POLITICAL NOTES.

The Democratic party has big
enough load to carry now without
Juggling Tilden along.
Henri Watterson has elected
himself to stay at home with his
100, 600 Kentuckians, rather than
attend the National Convention.
Ex-senator J. E. Mcdonald is
assounced as candidate for the
Presidency by the Indiana Demo-
cratic Association at Washington
City. He admits that this is graf
flying to him, but will not talk.
And now another close personal
friend of the late lamented Samuel
j., one John j. Priest, ofSt. Louis,
arises and says: 81 don't believe
he wants it, l think he would ac-
cept. l think he could stand the
pressure at the White House." Oh
don't bother the old man, let him
alone.
1t is idle to talk of free trade in
this country. There is about as
much probability in discussing it
as there would be in discussing the
question of re-establishing slavery
in the South. The thing is an alb
surdity. The Ohio platform gives
US all the free trade that this coun-
try is prepared for. - Augusta
Chronicle and Constituencies,
Dem.
There is one line in which nc
one denies that President Arthur
has been a great success. He has
done the White House courtesics
and hospitalities to perfection. No
within the memory of the presen
generation have the social dutie!
of the head of the nation been per
formed with such elegance and per
feet propriety as now.-Bostor

Delegates from New York to Chicago

New York, April 1S.-The re

t ries here in the twenty-three AS

of the 1G delegates will be Arthur
men, and probably all of the IL.
That is, they will be nominally
Arthur men. They will gor for him
if there is hope of nominating him.
and if not, it is pretty certain that
they will be found on the side OF
the winning man, whoever he may
be. They are bound to be SOLID
with the nominee if shrewd wire
pulling can put them there, wheth-
er that man is Arthur or some very
dark horse.

HOW THE BATTLE WENT.

In accordance with the general
custom the TIMES produces the ira
ditional rooster to celebrate the
victory gained on Tuesday. The
introduction into the campaign of
tie Republican State ticket mater
tally reduced the majority the reg
lylars would otherwise have had.
but the majo rity is sufficient for all
practical purposes, and is large
enough to prevent any doubt of its
Bcing genuine. The anti-regulars
will no doubt hatch up some ex-
ouse for contest, all through the
campaign they have never been at
q loss for an excuse for any course
thcy chose TO pursue. Their ac'
!ions can be properly represented
briefly by
Madison times. (Tallulah, Madison Parish, La.) 1884-1???, 1884-04-26
ELECTION METHODS.

ELECTlON MEL
1t is TO be hoped that the bray
ing about the white ticket, and the
howl about seeking the negro vote
will now be let severely alone. The
side from which the most clack on
these two subjects came, was the
side which produced the men who
rcsorted to every method they
could conceive of to carry the cleo
ton. The infinite variety of tick
cts to be seen on election day were
sent out from that side of the house.
The regulars put out one ticket,
they did just what they said they
were going to do, nothing more,
nothing less. The names on that
ticket were the names that they
said would be the names, weeks
before. Not change was made,
not a man sacrificed. We have
kent our word as we have always
done, and always intend doing.
The party charged with bad faith
and deception, and no one knows
what besides heve stood firm,
shown no bad faith, deceived no
one.
Now take a look across the hall
on the other side Of the house.
Take the Mcclellan tickets, there
is the Mcclellan Stevenson ticket
that has the same district ticket as
the regulars, and Brown and Wat
son for Representatives, and Lane
for Clerk. There is the Mcclellan
McEnery ticket with Scale for
Judge. Montgomery for Senator,
Ransdell for Attorney, Brown and
Hawkins for Representatives and
Lane for Clerk, then there is the
Mcclellan McEnery straight white
ticket with Montgomery, Scale
and Hawkins, with BOney and
Harvey for Representatives and
Lane for Clerk, and finally the
same ticket down to Justice of the
Peace when the white line is bro
ken and w. E. Jones appears for
J. P. and w. H. Phillips for Con-
stable.
Then comes the Kelly-Steven-
son ticket, Mcmillan Senator,
Boncy and Brown Representatives
Scale Judge, Hawkes. Attorney and
Clarke Clerk, followed by the Kel'
lcy-McEncry ticket, Montgomery
Senator, Scale Judge Hawkes. At
torney, Lane Clerk, but the varie
ty is almost endless. 1t appear.
to have been sort of drop game
all the way through with the op'
position; when a candidate was too
heavy load he was unceremon
iously chucked overheard, ther
2 : s-nie other candidate would be to-
weighty, and over he went, in shor
there seems to have been bad faitl
all around except on the sid
of the regulars. They stood firm
and carried all the cargo they start
ed with, and you see the result ant
you can see also where are the mel
you can depend on. They neve
break apromise nor betray friend

Heney Wa.tarson's Little Inconsis'
tencies.

1t is susceptible of proof before
court of justice that Henry Waiter
son left the Confederate army be-
fore the war was over; that he went
within the Federal lines at Mem
phis; from there he went North
and wrote editorials for the most
bitter and ferocious of all the radl-
cal papers; that he returned to the
South after the war, denounced the
Democratic party as "dead and rot
ting above ground" that he advo-
Gated soft money, and then de-
nounced those who followed him;
that he voted for and spoke for the
Electoral Commission and then
abused others who likewise sup
ported it, declaring that "the we'll
informed" knew all the time of the
conspiracy" and that "the dice,
were loaded" that he advocated
free trade and then solemnly as
serted that he had never done so
in private or in public; that in less
than two weeks he again advocated
free trade and ordered everybody
who..did.nota agree with him to leave
the party, and that during the two
months preceding the Cincinnati
Democratic Convention both he
andHalderman pledged themselves
and their paper to support Grant
for third term should Tilden not
be nominated at Cincinnati and
Grant secure the nomination OF the
Republicans at Chicago.-Louis-

Growth Of hair the scribe accostcd
him and the mystery was revealed.
The hair so smooth and glossy,
so apparently fresh from the
barber, was paint, mere paint,
but SO artistically laid on as to not
be distinguished from the genuine
article even upon a close inspec-
ton. Following the matter up the
reporter was conducted to the sec
ond floor of small house on Fourth
avenue where he made the ac-
duaintance of small active man
who declared himself to be the par
tv who transformed the baldheads
into the hair covered craniums.
The Professor said he was orig
inally a portrait painter and sub
sequcntly wigmaker, and it one
day occurred to him to try and
paint some hair on q baldhead as
he had aforctime painted it on can
yass. Notwithstanding the piou'
reverence with which he regarded
his grandfather, and determined tt
prove a benefacter to the human
race he decided to sacrifice hi!
grandfather if necessary, in the in
terests of art, and persuaded thu
confding old gentlemen to permit
him the use of his head for the ex
pertinent. The experiment proved
a complete success, and the arts
concluded to devote himself EN-
tirely to that line of art. He ha
already embellished some head
in New York, and anticipates
large business. He announce
himself in plain letters on the doc
of his studio "Artist in Bald" ant
can furnish any color of hair de
sired, from the palest blonde t.
the most intense black.
Therefore it is that the career Q
the baldhead is over. He will be
come extinct, defunct, obsolete. Il
his stead arises the young old mai

The red and shiny pate is super
coded by the wavy crown, an

Kelly, the motor man, has again
failed to come to time. He says
he never authorized the statement
that he would be ready to give an

aver that the generator will never

The TIMES has frequently quoted
Joe Mulhattan, and as he is just
beginning to acquire fame sample
of his genius is given to show what
sort of yarn manufacturer he is.
Genius is always acknowledged by
the TINES and welcomed into the
field of literature, and Joe will

The Rock of the Sun.

pleuro Pneumonia in 1llinois.

The Chicago Breeders Gazette says: At
last the unwelcome IL ath is forced upon us that
contagious pleuro-pneumonia has found s
Judgement in the prairies Of Illinois. The ey-
idence of its baleful presence innot less than
five Jersey herds IN Illinois is overwhelming,
and grave fears are felt that the extent Of the
infection has only dawned upon us. In view
of these developments the following order has
been issued:

ed States: Owing TO the existence of a dis

by animals sold at Virginia, Cass com-

animals were widely distributed through
out the Western States. IL is hoped,
therefore, that persons owning cattle trac-
ing to this sale, and all others having cat
tie affected with disease of the lungs, will at
once communicate with DIR. De Salmon, chief
Of the bureau Of animal industry, care Of
