POLITICAL NOTES.


Atkins is very ferocious bnt so was Beck.
Congress won't adjourn to-day. The Dacklowns
not in.
There are strong symptoms that Tilden has tapped
the barrel anew.
What has become of the fiery Chalmcrsf Gone to
meet his premature rebellonf
Atkins is right about hs partys being in the last
ditch. 1t must crawl out or sink.
Infantile marasmus was what allied the McClel-
Ian movement. 1t died very young
If the Democracy decides TO kick ont Bayard and
Herman IL will eliminate most Of It's respcctablity.
The banner of Tilden and Reform is about to be
unfured again. Reform will be represented by
figure OF Moses astrlde the Ark.
Mr. Watterson again shows symptoms Of being
superheated He ought TO enlist that 100 900 men
To squirt lce-water on him.
The Democratic case is growing critical and
Moses is now liable to step boldly out OF the Ark
any pleasant night and ring a fre-bell some.

capture the party.
It's remarked with great complacency by the
TIlden tooters that the cipher exposures have died
away and left him unnured. Nobody will dispute
this-til after his denomination

Of the Ohio ldea are too intelligent TO be led astray
by soft-moDey sophstries General living Will dis

Tho Democrats in Congress keep walking no and
down like a rooster in coop looking for largo
hole to crawl ont Of but every day it grows more
apparent that the little end of the horn, labelled
" Exit in case Of danger" Is their only escape.
There is another out-gush of Last Ditch talk
among the veto-stricken. This is always a dis
couraging symptom when the patient is troubled
with Democracy in its advanced stages. IL means
collapse.
General Ewing skips merrily Eastward to tap
those bloated bondholders against whom he bas

Liberal rewards are offered in various Republican
journals for the production Of man who has Pc
rused the whole Of Proctor KNOTS manifesto, and
Is willing TO wear that he has. No has claimed
the rewards yet The trouble IS that the wOuld-be
reader has to 90 to the expense OF airing a strong
man to keep him awake.
Hendricks is splitting mad at TilGen, Bayard is
sulky mad at the caucus, Thurman is snyelhng mad
at everybody. Great men don't get mad. 1ilden

week or moro has passed since Jefferson Davis
declared that he had never seen a Southern woman
who wasreconStructed and who was not bringing
up her children to love the Lost Cause, yet not
single protest has come to hand from the Southern
women claiming that hc has misreprcseuiel them.
Ii he spoke the truth, If the Southern women are
doing what he said, the future Is dark ana gloomy
one for the South.
good specimen of the Democratic propensity 20
stick to the party at al hazards comes from New
Orleans. The Democratic organs there have been
protesting with much yehemence against the pro-
posed reputation plans and have declared that If
those plans prevail the party will be ruined. This
was apparently az manly a course rs II was sem
slble. Yet when the rural journals Of the state
charged these organs with trying 10 break mp inc
party and start new one, they made haste 10 deny
any such Intention ana 70 say IN the actuai iii-
ton we are for the Democratic party" That Is the
true spirit Of the modern Democracy.
Senator Bayard talks like a man, and not like a
Democrat, about the attempt to budoze HIM into
submission to the Warner bill. According to the
Washington correspondent Of The Philadelphia be

There is good deal of unhappiness in Maine con-
corning the work of the recent Greenback COnyen-
ton. The original Greenback organ of the State
declares that its party was sold out TO the Demo-
Gratis by lot of ring uicksteTs and says the plat

In the Democratic camp there is also disorder. One
of the oldest journals in the party has turned ITS
back upon it, declaring that the Democratic party
i'm Maine has virtually disha0ded and that IFS mem
hers are free To go where they please. There may
be much or little outcome from this tumuli. Inc

Democrat has to be pretty mad TO desert ms patty.
In the end the Democrats and Greenbackcrs arc
