The Chicaqo Times publishes an interview
with Gov Tilden which be says he considers the cleo
ton Of the Democratic ticket IN this State the most re-
markabe victory for Reform which has happened In
our political history
The Cincinnati Gazette begins to waver in
It's defense OF Minister scheDck. IL now; Gen,
schenek has made his record II Ia before the pubic
and upon II he IA TO be Judged II be tells the truth he
yictm but the fact that he permitted his name to be
used a. American Minister In connection with tho ven
ture WAS 10 say the least great mistake. II may have
than mistake; but this muoh We are not pro
pared to say"
Two more Illinois Congressman have been
sounded on current political questions Mr.. Farweu
says in favor Of retiring one million In paper money
every month Mr. John g. Bagby, vino elected as an
Independent in the XVIII District says he IA Tor an
early resumption Of specie payments and Tor the bst
man for Speaker His currency creed IL sound and brief;
There are courses to pursue-to pay our debts
honestly repudiae. aud no sane man can lhuoSo tS
latter method"
Ex-Congressman Philetus Sawyer Of Wiscon-
ain thinks the dele alton from his state will support Mr.
Kerr for Speaker that no will be elected As for tho
Chicaqo Post and vail that both parties will be glad 10
dodge 1t during the Presidential campaign and he Is con-
ynced that IL the best way 10 treat the matter since
specie payment will come In due time. and 1t does nc
help matters any effect stringent measures concerning
IT," Mr. Sawyer thinks Mr. Blaine has the best chance
Tor the Presidency now, but s0me new man may pusA
him off the track.
Not much of defense of the Emma Mine
business is this The Cevetd,d Herald: ave do not
believe Gen Schenck would wrong man ont OF dime,
or that he would swindlc Englishman or o Yankee
and yet it IL difficult believe he could be heeced Tho
truth probably that relying upon men supposed to bo
honest he thought there was big thing in the Emma
Nine and did not stop reflect upon the improperly Of
engaging In IL while occupying one Of the most dignhed
official positions In the gilt Of Government With
cheucks beraity In expenditure and his unfortunate
propensty 10 play big pools, he must always need
small mine OF silver aud gold, and be thought no had
struck the vein in the Emma Nile Ihs heasd echoes
old and general belief that Minister ScheLcA Ii above
common and intentional s|lndlng.
The Democratic press seems inclined to give
warm support to Nr. Blane's public-schooi amend
ment The Cincinnati Enquirer, which has had ex
perience tho agitation Of the school question I'm
politics SAYS We are Familiarity acquainted 10 any
State a minority OF whose people arc lying awake at
night longing for Established Church. and We do not
regard the danger of such church imminent Mr
Blaines proposed amendment is as harmless dove
but it Is as necessary which should forbid tho
states to prevent water from running up hill Nearly all
OF tho States have already incorporated in their state
Constitutions exactly tho doctrine with that
tanned in this proposed amendment. This amendment
would command an immense majority on popular vote
It might burden the Constitution needlessly and 1t
might be cgared impairment toward the states, but
very few people would vote against it,"
There il little reason to doubt that there *
a large element in both political parties in favor of
lodging the currency question in the next Presidential
campaign. The rag baby assumes mammoth proportions
in the eyes these compromisers and trimmers Fear
Ing the dscendency OF these party councils, Inc
Christian Union says: Whatever the Democrats may
do we trust the Republican members OF both Houses
" H. with few individual exceptions, present united
front in favor OF honest currency Any failure in this
direction their part will he to plunge the party
into disgrace and defeat We hope the President in HIS
message will speak potential word this important
subec-a word that shall Gispe false views aud rally
the honest men both parties the right ground wo
arc not without apprehension that both Democrats aud
Republicans may attempt TO eyade this question aud 10
dsraceul and demurizng. and lead 10 difficulties Tar
greater than those which now exist"
The project for the repeal of the Tamnany
charter Does not strike Tie Nation being great i'm
portance IL says AS the only benefit tine Association
derives from the charter is the power Of holding small
amount OF estate, the foudness with which Of
our cOtenporaIe5 dwelling this scheme has some
thing very curious about 1t. The withdrawal Of the
charter would not kill the Association indeed nurc 10
materially The members would get somebody 10 hold
their property trust and continue their sinful ways
lust as bcforc-elccting delegates holding meet
ngs.' and pulng wires, and making bad nominations,
and setting up bosses in the old STYLE Does 1t

Tarnmauy lies u it's charter but in The number OF
votes IL contrul.l By the bye why do hear more
from the r,formcrs about John Morr'ssey What work
