The Curtis malcOnteuts find no
friends anywhere, and they will not
amount to much under the wheels Of
the Republican car this year.
An interesting little item of infor-
nation comes from Maine, bearing
on the late campaign there. The
Greenback orators and the commit
tee-men made their headquarters az ,
a certain Greenback Democratic bo-
tel at the Capital, the proprietor Of
which was very lenient towards them.
While Republicans were expected to
promptly pay their bills, the green
hackers gave 'siat" promises to pav,
and the good landlord and ali Of
them we're so confident Of sfat"
success that they ran up pretty big
bills. Everybody who had the re-
mOtest connection with that Green
back campaign made it g point to
stop at that hotel. But It turned
out that the '.fat" people were
overwhelmed, and the GreeDbaez
committees are not hastv IN paving
debts Of that kind. So the board
bills Of the Greenback worthless.
from the Rev. De La Matyr down to
the smallest claqueur, are unpaid
still, and the landlord is probably
willing to scale that indebtedness
some IN order to get anything. This
incident Is a good illustration Of
''hatism, and viii serve to put 9th
srs on guard against running the
new concern ''On tick"
It is reported here that President
Hayes has offered the English Mis-
sion to Seo'y. Evarts. The subject
IS kept strictly private, but the re-
port is not improbable. Mr.. Evarts
would make a good representative
abroad, and it has been suspected
for some time that he aspired to soma
distinction Of that kind. He has
just returned from his speech-mak-
ing tour IN N. Y, where he was
grandly received, and spoke well for
rhe Republican party.
Speaking of N. Z, reminds me
chat our news from the campsign
there grows better and better, and
there are many here now who think
the Republican ticket will have a
clear majority over all factions. as
We did In Ohio. The same report
holds good with Massachusetts, and
Pennsylvania. The farther we get
along in the campaign the brighter
he prospect becomes. Senator
Blaine has recovered his voice, and
will speek in N. 7. and Mass, prob
IDLY: So will Senators Allison and
Chandler. In fact, all the great
Republican leaders are doing yeo-
man g service this year.
The Senatorial contest in Ohio is
narrowing down, as We view It here.
Secretary Sherman having an
nounced that he is not a candidate
for Senator, Gov. Foster sends simi-
lar word. The conspicuous names
about equally mentioned here for
Shermans successor, are Garfield
md Taft, either Of whom would be
very acceptable.
The overwhelming Democratic de-
feat in Ohio has effectually buried the
rag baby, as far as the Democrats
party is concerned. The fact is ap-
parent from the tone Of the organs
IF that party, especially those Of the
South. 1t has had the effect of
strengthening Senator Bayards pros
poets for the Democratic Presiden-
tisl nomination. Southern papers
which we're severely censuring Mr..
Bayard because Of his financial prin-
Giples, and even calling for his re-
6irement from the head of the Sen
ate Committee on Finance, now ad-
init that he was right, and call him
che best candidate for president.
Bayard and Palmer Governor Of
LlhnOis) have been nominated bya
North Carolina paper, and the Demo
cratic journals from that State to
Texas are joining IN the 'boom."
But AIr. Tilden is also prOfting by
the slaughter Of the ''Tag baby, as
represented by Thurman and Ewing.
There is an emphatic Republican
revival IN the South. It seems that
our friends there have taken cour-
age from the Republican victories in
the North, and the conse quent dis
cUuragement of the Democrats.
Louisiana, IN particular, sends Us
good reports, and the excellent Re
publican ticket viii poll a large vote,
and some Republicans are predicting
that we viii carry the Legislature,
and thus head off the plot to unseat
Senator Kellogg. The Republicans
of Maryland are also making "A good
fight, and In Florida they are pre-
pairing to go into the National cam
pnign with flying colors. LEO.
