POLITICAL NOTES.

Has Governor Stone Of Mississippi crawled into a
hole and pulled the hole in after him
Saws the hungry Democrat; "AIr Tilden's
voice may be low, but his barrel is full"
They have been voting for the Maine Repubcan
ticket for several days past down In Mississippi
Just think what CONSERVATION rafting victory
IN Name will create in the ranks Of the buildozers!
Perhaps Senator Lamar thinks his silence will
serve as poultice to heal the blows of the bull
dozer.
How much Copenhagen would yOu give Mr.. Til
den to have had Mississippi fenced IN for the last
month I
The Democratic editors are still talking abont the
" Casanave exposure They Will get to the Iazoo
affair by the Gay after election.
Moderate men all over the country waiting to
hear what the Maine voters think OF the Yazoo as
sassinatiOn. They won't have to wait long.
Dixon's murderer was admitted to bail without an
examination. OF course he can't lie mndered in his
canvass for office by any such tribes as tue Law
After Mr.. Tilden had read the news from Maine
in The TRBUNE yesterday morning he whispered
to his nearest lieutenant: "More-mOral forces
Maine"
Another paper, The 81. louis Post-Dispatch, has
lust discovered that the Democratic party play
ing the role of Sndbad the Sailor to Old Man of tho
Sea Tilden.
A few more candidates in Yazoo County have de-
termined TO fool around an Independent ticket.
They had better sit on Of nitro-glycerine with
the fuse lighted.
All candidates for places on the Saratoga ticket
should bear in mind that there must be united
and enthusiastic support of the Republican stand
ard bearer this Fall.
Senator Thurman does not intend that Mr.. Tiden
shall play "A march on him he takes pains to
have il understood that be Is heartily in favor Of
Ewing and will begin to make speeches In his Ia
vor in a few days. Everybody knows that the SEN
atOr can nut his foot IN il most beautifully, but ne
need not advertise the fact quite so widely or SO
CfJen.
Secretary Fowler, of the Farmers Alliance, tells
The Rochester Union that if Governor Robinson is
nominated he will not receive the support of the
members of that organization. They approve his
yetOes generally but in that respect they think he
has done nothing more than his duty. On the other
hand. the fact that he was once the counsel for
railroad corporation, and Is still the member OF
powerful insurance corporation, cuts INN on from
all favor from the farmers Air. Fowler and his or
ganiZaiOn evidently do not take much STOCK In
Gramercy Park politics.
Judge Taft is evidently not sOured bit by his
failure to get the nomination for Governor Of Ohio.
He has entered heartily into the canvass and shares
in the enthusiasm which peryades the Republican
ranks. While in Cleveland he was questioned as to
the situation in Hamilton County, the pivotal point
I'm the State. he gave ii his opinion that the
county would give a majority for the Republican
State ticket and that all the candidates OF the same
party for the Legislature would have votes to spare
Judge Taft Is too cool an observer not TO Know what
he is talking about.
A Democratic editor out in Utica owns q micro
scope of the pattern graphically described by
Sam Weller and he has brought it to bear upon the
prospect Of his party IN Ohio. He had hardly got
his eye to it when the Democratic voters began TO
cover the State like Egyptian locusts, and under
the inspiration Of the moment he sat down and
wrote a glowing editorial describing the unity and
enthusiasm of the Democrats and the divisions of
the Republicans and reasoning therefrOm that the
former would carry the State. And then he clinched
his arguments by saying: " If the Democrats
don't carry Ohio they will be well off they are
now" That editor deserves present OF the pair of
chromOs Pluck, Nos. l and 2"
That astute political observer, Senator Chandler,
gives it as his opinion that the Republicans will
carry Maine the popular vote if proper attention
is given to the back districts. The Senator's ex-
parience with the Greenback element in Michigan
gives his statement more than ordinary weight.
He says the country places are the chief stronghods
of the Greenbackers and it Is there that they must
be met and their positions asSailed. To use the
Senator's own words You must smoke these
people out of their hoes In his tour of the State
he has found the people more anxious 10 hear about
the Southern question than any other. The Senator
expresses great admiration for the earnestness and
enthusiasm of the Maine Republicans, and the re-
ceptiou gwen him wherever he has spoken.
