POLITICAL NOTES.

the Democracy this year where the,
have the power. Indianapolis Journal
Ba"The over-production that is likel,
to do the laboring men the most real in
jury is the over-production of reform
ers. - CIeUeldnd Herald.
BSSpThe State of Missouri will los,
more through single Democratic
Treasurer than it has lost through al
the Republican officials known to his
tory.
BsS"The great task before the Repub
licans of the country is to bring bacl
the thought and sentiment of the people
to a realization of the dangers thai
threaten from Calhounism and rebe
supremacy Chicago Inter Ocean.
BaSHWhatever issues control the mex
Presidential campaign, it is tolerably
safe to predict that neither party viii

REFORM floating from the summit oi

furniture has gone to eternal smash

RSs~The not very pleasant spectacle
of Democratic Congressman assuming
the defense of Illicit whisky distillers in
the South and expressing open sympa.
thy with them on the stump is now pre-.
sented in the "law-abiding'' South fol
the delectation of their Yankee mudsill
admirers. s.-NatiOnal Republican,
BSEnThere is one thing to the credit
of Thurman. When he "pooled'' him
self in the common "pot," he didn't
stop to skim off any of the scum, or test
the temperature of the contents. He
soused in head first, all over, and is
therefore to be excused if he does come
up looking badly.-BinghamtOn (N y J
Republican.
BEE|Our firm belief is that the North
ern Democracy will find it next to i'm
possible to win in 1880 on any sort of
soft-money platform, particularly the
Ohio platform of which Mr.. Thurman
is the champion. On the other hand
the Democracy, with the united South,
can elect their candidates on the plat
form of hard money and home rule

pay~The Greenback authorities of
Missouri are discouraged at discover
ing in their State treasury a worthless
bank-check for 100000, which the
Treasurer has for years been carrying
forward as cash on hand. Why isn't il
all right, according to Greenback rea-
soning? The check is in regular form
throughout, and is irredeemable. What
more do they ask for?-Lo,UeU Mass. }
Courier.
Be9HThe Greenbackers in New Hamp-
shire recently denounced in fierce
terms the law passed by the Legislature
for the suppression of tramps. Itwould
be somewhat unreasonable to find fault
with this because party is placed
rather at disadvantage by law which
gives large number of its most ardent
adherents choice between quitting the
State and going to jail.-Pht!adelDhtO

BsEr Congressman John Goode, OF
Virginia, in recent speech to his con-
stituents, said: "The Northern people
are peculiarly sensitive on the subject
of Southern war claims; but he had
reason to believe that at the next ses-
sion of Congress there would be bet
ter prospect of success So think all
the Southern Democrats. 1t depends
on the Republicans as to whether he
will be disappointed or not.-Portlan0
Press.
BSSn When the rebel Joseph Z. John.
ston was nominated for Congress by
the Democrats in Virginia, the other
day, he "pointed with pride" to his
services in the cause of the South dur.
ing the war of the rebellion. The ques-
ton comes right up here whether q
mans services as an armed traitor
to his country's Government should be
regarded as qualification for a seat in
the National councils. Chicago Journal.
Bsg@ The New York Tribune is of the
opinion that Massachusetts deserves
to be visited with Butler as Governor,
for one term at least, for having wor.
ried the country with him so many
times as Congressman. But the
trouble is that Butler is so thoroughly
ditf'usive that the affliction would moi
be confined to the Bay State, but would
pent up Massachusetts, contracts his
powers for making general nuisance
of himself. st. Paul Globe (Dem,)
BaS~ The Republicans went for green
backs when they were necessary for the
salvation of the country, and the Demo,
Gratis opposed and denounced them.
Now, when the time has come that the
best interests and prosperity of the
country demand that the National faith
shall be kept, and that the greenbacks
shall be redeemed on demand, the Re.
publicans favor that course, and the
whole Democratic party is in training
to prevent it. Whatever tends to pro
mote the interests of the Nation, the
.I | la 20 60 Il
the Democrats to oppose. Whatever
tends to ruin the Nation the Democrats
will be found supporting and the Re
publicans opposing. - OSlCego Times.
RagH When the greenback was abso
lutely necessary to save the life of The
Republic, Democracy. declared it {
fraud, printed lie and violation o
the Constitution. When it had fur
nished the means to conquer the rebel
lion, Democracy declared that it shoulC
be repudiated, that it was the tool o
the mOnopolist and speculator, that i
would 90 the way of the old Continent
al scrip, and would carry tie shinplas
ter party with it. Whepr its redemp
tion becomes Necessary, and protec
ton to the honor and plighted faith o.
the nation, Democv.cy declares it shal
not be redeemeG that it is the bes
money on the giobe; that we must hav,
more of it, aid submit to its "abso
lute'' rule in financial circles, withou
any guarantee of its value or redemp
ton. When the greenback is made a
good as gold, and circulates on pa
with it, what will the Democracy d.
then? Win they cry for the abolition

Bs5~ The Republican leaders in Wash
ington are said to be greatly disheart
, ened by the result of the Maine elec
tion, and certainly they have some rea
son for discouragement; but they ar
: not quite so badly off as the Democrats
? after all; for the latter seem to be il
: danger of complete absorption by tn

he unconscious of this danger how
