Mr.. Matthew Hale, of Albany, hAis-
breed Republican of some prominence,
has lately favored the world with his
views upon the political situation. i'd
does not seem to be confident of the sue
cess of his party. Il have great hopes. :
he says, "that we will carry Ohio and
Massachusetts,, and with them regained TO
the Republican ranks, the tide is turned
for the Presidential campaign next year. :
1t is a sad confession of weakness when
a party's hopes are limited to regalning
control of States which were long RepabE
lican, and in which it should be strong IL
it has any strength left. The Democrats
do not need Ohio or Massachusetts, The
vote Of these States would make Demc4
cratic victory more impressive, but the
victory is possible without it. The Re-
publicans need every vote they can get
They are ruined if they lose either Stafe.
And what State can they rely on whea
Massachusetts and Ohio, once the strong
holds of Republicanism, are doubtful !?
If his party succeeds in regaining Ohlo
and Massachusetts, Mr.. Hale thinks that
"the Republican outlook for 1881 is
good" Well, what is it good for in New
York, Indiana, and Connecticut In
New York, according to Mr.. Hale, the
Democratic majority this fall will be very
much less than it was last fall. The re-
duced majority will, we suppose, be the
result of Republican harmony. But If
Mr.. Hale is specimen half-breed, the
harmony will have to be sought for
among the Stalwarts Mr. Hale doesn't
trust these persons yet "They will re-
ceive Just another such lesson as they
did last year, if similar trickery is prac-
ticed," he warns them. Evidently th,.
Stalwarts will have to obey the orders OF
the half-brceds, or the latter will smash
the party again. This is very pleasant
frame of mind, and will be found very
conducive to harmony. Still, the fall
election in this State would be much more
interesting if the Republicans could pre-
duce little harmony. Such an immense
majority as that Of last year is not in all
respects desirable.
Mr.. Hale thinks that President Arthur=
appointments have not all been judi
cous" The Stalwarts have to use stronger
language than that in speaking of some
of the appointments made by Hayes and
Garfield President Arther has displeased
the half-breeds by appointing men, as Mr..
Hale says. "whose sole qualifications con-
sisted in the fact that they were Sta
warts" What he ought to have done,
of course was to appoint men whose sole
qualifications consisted in the fact that
they were half-breeds.
Every half-breed appointment enragea
the Stalwarts, every Stalwart appoint
ment enrages the half-breeds, and there
are not offices enough to 90 round. The
two factions are as harmonious as Xii
kenny cats
The poor old party begins to admit
that it is in bad way 1t feels itself
unable to recover from its collapse lest
year Its days are numbered. 1t ought
to go.

Mr. j. NJ. Barco this week called our atten-

living in The vicinity of Bronson from the fibre of
the banana stalk. The collar has done good ser

AT REST.

Alb, silent wheel, the noisy brook is dry,
And quiet hours glide by
In this deep vale. where once merry stream
Sang on through gloom aud CLEAN:
Only the dove in some leaf-shaded nest
Mnrmurs of rest
All, weary voyager, the closing day
Shines on that tranquil bay.
Where thy storm beating soul has longcd to bc.
Wild blast and angry sea
Touch not this favored shore, BY summer blcst,
A home of rest.
All, fevered heart, the grass is green and deer,
Where thou art laid asleep
Kissed by soft winds, and washed by gentle ShowCi
Thou hast thy crown Of flowers
Poor heart, too long in this mad world opprest,
Take now thy rest.
/, too, perpcxel with strife of good and ILL.,
Long to be safe and stl
Evil is present with me while pray
That good mag win the dav
Great Giyer, grant me Thy last gift and best,
Thy gift OF rest,
