POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.

fEayH Tilden is the Democracys old
man of the sea. Firmly fixed on the
party's back, with his arms around its
neck, and his legs around its body, he
cannot be thrown nor unseated by any
means that human ingenuity can de-
wise.
R=,g. A witness before the Voorhees,
committee, the other day, said that the
election of n Democratic President this
year would cause the negroes of the
South to fly pell-mell to any place
where they were promised freedom in
the exercise of their political rights.
Rsy" Tilden seems to be playing the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS game.
His strong hold is in being a candidate
to-day and not candidate tomorrow,
thus exciting curiosity and making peo-
pie wonder and talk. He understands
the value of sensational advertising

B=Iy" Some people who want to see
Judge Field nominated for President
have established q bureau at Washing
ton, and are sending out documents in
a way to make ones head swim. The
documents are chiefly Judge Fields
opinions in the political cases recently
decided by the Supreme Court. -Piiid-

Relyr Mr.. Burrows, of Michigan,
sounded the keynote when he said:
There can BE- no question but that it
is the deliberate, deep-seated purpose
of the Democratic party to nullify such
laws as they disapprove but cannot re-
peal.n And he might have appropri-
ately added that it is the deep-seated
purpose of that party to count in the
Democratic candidate for President
whether he is elected or not. That ex-
plains 1ilden's earnestness in seeking q
nomination that otherwise would be
only an empty HONOR Huntington

R<iy" Mr.. j. NJ. Brown, colored man,
who was elected Sheriff of Coahoma
County, Miss, in 1878, testified the 9TH
er day before the Exodus Committee at
Washington that "the cause of the
exodus was due to an entire absence of
security for life, liberty, or property of
the colored people in the South. The
life of negro is at the tender mercy of
the lowest white man in the neighbor-
hood where he may reside. As regards
their political rights, he said it is i'm
possible to get a fair vote. They are
allowed to vote in some localities, but
cheated in tie count" Comment is
unnecessary.
Rs2g~A Democratic agent of immigra-
? tion in Missouri told George Alfred
Townsend confidentially that $4,000
more Republicans were wanted in that
State--just enough to even up things,
without losing the Democratic majority.
Missouri does not get emigrants, but
they pass through the State and 90 to
law-abiding communities like those of
Kansas and Colorado, where Republi-
agent is foolish to ask for only $4,000
Republican voters. They would be of
little use. Missouri needs 100000 Re-
publicans. 1t would be big money in
her pocket if she had them, and they
managed the State Government from
top to bottom. Chicago Tribune.
pa Some years ago the use of the
