POLITTCAL NOTES.
bricks.

There are enough Republicans in this State fol
one party but not enough for two.
The Potter Committee has shaken one mans title
TO a night editOrship and another mans sanity
Tally two
When Watterson sat in the Wormley Conference
as the representative of South Carolina, what was
he but brazen earpet-baggerT
There is dangerous chance that Tilden may ac-
cumulate more fraud" than his platform will
bear. Mr.. Marbles activity as telegraphic diplo-
matist Will be an awful load.
Butler does not seem to be popular in Springfield,
Mass. The chairman of the Democratic City Com
mttee declined to sign petition to make the Gen
eral Governor, but remarked with warmth that he
would cheerfully sign one to have him hanged This
would be unnecessary cruelty. The General IS too
much of public amusement to be yanked out of
existence in that way or IN any other.
Secretary McCrary will follow Secretary sher-
mans example and take the stump this Fall. He
will speak in Iowa at KeOkuk on September 10; at
Davenport on September ~. and at Sioux City on
September Ii. What he will say about the Admin
lstratiOn's policy is not announced, but the proba-
blity is that he will follow the lead of tie Repub-
lican platform in the State and ignore the whole
subject That would certainly be the more discreet
course
General Garfield has been nominated for Congress
for the ninth time. He has always been popular in
his district but there been less OppOsi-
ton TO him heretofore. This year. however, he was
nominated by acclamatiOn without q single dissent
ing voice. This recognition of his valuable service
was as generous as It was deserved He will make
a Suepch at MagsillOn on SATURDAY., and will then
come East TO take part in the canvass in Maine,
Massachusetts,, and Connecticut, returning to ONO
on September 10.
Ex-Governor Brown. of Tennessee, thinks the
Democratic nominee for Governor there will unite
the party and make its certain. He believes
the new Congressional delegation will surely con
tain as many Democrats as the present one, and
would not be surprised to gain of one. AS fol
the movement 10 make Judge Key a candidate fol-
Governor. Mr. Brown doesn't think il will amount
to anything He Is sure the Democratic State ticket
will be elected by large majority even If the Re-
publiCans and Greenbackers combine against It,
which IS not likely event.
The prominent part which the rifle clubs are TAX.
ing in the South Carolina canvass is shown By re-
cent Democratic mass-meeting at Spartanburg
Before the speaking began there was parade OF
the military in attendance, and the line, made up
of rifle clubs and other fully armed organizations
was over mile long. Governor Hampton made an
address. dwelling with especial emphasis upon the
necessity of securing control of the Legislature and
sending Democratic delegation to Congress. He
was especially anxious to q Democratic ma
could be cast for a Democratic President in case
the election We're thrown into the House in 1881.
At tbs point he worked in left-handed yhack at
Mr. Tiden, by remarking that be trusted the party
will roll up overwhelming majority for its Presi
Dental candidates in $780, anu that " they will be
men who will dare to take the place to which the
people shall have called them" General Gary fol-
lowed up this idea few minutes later by suggest
ing a military ticket against Grant in 1880 "l
for one" he said, do not propose to advocate the
election of any man who has not the pluck 10 claim
an Office when he has been elected 10 II. want Il
pit Greek against Greek, and 10 nominate the abest
military man IN the South TO stand side by side with
HIM in the Presidency, and would do 1t, because
believe the majority of the soldiers of the North
fought for constitutional liberty. | know the sol
diers of the South fought for IT, and il place
such ticker in the field Hancock for Pres ident
and Hampton for Yiee-PTesident, we will secure
constitutional liberty This gives an inkling OF
the reason why Hampton went out of his way
recently TO make tho unnecessary announcement
that he was opposed to a ticket composed of Hayes
and Hampton.
