POLITICAL POINTS.

New York Tribune: Wade Hampton
has given his party It's needed first-class
issue.
The mournful suspicion is slowly fill
tering into the Democratic mind that
Bill English's bar'l is fatally loaded.
The new campaign pictures of Eng
lish are to be embeliished with the foot
note: n. B.-This is not ''Cormorant."
Chicago Inter Ocean; Our David
wants to make the Davis family unani
nous for Hancock. JEFF has been right
all the time
AS a craw-llsh Wade Hampton is not
glitteFing success. He should stick TO
the old role in which he has made his
reputation. and rest content with his
record as IA iire-eater.
The disclosure of Bill English's finan-
cial operations in Indianapolis has sug-
gested the propriety of amending the or
typography of the tail of the Democratic
ticket so rs to read: For wise Presi.
dent, VIM. II. English.
Probably the Democratic apologists
for Wade Hampton's reasonable utter
ances at Stanton, Virginia, class the Al
ALBANIA frauds and the rotten census re-
turns from South Carolina under the
head of "indiscretions."
The Democratic party are seemingly
Oblivious TO the fact that a very large
proportion of the present voting popula-
ton of the country were contemporary
with the late "unpleasantness" and that
several very accurate histories of the re
bellion have been written.
New York Tribune: 1t has been ad-
mitted by the Democratic journals that
il the extract from Hampton's speech is
accurate it will cost Hancock thousands
of votes. AS its accuracy has been es-
tablished beyond question, the loss may
be considered as recorded.
The Democracy are requested to ban
ish all needless fears concerning apropeI
surveillance ofGeneral Hancock. There
is faithful and intelligent functionary
employed at Governors Island whose
special duty II is to tell the superb
candidate TO come in the house when il
rains.
The Democratic mud-mills are not do
ing much in the way of besliming Ches
ter A. Arthur these days. The Bourbon
journals seem to be utilizing all the
spare soil of the party just now in throw
ing up Notifications around Bill Eng
lish, the friend of the poor man." il
