POLITICAL NOTES.

the Lost Cause looks brighter now
than it did in 1861.
ReIy~ If Wade Hampton is thoroughly
conciliated," his State hasn't profited
by his example. ~ y. Tribune.
Ray~ Every man who opposes Gov
ernment administered by communstic
tramps will vote the Republican ticket.
Cedar Rapids Times.
Rsy~ Mr.. Hayes has improved civil
service and bettered American repre-
sentation abroad.--,I Louis Republican.
RAY Democratic rule has brought
Tennessee to the verge of bankruptcy.
Lawlessness and public corruption are
the rule. Commercial AdUertiSer.
Bay~ It is a fact noted by most of the
Democratic papers that "the last Re-
publican daily journal in Mississippi
has just stopped publication" 1t
speaks volumes though. Commercial
AdUertiSer.
ray Mr.. Potter has charged Mr..
Sherman, publicly and officially, with
conspiracy; the charge has been COM
pletely disproved. Will Mr.. Potter,
who is esteemed as a fair man, be just,
and retract false accusationP-N Y.
Tribune.
Rsiy~ If Senator Thurman, at this stage
of the game, makes his submission to
the rag baby, we shall entertain doubts
about his election to the Presidency of
the United States. Cincinnati CONNER
cidl.
Rayn The Republicans of Louisiana
will not nominate State ticket this
fall, but will indorse conservative can
didates. They find that it would be
useless to put a ticket of their own in
the field. Commercial AdUerLiSer.
Rdy~ Another Democratic House would
be great national calamity, but it
might prove blessing in the end, for
it would make dead sure thing of the
election of a Republican President in
1SS0.-Net0 London Telegraph.
R9yh 1t suits the purposes of Demo
cratic economy to create new salaried
positions in the Xenia Home at the
same time that the numbers of the chill
dren are being reduced by the O'COn-
nor law. Cincinnati Gazette.
Baya The resumption of specie pay
ment, which is now a foregone conclu-
sion, will knock the bottom out of the
National movement, and make hole
in the old Democratic hulk probably
big enough to sink it.-IndiGnapoIi
journal.
Ragn This is poor time for hard
money Democrats to bow down and rub
themselves in the dust before the rag
baby. The financial situation is such
that advocates of the repeal of the Re-
sumption act must mean initiation with
a view of reputation. The case is
clear. Cincinnati Commercial.
RSg-Senator Voorhees,, the present
loud-voiced advocate of greenbacks, is
confronted with the remembrance that
he never voted for an issue of green
backs in his life, and during the war
never, in or out of Congress, omitted
an opportunity to denounce the Federal
notes as Lincoln rags"
HsagH 1t has been proved beyond a
doubt that the so-called Anderson-We eb-
er agreement was product of the Dem
ocratic forgery mill in New Orleans.
The same bureau ought to be able to
turn out a Sherman letter. Itwould be
an inexpressible boon to the Butler
Committee just now.-Cncinnatt Ga
zette.
Bay@ 1t must distress an infationist
unspeakably to find his greenbacks al
most at par with gold, and likely to be
fully up to it before the meeting of Con-
gress. John Sherman proposes to make
money good, but not cheap, and those
who earn it will know it's value, and
use it accordingly.-Cin Cincinnati Com
nlerciaI.
Rsay@ The Democratic House of Rep
resentatives cut down the regular APP
preparations and claimed q great re-
duction in the annual expenses of the
Government; afterward they made up
the appropriations by deficiency bills,
but said nothing about those amounts.
If it was not deliberate deception, what
was itP-Repubhc.
Rsgn Temporary success may be
achieved by the Southern Democratic
leaders by practically annulling the
Fifteenth Amendment, and by relegat-
ing 4, 100000 ofcolor9d freemen in those
States to a condition of serfdom by un.
Just legislation, intimidation, and the
like; but in the end the right will tri.
umph, and success secured by wrong
will be turned to disastrous defeat
Boston Journal.
BayH The country was promised good
times if it would only consent to giving
the Democracy control of the House OF
Representatives The country con.
sented some four years ago. Note the
result. The country is less prosperous
than before. Everything appears Out
of joint. Business is dull, people are
grumbling; even the Indians are raising
old Ned, If the nation permits this
Democratic folly to continue we shall
soon be forced into national bankrupt
cy. Is it not about time TO return tc
the old Republican flagP-Republc.
Ras~Nothing, in our judgment, coulC
be more effectual as a means of disin
|, tegrating the so-called National-Green
back-Labor organization than a few
months trial of the specie-basis. The
, chasm to be spanned is an exceedingly
narrow one, and very short step will
take us safely across it. Once on the
other side, we shall be prepared imme
diately for revival of substantial pros
perity. Business men will know jus
where they stand and what to expect
Property of all kinds will have an es
tablished value, easily ascertainable
and not liable to sudden and violen
fluctuations. Investments of capita
will be rendered comparatively safe, Sc
that those who have money may put i
into the channels of productive indus
try and trade with a reasonable degree
of confidence. Let us have resumption
now, say as early as Aug. l, and, be
fore Congress gets together again
every plausible pretext for meddlins
with the currency will have vanished
