Political Notes.

Inc new 1OTk ouU, alleT shouting
fraud for two years, is silent after the
publication OF the cipher dispatches
and Tilden's card.
The next total eclipse will be that
OF the "Greenbackers." Date of
eclipse, Jan. 1st, 1879: cause, specie
resumption. I. will not only be total,
but lasting.-Kendallvllle Standard.
The Democratic papers have sud-
denly discovered that Pelton, Tilden's
nephew. is "bumptious and lily bal
anced." as well as indiscreet. Will
Mr.. Pelton publish a card?-Inter-
Ocean.
Kansas papers speak OF emigration
to that State as unprecedented. One
day last week the trains OF the A.,
T. & s. F. landed at Topeka 1000
emigrants, mostly from Ohio and
Indiana. So heavy is travel that
most OF their through trains are now
run in two sections.
From present indications it is not
likely that the soft-money question
will be an issue in the presidential
contest Of 1880. 1t will be settled
long before that date. Thurman,
Hendricks, Tilden, have gone glim-
mering; Bayard and Hancock look
up smiling.-St. Paul Mimi Pioneer
Press.
Thurlow Weed, interviewed on the
subject of the cipher kilograms, said
he regarded the disclosures as the
elimination of long series OF frauds,
by means OF which results of cleo
tions in New York had been changed
Mr.. Tilden, he thought, had simply
extended the system from the State
to the nation.
At every point where the Republi-
cans made the canvass on the princi-
Piles OF the party. refusing to unite
with any other party and dallying
with none other, they have either
won a victory or made splendid gains
In this State, while on the other hand,
wherever they sought to make an al
lance with the fiat money craze. they
lost votes and prestige. Parties must
be honest as well as men.-Indianian.
The Charleston Neics and Courier
says: I've vigorously supported Mr..
Tilden for the Democratic nominal
ton for President. 1t was the best
thing to do. perhaps; but it leaves
bad taste in the mouth, although, on
the foremost question OF the times,
pay or reeudiate. Mr.. Tilden Is far
ahead OF a Thurman and Voorhees,.
No more OF Tilden in the South, or OF
anybody like himw
General Garfield very shrewdly es-
Inmates that the exposure Of the Til
den cipher dispatches and Of his
gigantic conspiracy will not hurt the
Democratic party nearly as much as
a similar exposure would the Repub-
lican party. The reason is obvious.
The Republican party recognizes a
higher moral standard, and more Is
expected of it than OF the Democracy.
Nevertheless, the exposure In this
case Is so complete and damning that
even the Democracy must suffer-
The New York World, the leading
Democratic organ OF the nation. says:
"Tilden's card is too long for denial
and too short for explanation. 1t de-
MES only what needed no denial, and
explains only what needed no explain
ation.' 1t regards his earnest and
emphatic assertion that he resisted
all overtures to buy the presidency,
as presumptive evidence that he al
lowed such overtures to him, and
asks, "What are we to think OF
great political leader who could even
be approached in such a way by those
whom he had honored with his conf
dence and selected as his agents p
The further comments OF the World
are very significant, and indicate a
fixed purpose on its part to throw the
old man overheard.
The Charleston Is. Co. Ne,cs. refer
ring to the recent order Of Attorney
General Devens to Southern District
attorneys, says: "The Democracy are
strong enough to protect their own
party and their opponents too, and
they mean to do it. They will not
tolerate any interference with the
