POLITICAL JOTTINGS.

Labor is indispensable to the crea.
ton and profitable use of capital, and
capital increases the efficiency and
value of labor.-yam,es G.. Blaine.
The opponents of Mr.. Blaine are
nearly all taking refuge in the waste
paper of the Mulligan- Fisher letters.
They are in a condition of dilapidation
unusual in a Presidential campaign,
and they seek to hide their nakedness,
and bruises, and sores with a few tlimsy
old scraps of paper.
United States Senator-elect Black
burn, of Kentucky, in a recent speech
at Louisville, spoke of the freeing of
the slave as an outrage, and gloried in
the disloyalty of the Kentucky Demo-
Gratis to the cause Of the Union. He
took occasion to thank God that, amid
all her loyalty, Kentucky grew Al, 900
Of the finest disloyal sons upon whom
the sun of God has ever fallen" This
is a fine sample of Southern Democrat
ic patriotism.
The decadence of the boiling Re-
publican movement in Boston is be-
coming too palpable to be disguised.
A great majority Of those who went
into it and had a reputation to save
have withdrawn or grown cold, like
Col. Goldman. The last means for re-
vivifying it was the publication of the
second batch of the Mulligan letters,
but that has proved dismal failure
only, and there appears to be no doubt
that the bottom is dropping out rapid
ly. Even the Boston Advertiser has not
mentioned Grover Cleveland's name
editOrially for six weeks. When the
campaign is over and the boilers come
to balance their accounts they will find
that they have acquired a little politi-
cal experience and damaged reputa-
ton by the expenditure of good deal
Of money and energy.-Er.
The resolution Of Col. w. L. An
derson, of /, Cincinnati, to support
Blaine is attracting a good deal Of at
tentiOn in political circles because of
the fact that Mr.. Anderson has been
regarded as a strong Independent Mr..
Anderson has explained his position in
a card to the Commercial Gazette. He
frankly admits that he was one of
Blaine's bitterest enemies at the Chi
cago Convention four years ago, and
gives as his reason for now supporting
him the fact that three wears Of init,
mate friendship with Mr.. Blaine in
Washington dispelled all the objection
he had entertained. Col. Anderson in
speaking Of the Democratic candidate
for the Presidency says: Il can mag
inc a man who does not know Mr..
Blaine voting against him. cannot
imagine man who does know Mr..
Cleveland voting for him."
The following significant passage oc-
ours in the speech of Cassius M. Clay,
recently delivered in Louisville, KY:
''The Solid South wants remuneration
for the War, did not believe it until
it was forced upon me by experience.
My belief is, that if the so-calfed Dem
Ocratic party gets possession of the
Government they will never stop until
they get pay for all the slaves liberated
by the War. Why do I say so? Be-
cause I heard aYowals from them to
this effect time and again. IF
you put the Democrats in power they
will increase the army; and, with the
Solid South atttheir back, what would
hinder them, without the expenditure
Of q single dollar, from going into Re
publican States and maintain their SUI
premacy by force? ] say above board
that the man who advocates force to
obtain power will use force to main
tain power"
Senator Hoar, Of Massachusetts, in
the course of speech he made last
week, made a good point in regard to
the Democratic tendency to avoid ar
guments on principles and to resort to
blackguardism of Republican candi-
dates. sWhen," said he, "the question
was whether slavery should be ex-
stended into the Territories, they met
"our arguments by calling Abraham
eLincoln a baboon. When we had the
question whether the amendment to
"the Constitution should be maintain
led, they answered by saying Grant
twas a drunkard. We had the qpes-
ation whether elections should be free
making all manner Of charges against
Garfield. But the American people.
knew better. They didn't turn their
aattentiOn from these great questions
(which are to determine the history of
"a great people for hundreds Of years,
aor permit themselves to be diverted
aby these petty personal and sPitefal
ISLANDERS, Now the Democratic party
is trying the same thing again"
