostly Of Shupe.
Every member of the Cabinet has contributed

greenbacksf
Mr.. Marble has his hands full henceforth in de-
Tending himself, without wrenching another die
tiOnary into chaos in behalf of Dir. Tilden. The
public yearns for light about his own "lethal
weapons"
Has Nephew Pelton resigned in order to reorgan-
ize the old " NncompOop Bureau for the dissent
nation of Tilden lteraturei The rural Democratic
editor who has been OYeTwOrkng his scissors since
the Bureau closed will hope so.
Hayes party with Woodin and Sessions among
it's leaders will not arouse the people of this State
into a cyclone of excitement. The Republican
party is partisan enough for most of its members,
without being worked up into personal party Tor
either Hayes OF COnklng.
II looks as il the Democrats of Tennessee had
picked out candidate for Governor who will con-
soldate their party and give it every prospect for
success. THIS will put end to the scheme of run
ming Judge Key, and the President will thus be en-
abled to keep in his councils the only genuine Old
Line Wing now living.

10000 names to ms petition to himself to run for
Governor Of Massachusetts, and there is good deal
Of ground yet uncovered. Among the signers are
said TO he Wendell Phillips, Caleb Gushing.
james Parton aud Richard S. Spoff0rd. Those
names do not indicate much Of Democratic uprls-
Ina, or political uprising Of any kind.
The Republicans of Schuylkill County Penn, are
made of the right sort OF stuG. They have refused
TO join with the Nationals in the nomination of
Congressman. and have put up a candidate of
their own Ar. Howell Fisher, Of Pottsyille, an I'M
compromising hard money man. This IS the most
pucky act since Mr. Grow went into the most heret-
zeal financial section Of theState and made brave
speech for honest money! and 1t IL clearly one OF the
inst trmts of that speech. The convention declared
against any alliance with any other party, and de-
termmed 10 make fight for pure Republican prin-
cples.
Senator Thurman win find political textbook,
Just published by the Republican Congressional
Committee, uncommonly interesting reading. In

lei columns with bis hard-money speeches that the
effect il good deal like that of Chinese puzzle.
Mr. Thurman remarked with becoming emotion in
one of his Senate speeches for hard money that
every man should take his stand that side of the
financial question which his conscience approved
and then have no fear of the result. lie seems to
have determined 10 make sure thing OF II by get
ing on both sides, but unless his conscience Is as
good a straddler he is they must have lost sight
Of each other several times.
