POLITICAL NOTES.

"FoLeERY" is the new word for crooked
ness in political conventions.
IT is said that Blaine, Frye and Hale will
assist Robson in his canvass for Congress in
New Jersey.
"a FUsERAL Grafton" is the title the
New York press gives Folgers accept
ance of the Republican nomination for gov
ernor.
The Baltimore American, a sound Repnb-
Iican paper, says: "Blaine's latest declars-
tion in Virginia has discounted, if not par
alyzed, the efforts of Malone"
| THE comet is still visible to the naked eye,
we believe. The same cannot be said of the
public spirit of that man who "don't care
anything about elections, you know"
The Boston Journal says: "We have met
several of the most prominent manufacturers
in the State, and they have expressed de-
sire 10 have the present tariff revised and re-
duced"
| IN Malone, Cameron and Langston we
have three types of secondary degradation
in politics-the boss bossed, the governor
governed, and the freed slave going back
into slavery.
Gov BARsrow, of Vermont, in his exscu-
tive message of Friday last, said: 'The
power of the State to regulate railroad cor
porations cannot be denied, though it should
be used with caution"
DANIEL KING, a colored Democrat, resid-
ing at Kennerville, La, WIS murdered by
| Republican negroes while attempting TO re-
cover a drum he had loaned them, and which
he wanted to use at a Democratic club
meeting.
SENATOR VOORHEES, predicts that Indiana
will give 10000 Democratic majority in
| November. He says that the campaign is a
| lively one, that but little money is being
used, and that most OF the floating vote will
| go to the Democrats.
Soon we will hear no more reports OF the
early marrisges of Tilden, Arthur and
David Davis. Grover Cleveland, the COM
| ing governor of New York, is a bachelor,
and his name will be the fsvorite for gossirs
as the most eligible match uncaught.
RATHER a novel expedient has been re-
sorted 10 in Cleveland, o., where the Prohi-
bitionisls have hired a certain number of
columns in The Leader, wherein to advertise
their views and arguments, while the Leader |
NIT ir,I
its editorial space.
HOWARD CARROLL is 10 be the admins |
tration can didate for congressma an at-large |
in New York. As he "made the admins |
tration," the administration should do Its |
best ito make him." but defeat is star-in' /
him in the face, unless his father-in-law,
Starin, can help him by his great wealth.
FoLeER opposed the river and haTbor bill
and advised the President TO veto it. 1t can
be established that Arthur himself said that
he was misunderstood as tofavoripg over
81 ,000, 600 year TO tbe Mississippi river.
The rush 10 embrace Arthur as friend to
the South is entirely too previous.
GEN. BUTLER, who is in Washington, in
private conversation tells his friends that he
has not changed his principles at all; it ia
the Democratic party that has come over 10
him; he has not gone over to the Democratic
party. He says he has forgiven the Demo-
cratic rarity as they have forgiven him.
The Boston Post rejoices that Georgia
"did not reject the services of her most dis
tinguished son to give place to the leader of
a coalition OF many stripes and no princi-
Piles, especially when the former stands at
the head of the party which has brought tie
State peace, happiness and prosperity"
The Terrebonne Times says that politics
are red-hot in the Third Congressional dis
trict of Louisiana, and that it is informed |
that the numerous recruits that Beattie has
received from the Kellogg crowd last week
WIS caused by the failure of the boss to
furnish the needful according to contract.
SENATOR BAYARD has Just returned from
a trip to the extreme West, and in an inter-
view expresses his delight at the encouraging
political situation. He believes that the
Republican party's back is broken by the
laststraw of bold corruption, and that the
for the Democracy is fully ripe.
We have noted of late a universal ten
dsncy on the part Of the Democratic organs
10 ''carry" things. This is not remarkable.
Au eontraire, as the French say, the present is
The time when the Democrats do carry
Ihingr, if ever. There are more indica-
lions of Democratic success this year than
Usual.
BEN BUTLER ventures the prediction that | ,
will be the winning card in ]
he next presidential election. He is right.
New York shows it to-day. And it is big !.
issue, as comprehensive it is important. Z
It involves all the troublesome tariff mat /
err, Tor The prorecrron1sts desiring prohIbi-
DRY subsidies are the men who have TO be
ought. II
SENATOR JONES, OF Nevada, who is spoken d
# as Secretary Folger's successor, says he q
kinks that the treasury surplus should be
applied 10 the payment OF the national debt, y
nd that there is no complaint of present %
aggressive taxation. 81 believe" he said, 4
that ultimately all the paper money in this Y
COUNTRY will and ought to be issued by the
NR. THURLow WEED BARNES has been o
discharged from his editorial position on the "
Albany Evening Journal because he openly u
Imports Secretary Folger for governor, and is
Urged that the paper, in accordance with its a
traditions, should do likewise. Mr. Barnes n
avs that The proprietois OF the Eusning n
Journal agree with Its new editor that the
ime has come for it to be made an indie
'endent Democratic newspaper.
WE saw in 1876 that the Republican party =
rould not yield up the government without Il
convulsion, and no doubt we shall see in
SS4 an effort on their part TO retain power
ven at the risk of shattering the Union 10
'ieces. The; handmade of secession is not |
rec trade, nor the national bank, nor the Ii
abroad corporation, but simply the unwil- "
ingness of a party to surrender national II
'ower.
Mr.. Hepburn, in declining.the Republican c
omination for Congressman-at-large, from ei
be State of New York, has drawn the "
