POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.

NJ Butler has at last hived the en-.
tire Massachusetts Democracy.
1@-Barnum seems to be hunting OBJ.
livion rather than the rascal who i'm.
posed upon him.
@-The Democrats seem bound to gc
out OF power with big blunder boom
ing behind them.
n@Democratic jubilation over the
hnal accession of the whole of Butler
does not offend the ear by its noise.
AV General Weaver says there will
be no Democratic candidate for the
Presidency in 1884, but that the contest
will be between the Republicans and the
Greenbackers.
B1- The Democrats will have no
leader in the next Senate, but that will
be a gain for them. They would be in
better condition to-day if they had had
no leader for the past two years.
D@- There has been some talk of q
new name for the Democracy. General
Deficiency party is title which seems
to meet all demands. The concern is
deficient in everything except blunders.
1@Perhaps Barnum does not call for
an investigation of the Morey forgery
because ne prefers to wait for Repub-
lican Congress toundertake the job. He
has only to mention such q preference
to haveit complied with.
B&rThis is hard. Butler s
Simmons and ex-Boss-says Butler
Joined the Democrats because he
thought Hancock would be elected. and
considered being on the winning side
more than half the battle. How sharp
er than a serpent's tooth is the stab Of
an old friend who knows just where 10
bic!
B@rDe La Matyr. who q year ago ex-
pected to be the kingpin of the politics
of this winter, holding the balance of
power in the Indiana delegation, which
was itself to hold the balance of power
in the House of Representatives, is now
so nearly forgotten that his three little
votes for United States Senator in the
Indiana legislature have almost an an
tiquarian interest 1t is something to
be remembered. even if only little,
and as political curiosity at that

ASTle Democratic Franking Abuse
Explores mediate an uncommonly
striking act of generosity. With the
proof oftwo tons of fraudulent Demo-
cratic natter right under their noses,
and win no trace of particle of fraud
ulent Republican matter, they think of
making a report of "looseness in the
use oithe franking privilege by both
partis." That is what may be called
hansome conduct; but what do Messrs.
Cox and Wallace, who charged the
Democratic Committee with forging
thar immaculate names. think about it?
Dat they want the rascals hunted
dwn?--M. y Tribune.
D6Senator Butler, of South Carroll
u. said not long ago that the condition
q the South would be greatly i'm
roved by q migration of large pro-
,ortion of the negroes to other States.
He was in favor of an exodus. The
people of his own State don't agree
with him. Evidence collected by the
Neics and Courier shows
hat there is a scarcity of negro labor
N South Carolina; that where white
abor has been introduced it has not
proved satisfactory; that the negroes
are earning higher wages now than
ever before, and that any larger migra-
ton would be q great loss to the State.
Senator Butler was possibly weary of
the wear and tear of destroying the ne
gro vote on election day when he gave
his mistaken opinion.
16- The Southern journals are max
ing a great mistake if they think Cen
eral Garfield's remarks to the colored
men mean that as President he will
adopt Southern methods of treating the
negroes. 1t is true that he advised
them to educate their children, and to
avoid drawing the color line. The
Southern journals say that is the advice
the Southern Democrats have always
given. So they have; but they have
done their best to prevent the education
Of the blacks, and have enforced the
law that no negro has a right to have
his vote counted save when he votes the
ticket. Their way of abol-
ishing the color line is to force the ne
yroes into the Democratic party. Cen
eral Garfield is not disciple of this
policy.-N y. Times.
