The Democrats OF Iowa have decided upon
| a camr align of ten weeks tnrAtion, holding
! their State convention August 10Th.
Alabama coDgratulstes itself that it is the
most soldly Democratic State in the late
Solid South. Every member OF the present
legislature is said to be of that party.
The Boston Herald st;ies that the friends of
the Hon. R9bsr; r. Bbhc p, president OF the
Massachusetts Senate, aaye decided 10 let the
fact go cut that Mr.. Bishop will enter
the next Republicans State convention as
candidate for governor, and also that gov
ernor Long will be candidate for Congress.
The Chicago sooisli-ts have declared
sgainst the veto u the Chinese bill, on the
ground that Eastern manufacturers de mand
Tree trade in labor while they will not grant
( free trade in commerce, and the sociaiists are
| unwilling 10 submit to what they denounce
as a lop-sided arrangement
The Macon tGa.l Telegraph humorously
observes: at is thought that some OF the
| political combination will not survive the
| hot summer. Any men who has governor
lied ont will do well TO put him IN lce."
| This, says the Selma Times, will apply to
Alabama politics as well. Some of the
many candidates are going to fall through
early in the summer
Ex Governor Bishop, of Ohio, Is sanguine
| that the Democrats can carry at least one oil
The Cincinnati congressional districts next
fall. He told correspondent OF the Cincin-
j natl Enquirer in Washington that the greatest
difficulty was 10 getting good men Tor candi-
| dates. 10 response to a suggestion that he
himself light be in the field he said that he
! bid retired from actiye political lie.
Z Congressman Grape and Rice, of Massa-
chusetts, each of whom is supposed TO desire
the nomination for governor Of that State,
are said to be awaiting the action OF the
State Republican co1aTention before asking
| reelection to Congress. Should Mr.. Crafo /
| receive the nomination for governor be Will
! probably be succeeded in hiyPfesent position
by Mr.. Marston, now attoraeg-general OF the
Stets. n
The Cincinnati Coraaereid says that the |
BETRAYAL OF Senator fhurman as prrsden-
tisl candidate in Ohio by the Use 1.-THE name |
Of his uncle W;aiam Ailer, was very mean
business. bit Is not usually ascribed to the
ri,ht eddse Thurman had not surrendered
pr~nPtly to the strenuous idiocy OF the Ohio
-Greenbackers, who thought iu their blatant
ignorance, that they had been born TO take
charge of mankind.
Ex-Governor Hendricks, in a spsech at
Indianapolis last week took decided ground
egainst the SUBMISSION of a probibitory
amendment to the people Of Indiana. He
argued that the temperance question had not
been an issue in the tsnvass when the pres
ent Legislature was eiecied, and said that the
the amendment. S,me OF the Democratic
papers have strongl. objected to the party
taking an ntl-prohbition stand.
In ancient history we read Of men pursu
ing each other to tie death, and the survivor
burying his victim With all the pageantry and
pomp Of woe. Perhaps Governor Crittenden,
OF Missouri, could appease the indignation
Of the citizens of mat State who lament the
loss of so distinguished a citizen as Jesse
Iz..eI III
to he draped for thirty days, and wearing a
weed in his own bat for six months
Alexander Stephens says that Senator
Browns speech vas the best that had been
made upon the lariA' question. III" says
the Montgomery Adnatsc-, "the tariff ques-
ton, being defired, means whether we shall
have free trade or continue the tariff, Mr.
Stephens is right in his admiration OF the
senator's effort The whole speech was an
argument against free trade, except in one
paragraph"
The Boston Star says: "The already too
long list of political swindlers must be
s~eIled by the names Of the Star-route delin-
quents; Democracy had SSartwout the New
York defau.iirg collector, and Fowler the
Ascending New York postmaster, and the
fifty public land swindlers in the South
west. Then came Tweed, Sweeney and
GaIvey. RspublicaniSm, not to be outdone,
sends TO the front It's Southern Moses, its
W, stern Colfax, and its Northern Patterson,
and now takes a stride ahead, in the de-
yelopmant Of its Star-routers"
The first witness for the government in the
South Carolina election cases confessed on
crosse Examination that he went TO South
Carolina as body servant Of thief, and that
he committed perjury Ia order to act as a
and voted illegally at the very
election he is trying TO prove was fraudu-
lenily conducted. Yet this is the first step
neral MB reSster has ' 6een @irGn
after the fashion OF Bsrnam's new Jumbo"
Ii the jails had all that belong to them there
would not be Republican vote in South
Carolina.
The New York 1ii6uas is sobered and
frightened at the Western municipal cleo
lions. 1t summarizes the results in the
striking, forcibie manner: The
Democrats have carried Cincinnati. The
Democrats have carried Cleveland. The
Democrats have carried Columbus. The
Democrats have carried Toledo. The Demo-
Gratis have carried Dayton. The Democrats
have carried Chicago. The Democrats have
carried Milwaukee. The Democrats have
carried Indianapolis. The Democrats have
carried Dubuque. The Democrats have car
ried Minneapolis.

stes during the war aud the risht-hand of

hat Malone regards the pious duty of keep
ng green the graves of his fellow-soldiers in
Virginia as hIch bore that by joint reso-
ution he has devolyed the task upon a gang
f conYicts from the State prison. The ira
iitional prejudices of whole race are not TO

The want of new Democratic timber ia
is giving the party SOME trouble
Is the time for selecting its candidate for !
governor approaches. Ex-senator Eaton's J
lame war brought forward some time ago,
md more recently Ex-Governors Ingersoll
lud Hubbard have been mentioned. But it
s doubtful il the party cares to repeat its
Experience of two years ago, when It ran |
Sx- Governor English. L. NJ. Waller, of
New London, has rome friends who are
lrging his claims.s The Hartford Post, how :
yer, brings forward brand-new candidate
Or The Democracy in the person Of Ex-
Mayor Sumner, of that city. Ii thinks that
