What the Papers Say.

certainly. But WASN'T there, once
on time, a sergeant-at-arms nam
ed Ordway?
Cincinnati Saturday Night: We
don't want any more President like
Babcock. Orville Babcock has made
the worst President this country
has ever had.
Pittsburg Post: 1t is all a mis-
take to assume that the Cincinnati
Enquirer is a disorganizing journal;
it says it is willing to harmonic
with all who agree with it. How
serene!
Richmond { Va.) State: st. Louis
must drop Ohio, Ohio men and Ohio
ideas-that is our alternative; or st
Louis must 60 into the canvass with
New York, Connecticut and New
Jersey already lost; that is the other.
Neso York San: Attempting to
beat Tilden in the St. Louis Conven-
ton is the same thing as attempt
ing to nominate Hendricks. 1t lies
between these two. The idea of
taking up a new man and nominal
ing him, is something impracticable.
Philadelphia Inquirer { Rep): Fitz
hugh is not obnoxious because he
may have been perjurer, thief
and cOnspirator. His crime lies
in writing a "foolish letter." To
turn him out for making a fool OF
himself is to establish dangerous
precedent.
Ne,o York San: The Democratic
platform set up at st. Louis must
either look toward good money or
look toward defeat. When the green
hackers are beaten, let them bolt
and run Uncle Bill Allen for their
candidate. We suppose that is
what they mean to do.
Detroit Free Press, (Dem:) The
Democracy can win this year with
out Ohio; it cannot win, with Ohio,
burdened with Bill Allen and a soft
money platform; and the party will
move along much more easily and
accomplish much more by letting
the Bill Allenites of Ohio fight their
own battles.
i Nescark Journal Dem.) The prin-
ciples Of the Democratic party are
the same to day as they were three.
quarters of century ago, when,
with the illustrious jefferson as its
feader, it strangled the Federalist
forefather of the present rotten
and putrid thing which makes its
name a misnOrlner.
| Chicago Courier (Democratic):
1t is not so important to the Amer
lean people what kind of money
they have, as it is that that money
is not stolen by official thieves, and
squandered by official profigates.
Settle the question Of honesty, and
the question Of gold or greenbacks
can be very easily disposed of.
| Ne,o York San: Notwithstand
ing all that has been brought on,
against Brother Blaine, there are
those who talk of nominating him
as the Republican candidate fol
President. Very good. If it should
be done, we should not shed teal
over it. With such a nomination
it would not be necessary to wait
for the election to know the result.
San Francisco Cal (Rep:) Thous
ands of Republicans would vote fol
Tilden as opposed to almost any
other prominent Republican aspi
rant than Bristow, and Democrat.
all over the country would vote fol
Bristow should their own party nonl
mate man less distinctively asso
ciated with the work OF reform. Thl
great mass of Independent voters
would vote for either of these can
didates should but one be placed il
nomination.
Louisville Courier Journal dem:
A ticket composed of Tilden anC
Thurman would be the most power
full in America, If the ambition O.
friends could make the necessary
concessions. It is clear that New
York, with her five millions of PEG
pie, is indispensably necessary to 8
Democratic victory; and if Ohio
should aid with Thurman, or Mis-
fsouri with Brodhead, for seconl
place, the nomination would strike
terror into the disorganized ranks
Of the Republicans.
