PoLETTCAL NOTES.

WHEN the wire is taken out Of Blsine's
house tho proceeding will be solemn one.
IL tho democrats think thoy can get up
better circus with more fun at Cincinnati, let
them try It..
If there has been single delegate in favor
of Senator Davis elected to the Cincinnati
convention, the fact has not been communi.
Gated 10 the public.
THE Boston Herald says that IL Mr.. Blaine
does not win at Chicago, Maine will be Que Of
the most thoroughly canvassed, the most
closely fought and tho most doubtful states in
the union.
The Danville Times is mad. II says: owe
do not suppose that there is negro on tho
council of any other town or city in the whole
state of Virginia, but Danville. Hero, where
there was not the least necessity for it, we
have three, and radical negroes at that"
THE Troy Press notes that the Rev. T. 8.
Bishop has petitioned tho secretary OF war for
payment for prayers which he offered for tho
success of the union cause during the war.
We have q bill of that sort, and IL brother
Bishop gets paid we shall forward our claim.
THE chief organ of the South Carolina de-
mocraey remarks of the party's candidates for
state offices. "Tho mon who compose this
ticket need no introduction to the people"
They do not, for the public became familiar
with their names in the cipher dispatches Of
| 1876,
THEsemi.anuual report of tho Kansas Freed
mans Relief association shows that between
October 10, 1879, and March 81, 1880, fully
10000 negro immigrants arrived at Topeka
| from the southern states, aud were cared for
by tho association. The cash contributions in
tho same time amounted to S29,596
| SENATOR BLAINE sent telegram TO the
worliiugmen's high-tarf meeting in Beaver,
| Pa., on Saturday, saying: II beg you will ex-
| I,It k,,, IL.
| industrial demonstration my sincere regret
that public duties render IL impossible for me
| TO be present and speak to them"
/ BLAINE who had a four.hush doubled the
blind and drew one card; Grant saw the blind
and stood pat; Sherman came in with trips
and drew two; Edmunds and Washburno fol-
lowed and drew to big pairs; Window thought
the game was bluff any how, SO held up an ace
aud drow four; Garfield put out the lights
and snatched the pot.
The reason for Tildeu's alleged uupopularity
in the south is leaking out. 1t is said he IRE
, pudiated his election expenses" in South Caro-
lima and other southern states In 1876. Sucl
conduct Ia exceedingly irritating to southern
gentlemen who were ruined by the "wab.'
The barrel, however, is rolling through thu
south, and the opposition to Tiden is becom
ing less pronounced. An old saw reset-al
that busters is not boom.
If no paralytic strokes follow the Chicago
: convention it will DO established that th,
managing men there have remarkable power
( of endurance. The physical strain alone b
, which they have been subjected for ten day
past is almost equal to that of weeks day
o and-night walking match, while the mouta
pressure has been continuously up to LOO
pounds to tho square inch. The men who hav,
lived through it need not be afraid Of any
thing hereafter.
