CAMPAIGN NOTES.

Senator Edmunds has been reelected Sena-
tor from Vermont for another six years.
Schuyler Colfax is again talked of as Sem
ator from Indiana. II Garfield is 1T for Prcsi-
dent, Colfax is certainly fit for Senator.

to Michigan. He will stay in Maine and
watch the Senatorship.

ised TO spend $4,000 in the Republican
campaign In Connecticut IL they will prom
Use to elect him United States Senator II the
State goes Republican.
Senator Gordon, Governor Colquitt, and
Senator Joseph Il. Brown, Of Georgia, are to
take the stump in Florida. The Democrats
announce that they intend to do all in their
power to save the State.
When the Republican State organ of Ohio
announces that Garfield will retain Secre-
tary Sherman at the head of the Treasury
Department, it probably hasn't consulted
Senator Conkling on the subject.
There was Republican loss of three at
Mentor the home of Gen. Garfield, at the
late election, while in the Eleventh Ward of
indianapolis, where Mr.. English lives, the
Republicans gained three. Governors =
Island didn't vote.
Now that Longstreet who led the rebel
host against Hancock OH Cemetery Hill at
Gettysburg, has just been honored with a
foreign mission, it is in order for Pennsylva-
mia to put her seal of condemnation upon
Hancock by casting her electoral vote against
| him.-Hila. Times.
The Fourth Congressional District of New
Jersey, composed of Hunterdon, Somerset,
Sussex, and Warren counties, is just now
| the scene of one of the hottest political cam
| paigns that the district has ever known.
| The rival candidates are Gen. Judson kilpat-
rick, Republican, and Henry s. Harris, Dem
ocrat. As the district is Democratic by three
or four thousand Xii. win he beaten out O
his boots.
Gen. Ben Harrison has made public an
| nouncement of his intention to become a can
didate for United States Senator before the
next Legislature of Indiana. II was at frs
assumed that Gen. Harrison would not seef
this position, but would prefer a seat in Gar
fields Cabinet. Perhaps he would, but III
knows as we'll as the next man that any littl,
arrangement like that may slip up, ani
while he is waiting to see If Garfield i,
elected somebody else may get away will
the Senatorship. If he really insists upoI
it, Gen. Harrison will probably not hav,
much difficulty in securing an election to thu
Senate.
The Philadelphia Press says: "Presiden
Polk turned William II. English ont of offic,
because of the charges against him in con
necton with the administration of his grand
: mothers estate. And yet the Democratic
party want to intrust him with the Vic
Presidency, with tho possible succession t
!, the administration of the Government of tn
United States.' TO which the Philadelphia
Times very promptly and effectually retorts
"President Hayes turned Chester A. Arthu
out of Office because of the charges agains
him in connection with the administration @
the New York Custom-HOuse. And yet til
: Republican party want to intrust him witt
the Vice Presidency, with the possible sue
cession to the administration of the Govern
ment of the United States"
Anson McCools, nominated by the Reput
licans for Congress in New York, made
; pregnant statement to correspondent of
, Western paper the other day. He said h
, would be elected If the friends of Mr.. ConB
, ling did not cut him, and the pretext for sue
action would be that he had given model
, ate support to the administration of MI
+ Hayes. 1t will make the canvass in Ne'
, York very interesting if Mr.. Conkling an
his friends enter upon n campaign of revenge
1 There are good many men to be punished
q 1t may be said that they have as good rigl
! to punish disagreeable people like Mr.. M,
n Cook as Mr.. Curtis and his friends to scratc
n Cornell. 1t is curious to note that Will
a Mr.. Conkling is pleading for harmony
+ Ohio and Indiana leading Republicans al
shivering for fear of his vengeance in Ne
a York.-N. Y. Herald.
