POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.

BlSH A small bar'l has been tapped in
Maryland, and that State will soon add
its pipe 20 the stentorian voice of Ne
braska, in booming for Sammy Tilden.
So the ball rolls on.-LincoI1t (Neb.)
Journal.
BaSn The Pennsylvania Democracy
seems to be as hopelessly split up as the
New York Democracy. The rivalry be-
tween Randall and Wallace is stronger
than ever, and the hope of a reconcilia-
ton between these gentlemen is as far
off as ever. How those Democrats love
each other!
BSS" Hugo Preyer, a socialistic green
back blatherskite, has written to st.
Louis sympathizer to the effect that the
time has arrived when the United States
Government should be abolished, and
that all that is needed is leader with
sufficient nerve and brains to preach re-
pudiation and revolution.
E9~ Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota,
who is contesting the seat of Washburn
in Congress, wants an investigation.
He would want anything that would
serve to keep him before the country
and add to his somewhat questionable
notoriety. Donnelly is a very small
sample of ass.-Erchange.
B6yr Dan Voorhees, having so misera-
bly, failed in his exodus investigation is
now trying to hedge by complaining
of the threatening letters he is receiv-
ing. We hope the committee will call
for all such letters. The only danger
to Dan, so far as letters go, is from
those he writes himself. The dodge is
very thin one, Daniel.-KanSaS city

BSs@ General Leslie Coombs, the vet.
eran Kentuckian whose age was a mat
ter of profound speculation in the last
century, rejects with scorn the sugges-
ton of the denomination of your Uncle
Samuel. He pronounces the peaceful
philosopher of Gramercy Ily-livered
and lacking gall, and declares that il
''the Republican nominee is anything
short of being a horse-thief or house,
breaker he will beat Tilden. - Chicago
Times, (Ind)
B1@ Considerable testimony has beer
taken by the Congressional Committee
investigating the causes of the exodus
of the colored people from the South
Nothing particularly new has beer
elected, but one testified that refugee
on being questioned regarding the
danger the colored people ran in vot
ing, said: elf l vote the Republican
ticket, l wakes up next morning in 9

B6y- Solon Chase pays his respects t
the Democratic party of Maine in the
following Words 1.-The Democracy il
this State has dwindled to an insignih
cant third party. 1t has for cass stones
the old Bourbon leaders, who holC
| themselves above common people, by
reason of their wealth and superior cul
ture, but the ground tier is all gone ex
cept in few cities. To fuse with sucl
q party is to lie down with dead man
and fight the Republicans tied to I
than the ace of spades"
BdyH Ignatius Donnelly has written
virtuously indignant letter to the Hous,
Committee on Elections demanding al
investigation as to the authorship of thu
anonymous letter sent to Mr.. Springer
There is scarcely particle of doub
that Finley wrote the letter, and as HI
and Donnelly were hunting in couples
it is hardly worth while for the latter Il
become virtuously indignant at the sus
picion that he was party to the trans
action. Donnelly is effectually don,
for, and he might as well recognize tn,
fact.
nay 1t is evident that Ben Hill, who's,
character is just now patched in man,
places with black court-plaster, is tn
real mover and engineer of the infa
nous scheme to unseat Senator Kel
logg, and seat the pretender Spoffor,
in his place. There is considerabl
doubt whether that scheme will sue
ceed; but Hill has managed to commi
the Democratic party to it, to at least
damaging extent. It will constitute
precedent, if it succeeds, which will ex
cuse the kicking out of the Senate o
any Democratic Senator-provided j
were possible for any other politica
party to follow so dishonorable pre-
J cedent--the moment there is a chang
in the political majority in the Senate
