POLITICAL NOTES.


IPsa bad dilemma, whichever horn you take Mr.
Tilden.
After all. the ticket may be Tilden and Jefferson
Davis yet
Senator Hill, of Georgia, has got control Of his
month. That's one of the greatest feats since the
days of Samson.
The effort to make sensation out Of the Casa
nave exposureD proves more dismal than the late
three-days' storm.
Giveup Robinson and submit to Kelly, or cling
10 Robinson and risk defeat. That is the choice
GrameTcy Park must make.
"What, another Louisiana mares nest y exclalms
the disguised Democrat. "Will our party never
stop fooiing with such boomerangsT
II isn't every Presidential candidate who give
the people the opportunity Of saying year in adj
vance whether they want him or not. as Mr.. 1llden
is doing.
Jefferson Davis's boom for the United States SEN
atorship from Mississippi doesn't appear quite so
amusing to the Democratic journals as 1t did short
time ago.
As The TRIBUNE predicted the other day, Cap
tam II. NJ. Dixon, the Mississippi bulldozer' has
had another dose Of his own medicine. And II
proved fatal
Mr.. Tildeu sits medltatiyely most Of the time
with a slate and pencil in hand trying to draw the
picture of his candidate for Governor Don't let
anybody Ioggle bis elbow.
If Governor Robinson should be made the victim
of harmony he might flop back into the Republican
marty again. He has made so many Hops during
his political life that another one "ould not DC sur
prls1ug.
Ewing is getting desperate over his gloomy pros
pect. and INDUCES in the widest sort of talk. lie
brings up the old Dugbear of the cOgntrys being IN
danger of a monarchy and parades 10 with oil due
solemnity His defeat is certain, and rant ike TINS
cannot avert IT,
There was danger of drought In Maine, and the
Greenbackers looking forward to the prospect
Of the mills stopping as big gun in their favor
Rut the thlec-days storm came along and filled the
creeks and dams and spoiled many doleful argu-
ment Ii does seem as IT Providence was nghtlng
against the Greenbdckers.
Sam Cary is making a still-hunt around Ohio in
favor OF Ewing. His plan rs to meet by arrange
ment a few of the prominent members OF the Ma
tioual party, and in a private conversation WIN
them over to the support of the Democratic ticket
Has Cary rot the handling or lllden5 cOntIlOu-
tiOn TO the ONO canvass
The Casanave exposure is a choice tid-bt to
the hungry Democratic editor He has now some
thing to wrlte about and the column editorials are
appearing with mechanical regularity. Papers
which have never uttered word about the Misss-
sipDl bulldoZing are deyOtng half their space 10
thus musty story. They foOling themselves,
however, and no one else
The Southern Democratic journals have put their
Northern contemporaries to shame. Not a word de-
nouncng the Yazoo affair has appeared in a North
ern Democratic journal. But the Southern papers
of that political stripe seeing how sure it 10 TO hurt
their party in the North, have been begging the
party in Mississippi to keep quiet and not furnish
their opponents with ammunition. Their frantic
appeals were IN vain. A Southern bulldozer pre-
fers the present pleasure of shooting an independ
ent voter the distant prospect of seeing his party
in complete possessions of the National Govern
ment.
Mr. Tilden must be more liberal with that barrel.
And ii is high time also that that literary bureau
was in full blast. The vigorous kicks he is getting
from some Southern papers show that he has with
drawn his attention from that quarter long enough.
The Charleston NeCs and Courier strikes ont from the
shoulder, and its language sounds refreshing beside
the tame, submissive tone of the Northern Demo
cratic press. When Southern Democratic paper
calls Mr.. Tilden political manipulation" and
saws that his name " has become associated in the
Southern mind with, trickery, cowardice and
disas or" there ought to be no delay in tapping
another barrel. 1t looks now though it might
cost Mr. Tilden more than he had calculated upon
to get that nomination.
