PUBLIC OPINION.
The President Fortunate in His Enemies.
t.Lous Globe-D Democrat, Rep
It is now said that ex- Secretary Robe
son has been selected to lead the oppo-
sition to Hayes in New Jersey. IL
Hayes is unfortunate in his friends ha
is exceptionally fortunate In his enc
miles.
The Republican Party Dead.
Utica Observer, Rep
Iowa has spoken. Blaine and Cham
berlain and Packard have echoed the
sentiments OF the strongest Republican
State In the Union. Pennsylvania and
Ohio have sounded a warning voice.
The Republican party is split into
pieces.
silver ana Gold.
fCharleston News and Courier, Den.l
Politics are politics, but they can't
make silver as valuable as gold, or bene-
fit the country by anytaction that, near
as we are to hard-pan, will postpone in
definitely the resumption of gold pay
ments, to which the country is looking.
The Louisiana Question.
[Baltfmors Suu1
It had been fondly supposed that we
had the last Of the Louisiana business
Ia Congress. We have been congratu-
lating ourselves too soon. 1t Is all to be
raked up again from the beginning.
The wrongs OF Louisiana will again be-
the fruitful text for the contending par
ties in Congress to descant upon, and in
the discussion over the settlementof the
Louisiana question will the opposers
and the upholders Of the Presidents
policy make their big fight.
Annexation of Canada.
New York Star.l
Is it intended as sop to the Senator
from Maine, or to throw, the American
people off the guard Oh the Mexican
question: or is the latest idea Of
making the annexation Of Canada q
popular question to keep the Republican
party In power? IL is evident that both
the Administration and Mr.. Blaine are
keep, II possible, their party alive.
Ohio VIII Not IndOrse Hayes.
ISt. Louis Timesl
the people and the Administration,
and the Republican party In Ohio
may be expected to place itself In op-
position to Hayes. In fact, the only
difference on this. point will be In the
extent OF their opposition to the Admin
istration. A demand will doubtless be
made that the 80 called Southern policy
Of Hayes shall be ind0rsed; but the
holding Of the convention In Cleveland
seems likely to settle the question
against such Endorsement, and the
chances are that the Ohio Republican
Convention will prove such wet
blanket as will put an effectual damper
on the hopes of Hayes.
The Presidents visit south,
[Augusta ChronicIe.1
We desire the President to come
arong us In order that he may meet
not the politicians, not the place-hunts
ers, not the Office holders-but the peo-
pie Of the South. Such a meeting can
not fail to be Of benefit to the South and
people whom he only knows through
the Northern presses and a few public
men; the people of the South will see q
President against whom they cast solid
vote at the polls, but who since his In
auguration has shown himself wise
and polite ruler, a just and generous
man. We promise @ cordial welcome.
Let him travel from Washington to New
Orleans and see the country and the
people Of the South.
1t VIII Not be Blaine In 1850.
ILinchburg Virginian.]
Hayes, IL he continues as he has be-
gun, will make it impossible for any man
OF Blaine's political bias and bitter SEC
tional animosities to reach the Presi-
dency, and. whether the Democrats or
Republicans succeed In 1880, a conserva-
tive man will be President, and 1t is
needless to say he will not be James G..
Blaine or any Of that class Of poll
Kentucky Patriotism.
[Courier-Journa'.l
The people Of this country will not, i'm
the long run, be cheated either out of
their Republic or their affections. There
is no longer any real antagonism be-
tween the sections OF the Union. The
country will not allow Mr.. Blaine or
else to raise any. tits the pur-
pose OF this generation, standing on
things as they exist, to wipe out as to
The past and start fresh in the futnre
pursuit OF sectional fellowship and ma
,ional glory.
Blaine Losing Ground Daily.
Hartford journal and Courier.l
II the utteranees OF the press of the
and the conversations which
ire to be heard everywhere on the
streets, are correct index Of public sem
who will say that they are
not?-the President is to-day upheld
and supported by the masses OF the
people, while Mr.. Blaine and his band
of brilliant and ambitious sore-heads
Ire losing ground daily and hourly.
There is no doubt about it; the nation
ndorses the Presidents course. It
matters little what party precedent may
demand in times and under circum-
stances like the present.
