ABOUT P0hIrics AND PoLlTIeIANs.

same remark from MIR. Grant Would
take tons off the party mind.
John Kelley, New York politician, has
brought an action against the Times for
!ibels published during the late political
campaign. The. "model journalism" of
New York is not good model for any
other city. Perhaps Mr.. Kelley may be
able to show how it might be improved.
The English papers are coming to us
filed with comments upon our recent
fall elections. They are about as much
divided in views as to the causes of the
results, and as to their effects upon the
future, as our own party newspapers at
home are. Each one has his own way
Iof accounting for the milk in the cocoa
nut.
| The Louisville Courier. Journal Dem
ocrat tells how things must be hereaf-
ter, saying:-
| "Men like the venerable Governor of Ohio
Imust be reminded that it is better to be con-
| sIstent both upright and elevated. Men like
Sam Cary must be taught to know and to Keep
| their places among the potwallopers. Men
| ike GenllclOn anu EfenurlC@S must Dc WdTieu
| against too close acompanionship with Butler,
and Philips, and Kelley, even upon ques tlons
Of finance"
Harper's Weekly talks to Its Re-
publican friends ''like Dutch UNCLE"
saying:-
"The result Of the recent elections was due
mainly to the conviction that reform is accom-
plshing itself within the Republican party.
II this conviction should prove to be unlounded,
the Democrats will elect their President next
year. Ii the sposmen, the "bummers," the
0ficenolding interest should be seen to be in
control, the contest will be already decided. A
candidate nominated by that interest can not
be elected Presi9ent."
The contest over the Speakership oil
the House Of Representatives is becom-
ing very lively. The candidacy is yir-
! tually reduced to four, Randall, Kerr,
Wood, and Cox. Randall seems to be
foremost and Cox hindmost. Randall
has some salary grab and mobilier stock
to carry, which makes him little heavy
and Cox is the "Sunse" orator who
said:-
"Who remembers the logic OF arithmetic when
down the deep Iambc lines the cothurn treads
majestic, full OF mock and tumid tropes? Who
when chorus OF Baccliantes sing the dyth.
ramb Of wild and intoxicating frolicsomeness.'
Such oratory makes members think
Cox little too light. So the probabili
ties are in favor Of Kerr.

lican candidate for the Presidency will be {
