WHAT THE PAPERS SAX.

BLAINE WEAKNEss.--Blaine's cam
paign in the west did not help the cause
at all. In Ohio it is the judgment OF
those in whom we have confidence, Mr..
Blaine was a Weakness Cincinnati
Commercial.
HAYES AND PAcKARp.-Hayes would
as soon cut his throat, or relinquish his
grasp upon his salary, as to arouse Pack
ard to state of indignation where he
would reveal the damning crimes that
made Hayes President, and hence he is
anxious to get him out OF the way by a
process that will place the responsibility
elsewhere, no matter on whom In
dianapolis Sentinel.
A STING FOR HAYEs,-To those advi-
sers of President Hayes who have led
the way in the abandonment of the Re-
publican party in the South the words OF
Chamberlain must be like the sting of an
adder KennebeC Journal, Rep.
AN ITEM.-Among the items of the Re-
publican robbery in South Carolina. in
the proceeds of which Chamberlain shar-
ed, was the fraudulent issue of $l4 ,000-
900 in State bonds, for which the State
received no equivalent.-L Louisville
Courier.Journal.
A SoFT GRUdBLE,-We are not required
to enter upon an elaborate comparison
of the two policies that were open TO the
President. We simply indicate the pat
ent, inexorable fact that the course ad.
opted is not one over which the loyal
heart of the republic rejoices, however
strongly its judgment may approve
Rochester Democrat, Rep.
ONE CoMFoRT.-It is a source of great
satisfaction to learn that the notion-ped-
ding Louisiana commission has not in
terfered with the status q,lO. If Louisi-
ana should lose her status quo, it is very
imp lobable that she would ever be able
to find another. 1t is true that Ohio and
number of other Northern States con-
trive to exist without a status quo, but
those unfortunate communities have
never enjoyed this last and best of bles-
sings of civilization.-[St. Louis Times.
BLAINE KNEW WHAT He WAS TALKING
ABoUT.-Senator Blaine knew what he
was talking about He knew just what
the country knew-that the white liver
has got hold of a majority of the Boston
press to degree that makes it the mere
servant of expediency. 1t is true that
this disease has national existence, but
the acute sore is at the Hub, as was in
dicatoI by the fierce howls of pain that
went up from the flock when Senator
Blaine dropped his shell in among them.

Nor A MAN OF CoMPRoNusE.-There are
somewhat ominous givings out of inten-
ded hostilities to the policy of the Ad-
ministration on the part of leading Re-
publicans, which cause some uneasiness
in view of the conYening of Congress in
June next. Blaine and Butler are cited
as the leaders of vigorous opposition,
and it may be that there is something in
this statement, for the impulsive Maine
Senator is not a man of compromise, but
a "stalwart" defender of the faith to the
last extremity.-[ Rochester Express.
THE OLD LINE STANDS FIRM.-The men
of sincere convictions, who never had
and never expect to have an office, who
believe in Republican principles as firm
" as they believe in God and the Declar-
alton of Independence-these nearly to
a man are in sympathy with Chamber
lain. Packard and the Southern Unionist,

THE CLOUD ON THE HoRIzoN.-There is
cloud bigger than a mans hand on the
political horizon. 1t will take careful
handling to save the old ship from dam
er.-[Cincinnati Times, (Repl
