POLITICAL NOTES.


Bay Hampton has kept his promise.
The 'color line is entirely wiped out
in South Carolina. -NeC York Tribune
BSs~ The Republican party is in line
for 1880, with the great States of New
York and Pennsylvania solid behind it.
Bas~ We've got Kentucky certain,
and that some consolation. They never
tire down there. - Cincinnati Enquire1
(Dem.
Nay Pendleton saw it was epidemic,
and hurried home. One effort, and he
grew homesick. Cincinnati Enquire,
(Dem.)
BSsa This is an "off year" In the
words of John Kelly, "we are beaten
all along the line."-Bu6alo Uourt5,
(Dem.
BSF", Now, Gen. Butler, get even with
the unsympathetic Democracy by call
ing the Potter Committee together and
going for the cipherers.
BeIS" 1t WASH t much of day for hold
ing elections either. But, then, we were
iolted up a little more than we ex.
pected. Cincinnati Enquirer DEM.
B9y" The Solid South is in pretty good
condition for its Treasury raid, but its
Northern ally, Tammany, is in sore
need of a long season for rest and re-
pairs.
BsE" The Cincinnati Enquirer draws
from Tuesdays trouble this moral:
The Democracy must rally around the
Ohio Idea. The Newburg Asylum is
yet to be heard FROM Cleveland Her
aid.
RSS- Barnum, the mule buyer, is
among the slain, and Connecticut will
have two men in the next Senate in
stead of one and an empty chair. The
mule market is likely to be feverish for
a day or two.
Ra~ Wade Hampton pawned his
honor as well to the American people
as to the Republican administration, as
security for the rights of the South
Carolina freedmen. What does Presi-
dent Hayes think the ticket is worth to-
dayP-B0StOn T'rdUeler.
BsS@ The only hope for Hendricks
now is to run as the candidate of the
Solid South and the soft money West.
The East can give him no help. The
sooner, therefore, that he gets both feet
on combination platform of unlimited
claims and unlimited money the better
for him.-M Y. Tribune.
B6g~ 1t is a curious coincidence that
Ben Butler birthday should have fallen
on the 9TH day of November, the very
day that he got scooped so bad for Gov
ernor. The old rascal sets himself
down at sixty. Judged by his wicked
ness he is at least 100 Chicago Trtb-
Ulle.
BSE~ The Potter Committee spends
$4,000 of public money in most dis
graceful effort to blacken the Repub-
lican name before the world, and stands
pilloried to-day with the odium of a
discovered conspiracy which ought to
consign some of the magnates of the
Democracy to the Penitentiary.-Pbt
GdetphiG Bulletin.
BaE" The first New Years call of 1879
will be on John Sherman by prodigal
who has been going up and down the
land these many years with This is q
dollar" tackled to his green back. The
poor fellow will be taken in and re-
deemed, and his life of vagabondage
will be over. Thereafter he'll be as
good as gold Chicago Times Dem. J
Bag Perhaps it will occur to Mr.
Thurman now that his enemies were
right when they announced his funeral
after the October elections. There is
about rs much chance for soft-money
candidate for the Presidency in 1880 as
there is for a coparcener to develop
wings and turn into an angel of truth
and light.-N Y. Tribune.
BeF@ While Democratic orator in
this city, last night, was showing to the
people how much Democratic Con-
gress has cut down the expenditures of
the Government, Secretary of the Navy
Thompson was explaining to a reporter
that millions of dollars worth of Gov
ernment material is going to destruc-
ton because Congress had refused to
give him money enough to take care of
-Phtlade'phi Bulletin.
BsE~ In the Tuesdays elections every
element of opposition which could be
brought to bear was arraved against
the Republicans. Combinations were
formed where there seemed to be a
chance of success. The contest in
many of the States has been terribly in
earnest, and characterized by the ut
most bitterness and determination. We
went into the fight knowing the char
acter of the opposition, and if not the
winner in every contest, we are in the
main victorious Toledo Commercial.
BEg~ In the old time when the Cape
Cod preacher was asked to deliver
his customary annual prayer over a
certain piece of land, the good man
suddenly stopped, and raising his hands
with a sort of horror, said, this land
don't need no blessing-this land needs
n1anure." The people at this time are
in the like condition. They don't need
spread-eagle orations. They need prac-
tical reforms; and the glib rhetoric of
the self-complacent East is quite as
meaningless and misleading as the
driveling vulgate of the bowling West
erner, whose only idea of reform is to
print enough greenbacks to pay the
National debt and have a good time off
the proceeds, leaving Satan to take the
ndmOst.-LOuiSUiLte COurier-JOuTndI
(Dem.)
SBBr Several more Presidential can
didates were killed off yesterday. Ben
Butler can never be President, even if
Kearney has registered an oath to
place him in the White House. The
New York election and the cipher tele-
grams have disposed of Samuel j. Til
den. Gen. Mcclellan is played out
New Jersey went back on him. The
Ohio election and the greenback non
sense has already placed Allen G. Thur
man on the shelf. The man whose
chances for the Democratic Presiden-
tial nomination were improved yester-
day, is Thomas f. Bayard, of Delaware.
He refused to worship at the "fiat mon
ey" altar, and Delaware went solidly
Democratic. Besides, he is one of the
best and ablest men in the country
Columbus Dispatch.
BDr We have reaped the reward of
standing firmly up to right principle.
Greenbackism has been most merciless-
ly squelched. as il deserved To he. 1t
