POLITICAL NOTES.

The Democrats look upon Florida as horrible
internal machine.
The reward for quickened conscience should
be enhanced. 1t is more than q week since Q new
was reported.

If Fernando Wood succeeds in "inducIng" few
Democratic Congressman to vote for that Tariff
bill nc will swell the Republican vote in Pennsyl
vania by several thousands.
Speaker Randall is credited with saying that he
thinks the Democrats will carry Pennsylvania, but
if they lose it, it will be because of their folly.
He seems to be doing his best to supply the
requisite amount OF folly.
There is an impression in some parts Of Ohio that
Senator Thurman is extremely likely to be the
Democracy's next Presidential candidate. lie can
carry the Eastern and Middle States for the Repub-
lcau candidate as quickly as any other man.
The most significant demonstration of the local
elections in the West is that the National party is
not strong il has been represented to be. Ii is
clearly enough not gaining strength. and is likely,
in case resumption becomes an assured fact by next
September to play a comparatively unlmpOrtant
part in the Fall elections.
Milton Sayler is afraid his party friends in Ohio
will oyerdo the business of redstricting the State
He saws they ought not to try to fix things"
to secure more than eleven twelve OF the twenty
Congressman in the States delegation. As the
party has only eight now. inc hiding Banning, who
never elected, Mr. SayleTs m0desty Is less con-
spcuOus than his impudence.
Secretary Sherman made brief speech in Cleve-
land the other night, which contained a good deal
of wholesome philosophy. He had remarked to
crowd of serenaders that he believed the country
was entering upon career of greater prosperity
than ever before, when some one shouted: It's
very slow coming, sherman" Yes" replied he,
4" but it is if 1t is slow" The sooner the
country cOmpreheuds that the 3 low coming pros
perity Is tie only kind that is lasting, the better
will it be for it.
Glover's unaccountable silence is explained at
last. He has abandoned, temporarily, his left
handed raids on the Democratic party, and has
entered upon the tremendous task of removing the
smrches from the private characters of his ex-
perts. one of them labors under the impediment
of two criminal indictments by the Grand Jury Of
the District Of Columbia, and Glover has been ex-
amining the witnesses which appeared before the
Jury to see if the indictments are well grounded.
lie sees that he must first his experts toler-
ably decent character before he can hope TO nave
their discoveries treated with any consideration.
This is a curious way TO eXpend the Appropriation
assigncd'him, but it is a great mercy to the Demo-
cratic party tuat he has felt moved to do 1t.
Nasty announces that his conscience has been
quickeued to no oincOnsderable purpose. He started
for the Democratic Examining Committee with two
confessions in his pocket; one telling what he did
not do in Louisiana, and the other telling what he
did DO WheG his turn came 10 be presented to the
examiner he offered the first document, and was
asked: Wat offs did the YoOserper Hayes reiooze

then handed in his second document, upon reading
which the examiner turned pale, then unbeEt IN
smile and said d" We know you, Mr. Nasty. John,
ask Mr. Nasby ef he will take suthln." Nasby took
"suthin.p aud the result was that he moved INTO
sumptuous hotel apartments the next day, and cut
so fine an appearance thai the walters called him

with customary philosophy The conteshn Dznls;
