POLITICAL NOTES.

State. There is very slight probability
that the new party will do the State any
more harm than the old parties did.
B6S~ The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle
speaks of an emancipation proclama-
ton that virtually made five white men
slaves where one negro was freed"
Evidently the Chronicle considers every
man slave who has to work for his
living.
Bds~ Hon. Charles Foster has written
a letter in which he says he has been
strongly importuned to be become a
candidate in the Seventh District, but
he considers the manly thing for him
to do is TO make the canvass in the
Eight District
Bay~ Hendricks and Randall would
make popular straddle-bug ticket for
1880. Randall straddles the tariff issue
with the grace and compass of the
Colossus of Rhodes, and Hendricks
straddles the currency, and everything
else, as if his legs belong to forty-ton
derrick. - Chicago Tribune.
Bay" The official report of the last ses-
sion of Congress fills six volumes, COM
prising 5,400 pages. Any man who
meditates voting the Democratic ticket
this fall ought to be forced to read the
volumes Sin course" He would be
cured of Democratic leanings forever.
~ Y. Tribune.
Bs5n 1t is time to teach Mr.. Stephens,
however great his age, his accomplish
ments, his physical debility, or his pre-
tended Jeffersonian republicanism, that
the South cannot be seduced from its
allegiance to that party which has strug-
gled for fifteen years to elevate us to
political equality in the union. Mobile
Register.
Bsg" There has never been time in
the history of the Democratic party
when it was not ready to sacrifice the
welfare and peace of the country to
party ends. 1t has inaugurated war
and rumors of war, revolutions, agita-
ton and disturbances of oil kinds for
party purposes. 1t is a national nui-
sance and should be destroyed In
dtGndpoLtS Journal.
DH~ What wont man do when he
wants to be PRESIDENT Here is Judge
Thurman, hard money man by educa-
tion and principle, fathering, so to
speak, the Ohio semi-inhation platform,
and consenting to the crazy idea that
when we have made the greenback
within fractional per cent. of equal
value with specie, we must flee from
specie payments, pour out more paper,
and go on again through all the troubles
we have experienced since 1S73.-Bos-
ton Herald.
RaE~ The New York Sun has most re-
markable talent for placing itself on
the wrong side of every important pub
lie question. Ithas begun to battle the
public current that seems to be setting
in favor of Gen. Grant for 1880 all over
the country. 1t is a little too much to
the fore on this question. Its part has
not been properly called as yet. Wait
until public sentiment chrystalizes and
presents itself tangibly, and then the
Sun will have a better opportunity to
appreciate the magnitude of the Job it
has on hand.-NatlonaI Republican.
BS~ The exigencies of the hour in
1860 raised up in prairie town of Illi-
nois, one of the greatest and best char
acters of modern times; and the slave
holders rebellion took from leather
store in Galena, an humble, quiet and
unambitious man, to command the
armies of the Union in the most gigantic
civil conflict ever known in the world;
and it may happen that the evil spirit
of the Democracy, and the purpose of
the Communists, may make it neces-
sary to make Grant President in $780,
-JaneSUiILe Gazette.
BS~ We don'tw to alarm anybody,
but these are facts: There is the Com
mune, whose banner is red flag; the
burners of reaping and moving ma
chimes in the Ohio, Indiana and Mis-
souri, rural districts wear red flannel
badges; then there are Thurman and
Hendricks, who carry red bandanas;
and there is Cronin, of Oregon, with
his famous red nose. Now, what does
all this sudden outbreak of redness
mean?-DetroH Telegraph.
B5" Moses w. Field, the head Ma
tionalist and principal Working
MANS shrieker of Michigan, is one of
the richest men in the State, and every
dollar of his money was made by shay
ing notes and lending money at exorb-
liant interest. His dodge was to loan
on real estate security at Is per cent,
act as his own attorney in foreclosure,
and, between interest and fees, eat up
the entire property.-ToyedO Blade.
BaS" An inspection of the reconstruct
ed army bill which the Democrats sue
ceeded in passing, shows a number of
novel and brilliant specimens of Bour-
bon patchwork. The economy in the
allowance of horses is something fear
full and wonderful. Gen. Sherman is
not allowed a horse, but Lieutenant
of Marines may have two, while the
cavalry Colonels and Captains must 90
afoot or stay behind, no horses being
allowed them. Chicago Tribune.
B9r What party in Ohio ever before
muzzled its press in the midst of a cam
paign, and did not permit it to utter a
word about its Legislaturep Everybody
knows that the Legislature is the DEM
ocratic party of Ohio to-day. If the
party stands the Legislature stands with
it. If one falls, the other falls with it.
The commanding issue in October will
be on the Endorsement of Legislature
for which now nobody has a good word
to say, not even the men who were in
it, and who are charged with the grav-
est derelictions of duty, as we'll as overt
acts of rowdyism and rascality.-DGy-
ton Journal
Ba~ Lieut.. Gov. Frank I. Campbell,
of Iowa, has been dealing some vigor-
Gus blows to the greenback lunatics, in
a debate at Newton. In this he has
propounded these questions:
/. Does your party propose IN issue moro
greenbacks, and, II so, what amount! And
how will you get them In circulationl
2. What do you propose to redeem them in
o. Does your party propose TO force people
to accept them in exchange for labor, produce,
merchandise, etc.
4. What would be the coin value Of green
backs based on nothingl
D. Does your party propose to pay off the
bonds with new issue of greenbacksi
BsS@ The next Senate is assured. 1t
is Democratic beyond all question and
by a handsome majority. We do not
think there is reasonable doubt that
the House of REPRESENTATIVES. will he
