POLITICAL NOTES.

The public docs not know who com
mitted the Morey forgery, but II does
know that the forgery was uttered by the
Democratic National Committee, and that
the perjury was committed In their Inter
est and paid for with their check.
Colonel Robert G.. Ingcrsoll, in 4
speech at Washington last Friday night,
declared himself in favor OF ''civil service
which would remove from office every
Democrat and would put no man in official
position in the South who was not a Re
publican
The Chicago Inter. O,eaA notes a re-
markabIe fact that the men whom the Re
publican Party have elected President have
al. been OF hnmble origin, and all become
distinguished by their own eXcrtions-thc
rail-splitter, the tanner, the tailor, the
farmer, and the tow path boy.
"A good many veterans around New
England have been pluming themselves on
the fact that this fall they east their l7th
or 18th Presidential ballot. But that
nothing. The Jacksonville Sun and Press
tells OF one man IN a certain Florida pre-
cinct who has cat his 10th vote. The
other 40 went In at the same throw.
They were of the kind known aS tissue.
The courts seem 10 De against the
democratic party, as usual. That was
the complaint OF the democratic press dur
ing the Garcclon sneak-thief cons piracy In
Maine and II Is their complaint now con-
corning Judge Davis heartless treatment
OF the Morey forgery conspiracy. II is
very evident that the democratic party can
never really enjoy itself until the courts
are abolished.-Trituas.
bad cess to 1t 90 exclaimed Mike
0'Flaharty, upon learning that Garfield was
elected "Shure, an now well be ruined
BY Chinese cheap labor" When asked
where he worked, Mike replied; II
haven't wrought stroke for five years,
but me old woman takes in washin'. and
Garfield wants he baythen Chinee To take
the hread out of cur mouths. "-NOrristoU8
Herald.
1t really seems likely that some of
these Democratic chiefs will pass the win
ter getting ready for an attempt 10 count
General Garfield out. But If they do,
fancy how the country will feel about them
by March next, and what hold they will
have 81 cured on the industrial aud COM
mercial world, which already distrusts
them, and what a fine place their party
will be for the young men who are looking
to the future.-Netc York Nation.
And so Henry Hercules Hadley, the
independent Republican who could not
conscientiously support General Garfield,
but who has been connected with the
wrecking of several life insurance COM
panies, and who has been advertised
by the Secretary OF the State OF New
Jersey as a sharper, was the 30. NJ. Will
son" sent to Lynn TO materialize Morey.
He was the man whom Mayor Prince com
mended to the confidence OF good Demo
Gratis.
The Tiger Democratic Club OF Tiger
vilie South Carolina, has adopted resolu-
lions pledging It's members 10 discard
every man who votes the Republican ticket
and to refuse to employ Republicans or
rent them land. II calls upon all Demo
Gratis not only to join with them in dis
charging every man who Is a Republican,
but To discountenance any man who may
disregard these suggestions. The Charles
ton Ners takes exceptions TO this declara-
tion OF prescription.
