Chief Justice Church has been nomi
mated by somebody for President at least
500 times. He always has been, and al
wavs will be. held in majestic reserve
Cincinnati Commercial.
1t would be bitter satire on Republic
can government if, in the Presidential
election of the centennial year, the party
which labored TO destroy the government
should he entrusted with its administra
tion.-Indianapolis Journal.
The present trouble with independent
politicians is that they are working, and
maneuvering, and intriguing all the
while to fill place that never has been,
nor will be, vacant. Of course. then,
they are unsuccessful. and fruitful only
of mischevious results.-.S. Louis Times.
John c. breckenridge is dead, and he
leaves the saddest history of all the men
of his time. Others have hoped, and
erred, and failed, but none climed 50
high in the morning of a life of brightest
promise, to fall so hopelessly.-Phladel-
phia Times.
Bristow is looming MP as a Presiden-
tial candidate. His whisky raid shows
that he is man of spirit, but he is not
to he gagged by that alone. If he has
the pluck to prosecute the Ring robbers,
he will prove formidable competitor for
the Presidential championship .-Minne-
apo,;s Tribune.
We doubt if there is another man in
the United States who would make a
better President than Henry Wilson, and,
if his health had not failed after his ex-
traordinary labors in the last campaign,
he would now be the most formidable
candidate in the field.-NeU York hide
pendent.
Conceding Mr.. Adams all the requis-
lite gifts and virtues, we find him desti-
tute of the right mood, and therefore not
a fit man for the station his friends indi-
cate for him. Should he be nominated
by the Radical party through the pres
sure of the independent voters" he
would get about as many votes as there
are leaves on the trees in November
Troy Press.
Should the Liberal experiment be
tried again next year-which is extreme
ly improbable-the principal candidates
will be Charles Francis Adams, of Mas
sachusetts, and Judge Davis and Gov.
Palmer of Illinois. The former is the
best fitted for the position. the latter is
the most popular, personally, while the
Judge has the most money, and, perhaps,
the fewest enemies.-Albany Express.
The Republican party contains all the
possibilities of reform; it contains the
popular intelligence which demands good
government. 1t contains the bulk of
those elements to which craftsmanship
can appeal with confidence. 1t is the
only party that holds out to intelligent
American manhood a way for taking a
manly, intelligent, and independent part
in the great business of government by
the people.-C Cincinnati Gazette.
The State of Louisiana is the political
Banquo whose ghost returns every now
and then to mar the feast of the Repub-
lican leaders as they fatten on the spoils
of Office. Even when they most iiatter
themselves that this body polite is at
last safely slowed away with the "twenty
trenched gashes on its head" there arises
some accusing Nemisis to tax them with
their wrong doing. if not to push them
from their stOols.-FranE Leslie's Illus
traled Newspaper.
