Political Clippings

The party is fnll of Doinocrats yet, but it sbuuld uot be disguised that there is a powerful uiovument in Illinois, if not in uther States borduring it, to nomínate Justice Davisas a Democratie candidate for the Presidenoy. No danger, however ; we will tako it straight this time. - Omaha Herald (Dem.) Gen. Kchunck does not appear to have exculpated himself in his testimouy before the Congressional committee. Ilis statements utterly fail to vindícate him, aud neither afford a suffieiont apology tor his blunder, or even satisfactory evidence that a mere blunder has beun committed. - Pioneer Prens At the Harapton Soldiers' Home, lately, General Martindale, in talking to the veteran boys in blue, spoke kind ly of the Confedérate soldiers. and the tho veterna cheered the sentiment. Every time a thing of this kirtd occurs, it runs a whole speeoh for Mr. Mortau - Cour. ier-Journal. The people have gome reason to hope that Tilden's stieugth will be suöiciont to nomínate him on the tirst ballot.

His name is Tilden. - Ddawire{N. T.) Qazetle Bern.) Last week we hoisted the name of Governor cjamuel J. Tilden, of New York, as our first choice for the Democratie Presidental noraination.

Daniel Drew is a very pious man, and has given largely to religieus objects. On one occasion he put down five thousand dollars to a church charity in Grant.s name, and for a long tim Grant got the credit of it. At the name time Mr. Drew put down a like amount in ChiefJustice Chase's name, but Mr. Chase was of too fine a fiber to allow it to continue so uuon the record. It inst suited Ulynses, however. -
