POLITICAL NOTES.

What is the tally Of Democratic blunders to datoF
Thurman leads the party into blunder easier
than into II backdown.
Hendricks IS recruiting his health and resting his
tongue. a prudent person.
Another veto is full as likely TO start. tumble
down as "a backdOwn. The BOurJ0n5 are rickety.
The only objection to the reply to Proctor Knots
address is that it looks good deal like striking a
corpse.
Is Smith Weed admitted TO No. II Cipher Alley
and Pelton excludedl In shelterng both, charity
would merely be covering multitude Of sins.
Ewing is said to be trying to raise money among
New-York Democrats for his Ohio campaign. II
won't take han long 10 count all he gets.
Thurman has caused it to be recorded that when
the Democratic party attempts TO patch mp its own
shaky legislation the caucus viii step in and rip of
the patches
The panicky symptoms of the Democrats in Con-
gress multiply each day. A good lively row among
themselves is the only thing necessary to complete
their ruin and the Republican happiness.
The quetest man in the country, after Tilden, Is
Randall. 1t is possible that he realizes that his
record of bunders high enough, and It is also pos
sIble that lac Is joint partner III Illdens su-hunt
for 1880.
There is great astonishment in Indiana over the
announcement of Voorhees, that ne and Senator Me-
Donald had done a much for the soldiers a. any
two Senators i'm Washington. What Voorhees, meant
to say was Confederate " soldiers.
Senator Vest blundered into calling the present
august body of which he il member the COnfed-
crate Senate on Friday aud thea tried to get of
il BY SAYING that it would be better for the country
if il were ruled by C0nfederates. Mr. Vest will dis
cover on election day that ma Ority OF the Ameri-
can people don't agree with HIM.
1t is remarked by the untamed Confederates that
Conkling will confess his cowardice by declining to
challenge Lamar, and that the latter will carry Off
all the glory, since he did his full duty by "brand
ing Conkling." This the Southern view I'M
don btedly, but If Lamar to incline his for
a moment to catch tine Northern sentiment he would
discover that he Lad merely applied the brand TO
himself
If the Democrats devoted the calm of Sunday to
careful examination of che situation, they must have
discovered tnat any attempt to make party capital
by adiourniDg without passing the Judicial bill
would be a dreadful failure. The President has them
perfectly at his mercy. If they adjourn second
time after he has caed them back he can let them
stay away with perfect confidence that the people
viii take the IN hand on election day and put
in a verdict which VIII end notification tactics
forever.
Chairman Robinson of the Ohio Republican Com
mittee Is oyenoyed by the hearty cooperation which
all tho Republicans in Washington promise him.
Blaine has promised TO speak in all the larger cities
and towns; Chandler offers to speak anywhere he is
wanted, and Logan Frye, Burrows and others
equally willing to serve. Secretary Sherman viii
speak first at Steubenyie. and afterwards in Leb-
anon. Conkling VIII be asked to make at least
three speeches, aud is likely to consent. The
Daign Will open in earnest on September and VIII
be made of the liYeliest IN the history of the
State.
Mr. Watter5On has risen to make some sensible
and manly observations about his relations
to Mr. Iilden, aud his reasons for support
ing him for the Presidency. He denies In
q dgniied and convincing way that Mr..
Tilden ever lent him any money to pay for the new
Courer-Journal Building. lie did make Eastern
loans for the completing of the building but they
are all on record and any man can see them who
wishes to. He supported Tildon because the idea
of administrative reform which h. represented
made his nomination a fOregOne conclusion. lie
believes HIM infinitely stronger to-day than he was
four years ago. A Democratic victory in New
York would his nomination, and defeat
along the whole line, including New York, instead
of sweeping him out of existence would make him
cdusus necessitdfs. II he isn't the next candidate

Senator Bayard or Justice Field. Watterson would
prefer the old ticket again II Hendricks would act
