POLITICAL NOTES.

Bet you q tin whistle you'll read The TRIBUNE
to-day, Mr. Marble!
Inscription on the Ark Here lies one whose
name was writ IN cipher
The TRIBUNE purposes to submit tomorrow o few
more frst-class planks for Mr.. Tilden's fraud"
platform.
If anybody bankers for further Climpses of the
sins that "fraudD veil was designed to cover, the
amount is still ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS than slightly.
That trio of coparceners, Marble, Pelton and Have
meyer, developed an astounding capacity for poiti-
cal wckedness. considering they were only ANA
teur politicians.
The hope that Mr. Cox would reverse himself"
and resume his judgment" is doomed to meet
with disappointment. He sinks deeper III the mlre
every time lac makes a speech.
To.morrows elections may put an extinguisher
upon Thurman and Hendricks, but their disappear
ance cannot save Tilden. II he didn't know what
his trusted agents were up to right under his nose
he is too innocent for this wicked world
The thrilling history Of reform by Fraud" en-
tiers this morning upon its eliminating chapters.
To-day's chapter principally illustrates the way IN
which Mr.. Marble and his visiting statesmen
conrted Dir. Marbles bright sunlight Oh pup

Glover has not yet succeeded in securing re-
prospect that he may be left at home. This is not
altogether welcome news. for if Glover doesn't get
back the chances are that his seat will be occupied
by some other Missouri Democrat who will have

The solemn old lady in nightcap who edits The
Boston Post ia sure that Washington rumor about
the way in which The TRIBUNE secured the cipher
dispatches is true. because The TRIBUNE "aione

toward Buter now easily explained" Butler Will
undoubtedly agree with the old lady, alone OF
al other ladies', that the silence is wonderful"
Blanton Duncan has started circus which, in
some respects, eclipses Buffers. He is travelling
over the Congressional District liz Kentucky, where
he Is the Greonback candidate, with wagon which
is equipped with desk, small cannon aud some
locomotive headlights. When he reaches place
where he wishes TO speak he fires of his cannon.

cannon or the chm.

to the community by taking an active interest
in muniopal affairs, Well, it would be hard TO
prove that Mr. Babcock would not make good

Where oh whore is the Potter Committee with
its sherman letter and its startling developments
Tho October elections are here, and the November
elections are close their heels and yet the
promised disclosures of Republican fraud triumph
ant have not been made Meanwhile che array of
Democratic fraud that not triumphant is be-
coming more and more appalling, and IL about To
eliminate in perfect deluge of infamous evidence
Mr. Potter ia not keeping hls end up worth cent,
though no has spent $40, 900 OF tho Governments
funds while The TRIBUNE hasn't had any.
The Massachusetts Prohibtionlsts are showing
signs of good sense which their candidate for
Governor would do we'll TO absorb. Those of them
who are Republicans are declaring with encourage
ing unanmity that the best way for them TO adj
vance their interests is to vote for Talbot. Dr.
Miners agents sent 10 circular to certain town
recently, asking for the names of five Temperance
Renublicans and received word in reply that there
was not even one such man there who proposed To
wore for Butler by the indirect way O1 voting Ior
Dr. Miner. This ~ encouraging, ana ought 10 teach
the Doctor that no has a most uncommon 9ppoftu-
nI,y TO distinguish himself by withdrawing from the
field.
The country was never blest with such an abund-
auce of statesmen as it is to-day. Returns received
at the hesdouarters of the different parties in Wash
inpton show that there over 500 candidates for
Congress now in the field. AS there are only 292
districts, and as some nominations arc yet TO DO
made there will DO average of nearly three can
didates to each Congressional district. Some dis
triots have only two candidates. while others with
nothing mean about them reyel i'll five. Less than
half or only about 100 of the members of the present
House, have succeeded in securing denomination.
which shows that the crank OH the mills OF tho gods
IL still in motion.
A curious and important revelation has been
brought out by the interchange of amenities be-
tween the Democratic journals of this city over the
condition of the Finance Department. The Star re-
marks: eff The World had any vestige of decent
instinct left it would now either accept the gage
thus flung down or hencefOrth put muzzle on its
favorito arithmetic man. but We don't expect to see
II do either for the reason that mule is not readily
tauQbt TO refrain from kicking" AT first glance
this leaves the reader in doubt whether the muzzle
ia intended for the mouth or the heels of that
phenomenal person the arithmetic man, but the con-
I'm siOn yanishes before the obvious suggestion that
owing to the extreme altitude of his ears the quick
