In a general way the most
decided opposition to it may
be said to come from Republi-
can papers. 1The New York
Times and Tribune take very
positive ground against it as
unconstitutional % "a Republi-
can surrender" etc.
The Herald warmly indors-
es it and is confident that pa
triotic men in all parts of the
country will be disposed to see
merits and pass over detects
in the plan, if defects it should
prove to have. The World
does not give unqualified in
dorsement to the plan, but
thinks the country will
hail with delight any action
on the part OF Congress which
goes to show that the fright
ful condition of the people is,
at last, getting itself recogni-
zed BY the persons who are
sent to Washington TO look at
Ter the welfare of their CON
stituents and of the Republic,
The New York Express
Dem thinks the plan will
prove peaceful solution OF the
greatest political evil that has
ever threatened the country
apart from the civil war. The
New York Post says the plan
will give great satisfaction to
the country, and that the wis
est course for the Senate and
House OF Representatives is to
adopt it as it comes from the
committees without delay. The
Philadelphia Telegraph Qnd.)
thinks the plan is one that will
give entire satisfaction to all
fair minded men OF all parties.
The Boston Herald Qud. says
the country wants peace, and
the sooner a plan of this kind
is adopted the better.
The Springfield Republican
Qnd.) thinks the plan will com
mand the support OF the coun-
try, and more SO If a Republi-
can like Morton or a Democrat
like Springer dissents from it.
The Baltimore papers, withaut
division of party, give moderate
favor TO the plan. In Washing
ton the party papers all oppose
it, the Republican and Chronicle
on the Republican, side and the
Union on the Democratic side.
The Nation Qnd.) .favors it.
