Political Notes.

For public credit in the North; for re-
pudiationin theSouth for protection in the
East; for free trade in the West-this is
the ring-streaked and speckled platform
on which the Republican party stands to-
day.-Carlisle Volun teer.
The Republican organs are beginning
to have their doubts about the advisability
Of capturing two or three Southern States,
with the prospect of losing important
Northern States. Their power is weaken
ing in New York and Pennsylvania. Let
them go ahead with their reputation
business. 1t is meat for the Democratic
party, which represents the debt-paying
element of the country.-Louisville Cour-
ier Journal.
The success of Mr.. Keifer to the Speak
ership is complete triumph for the stall
werts, and was directly accomplished by
the efforts of President Arthur, ex-Sena-
tors Conklin and Platt, and Senator Cam
eron. To say that. is simply to say that
it was accomplished by deceit and trick
cry, and in subversion of good policy and
the welfare of the Republican party
Philadelphia Telegraph.
The stalwert leaders decided not to
give the half-breeds of New York the
mans for speaker they wanted, and the
New York half-breeds Immediately imi-
tated the cheap boarding house landlady,
who found out what her boarders didn't
want and then gave them plenty of it.
The Hiscock men found out that Penn
| sylvania didn't want, Mcpherson and they
gave Pennsylvania plenty of him by
making him Clerk.-Philadelphia Times.
President Arthur is simply Collector
Arthur, who was dismissed from office
by a Republican Executive and Senate
for prostitution of his position to partisan
prohigacy, and he accepts the fact with
out affecting to have acquired elevated
ideas with elevated trust.-Carlisle Vol
unteer.
The new speakers name is miserably
mispronounced. The tendency is to call
him Kiefer, making his name rhyme with
REFER, which is as much out of the way
as it would be to spell it like zyphyr or
pronounce it like heifer. The "propah
capah' seems to be to call him Klfer,
rhyming him with cipher.-Wheeling
(Va.( Register.
The stalwarts have already perfected
their arrangements for a squsre-toed stall
wart organ in Baltimore. They have pur-
chased the Gazette, a long-languishing
Democratic organ, but possessing the i'm
portant Associated Press franchise, and
, it will be transformed into the Baltimore
Times on the first proximo, with Mr.. Will
liam B. Hazelton, formerly staff editor
on this journal and lately managing edi-
tor of the Baltimore American, as chief
editor. Mr.. Hazelton is now perfecting
, his machinery and general arrangements
for making first.class newspaper to
champion Maryland stalwartism, and the
5 new organ will have all the patronage
) and moral support of the Arthur admin
! istration.-Philadelphia Times.
Senator Sherman is making himself
painfully conspicuous with 8 per cent.
,, refunding bill. Last session the 8 per
cent. rate, when proposed by the Demo
Gratis, was denounced as robbery and
contemptuously rejected by all the bank
:. ing interests of which Senator Sherman
is the exponent. Like many other prom
inent leaders Mr.. Sherman is generally
found in the rear of the procession, but
