POLITICAL POINTS.

| They are in the services OF the Republican
party and shsuld not be slighted.-Boston
Post (Dem).
Senator Miller, OF California, thinks that
Senator Farley may lead the Democrats, who
| will claim that the settlement of the Chinese
question through the Chinese bill was a
Democratic affair.
No matter whether Dorsey's letter to Gar
| field is genuine or fraudulent, if the advice
| given in it had been followed by the late
President he would have shown more wis
dom than he did.-BrOOkiyn Eagle (Dem).
Butterworth has returned to his Ohio con-
| stituents by this time. During the recess he
will compile dictionary of vulgar quota
lions and color Wallpaper by breathing
against it.-DcsUcr Tribune (Rep).
Sir Edward Mcpherson, K. C. B. (Knight
of the Congressional Bunghole), grows elo-
quent in praise of Congress which every
body else condemns. Sir Edward has an eye
single to his reelection as clerk.-HarTisburg
Patriot (Dem.).
Democratic prospects in Pennsylvania are
Frightening. Don Cameron has Just been
compelled to pay security debt of $4,000
The withdrawal of this amount of money
from the canvass may turn the scale.-SI
Louis Post Dispatch.
Robson is hurting his party in New Jer-
sey by fighting for reelection, but then he
thluk5 tndL q sLudIl IL u6 can Only
win. The Republicans down there ought to
treat him as his fellow-passengers did Jonah.
Boston Globe (DerR.).
In Maine Mr. Blaine feels loss of cousid-
Grafton on account of his private station.
The younger men of his party are pushing
themselves forward, and are glad of any OPP
portunity to teach him that there is no office
for him in or from the State of Maine.
The indications of conviction in the Star
route cases are good. Dorsey is abusing the
original prosecutor, his lawyers abuse the
government Witnesses and his editors abuse
the court. 1t is to be hoped that the whole
party will be abusing the jury before long
Philadelphia Times.
Thomas II. Hendricks now appears in the
role of temperauce-man. This is all right
Tom has danced about on the platform at
livelier rate than piece of popcorn in
red-hot skillet. The only plank he hasn't
touched is that which justiies the husband
of a deceased wife's sister in marrying his
mother-in-law.-Denuer Tribune
The reason why women do not get Office in
Washington is thus concisely stated by the
New York Herald: "Women do not vote;
they are of no use to the machine and
widows or orphans of the dead soldiers of the
Republic must step and give place to the
political wire-puller. This ia machine poll
the grand old war party"
In the South the negro enjoys as fully as
does the white man his civil and political
rights. But we do not believe that any COM
munity, North or South, will ever quietly
submit to negro domination. Ii the North
has grievance against the South on this ac-
count we greatly fear the two sections can
never become harmonious. The South is de-
termined that her intelligence shall rule.

country.-Sdudnnah Netcs.
The father-in-law of General Chalmers
has been appointed superintendent of the
government building TO be erected at jack
son, Miss. This presentation of an Office
may be only coincidence, or it may mean
that there is truth in the rumors that the adj
ministralion is to help General Chalmers in
his Independent campaign. In the latter
event, political bargain of most undesir-
able description has been made.-NeW Or
leans Times.
Instances innumerable have come before
the commission demonstrating the rotten
ness, the selfishness and injustice OF the
whole protection system. They will, how
ever, doubtless be carefully excluded from
the commissions report. But neither the
commission nor the party it serves can pre-
vent the facts from reaching the people
whom the Infamous system robs. The APP
pointment of Tariff Commission may have
been fatal miss; ep for the tariff thieves
who created it.-Chicago Times.
The Democratic party is to be congratu-
lated on the fact that General Chalmers, of
Mississippi, has pledged himself not to vote
or act with it on any political question if he
should be elected to Congress. We have
only to take the Republican account of the
swindling process whereby General Oh slmers
was returned as elected, along with General
Chalmers's own account of how the Demo-
Gratis failed to support him, to construct a
very valuable testimonial to the party he
now opposes.-Philqdelphia Ledger.
Proctor Knott says that Arthur is in the
lead for the Republican nomination for pres
ident. OF the Democratic nominee he says:
81 suppose Hancock's friends still think there
are hopes. / like General Hancock very
much myself, and would support him very
warmly. Justice Field is, in my opinion,
the fttest for the position. He is a man of
great learning and wide information, and l
don't know of man in either party who
would better fill the place. Tilden is not
superior man, / hardly think he will be a
candidate again."
The Nashville World says that the crown
ing act of the convention "was the nomiRa-
ton of Andrew J. Caldwell, of Davidson, to
represent this district in Congress. A dis
trict which has a long line OF illustrious
names made part of the nations history
by their superior ability aud statesmanship,
does not fall off in the efficacy and adapta-
bility of its material. The Hermitage dis
trict demands the best talent of the State to
represent it in Congress. Worthily has it
borne in times past the honors of the State,
and in the hands of General Caldwell ii
will nothing OF Its prestige lose"
