Political Notes.

An old fashioned Washington democrat, who
has ideas OF his own In regard TO ON ial pro-
prieties, and who is very sanguine OF the cleo
ton of his partys nominee Is now quietly
inquiring In all quarters likely 10 know whethe'
General Hancock is fond OF going 10 agricul-
tural fairS and college commencementS. IL h
is, well, .
Isn't there Just a little too much Importance
attached 10 the circumstance whether senator
Don Cameron viii or will not take the position
OF chairman OF the republican national COM
mittee this year? It looks as though the party
considers itself short OF material for party
leaders and is liable 10 be construed as an indi-
cation OF panic. There We're heroes before
Agamemnon," and It is likely good campaign
managers may be found even after the Pennsyl-
yania Senator has passed away.
There was great enthusiasm for Greeley when
he received the democratic nomination, but Il

after all, that history viii repeat itself in this
respect.
Hancock looks as IL Mrs Hancock Is not op-
posed TO the occasional use OF light wines. The
White House may thus lose one OF Mrs HAYES
reforms, but the thirsty diplomatic corps would
be so glad Boston Herald.
The endorsement OF Garfield by the republi-
cans or Maine is heartily given. Glr1elt
stumped the state two years ago and won grea'
popularity. The republicans there are conn4e
OF electlng their governor in september.
''If the fraud by which Hayes was placed In
power be not rebuked by the nomination and
reelection OF Tilden then the fact is established

morning OF the day Hancock was nominated.
Ex-Governor Bishop seeks the democratic
nomination I'm the I'd Ohio district, and fees
confident that he can get IL away from Gov
Young.
A western paper finds fault with the dem1-
cratic ticket because the son OF Mr.. English
who is himself widOwer) is married 10 a
variety actress, who might, In the event that
Hancock should be elected ana die. become the
lady OF the White House. This would be Just
too awfully awful for any thing.
The Nashville American (democratic) moves
an important amendment. IL says Judge Hoad-
ley'S expression "indestructfbe units OF an in
deStructIble union." was not equal TO another
In which the same great truth Is better formu
lated, when the states are described as the "ln-
deStructibie states OF an indiSSoluble uniol.r
Gen. Garfield was 10 the depot In Cleveland
when the Tammany braves passed through on
their return from Cincinnati, ol one OF the
cars was placarded in huge letters: New York
$4,000 ma j0riJy for Hancock"
Tilden was determined that none OF his specI-
al rivals should get the nomination; and they
all failed. Bayard, Thurman and Hendricks
and all the democratic party leaders were de.
feated.-DetrOu Post.
EX-DistItct Attorney E. III. Lathrop, one OF
the leading Butler men OF Massachusetts has
resigned his membership Of the Butler state
committee.
The New York Erenjpg Post thinks that the
party which has protested against "the man on
horseback" and has insisted upon putting
away the sword in the administration of poiitf-
cal affairs, has chosen a successful soldier,
without experience In civil life, simply because
he is-a successful soldier.
The democrats or the 1st Ohio district have
about made up their minds TO renominate Hon.
