Political Notes.

That great monopoly, the Standard Oil Company, will feel still stronger il it can elect the Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio, John M. Palmer is sitting behind hu political tombstone, out in Illinois, waiting to see if the resurrection will come next year.— Philadelphia Times. Leading Democrats in Ohio brag that over $200,000 in cash have been contributed by the mossback, rag-baby, Bourbon and fire-in-the-rear alliance of that State. There is more unadulterated fight in the Republican party than in any other which ever existed in our country. When things look blackest we begin to pull ourselves together and “whoop her up,” and the first thing the Democrats know they are flat on their backs as usual, and the Republicans in for four years more.— Anderson (Iowa) Herald. Voters have no faith in the party that tries to get office by tricks and dodges, evasions and concealments. They reason, and, rightly; that such a party is either a mere conspiracy of greedy spoils-grabbprs, or that it has dark designs which it does not dare to avow. Probably half *a million voters will vote against the Democratic party for no other reason than this, that it brands itself as unworthy of confidence by the tricks and evasions to which it reßorts.— New York Tribune.
