POLITICAL NOTES.


Awful thought: Perhaps Springer will rebel all
by himself
Slow music and low lights while the Democratic
party lifts out its foot
The Last Ditchers viii rave for day or two, but
they viii back out like the rest.
Randall lifts his voice for more fight The whole
Republican party hopes be VIII be gratlhed.
The Democratic editors outside of Washington are
pleading for a speedy b9ckdown. They are nearer
to the people than Congress Is.
No sooner do the Democrats get the issue in just the
shape they want il than the President puts head
on il of totally different complexion.
1t will be long time before this country produces
another party so pbenomenally brilliant that it will
force an extra session OF Congress simply to back
down
What has become of the Bourbon howl about
troops at the posl The Democrats have muzzled
it by generously giving the President chance TO
say that he Is opposed to such use OF the Army
General Buffers clear intention Of running for
Governor Of Massachusetts, again leaves the hand
ful of eminent respectlbes in the Democratic party
there no hope OF safety save by huddllhB up III Il
safe deposit vault.
Secretary Sherman will speak in Maine duringthe
coming canvass and efforts will doubtless be made
to have him speak in Boston as he passes through
that CITY. Iils plan talks on financial questions
are always great help to the Republican party.
It's tho solemn opinion of the harassed Demo
cratic editor that the President is obstFucting the
will OF the people, and that the Republican party
will suffer for it. Election day win take the wind
out of talk like this Every Of the four vetoes
has made thousands Of Republican votes, ana no
body realizes that fact more profoundly than the
Democratic editor.
Congress will remain in session long enough to
have the backdown officially recorded, and then the
members Will go home to the fervid embrace OF
their constituents. That chrome for the Democrat
who will swear he is proud of the record OF his
party and takes genuine pleasure in training in II,
is still unclaimed OF course II is not offered To
members of Congress, for Springer would cla'm IL
quicker than a wink. Springer IS even proud Of
himself.
Ii is given out that Tilden has serious notion OF
running himself for Governor of New-lOrk this
Fall and that he is willing 10 have the second place
filed by the Hon. Clarkson n. Potter. The origin
Of the story is not clear, but that Is hardly an evil
dence OF unauthenticity, for all the reports which
are started about Tilden and his plans come from
no visible source. Dir. Potter IS NOT llkely 20 pe
enchanted with his share IN the dlylsoD, nor IS ne
AT all likely 10 accept it, He knows better than 10
risk his political future in so dubious contest as
the next one will be Tor ms party IN TINS state.
Several weeks have gone by since Jefferson Davis
made his charge that the unreconstructed Southern
women were bringing up intIi Chiiuich " Nthni
cate the principles failed to establish" yet
there has been no Southern protest that he spoke
an untruth. The only objection which has been
made to the remark is that it will be likely to hurt
Mississippi by aggravating Northern suspicion Of
her. On the other hand, the remark has received
hearty approval from nearly all the Southern cor
respondents and from many Southern journals. The
"Okolona IDIOT has poured out a column OF wild
rhapsody about it, and are assured that next to
Davis the greatest heroes at the meeting where
Davis spoke were the " IDIOT and his partner.
At last an end of Glover A fellow Democrat has
pronounced him insane on the floor of the House,
and has accused him of trying to force Congress
into printing his ntermnabie report by threatening
to expose the Democratic party. The threat carried
no alarm, probably because the party thought
Gover's fishing exploits had done it all the damage
he was capable of. That would be a wise con-
cusion for nothing could do the party more injury
than tho publication of that wonderful record,
wherein Glover fished and ished with all manner
of bait, and ALWAYS with the same result-a Demo
crat That report, illustrated with "a portrait of
Glover aud realistic sketches of his victims the
moment OF being impaled on his hooks, would sell
like the hottest Of hot cakes, and would make Re-
publican votes as fast the Presidents yetOes.
There is money in it, Glover Publish it that way
Yourself.
