POLITICAL NOTES.


Has anybody stopped Hardy Solomon, or is he
still ag0ingf
1t should be remarked parenthetically, that Re-
sumption has not failed YET
For sale cheap, an Investment in an extra session.
Apply TO the Democratic party.
Perhaps Moses Will hurl back diatribe or two
when be gets the nncompoop mill started.
The Solid South is bothered to decide whether to
strike now or wait till 1880. Its a forlorn hope.
either way.
Nothing has been heard from Springer since ad-
journment He is probably living with his chin In
sling taking liquid food only.
General Butler won't be in the next Congress, but
he Will be in Massachusetts setting mp the pins for
another rafting raid on the Governorship.
The Democratic editor is wrenching his imagina-
tion for the contents of those destroyed Republican
teegrams He has made startling developments
enough already for pamphlet
Secretary Evarts is credited with the sound OBJ
servatiOn that the duty of all Republicans now is
the unlfication of the party. The beauty of it is
that every man in the party has reached the same
conclusion.
II pleases the assistant Democratic editors to be-
wall that the " Republican organs have gone
back to the old issues for the next campaign The
whole Republican party has been driven back TO
those issues by the JET Davis State rights attitude
of the Democratic party, and the dreadful organs
are merely expressing the party VIII.
While the soft-money Democratic editors are
careful not to out openly against Tilden they
miss no opportunity to hit him rap on the sly. At
present they advocate a compromise between the
Democrats and Nationals IN favor of a Greenback-
Democrat for Speaker. OF course this would defeat
Randall and cripple Tlden, and If McMahon were
elected Speaker by the combination, as he probably
would be, Thurman would be considerably
strengthened.
1t is noticeable that since Ex-Governor Seymour
has announced that he is not a candidate for any
political Office, he has been much more freely men
toned by his party's journals for the Presidency
The anti-Tlldemtes enjoy this use OF his name
greatly for so long rs there IS no danger OF MS TAX
ing the thing IN earnest, 10 affords them harmless
way in which to show their dislike of Illden. lhey
dare not attempt such liberties with the name OF
Chief-Justcc Church, for he would lake the Joke III
earnest and write letter OF acceptance at once
The new Tiden organ in Chicago is not intended
for a long life. Its main object will be to secure the
denomination of Mr.. 1ilden, and, after that is ac-
complished, to die peacefully, leaving the work OF
reelection in older hands I bis seems to be an un-
necessary drain upon the barrel The securing OF
denomination will be easy enough, and If 1t were
not easy it is difficult to see how Chicago as
tributOr Of pabulum is going TO help any: Ihe tug
Will come with the rejection ana that IL When al
ever the inteutOn is to rely, of DID, upon strictly
moral forces and TO employ more discreet agents
than Moses, PeltOn aud Weed.
The town elections which were held in Maine on
Monday told the story OF disaster to the OTeen-
back party that previous ones have told. Bangor,
which was carried by the Greenbackers last year,
was carried by the Republicans by handsome ma
joriues. Augusta was unable to elect mayor, but
the Republicans routed the Greenbackers from the
City Council and regained control themselves.
Fatal defeat met the Green0acters in neIghborlng
towns. and many other important localities were re-
stored to Republican rule. There can be no further
doubt that Maine is restored to its old place III the
column of sure Republican States. The able political
prophets who foresaw senator Blaines political rum,
because he could no longer control his own state,
will be obliged to revise their predictions without
doubt the gratifying victory In Bangor IS largely
due 60 the able and persistent efforts OF me HhD
and Courier that city To reveal IN all their Deauty
the peculiar qualities of statesmansllp which the
Greenback- Democratic administration OF the state
ilui local go yernmouts have exhibited.
