POLITICAL NOTES.

IF the Indiana democracy vote as they fought
they will stay at home
IN HdrpG Thomas Mast depicts Hancock as the
democratic Trojan horse, into which are crawling
Tamm0ny thieves. exrebels, ku klux, and-Tilden
with his barrel. Another cartoon pictures him as
Gulliyer overrun by the same personages.
THE indianapolis Sentinel published biography
of its candidate, English and charged advertising
rates for it. 1t has not since taken occasion to
speak OF Mr.. English. The New Albany DEM
ocratic paper refuses to support Landers for gov-
ornor, and tells him he will cost the party 10000
votes.
COLONEL FRIEDLEY the chairman of the Indiana
state central committee says that in September,
1876 he had polled the state 50 thoroughly and ac-
eurately that when the election came tho vote
showed that he had made an error of less than
LEO. His estimate was that the democrats would
win by 7ioO. They did win by 300. II rs safe TO
say that this complete canvass VIII be repeated
with different results this fall.
THE workingmen Of indianapolis turned out in
immense numbers at the recent grand parade In
that city In hOnorot Hon. A. G.. Porter the republi-
can candidate for governor. Mr.. Porter, without
fec or reward, was counsel In their behalf couple
of years since, doing them signal service, and they

Mr., r. p. DIXON, brother Of Colonel II H. Dixon,
who was murdered by Bark sdale went TO Yazoo to
be present at the deah-bed Of the wife of the muir
dered man. The local newspaper warned him to
quit talking RepublCanism IN that region II was
not healthy And conservative, lGw.abiding neigh
bors ofthe DiXons told him that they did not in
tend thAts any votes should be cast for Garfield.
And yet there are mon who declare that this is a
free country.

policy Of Texas says; Several OF the speakers re-
forred to the foolish policy the democratic ad-
ministration Of the state which had built up ex-
penSlye prisons and permitted the school system to
decay and fall la pieces. Under the republican
administration Of Governor Davis schools -four
ished in Texas and public education was pro-
NOTED.
GENERAL WEAVER does not find his northern
campaign thunder Of much use IN Alabama
where he Is now speaking. The boys in gray are
very anxious to tax themselves To pay the boys in
blue the premiums on gold as proposed by tho
Weaver bill. The Montgomery Mail doesn't like
him as well as il does old Beast Butler who, II says
under the impulse Of some strange beneyo
lenee once declared his desire TO poor crippled
confederates pensioned, as well as oil the noble
wounded who wore the blue"
A GARFIELD and Arthur club has been organized
! in Marbehead, Mass, with very large and en-
thusiasdc membership Marbehead 1t win be 70
membered, is the very headquarters Of Massachu-
setts greenbackism having given Butler 0t the las
