New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1879-07-11
POLITICAL NOTES.

The Midsummer will be chiefly Tilden epoch.
No comment on the extra session yet from Black
burn the Wiper
PERHAPS Governor Robinson will decline re-
nomination, but he doesn't look IT.
With Ncw-York, Pennsylvania and the Solid
South all fixed, 1Ilden needn't worry about Hen
bricks
Hendricks has stirred up a big rumpus simply to
prevent himself from being again Fice-Prcslden'
tial candidate.
If the Democrats wish to have n conclusive au-
syyer made TO Mr. Sherman i'm Maine why don't they
send funny Mr. CoXi tie can do II.
ANY Republican who wishes to become more of q
stalwart can easily succeed by subscribing for
half-dozen leading Southern newspapers and read
ing them carefully
John G. Thompson is unable to say yet whether
he viii get much money from the Eastern Demo
Gratis for tie OHIO campaign. TIE TRIBUNE feels
able to say that he won't.
Secretary sherman is said to admit frankly in
conversation with his friends that he has PresIden-
traI aspirations. There is reason why he
shouldn't, as there is nothing dIsgraceful about
them.
Tider agents are almost as thick as grasshopper7
in the West and the stlll-Iunt IS making great
progress ia all the States except Indiana. The lat
ter is left 10 take It's own course, and queerly
enough that course is toward lhden.
Congressman Young, OF Ohio, places Fosters ma
ioriy as high 80 OOO and talks about 1t going Us
high rs 80 900. lie says Ewing will lose more hard
money Democratic votes than be will gain Green
hazel, votes and that the Germans Will vote soidly
against him. II isn't always safe 10 count ON too
many Democrats deserving the party.
II Ewing IS so certain Of success in Ohio why
doesu he resign his seat in Congress, according TO
pretedentl when General Hayes was the Repub-
Iiran candidate for Governor in 1867 he resigned
his Congressional seat immedis civ alter the nom
nation. aud IL Ewing had equal nope ne would 90
the same thing now. As II is, ne goes IuIO uAe can
yass conf, sslug defeat IN advance.
Mr.. Tildcn doesn't seem altogether unanimous in
his approval of the new issue" which his party
has attempted to raise. Simultaneous efforts TO
calyanlze the great Fraud issue are appearing in OBJ
scurc pewspqpcrs. which looks like an indication
tn1t the NucOmpOop Bureau IS once more OILED mp
for business, and that The business Is To be con-
Quoted on the old neyer-Wil-condOne-lt plan.
Light b, gins to fall upon the tactics of Randall
during the extra session. There is no doubt but
that he was acting the confidential friend OF I'll
den. and in helping forward all the extreme Bour-
bon measures he was merely carrying out Tilden's
scheme of giving the hOt-heads rope enough 30 hang
themselves with. The idea was to let them have
tbrir way this year and be defeated in the rail-
elections so that next year they would be willing
10 take back seat and let the more conservative
portion OF the party map out the Presidential cam
pagn.
Senator Butler, Of South Carolina, like all other
Southeruers, Is chuckng over the extra session be-
cause it has brought the attention of the country
TO the vital principles of our Government"
which have been kept in the background for
nearly twenty years and were in danger of being
lost SIGHT Of forever. There is not Southern
statesman who does not go back to the questions
winch were agtlted before the war TO find his
vital principles" for use to-day. The whole
South ~ eated because the extra session has
brought these principles TO the front again, and
nothing Will quiet its caperlng save u crushing de-
feat i'm 1850
