Political Notes.

Mb. Dobsey is satisfied that his exprivate secretary, Rerdell, is not a sight just now good for sore eyes. Ex-Speaker Randall’s inconsistent course on the tariff question and his frequent dodging of votes is making him no friends either among the protectionists or free traders. Iff the South especially the expressions of disgust are pronounced. The Republican party in New York, it appears, need expect no backing and support from the President. It is reported that Senator Warner Mill elcalled at the Executive Mansion, the other day, to discuss methods of effecting a reconciliation of the various factions of New York Republicans. To his surprise, the President declared himself indifferent to the situation in his State, and said that he had done all he intended to do to promote harmony and good feeling. He said, moreover, that he was determined to let political matters run as they might, and to take it easy for the rest of his term. It is evident that Mr. Arthur has no political aspirations. His determination to let Eolitics alone should fill the party with ope and encouragement. It will be bad news for the Democrats. Senator Tabor has made a speech. When the Senate passed its Tariff bill he raised his two hands high in air and shouted “Good.” It was the greatest effort of his life. Senatorships came very high in Colorado and Nevada, the : bonanza States, where bonanza kings j compete for the privilege of crowning a lucky “strike” with political honors. It would be interesting to know just liow much Senator Tabor paid for the privilege of uttering those four letters in the sanctuary of Sumner, Seward and Webster. The Senate Tariff bill protects lead, and Tabor is a great producer of lead, which is a refuse product of his silver mines. The philosopher who said speech was silver, but silence was golden, did not know Tabor. Whether vocal or mute, he is always. leaden. . The Tariff bill was “good” for him, and he knows that kind of a good thing when he sees it. y Almost any millionaire knows enough to be a “good” Senator of Tabor’s kind. — Chicago Tribune.
