POLITICAL NOTES.
j. T'ilden.

What did Tilden and Ewing talk aboutf The
cropsi
Dorshemer, by unanimous consent, is now classed
as "bygone."
Ewing is in imminent danger Of denying too
much and too unanimously.
Every succeeding Republican convention reveals
anew the booming condition of the Republican
party.
The Republican battle-cry from all quarters rings
ont clear and strong: Down with State Rights!
On with ResumptonP
One shot from Sherman completely demolishes
the refuge of lies in which the Democrats and
Greenbackers had lntrenched themselves
Secretary Sherman has pitched the tune for the
Republican march of triumph this Fall, and the
whole party is eager to join IN the chorus.
Jefferson Davis may be successful in leading
captive silly women, but he can't capture whole
families. Mrs. Dorsey's brother will contest that
Will.
The bulldozcr continues TO get In his work Of
butcherng negroes in Mississippi and Mississippi
justice is so blind and dumb that even Democratic
newspapers protest
Ask the first Republican you meet what he thinks
about the issue this FALL and see il he doesn't reply
that the South ought to be shown that the war
settled it's State Rights doctrine forever.
An excited Democratic editor " respectfully re-
quests The TRIBUNE not to force the denomination
of Mr. Tiden on the Democratic party" Tilden is
dong the forcing, neghbOr. The TRIBUNE is merely
enjoying the fun.
The Indians on Our Northwestern border are once
more whetting up their scalpingknves. This
would seem to be an auspicious time for enterDris-
ing Democratic politicians TO timber up their chins
for fresh howl against the Army.
Mr.. Sherman put an abrupt end to that ridiculous
story that ane was jealous Of his going to Maine
by announcing in the opening sentence of his
speech that he was there in accordance with
Baine,s personal invitation Both men are patriotic
enough to thi k of their duty to the country first
and of their own personal ambition second.
The Pennsylvania Republicans do themselves
credit by steadily advancing the Hon. Gausha A.
Grow to the position of leader. His bold stand
for honest money last year, when many members
Of his party wavering has had great deal 70
do with his advancement. He placed the party on
the right road then, and its strength and assurance
of victory to-day due mainly to his sagaclous
leadership at that time.
There are fears that the outlook for Ewing be-
comes more dismal an epidemic of indlsposition will
aflict the Ohio Democratic brethren. Some Of them
are already attacked with sore threats which will
keep them off the stump. and Others, like Milton
Sayler in former contest are liable to be troubled
with sore thumbs which Will keep them from the
dangerous eXcitemens of the campaign. There is
n disposition to let Ewing have the funeral all to
himself
Poor Ewing is in a tight place, whether he has
really tanned the barrel or not The TumOr of his
alliance with Tilden VIII still further enrage the
Grepnbackers, who will be eager to believe 1t. 1t
will excite the expectations of the Democrats, who
are ALWAYS hungry for money If no money is forth
coming the party will sink at once into despond
ency. and disastrous defeat will be more certain
than ever. As for Ewing personally, there VIII be
abundant popular sympathy for him as the man
who had Tllden whispering in his ear from ii at
night till > IN the morning aud didn't get q cent
for 1t.
Senator Beck has taken the stump in Ken
lucky and sounded what his admirers called
both a "keynote" and n tocsn." The
larger part of it is devoted to defence of
Beck's memorable never-back-down speech in the
Senate and the rest of 1t Is elaborate plea for
State Rights the gravest of issues before the
country Beck charges at the outset that the North
succeeded in goading the South into rebellion,
secession, call it what you WILL" and proceeds
throughout in the strain which this indicates, that
the course of the North has been one of continued
persecution of the South for years. OF his famous
speech he saws he has neither retracted it apollo
gized for il that If he hadn't threatened to stop
fine Government the party would have made nothing
by the extra session that 10 Is, they accomplished
not all that he desired, but more than he expected
and that best OF all they developed the plans and
purposes OF the Republicans. so you did, Dir. Beck.
Those purposes and plans are 10 keep you and
your marty from winning the State Rights issue,
and the people so understand 1t.
