POLITICAL NOTES.

BH~ How would Tilden and Shere Ali
do for a ticketP The latter runs WE'LL

BB~ Before we support any man for
United States Senator, we intend to
know whether he belongs to the people
he desires TO represent, or the Northern

Ba- Texas has a $500, 900 deficit this
year, which is natural, because the State
| ''enjoys" a Democratic Administration.
| 1t is proposed to make it up by selling
off the school lands, which is also very
natural, because the Democracy hate
the public-school system Washington
| Republican.
BErSome of the New York bellies
would have sent bachelor Tilden valen-
tines, but they didn't know how to get
the letter-carrier to carry them any fur
ther than to the door of No. Is Gra-
| mercy Park. And, of course, if they
had been left that way he would never
have seen them or heard word about
them. He never sees letter that is
sent to his house. At least, hardly
ever.-Boston TraUeIJer.
Ba% Mr.. Watterson says that "the
negro of the South is placable and kind
| ly--the fortunate possessor of sweet,
loving and generous nature" This
being the fact, will not Mr.. Watterson
furnish companion pen-picture of the
white race of the South, who torture
and kill these sweet, loving and gener-
Gus people because they choose to vote
a different ticketP-St. Paul Pioneer
Press.
BS~ Whenever Red-shirt Demo-
cratic bulldozer is convicted in the
United States Courts of stuffing the
ballot box or making fraudulent elec-
ton returns, the whole Democratic
pack raises a cry of encroachmeEt on
the rights of the people by the Federal
judiciary" 1t is new exemplihca-
ton of the truth of the old proverb:
No Red-Shirt feels the halter draw
With good opinion of the law.
-Greeasborough North State.
BaS~ All Hills fine promises are no
protection against the deluge that will
come if the Democracy gain supreme
power, and Hill himself would be
among those who would vote to pay
the claims, Just as Wade Hampton after
all his pledges became the leader of
the red-shirt brigades in South Caro-
States Senate through his perfidy. 1t
would be the height of folly to trust the
words of men who have again and
again periured themselves. Our safety
as people depends upon keeping the
helm in the hands of men who have
ever been true to the National Govern
ment-AuguStG me. J Journal.
Ray- MIR. Ben. Butler has been once
more making a show of his quality by
I expressing the opinion that the time
may come for pensioning the soldiers
who bore arms against the Union. We
have been usually gratified by the Cen
erals efforts as a demagogue. 1t is
very desirable that all the people
should know him through and through,
as he is known to persons of some little
insight, and he has seldom uttered a
sentence better adapted to make all the
people acquainted with his true char
acter Explanatory comment, invect-
i've, or remonstrance would be equally
out of place. His last sentence is self
luminous and will be universally un-
derstood. = PittSbIrg Commercial Ga

RS~Senator Thurman lifted his voice
in the Democratic Congressional eau
Gus, the other evening, and shouted for
ian aggressive Democratic policy"
, 1t has always seemed to US that shoot
ing Republicans, hunting them with
shot-guns out of their houses into the
swamps at night, breaking up Repub-
lican meetings by shooting at the
speakers, or compelling them, at the
muzzle of the revolver, to divide time,
and stuffing ballot-boXes with Demo-
cratic tissue-pape ballots is sufficient
ly aggressive - Democratic policy.
But perhaps Senator Thurman means
some other kind of aggressiveness,"
such, for instance, as the boldness of
the Michigan Democrats who are not
afraid to Jump right down the throat
of the National" party.-DetrOtt

: ba5% Mr.. Aiken sums up the Demo
! cratic attitude and issue in a single sem
! tence He honestly believed, y says
the report of his speech in the House,
+ "that the Treasury was safer in the
, hands of men who defended the Con-
federacy than in tie hands of those
who held it to-day This is frank,
direct and undisguised. 1t is a blunt
way of putting the matter, but it has
the merit of being outspoken, and OF
presenting the issue just as it is. The
, real question before the country is,
; whether the Treasury and all other in
terests of Government shall be placed
in the hands of those who defended
the Confederacy." That is what the
Democratic party asks the country to
say. Mr.. Aiken has simply put in plain
terms what his associates present in
less direct and suggestive form. But
are the people of the North ready to
say that the Government would be safer
in the hands of those who " defended
the ConfederacyP P"-ALbdHY journal.
nag The Dubuque Herald is quite
sure that all the Republican jibes con-
cerning "Tilden's bar'l" have been
. proven pointless, because the National
} Democratic Committee submitted to
the Potter Committee a statement TO
: the effect that their total expenditures
[ for the campaign of 1876 were only
, Sl5, ,S4Ol But the Herald presumes too
{ much on the ignorance of its readers.
Who that has grain of intelligent in
A formation as to the work done by that
: Democratic Committee can believe such
{ warn. Even the single item of DEM
J ocratic editorials furnished to party
organs in every State by Tilden's Lite
) rary Bureau, must have cost the Com
} mittee much more than the amount
1 stated. Then, who furnished the money
| for the oratorical canvasses in Indiana,
I Ohio, Connecticut and New York;
l Who the sums distributed to certain
{ Congressional districts to aid weak
: eandidatesP Who the cash TO pay for
9 all the Tildenite campaign-documents
; with which the country was noodedF
Q Really, there is no use in attempting 10
{ fiatten down that "bar'l" so very thin.
