POLITICAL NOTES.

Fernando Wood sn't mad. He's only tired
Does the Democratic head crave further punch
ingi
Woods fight leaves his party without a tail
holder. Give EN- room!
With Randall in the chair and Springer as leader
Of the House, blunders will multiply.
Tilden ought to interfere with Congress pretty
soon or his mortgage on the party viii be worth
less
Atkins is right. The party has already had sew
eral more doses Of caucus than its stomach could
stand.

Southern Democrat was startled by CLEAN Of
sense the other day into saying that he believed the
Republicans were really eager for the Democrats to

"What the Southern Democrats want IS the Com
sttution as it was before the war; and the Union az
it was during the war" So The Paiadepiid Press

is too modest 10 deny II.
Since the melancholy falling ont between ST.
Peter and St. Paul, the most melancholy I'M
pleasantness on record is that between those loving

q noyyder- keg INTO the presence of Hendricks and
challenge that statesman to sit on it with him and
toucb lighted match to it. But the intrepid jour;
nalist has already been seen carefully 10 empty AL

The Democrats complain that the Ohio platform
revlyes tho issues Of the rebellion and calls Tor the
fighting of the war over again. Well. suppose It
does who made the second battle necessary The
Republican party is merely stepping Ioi"aiu u ue
fend what il has always defended.
The confession is at last made that the Demo-
Graf, dare not call a caucus lest it get away from
them and merge into family row. This has been
evident for some time. lt is delicious piece oi n-
pudence for party which cannot govern ltsen u
ask 90 govern tho country

Some time ago q chrome was offered to the Nor'n-
ern Democrat who had ever been forced to Vo'o

Thurman ought TO be gratiied by the unan'iuly
of his fellow-ctizens in Ohio upon the question ~
his candidacy for Governor The larger part OF 'no
Democratic party wishes TO have him run, anu quo
Rspubllcans are solid in his favor Uncle l,lch an
his sons are against him. because they THINK 9TH" tbe
