The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1878-08-20
SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

Utica Observer Dem.): The men who
work will think before they vote. The vio-
lence of Kearney and his school will disgust
more than it attracts.
Chicago Daily News: Very few Cincinnati
people go to watering places. This is one
of the evil effects of their having their dis
tilleries at home.
New York Sun (Dem.): Grants hopes
hang upon the declaration that Hayes title
is sacred Whoever Joined in that declara-
ton shares in the responsibility if Grant
becomes President third time; or if he be-
comes our ruler under any other title.
Buffalo Express (Rer.): Whatever polit-
ical folles President Hayes may have COM
mitted-and they appear to be numerous
enough-there is naught against candidate
Hayes. He undoubtedly entered upon the
performance of his duties clean handed.
Boston Herald Qnd.): The soft money
men lie about the currency-the amount of
contraction, etc.-lie like slaves. There is
no lack of currency. Millions are seeking
investment at low rates. All that is needed
is confidence, and the inhationists are do
ing all they can to kill that wherever it is
growing
New York Star (Dem. J: Orvil, the brother
of ULYSSES, thinks that ehe ExPresident
could be educated up to" acceptinga third
term We have no doubt he would be an
apt pupil with such prize in view; but is
not the wish for another haul among the
Indians father to the thought of renomi-
nation with Brother Orvil?
Boston Traveller (Rep.): Senator Thur
man is an able mana very able man-but
he is not able in one speech to annihilate
the record of the last ten years of his life,
and without wheeling about, or turning to
| the right hand or the left, transform HIM
self from an outspoken sound money man
into an enthusiastic Greenbacker. His at
tempt to swallow himself was bad failure.
Philadelphia Record Ind.): The Demo
Gratis of Cincinnati have commenced their
campaign with great vigor. AT the prima-
ries they killed a man named Bisack; the
Convention was mob; fraudulent tally
sheets were discovered in the count of
votes, and at the first meeting of the Exec
utive Committee one man stabbed another.
If this activity holds out till October the
news from Ohio will after while get to be
!, interesting.
, New York Times (Rep.): If General But
Ter has the habit of jumping overheard al
the time his craft begins to settle, we take
it that the Democratic party went to pieces
in 1860, when this exceedingly able poll
tician scurred out of it so preCipitately.
For twenty-five years Butler was the most
prominent leader of the New England De-
mocracy. Up to 1860 there was not enough
vituperation in the English language to ex-
press his contempt for the Republican
party.
t Albany Journal (Rep.); No generous ac
7 ton in the South or on the part Of South
f ern Representatives have failed to receive
sincere recognition from Republicans. We
want no sectional divisions We shall dc
nothing to create them. We shall appea
to the patriotic instincts and common inter
! ests of the whole country. But the
people of the North would be false to theil
own safety, if, when they see the Soutt
Y uniting to secure control OF the Govern
! ment with undisguised and dangerous de.
signs, they did not unite in a similar man
e ner for the public veal. This is not wavin|
V the bloody shirt; it is not exciting any an
tagonisms 1t is simply self protection anc
the highest patriotism.
Syracuse Courier (Dem.): AS the tail cal
not wag the dog the East will have to final
: ly acknowledge that it can no longer wa
r the West. Can the Eastern Democracy af
< ford an attitude of antagonism tC
ward the Democracy of tn
West? It begins to look as tho ugh th

attempt to sweep back the waves of th
= ocean as for the unaided East to resist th
o swelling tide of greenbaCkism. We are
i national not sectional party, and in vieN
- of 1880, the Democracy of the East mus
take no narrow and contracted, but broa
and liberal, survey of the situation.
d The Nation Qnd): General Butler ha

d that because he says the Supreme Coul

If Kearney is satisfied with this legs

u will take new rope, and, after giving Blu
N Ter thirty-nine lashes with it and cursir
