THE PUBLIC PRINTING AND THE ORGAN OF TIL
PARTY AT WASHINGTON. .-.-.

a
The Chicago Times concurs with the Cincinnati Enquirer
in the opinion that the public printing of Congress ought
be given to the editor of the paper in Washington
city recognised the organ of the administration By
way o. illustrating its position the Times says that there
democratic journals such the Ohio States
man. Boston Post Nashville Union and Others which per-
formed times much service in the late canvass as the
Union Hence suppose the inference is intended to be
drawn that the public printing ought to have been given
some one all of these journals
The Times does appreciate the services of the papers
named highly than do, shall we controvert
the assertion that each Of them did service than
the Union in the late campaign We suppose if the editor
of the Times had not been prevented by his modesy he
would have included his paper in the list and if he
had should have cheeruly admitted the value of his
services.
But we must not be understood admitting that the
Times does justice to the Unionpartcularly we have
had abundant evidence from all quarters that our abors
have been avorably viewed by others equally
peent TO Judge the editor Of the Times During the
canvass the Union published campaign matter original
and selected which, in book FORM would make octave
volumes Of seven hundred pages EACH and those materials
freely and extensively copied by the democratic pa
pers throughout the country Others have assured us
that campaign articles proved highly serviceabe in
the contest We regret that they so regarded by
the editor Of tho Times
In addition to the campaign matter which appeared in
the several editions of the Union may be pardoned for
saying that the Union establishment printed over ten thou
sand dollars worth of documents which were
In the canvass and for which not cant ao
mas oeen received documents were eagerly sought
IN N WJS
o' 'nu ey disseminated, and have understood that
they proved very servceablc in advancing the democratic
cause We sorry however that the editor of the Times
cannot in this of the value of the services OF
the Union establishment
But the ostensibe object Of the Times is to sustain the
idea that the organ ofthe Executive ought be ndepen
emit of Congress in other words that the democratic organ
at Washington ought to be exclusively executive
as II the democratic policy and principles of President
and the democratic members Of Congress were so anago-
nsc that the executive organ should be independent of
Congress and remain in position to assail democratic
members Of Congress whenever might suit the
We think the idea is simply absurd and originates in de-
sire to participate in the printing patronage of Congress
We take 1t for granted that the democratic members of the
next Congress will look to the interests of the party in de-
Gliding this question: and to them we readily leave the
matter.
