POLITICAL POINTS.

The New York Tribune remarks that
the Republican party is about to take
off its coat.
1t is generally conceded that Demo
cratic nomination in Alabama is equiv
alant to an election.

The acreage of tissue ballots in the
year. The latest accounts from the Ala
bama election give that state Demo
cratic majority of $4,000.
Judging from the cxtravagant manner
in which Bill English tafiies General
Hancock in his letter of acceptance, the
admiration for the head of the Demo
cratic ticket seems to be all centered in
its tail.
The ST Louis Globe Democrat says
| that Gen. Grant himself could hardly
have done better than Garfield did in
his tFiqmphal procession through New
York. This is another case of that sort
of ''sulking" which our faciie Demo
cratic contemporaries have so much Ia
say about.
While the Alabama plan of holding
elections may he open to the trilling OBJ
lection of not rejecting the popular sen
timent of the voting population, it is con

FACTS VS., FICTION.

Eds. NEWS: In glancing over the
Sentinel of this city, notice an article
entitled the "Humor of It," IN which the
writer speaks of John W. Forney, OF
Pennsylvania, being recent convert to-
Democracy The writer should know
that Forney has been of uncertain pol
itics for several years, and was read out
of the Republican party tor supporting
Greeley in 1872, and has not been identi-
fled with it since. In other words, the
gentleman named has returned To his
first political creed.
The same article speaks of Gen. A. l..
Pearson AS an acknowledged leader Of
his party in western Pennsylvania, who
has declared for Hancock The writer
happens To know something of Pearson's
influence in politics in Pennsylvania,
and can assure the Sentinel that Gen
Pearson never held such commanding
influence us 10 be an acknowledged lead
or of the Republican party in Allegheny
county, let alone the western part OF the
state. His bungling management OF
the troops during the great riot
of three years ago made him so I'M
popular that he had TO withdraw from
the state militia, and retire from active
part in public affairs OF a political char
acter. In this same paper l notice an
other article in which, with great flour
ish, it is said that Col. Henry A. Hays
well and favorably known citizen OF
Pittsburg, has changed his political
in the election of Hancock" / desire to
pronounce this an unmitigated false
hood out of whole cloth. We know
where this Democratic lie originated. 1t
came from the Pittsburg Post, n Demo
cratic sheet which has attained an un
enviablc reputation for lies, so much Sc
that no decent paper will credit what il
publishes, unless they have good reason
| To know of its truth. The editor of the
Post came very near being strung Ia n
lamp-post during the war for his tre;t
sOnable utteranccs and sympathy for
the rebels of the south. Col. Hays has
not changed his political creed and will
not support or aid in the election
OF Hancock under any circum,
stances. On the contrary he has pub
lishcd card, a copy of which the
writer has now in his possession, i'll
which he heartily indOrses the Chicago
nominees and says he will do all in his
power to aid in the election of Garfield
and Arthur. Col. Hays concludes his
card as follows: IL shall add one to his
majority. | thank my Democratic
friends for this opportunity to express
my sentiments" Is Col. Hays such a
gallant soldier and widely known citizen
who Will influence thousands to vote as
he does, in the mind of the Sentinel
man? To conclude, let me say to the
Republican voters of Kansas, that Penn

handsome majority for Garfield and
