POLITICAL NOTES.

The yigOT with which the Repubiic2ns are every
where pushing tho canvass must be gratifying TO
all members OF he party.
You might as we'll fire pop-gun at rhinoceros,
Mr. Field, as attempt to injure IIlden by showing
mp his elevated railroad record
The watchword down in Yazoo now is: If any
man attempts to vote outside the party shoot him
IN tine back
Every one desirous Of q lively canvass in New
York this Fall will hope for the nomination OF
Mr. Schell at Utica to-day.
Senator Jones, Of Florida, thinks that the best
manipulation will get the Democratic nomination
for President next year. Here am" says the in
nOcent samuel
The Democrats got mp a report that Secretary
Sherman was sick and would have 10 retire from
the campaign. The heavy blows ne continues 10
strike show that he is q pretty healthy SICK man.
When John j. Junio, the Greenback fug!eman'
says that the Democrats can't nominate man VINO
will be acceptable his party, no is simply striking
for more "COpenhagen"
The Democratic Stll-hunt for the Legislature IN
Ohio Is likely to prove rs barren as their canvass
for Governor. The Republicans have been>warned
and are on the alert to prevent any SURPRISE
There comes painful rumor to hand that Gov
ernOr Robnsons in the country districts Is
not panning out as well as expected And still the
wonder grows where ali those HOrtd circulars came
from.
Spruger'5 mouth is likely to do the Democrats as
much injury as Barksdales shotgun. His inter
views with newspaper correspondents are carrying
CONSERVATION in the partys councils. SOmeDouy
should take a reef in his up.
General Garfield made his first speech since his
return to Ohio at Wellington, Monday evening. 1t
was in his best vein, and was received with enthu-
siasm. lie leaves IN few days for Maine, where
lie viii deliver five speeches next week
The suggestion of Mr.. Nathan d. Wendell, Of Al
bany as candidate for State Treasurer on the Re-
publican ticket is heartily seconded by The Albany
Journal. He has twice proved his popularity in the
Democratic county OF Albany, having been elected
County Treasurer by over 1900 majority, ana re-
elected by majority more than twice as large:
Mr.. Wendell is fortunate IN having the support Oh
those who have known him long and intimately.
The Wisconsin Republicans have begun their
campaign without waiting for the Democrats to
make their nominations A thorough canvass OF
the State has been planned and will be vigorously
carried out. There is little danger of any Demo-
cratic lightning striking in that State. but the Re-
pubcans recognize the fitness of having their party
thoroughly organized andready tor the Presldehtlal
contest OF next year.
Butler Is said to be quietly at work in the back
towns of Massachusetts distributing documentsand
siren tightening the points where he proved weakest
y
in his canvass this year but more real work he Is
not so foolish as 10 repeat the tactics OF last year
when ne got so sOuudly beaten. The versatile
General evidently believes there Is more than one
way to capture the Executive chalr oil the ola bay
State
Monday afternoon Secretary Sherman spoke at
Mount Vernon, Ohio, and received an enthusiastic
welcome. He gave a clear review of the financial
condition of the country, spoke with pride of the
record of the Republican party, and closed with
thrilling arraignment of the South for its practical
notification of the Constitutional Amendments.
Besides speaking the Secretary is giving the State
Committee the benefit of his political experience
and foresight In a conversation at Columbus he
said he found the Republicans everywhere on the
alert and confident of victory, IN which confidence
he himself shared.
The opinion is growing in Massachusetts, that the
best ticket to beat Butler with is one headed BY
Pierce and Long. Such combination, it Is
thought would end all rivalry in the Republican
rp"ks and satisfy the friends of both cand,ie-,s.

Platt, the National candidate for Governor of
Ono delivered characteristic harangue in Cincn-
natl Monday evening. Ho placed the debts of the
country at $40 900 100000, and the egal-tender
issue during the war at ~, 500, 100000. He con-
tlnued III this way, describing tho worhingmen q,
slaves, and drawing dep,orable picture of the
condition of the country until his voice gave out
Ii should be said the credit OF the Cincinnatans
that the audience, which numbered lees than n |
hundred took the whole affair huge joke !
The proceedings were ittingly wound up by . !
drunken man who scrambled upon the stage and |
after tearing off his coat and collar began maud |
lin TRADE against Sam Cary. He hustled out, |
but returned and 10 get rid Of him the other speak
ers had to bottle up their elOquence and adjourn the
meeting.
