POLITICAL NOTES
That Colorado majority is too large for the Demo-
Gratis to transmOgrify, as they did two years ago.
The Democratic fraud yell grows thinner and
fainter as the Mobile dispatches wax thicker aud
/ noisier.
General Buffers canvass seems to be cooling OF.
Now is the time for Kearney to fling himself into
the fray with some red-hot denunciations of "lop-
cared pelicans."
There is one Congressman TO whom the returns
from Colorado sounded like blast from Gabriers
! trumpet. Which itis Benjamin Deane. of the Hid
| Massachusetts District.
The EIpress has a short article about David Dud-
lev Field, headed "Send Him to Congress" This
doubtless proves that so much of the Tammany
| Congressional slate has been agreed upon.
Senator David Davis announces in private LETT
! ter that he will take part in the present cam

General Ewing s saddest when he bowls inst now.
His desperate efforts to make everything lovely
among his party followers have failed. and strong
anti-Ewlng faction has sprung mp. The Republicans
are working with a will aud hope 70 give the great
apostle OF soft money severe drubbing.
That fusion of the Democratic and Greenback
tickets in Iowa is causing trouble already. At a

Iowa to join us in the condemnation OF the action

Mr. Curtin does not find his path TO Congressional
honors from the XXth Pennsylvania District strewn
with flowers The district is Democratic by large
majority, but the dyed-n-the-wool Democrats are
dissatisfied with his nomination, and many OF them
propose TO bolt it. Some tried and true Democrats
were set aside in order that Curtin might baye tho
honor and the disaffecton is IN consequence large

But he can reply that they elected nun khoFHIng
lust what he was, and that it is unfair TO order
man to " get out p" of his premises. Altogether
il is a very pretty scrimmage, with Butter de-
seTvedly little ahead.
