POLITICAL POINTS.

New York Tribune: The south vote
solidly against an amendment forbidding
the payment of southern claims. But
this fact.
Utica Herald: Plaisted has fought
the fight to undo, 10 unsettle, to disor
ganize, to reinaugurate chaos. And the
Democrats, including their candidate
for president, say, "he is one of u.s."
The Cincinnati Gazette thus crowds a
large sized truth into very dimInutive
nutshell, "rhe situation demands &C
tivity and watchfulness. A solid south
can never be overcome by q stolid north"
Tammany and the solid south ARE the
primary conditions of Bourbon success
in the present canvass. General Han
cock certainly enjoys monopoly of the

1t is intinated that in the event of
General HancOck's election, the Widow

soft money men in the Democratic par

for patriotism and ability?"
.7s Globe Democrat: The idea that pros
perity helps the ''ins" and hurts the

cratic votes, this gives an average of just
eleven Democrats to one rum shop, in
Guiding the Democrat behind the bar.
New York Herald: Speaker Randall.

age.
General Beatty, the stall wart Ohio Re-
publican. says the effect of the Maine
election ON the party IN his state will be

the Buckeye state who are possessed of
sensitive olfact0ries.
