POLITICAL NOTES.

Ohio is not a keystone State. Allen lost it in 1875, but Tilden swept the country in 1876. Ewing has lost Ohio in 1879, but , the Democratic candidate for President, will sweep the country in 1880, and will not be counted out, either.— Boston Post. In pursuance of not only the effort, but the combination organized to whoop up a Bayard Presidential “boom,” Senator Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, has written a letter to a friend in this city, in which he says that the present aspect of politics appears to him to suggest the nomination of. Bayard and McDonald as the Democratic ticket for 1880. — Washington Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer. The latest development in the New York Tilden and Kelly imbroglio is that Kelly is to get the control of the politics of New York ci y from the Cornell Republicans in case Cornell is elected. It is charged that the bargain is similar to that consummated at one period by a faction of the New York Republican party with Tweed, and by which he was enabled to perpetuate his enormous robberies. Can there be truth in these charges?— Chicago News (Bep).

The New York Tri dune has been delighted with the downfall of Mr. Thurman. The defeat of no other man in public life could have so pleased the proprietor of that concern, Mr. Jay Gould. He is in the Union Pacific for the purpose of making the most of it, to j the disadvantage of the United States; but Thurman persistently urged his bill, and finally secured its passage, compelling the company to create a sinking fund from its earnings for the discharge of its obligations to the Government. This he did in the face of Jay Gould’s shameless lobby. Just as Jay Gould’sorgan is rejoicing that Thurman’s political career will soon be ended there comes the decision of the Supreme Court that the Thurman law is constitutional. It will be enforced, therefore, greatly to the disgust of the Go ild crowd, who will find that Thurman survives sufficiently to make them do the honest thing. Williams, the African who was elected a member of the Ohio Legislature in Hamilton county, accompanied Charley Foster to New York the other day, intending to engage with him in a canvass of the State in the interest of Cornell, Conkling and Canonchet. He was received by the Republican managers with chilling civility and sent to a hotel, where he was told to remain until his services were needed. The clerks, regardless 'of the Civil Rights law andjthe failure of the wiping out programme, assigned their Senegambian guest a room near the eaves, where he was informed he might also eat, the dining-room being reserved exclusively for the played-out Caucasian. When the full force of this Southern outrage was appreciated by the honorable moke from Ohio, he picked up his consumptive grip-sack and staited for a restaurant, inveighing bitterly against the house in which he could not be treated as a gentleman. He and his brother stumpers will make the Robin-son-Tilden faction suffer for this when they warm up to their work.— Chicago Times.
