PITIH OF THE PRESS.

Wilmington (Del. Journal (Dem.): Bay
ard will not cease to represent Delaware in
the Senate till this Nation displays it's good
sense and public virtue by calling him to
step up higher.
Chicago Inter-Ocean (Rep): The eloquent
and gallant Sayler, M. c., Of Ohio, says
1.-THE Democracy should make this an often
sive campaign" If the last Democratic
House, the Potter Committee, and the Ohio
Legislature are not offensive enough for in
telligent Buckeyes, they will be regarded as
hard to please.
New Orleans Times (Dem. J: "Ahr' says
Judge Thurman as he blows his nose on
the red bandana handkerchief of our faith
ers, Virginia is the mother of Presidents.
/ was born in Virginia. I'm sorry for Bay
ard, Hendricks and Tilden. 1t is a great
mistake to be born in Ohio or New York
now." And then he smiles
New York Star DENY: Congressman
Kelley testifes that Grant invited him to
become a visiting statesman because he
chad habit of kicking in the traces" But
when the great pig-iron champion reached
New Orleans his kicking propensity had
completely left him, and he fell into line as
meekly as junk-peddler's hack
Pittsburg Telegraph (Lnd): Taken all in
all, the Ohio Republicans may congratulate
themselves upon their chances, which might
have been made absolutely certain by an
unreseryed endorsement and approval of
the Administration. If the Ohio Republi-
cans win a victory, which appears highly
probable, it will show that honesty in party
management, as well as in the administra-
ton OF public affairs and trusts, pays in the
long run.
Chicago Inter-Ocean (Rep.): Congress
man Foster, of Ohio, has been interviewed
on the Grant question. He believes that
the Grant movement is exceedingly strong,
and that it promises to continue so. He
thinks it is ger uine popular demonstra-
ton, and not an artificial thing worked up
by politicians. Grant, he believes, is the
strongest man in the country. Mr.. Foster,
as member of the Congressional Com
mittee, expresses the opinion that the next
House will be Republican.
New York Sun Dem): The great mass
of people are Influenced in their political
action by principle. The office seekers,
large as their numbers are constitute but a
small proportion of the whole community.
They care for office principally; but private
citizens, rich and poor, as general thing
vote according to their conscientious COLI
victions. A new movement, therefore, to
have any chance of SUCCESS, must start with
some declaration of faith which appeals to
intelligent people. The Convention at Syra-
cuse has done nothing of the kind; and a
fatal tendency to disintegration appears in
the party at the start
Hardin County 70. Democrat: Our friend
John A. Shank, Esq, will be candidate
for Congress in the Second District of Ham
ilton County He is gentleman of
ability, integrity, and answering in his
Democracy; fluent speaker and close rea-
soner, and would make successful candi-
date If nominated. He is man truly of
the people, and has the inclination and
nerve to protect them in the halls of legis-
lation The Democracy of the Second Dis
trict could not do better than to nominate
him. as his election would be a fixed fact,
and such gentlemen as he are needed by the
people just now.
New York Times (Rep.): The represent
alive men of the Republican party of
Louisiana seem to have decided upon very
wise plan of action for the coming cam
paign. They will, according to the present
intention, make no nominations for State
or parish officers, leaving local leaders and
the State Committee, which has been
enlarged to sixty members, to give what
ever aid they can to Independent move
ments In all the Congressional districts,
however, they propose to make an active
canvass, and they express the belief that
they can secure at least one, and perhaps
two, of those now held by Democrats
Rochester Union and Advertiser (Rep):
The cry for Grant, come from what quarter
rim what form it may, is Imperialism and
nothing else. There is not reason or ar
gument put forth by the claquers of Grant
that does not proceed from the Imperial
idea and point to life tenure of office.
Admit, as they claim, that Grant is me
cessity"-thathe he alone can preserve law and
order, and play the Government into the
hands of the money power as he did before,
will he not be as much-nay, more of me
cessity"-in 1884 than in 1880? More of
necessity in 1883 than in 18S42 And so on
as long as he lives? To this complexion
Grantism must inevitably come at last, ac-
cording to the theory of Grants champions.
New York Tribune (Rep): Ex-President
Grant has done great deal af talking Late
