POLITICAL NOTES.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer, the most
ably uncdited organ Of the democratic
party in the west, has taken a great
fancy TO Gov. Hill of late.
Gov. HmL's visit to Ohio signifies very
clearly that he does not share the inn
preston that Grover Cleveland is going
TO be the next democratic candidate for
president.
Mr.. CLEvELAND's observations with
regard TO the election were chiefly nota-
bic for what they did not tell concerning
his attitude on the question of Tammany
rule in New York.
THE best Endorsement of Speaker
Reeds quorum-counting policy is TO BE-
found in the fact that he draws larger
crowds than any other man who is talk
Ing politics this year.
THE democratic conspiracy TO raise the
prices Of all the necessarieS of life in or
der to gain political advantage has
never been surpassed for deliberate and
contemplate cussedness.
THE democrats voted against the bill
cutting the duties on lumber and binding
Irvine and putting sugar on the free list.
This is one of the reasons why they are
asking the farmers TO vote the demo-
cratic ticket.
THE cry of high prices is not as loud
as il was few weeks ago, for the sim
pie reason that the prices are as low as
they were before the new tariff was pass
ed, rs anybody can see by reading the
advertisements
II Ananias were alive now he would,
after reading a COurier-JOu1ndl article
on the effects Of the Mckinley bill, walk
up to the editors room and say: mir.
Watterson, take my hat. l find / am
only an amateur"
ACCORDING TO Carl Schurz, chat eco
monte policy is best which works best"
He does not submit this remark as a vim
dication of the protective tariff system,
but IL can be very APPLY and forcibly APP
piled in that relation.
Gov. Hills chances for the presidency
have been materially lessened by his re-
cent stumping tour. He made a grave
mistake, that is TO say, i'm not concealing
the fact that he is one of the poorest
public speakers in the country.
CUBA has already begun to ask for rec
| iprOcity with the United States, and
other foreign countries will do the same
in the near future; and yet the demo-
Gratis proclaim that the new tariff law is
calculated to diminish our exports.
Mr.. ROOSEVELT contributed $50 TO the
republican campaign fund, thus recog-
ni2ing the important fact that civil sery-
| ice reform has not yet reached the point
where political virtue can get along with
out money TO circumvcnt the powers of
| darkness.
ACCORDING to careful calculation about
! thirty seats in the house of representa-
! tives have been stolen from the republic
cans in the Southern states through
| democratic bulldozing and fraud. OF
course the same thing will take place
| this year. This is one Of the drawbacks
which the republicans Of the country
| have 10 contend against always, but they
manage TO triumph over il occasionally,
nevertheless.
THE republican conspiracy against
| silver" which the democrats are howl
/ ing about. has advanced the price of
| that metal 20 the extent OF 10 cents an
ounce at present rates, and will undoubt-
edly push it much higher. The friends
OF silver and the business interests OF
the country. which are benefited by the
narrowing Of the gap between silver and
gold, can stand conspiracies OF this sort.
