POLITICAL NOTES.


1t will take more powder than that, IaInmany, u
YezOo' Governor Robinson.
Come home, Moses. The rebellion against 1llden
is rapidly spreading in tho south
Mr. Kolly gets right up his toes and shrieks
that he will never cOndOne Robinson.
Here's richness! Tammany claims that tho Demo
cratic party created and has upheld the educational
system of this state.
The energy with which the Democratic editors arc
fighting sherman in Ohio shows how much they
would fear him as PRESIDENTIAL cahuldate'
The Democrats will have to organize a astiIl-hunt
for an official envelope containing one OF Sherman
speeches.
Congressman Morrison takes pains again TO say
that be believes IN the Fraud Ssue, but not III tue
Great Defraudcd. That is like trying TO play
Hamlet" with the melancholy Dane lett out
Ga,usba A. Grow opened the Pennsylvania can
yass Tuesday evening with a speech at Somerset.
He dwelt upon all the great questions now before
the peOple-nameIy, finance, National sovereignty
and states rights. As starter Tor political
contest Mr. Chow has proved himself 4 success.
Tney don't like TIlden down South and have the
frankness TO say 80. But they will vote for HIM all
the same when be gets the nomination noxt year.
They would Ike very much to repudiate his mort
gage on the party, but lllden has had too much
perIence IN managing such matters TO allow himself
to be cheated.
There appears to be little doubt that Pillsbury
will be reDOminated for Governor of Minnesota. a
majority OF the delegates to the State Convention
thus far elected is in his favor. and those 10 be
elected will, it is believed, add largely 70 his
strength. His administrations, Oh the whole, nave
been cIedltable ones.
Naturally Senator Beck, OF Kentucky, believes
that a Democratic defeat ID Ohio viii interfere with
the plans and prospects Of his party and bring sher
man to the front as Presidential candidate. There
is a good chance then, Senator. that your party :
plans viii have % be recast, ana the Secretary OF
the Treasury may as well consider himself as a
promising Presidential candidate.
The Republicans OF Orange County have put IN a
clalIn for place the ticket to be nominated at
Saratoga next week. They have named 1r. Francis
Marvin as a suitable candidate for the State Treas
urership, and one who would add strength to the
ticket. Orange County has never had representa-
tive on a Republican state ticket since the forma-
ton Of the party, and It's claim lOf recognition Is
worthy of consideration.
4 writer in The hOchester Union who signs himself
"a New-York Democrat" and is vouched for by the
editor "as one of the truest and staunchest
Democrats IN the Metropolis" makes an attempt to
Justify the threatened bolt OF Tammany III case
Robinson IS renominated. Ills impeachment OI the
Governor is pretty strong O1S, viewed IN party
light. Were lammany III a little better odOr with
the country Democracy, even Illdens moral
forces" would fan 10 awaken any enthusiasm 1oi
Robinson thro oughout the state
Next to the labors of the independent journals
that are trying to get Mr. TIlden TO withdraw from
the Presidential canvass, the funniest thing In
politics this year Is the effort of the Democratic
press to get General Butler to retire from the con-
test for Governor in Massachusetts,. The request
is made in way that Is childlike and bland, and
the assurance II given that it would "enthUse the
Democracy OF the Nation with delight" why,
bless your heart, Butler isn't IN the enthuslng busl
ness now. He wants office and he does not propose
10 let the bankrupt Democracy of massachusetts,
keep Inn out OF IL If he can help 1t.
John G. h0mpsOn and Chairman Mckinney have
got back to Ohio well supplied with campaign
funds Thompson has the bulk OF the money and
is to disbuIse it IN tho doubtful legislative dis
trcts, while Mckinney will his portion in try
ing 20 pull the State ticket out Of the slough into
which it has fallen. No denial is made of the story
that Tildon and his friends have come to the
relief OF the Ohio Democrats in their need,
and that lllden-Ewing coalition has been formed.
The Democratic leaders outside OF ONO have eyl-
DENLY become alarmed at the desperate condition
of ther party h tnat state and, tOreseeng the dis
astrOus effects OF defeat there upon the contest
next year, have come down handsomely. The
Republican papers warning the party to beware
of colonization III the close districts, and to keep
close watch upon the tactics OF their opponent.
