POLITICAL NOTES.

Cleveland Leader.
BSs- The man who voted a greenback
ticket yesterday, feels this morning as
though he was offered on the market
at twenty-three cents on the dollar, on
long time at that, and yet no takers
HdOb-Eye.
BEas~ Hard times struck the country
in 1873; the Resumption act passed in
1875. To assume the former to have
been caused by the latter is not more
untenable than the position of the wolf
which accused the lamb of troubling
the waters below him.-SteubenUille
(O.) Herald.
BaSn" More money" was a very poor
party cry for the Greenbackers. What
they really wanted was "more voters"
and they wanted them awfully bad, too,
same as people want revolvCrs in Texas.
How foolish it was, therefore, for them
to 90 about shrieking, "What we want
is more money"
BSS@ It seems to us that the Green
hackers and Democrats won sort of a
" fiat " victory you know; they can just
print in great headlines in their papers,
This is a glorious greenback victory"
and that will make it one. But it won't
get their canCi Cidates to Congress, al
though they might create I" fiat "
Congress for them. And yet-but it is
possible to pursue this painful theme
indefinitely -HaCk-EYe.
RYyp You know how sad a preacher
feels when he stands up in the pulpit
Sunday morning, and can't see a soul
in the house except the sexton and the
organ blower, playing draw poker in
the last pew? Well, that's the way the
Greenback party in Iowa feels this
morning. Do not scoff at the poor
| Greenbacker. Lie to him and tell him
you feel sorry for im.-HaWk-Eye.
RSS- Two notable political deaths
have occurred of late among Demo-
cratic candidates for the Presidency.
Thurman and Tilden have both passed
off the stage. Thurman was killed by
the verdict of Ohio on the rag-money
heresy, and the Florida cipher dis
patches did the business for Tilden.-

RSg- Ex-senator Robinson, of South
! Carolina, thinks there will be solid
Democratic Congressional delegation
elected from that State this fall. The
Republicans, he says, will make no
fight, except in the first and second
districts, and he does not think they
can succeed there, as the colored vote
can no longer be held for them. If he
is correct it only shows that Wade
Hampton's military companies are on
the alert; for those two districts can
only be carried for the Democracy by
the most terrific bull-dozing.-NelC
! Republic.
Bar Whatever may be the political
complexion of the next Congress there
is decided comfort for honest men in
the thought that before it meets specie
payments will have become an estab-
lished usage, and, with steady stream
of coin or its equivalent coming to the
country in payment for our exports, the
question will soon be eliminated from
the politics of the country. We are
selling hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of produce annually more than
we are buying, and before the next
Congress meets we will ask no boot OF
the anti-resumptionists. .-Ne0 Republic.
Rag- Ben. Hill, in Georgia.: :" begin
to think the Democratic party can
never be killed. Secession did not
kill it; the war did not kill it; fraud did
not kill it; it has not killed itself and il
will not de- Kill the Democratic
party9 OF course you can't That
Just what the sinners said to Noah, "By
George" says they, "you may drown
every last beggar of us, and the world
will be so full of us before the grounC
is dry, that you can't shut your eyes
and throw club without hitting some
of us and having a fight on youl
hands" And they are all right; there
are more of them and worse ones in the
world to-day than there were before thu
flood. OF course you can't kill tht
Democratic party, but it isn't on ac
count of its goodness or usefulness.
, B9y What does Wade Hampton
mean by talking to the colored citizen
, of South Carolina in this way: "Yol
can, my colored friends, have you
share of South Carolina-you can hav,
! all the share that any citizen has-yoI
can aid in choosing its rulers, and if yol
} show yourselves worthy, honest ant
, capable, you can become ofiice-holder
/ yourselves. But you can do it only il
2 one way, and that is by joining thi
2 strong, grand old Democratic party.
2 The men to whom Wade Hampton
talks in this condescending way ar
not slaves or freedmen; they are Amer
lean citizens. Their rights under tn
law are coequal and coeXtensive wit
! Wade Hampton's. By what warran
1 does he presume to say to them tina
; they shall not have this or that unles
: they vote as he wants them toP Tha
: kind of talk comes with an especiall
bad grace from the mouth of Wad
: Hampton. Y. Sun.
B9-Blaine's speech Monday nigh
; bristled all over with sharp points
, When he spoke of the intrinsi
. value of gold-that it was good in a
countries, in all ages, and anon
8 all peoples-a greenback fiat lunati
= shouted out: "Who made it goodP
g Without moments hesitation Blain
= answered.: God Almighty Th
poor fool thought he would catch Blain
. with the admission that the gold col
owed its value to the Governmer
= stamp upon it, but Blaine asserted tha
II a gold coin issued in the time of Juliu

!. the Great. - Chicago Tribune.
ID BS5- The example of Ohio will carr
ID encouragement to our friends in 9th
of States. Up to this time there has bee
N some reason to doubt whether success
,e full stand could be made against Il
a. doctrine of ignorant and dishone
n demagogism that was sweeping ov
,d the land. The result in Maine had u
or settled the faith of honest men in qua
fe ters where it had not been shaken b
So fore, and the Democrats and Gree
of hackers were prompt and vociferous
