lent work of late in the way of cypher dis |
patches, but now it has TO stop and sigh for
Maine.
Chicago Daily News: The Tribune says
the Relief Committee is doing well. So it
is. Out of $42, 900 collected has forwarded
81, 900 TO the people of the South. Ofcourse
it is doing we'll
New Orleans Picayune DENY: They say
that when Manton Marble sees those cipher
letters of his in The New York Tribune, he
smiles and smiles and feels like numbering
somebody. His only consolation is that no.
body can read them.
Boston Traveller (Rep.): The hypocritical
are "killing off Blaine again, and even the
Boston writer of rusty chronicles for the
Springfield Republican gets III his little
Kick. But Blaine still lives, rather viSor-
ously, too.
Nashville Banner (Dem.): The Repub-
lican papers protest most vigorously that
there hasn't been any Democratic victories
in Maine but they can't deny there has
been a Republican defeat which is SO much
| he same thing there is no need to quarrel
over the difference.
Augusta ME. Journal (Rep.): The green
back disease is spasmodic; it will rage this
wear, like the measles or yellow fever; but
after the run" it will die out to be reck-
oned among the strange and foolish politi-
cal movements represented by the Know
Nothing party and ?. j.. LIS.
Philadelphia Times: Lord Dutferin is a
clever, far-sighted man. He was threatened
| with having to swing all around the circle
of the Canadian towns and receive an ad-
dress and undergo a haud-shaking in each
by a master stroke of policy he has sue
ceeded in inducing seventy-four towns to
pool their issues in one monster address and
to forward that to him by express. That is
the sort of cOnfner of tresses he is.
St. Louis Journal iRep)' The Democratic
papers are undertaking to make point on
the difference of opinion between the Re
publican papers in the East and West on the
currency question. There is difference,
the ideas Of the West being confessedly more
liberal on the general issues than those OF
East But the difference is trtiing com
pared with that existing in the Democratic
party. The difference between Bayard and
Thurman or between the Sun and Voorhees,
is antipodal..
Chicago Inter-Ocean (RepD: The Republi-
can party is in favor of honest money, GER
tianly but it should not be forced into an
antagonism against Greenbacks That is
no part of its mission The people will
hesitate to turn the finances over to the en-
emics of greenbacks as long as the Republi-
can PARTY is faithful to its trust. Democrats
plowing with a greenback heifer, and Re
Dublicans running hard-money machine.
is enough to make the bones of Andrew
Jackson rattle in his coffin.
New York Times Rcp.): The World af-
fccts to believe that The Times objects to
Murch. the stone-cutter Congressman from
Maine, because of his occupation. The
World knows Batter. Our objection to
clccting Murch to Congress from an intelli-
gent community is not that he is stone
cutter, but that he is an ignOramus and a
blathcrskite. When it comes to pass that
a mans occupation is his only qualification
for office, we take it that the World will be
found supporting the Murches because they
are StOne-CutterS.
Philadelphia Star (Ind) We shall prob
ably have Gen. Butler with us IN Philadel-
pha before the political campaign is ended.
He proposes spreading himself over a very
large extent of territory, making speeches
wherever he can find time and an audience,
and thus laying the foundation for his can
didacy for the Presidency in 1880. 1t will
be remembered that a number of years ago,
when Buffers nanre appeared in connection
with the Presidential nomination, he made
the remark: please withdraw my name.
NV turn for that position has not yet ar
rived. 1t will come along one of these
days"
Buffalo Courier (Dem.): We feel conf
dent that the "Ohio idea will find little
favor with Democratic National Conven-
ton. A survey of the field will lead to the
conclusion that, unless great and unex-
pected changes occur within the next few
years, the Democrats will defeat the Repub-
licans in the next Presidential election if
both parties should be either equally sound
or equally unsound on the financial ques
ton. The sole hope of Republican success
would seem to lie in the chance that the
Democracy may espouse currency heresies
while their opponents declare for honest
| finance.
New York Star (Dem.): Ben. Butler
knows a thing or two. He said to news
paper correspondent at Worcester, Mass
''The Maine election settles one thing
either the Democratic party must unite with
the GreenbaCk party, or the Greenback party
must unite with the Democratic party
Thus, practically, there will be but two par
ties in 1882 Who can gainsay the shrewd
ness of that prediction? If such a union
could succeed in defeating Jim Baine's
| Congressional candidate in the strongest
Radica. district of Maine, why should it not
be made efectual in the National contest of
1880? Democrats and Greenbackers might
well make common cause to deliver the
country from the incubus of Republican
corruption and misgovernment.
Atlanta Georgia. Constitution (Dem.):
The prospects are that in at least six of the
districts attempts will be made to disorgan-
ize the Democracy and reorganize the Re-
publican party on a new basis, but at pres
ent the outbreak is not favorable to the
success of the movement Some of the fol- |
lowers of the Independents notably Judge
Wright of Rome, have denied that they
were engaged in any organized attempt to
break up the Democratic party, but when
it is remembered that they can not hope to
be successful unless the party is broken up
and disorganized, such disclaimers must be |
taken with an unusually large grain of al |
