POLLIICfL NOTES.

Kelly viii give the barrel lively racket.
Psrhap. Tlldcn's object is to show tnat he has
backbone.
Look ont for another surreptiiious sale u Be
yat"d Railway stOo \, Mr. FIELD
IfGovcrnor Rohin.on should weaken and back
ont how IanmApy wDGld howl!
The veal.-kncrd Tammanyites arc making bat,
to huddlo up uud.r Tia shado" Of the D-rieL
Robinson can't charge Kelly m fighting for
ne-hpots tals time. lie is likely & sina some,
though.
The Chsolm trial las ended as everybody ex-
pcciel, in n yerd 1T that political murder Is no
crime IN Mississippi.
1t remains to De seen what tie hon. 6. S. Cox
VIII do with his powerful allegiance he VIII prob
ably hang il mp % air Til the 'aHpni1n l. over.
Senator Herman is lost in wonder that conyen-
ton which could sleep so peacefully under his dose
Of harmony oould develop much Obstinacy i.A,lc-
dately oh waking.
General Butler will b. likely.to chuckle inwarily
q good many times over the gfotesquc spectacle u
Wendell Phillips playing second-iddie 20 lin ON 4
State ticket. The joy Of Mr. Phillips, however VIII
not be b0uElles'.
There IS no longer a shadow of prospect for my
punishment of the murderer of Dixon. The verdict
in the Chsolm case has settled that. The shotgun
de,poti.n more powerful taan ever for justice Is
both bound and gagged.
There il talking In Connecticut about Senator
Eaton rs the Democratic candidate for President
next year. If Tildcn loses thi, State in November
there are sanguinc souls m Conn ct,cut who think
Eaton will lOom. Hardly; EltOn has p!chty Ol
bounce but no barrel.
Alexander stephens saws there has been 50 much
corruption IN Off .c and so much misnanogcment OF
State affairs in Georgia hat The Independent party
has become very strong. and he expects to see it
carry fhr Srate this Fall. The party he's grown
80 fast that The shOtgu policy Is impHcicabl"
evidently, fur the shooting back would be too lively
to be pleasant.
Strolling Democratic statesmen are appearing in
Washington very much in the dnmps.' They say
the elections in Maine and California dscour-
aging enough without the split in NewYork. The
latter has already done a great deal Of harm by
creating popular belief that the Republicans are
certain to win next year, and thousands of voters
have already changed 10 what ~ sure 10 be the
winning side. This is correct diagnosis of the case,
brethren.
General Ewing continues to buster In public and
to give M the battlo with bitter compainlngs IN
private lie declares TO a sympathetic reporter of
The Cincinnati LHQHirT that everything points TO
Democratic success, that the Democratic meetings
are splendid and that there is no detection any
where lie and Thurman arc in perfect harmony,
he adds In private, lie is said to be dcspondent
that he meditatcs writing letter. complaining that
hc * receiving he support heis enIi led 10 from
the Democratic leaders, and asking to be replaced
by some candidate who can unite the party.
There are three methods for the Democrats to get
John Kelly out of the way. The first is to bully
HIM. This has been tired. but with most discour-
aging results. 1t is still in operation, and is likely
to continue for n short time longer. When its hope
cssness is discovered. there will be reaction and
the whole party will unite in offering of tatiy.
Mr. Kelly il too hard-headcd to be fooled by this
cheap device. and can I've depended upon 10 under
stand and reject IT, When these plans have failed,
there will remain only one other and that VIII be
the Yazoo. II Mr. Kelly lived i'll Mississippi lie could
be shot in the back and the sOldity of the party
would be restored in a twinklng.
