POLITICAL NOTES.

| What are you giving US, Mr. Wood Ancient his.
| tOryi
The Democracy will have no peace till it abolishes
| Bookkeeping entirely
! All the Senate Finance Committee need 70 do
about the Resumption Act is to vote to let it alone
| The silver agitator will make greater uproar
than ever when he hears that there are to be no new
minis. lie hoped for dozen at least.
| Mr. Wood advertised that he was going TO load
| his speech with so many new facts that everybody
would be converted to his views. Aud then he left
| them all out.
The Republican journals are entirely unanimous
in the belief that 1t is of Importance to carry
the Congressional elections this Fall than to snub
the President. Future Republican caucuses would
do well to proceed on that basis.
1t is announced that the National Executive
Democratic Committee proposes to publish adetailed
statement of the moneys received and disbursed
during the last Presidential campaign, for the pur
pose of putting n stop to such lies those of
Eaton of Kansas" It would be mighty interesting
reading if published as complete over an affidavit
from Mr. Hewitt.
That perpiring friend Of the people, Hendrick 3.
Wright has squandored his sweetness on the desert
air. lie has just moved for the issue of trile ot
four hundred millions of money for the oppressed
people, TO be called National money and in the very
face of the demand the National party of Pennsyl-
Yania has decided to nominate some other man fOf
Governor. And Wright thought he bad sure
thing Of it, too. lie certainly has earned IT.
The proposition to fasten bill to repeal the Re-
sumption Act to the Legislative and Executive
Appropriation Bll is said to have been revived by
the discovery shat the Senate Finance Committee is
in danger of voting to take no action at present
Senator Rayard thinks he can count -four votes in
the committee against the repeal Dill, and be has
hopes that Senator Allison Will join them. There
are nine votes in the committee 50 that the decision
rests with Nr. Allison.
The Democratic party seems determined to load
itself thoroughly for the Fall campaign If it puts
the income tax on top of its other burdens II will
have all the baggage it will wish 10 carry. The
party can send more votes TO the Republicans by the
renewal of that odous tax than by almost any other
process The unhappy man who is trying TO support
a large family on - 900 year isn't going TO vote
for the continued power OF a party which taxes ~
OF bis salary by force To help meet dentlehcies
which the same party's bungllng MANAGEMENT has
caused.
General Buffers defence of Shields has penetrated
as far as LeaYenwoIth, Kan, and called forth from
a large meeting OF Irish citizens n rOusng series OF
resolutions thanking him for his generous act and
eloquent words in behalf of one whom the whole
people delight to honor and who will live in history
when the names Of those who were not manly
enough TO remember the old hero will be forgotten
Thus it will appear that in order to toady 10 the
south the Democrats have not only offended the
Irish citizen but they have actually done 70 for tho
sake of rewarding a man who turns out to be more
Republican than Democrat. There never Sas a
party which had such perfect genius for putting
It's foot in it.
Mr.. Blair's efforts to unseat the President don't
meet with much favor anywhere, but they receive
downright denunciation from the South. TIT
brethren there are unusually emphatic in their de
clarations that they Will have nothing to do witt
any scheme which has tendency to bring about
the denomination of Mr.. Tilden. They do not say
why they are stirred against him, but it is easy
to find a reason in his famous letter against the
payment of Southern claims. OF course, II Is taml'
lar history that they were opposed 20 ms homh9:.
ton in 1876. but they succumDed az ~. Louis. X
Mr. Tilden were to send his agents to them again
with this question: Which do You prefer to have,
n candidate whom you don't like, but who can be
elected, OF one whom you do like, but who CANNOT
be elected ?" the chances that they would swal@
low their objections and nominate him again.
