POLITICAL NOTE AND GOSSIP.

In the good old Democratic days of 1860 a
pillow cost $12. You can buy as good a one to-
| day for So.
The Republicans of WATERFOWL, N. Y, have
flung out banner forty by fifty feet, and claim
That it is the largest in the State.
| REV. W. F. BLACK, Of Tuscola, ILL.,, denies
report that he intended voting for Blaine and
Logan. Mr.. Black will vote with Mr. Beecher
R. j. BuRDETTE: Grow, my SOM Grow is
the inhuman dish which is eaten by the grovel-
| ing spawn of fetid corruption who vote the
other ticket Which other ticket Any other
ticket
GREAT preparations are being made for the
reception of Blaine and Logan in Cleveland
next FRIDAY evening It is thought that the
demonstration will be one of the largest ever
held in Ohio
Now look out for this sort Of remark: ANY
thing short of 900 majority in Ohio next
month will be a virtual defeat for the Repub-
licans; while to carry less than ifty-nine States
in November will be simply disastrous.
MULLIGAN wrote none of the so-called 'Mul-
ligan letters none Of The letters were written
to Mulligan; but in some unexplained way, they
appear to have come into his possession and he
endeavored to levy blaek-mail on Mr.. Blaine with
the first batch; the second batch he recently sold
to the Democratic managers.
IT is said that the Democratic managers are
preparing to import carloads of Baltimore
roughs into West Virginia to vote for their can
didates next month. In order to cover up their
schemes they are charging that Mr.. S. B. Elkins
is eolonizing colored men along one Of the West
Virginia roads of which he is a director. Among
the directors of the same road are ex-SenatorS
Barnum, of Connecticut, and Davis, of West
Virginia and Senators German and Bayard, who
are active managers of the Democratic cam
paign.
FRANK HIscooK said, several weeks ago, that
the religious and moral people of New York
State would bolt Cleveland to man, and that
the entire church influence, both Catholic and
Protestant, would be against him. Join to this
the revolt of the workingmen, the detection of
the Irish American element and it becomes clear
to every one that New York is absolutely GER
tain for Blaine this fall 1t is no wonder that
the Democrats have decided to make their fight
in Ohio. 1t is the only place they have left to
make fight.
DETROIT Post: On account Of the serious i'll
ness Of his eldest daughter Congressman Horr
of this State, has been obliged to cancel all his
immediate engagements for campaign speeches
He will not leave home while his daughter is in
her present critical condition. There has been
a greater demand for Mr.. Horr's political serv-
ices than for those of any other speaker in the
State No one could regret more than he does the
necessity which compels him for the present to
refuse the numerous applications made to him
for campaign work.
ssYEs,r said John Dyer, of Stamford, Conn,
the other day, Il knew Tom Waller when we
were both 'wharf-rats,' and used often to sleep
on the docks on fish box and he generally gave
me the softest side--the side that had the most
feathers in. knew him well then; and now he
is Governor of Connecticut and am 'chucking
fish, That isn't his name, though, and John
DYER ian't my name; we don't either of us know
GU r names. But that doesn't matter; this is a
great country, and gives the poorest boy CHI ance
if he is only smart and the fat John tossed
another fish into the scales.
PITTsBURG Commercial Gazette: The news
that every employee around the Indiana
State Insane Asylum, an institution whose man
| agement is exclusively Democratic, has been
assessed 10 per cent Of his salary for Democratic
campaign purposes should be broken gently to
| George William Curtis, or his delicate soul NAV
| break its earthly letters and soar to a world
where beings able to answer as high percent
age of St Peters questions as he must be are
| given seats away up, and are never assessed for
! the wherewithal to wage the ceaseiess war
against the powers Of darkness.
FRANK HURD is going to and fro in the Toledo
! (Ohio) district eloquently explaining the beau
ties Of free trade BE is practically divorced
from the Democratic State central committee
which body is filled with dismay by bis radical
utteTanccz, and Mr.. Hurd has no special ad-
miration for the committee and it's methods. He
is charmingly frank with his constituents
answers questions at his meetings, and always
concludes by saying that If he Is elected he Is
