PITH OF THE PRESS.

From the Boston Post Dem.): Should
General Butler succeed it would cut off the
Democrats who favor it from all sympathy
and future fellowship with their Southern
friends
Burlington Hawkeye (Rep.): You are
heartily welcome, Senator Blaine. Take a
front seat. This Is the State that is so full
of Blaine Republicanism that it sticks out
all around the edges and jabs itself into the
adjacent States
Chicago News She is good singer who
can reach high G.; but the Administration
excels that effort every time. 1t scars be
yond an Office vacancy and goes to-high-U
without all effort
| Nashville Banner (Dem.): There are more
than eight hundred nominees for Congress
in the field this fall, greater number than
ever before. What blessing that they can
not all be elected!
st. Louis Post Dem.): The Liberal League
can hardly claim the credit of originality in
proposing TO nominate an old woman for
the Vice Presidency. The Republicans
elected one two years ago.
From the Chicago Times Gnd): Ben.
Butler can't succeed. Its agin natur'. A
party that has been brought up on the
bottle can't flourish on spoon diet. Benja-
min, take away your spoons. The Stale
will be saved without 'em.
From the Worcester Spy (Rep. }: We have
never believed the charge that General
Butler stole spoons when in New Orleans
but we see no reason to doubt that if he
had then wanted spoons half as much as he
has since wanted Office, he would have
stolen any that lay i'll his way.
Albany Journal Rep.): We are glad
that in this State both parties have adopted
narl money platforms, as VIC !,ct1 ;t ,,;t1 De pro-
foundly glad if they had done 50 in all the
States 50 that there would be no longer any
issue or any danger on this great subject.
Pittsburg Commercial Gazette (Rep):
From all directions we have intelligence
that the Republicans are steadily gaining
strength as the canvass progresses The
morale of the naTEr,yy in this State was never
better nor was the canvass more wisely and
energetica.ly conducted.
indianapolis Journal (Rep.): Will Mr.
Hendricks please inform the people of In
diana at an early day whether he is in favor
of resumption at any time, and if So when?
This is the leading question i'll the canvass,
and yet strange to say Mr.. Hendricks has
not expressed himself on it.
New York Star Dem.): Old Simon Cam
eron has hopes of the Republican NOM
nation for the Presidency. He thinks
Blaine and Conkling will kill each other off,
1,l.a > al,n L.,
between him and Grant. But is man who
could wantonly triile with the affections of
a kitteniSh and confdng young widow fit
person to be President of the United States?
Baltimore Telegram (Dem.): A CORE
spondent writes to know if he should ad
dress Mr. Hayes as "His Excelleny." There
are two reasons why it would be improper
to do so. In the first place. the President
is not His EXcellency," and in the second
place Mr.. Hayes is not the President.
Otherwise the manner of address is cor
rect.
New York Sun Dem.); If New Halnp-
shire Republicans have the slightest notion
of contesting the election for Governor of
that State, they should take steps to plant a
campaign spelling-bee in every voting pre-
Cinct, to practice on the name of their can
didate. Mr. Nat. Head is one Of those luck
less aspirants for popular suffrage whose
preposterous if not wholly impossible
names increase the list of scattering votes
bv plausible variationsin their orthography
New York Times (Rep.): The Republi
can Convention of the First Congressional
District of Connecticut has nominated
General Hawley as "the hard dmoney candi-
date for the district" The choice is one
equally honorable to the Convention and
its nominee. 1t is a case in which the
nomination has sought the man, and not
the man the nomination, and the spon-
taneity and enthusiasm which marked the
choice of General Hawley are as conspicu-
Gus as its eminent fitness.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle Dem. J:
A distinguished feature of the present tinan-
cial discussion is that it evolves nothing
new in argument. The advocates of sound
currency claim to advance nothing new.
Certainly the champions Of fiat money have
no theories to advance which have not here
tofore been tested, and their falsity COM
pletely demonstrated. This therefore, is a
hopeful sign, indicating that the delusion
is to pass away, although further expert
ence is yet to demonstrate how much of I'M
certainty and suffering the Nation must en-
dure before the heresy is extirpated.
New York Tribune (Rep.): 1t will elate
the Prohibitionists of Massachusetts to know
that their campaign is being run as tender
to Buffers. This was made quite evident
at the meeting of the STATE Temperance
Alliance in Boston on Wednesday. One OF
the brethren came to the meeting with a
message from the General in his pocket,
saying that if he was elected and the Legis-
lature should pass a Prohibitory Law, he
would sign it and clean out the liquor
traffic as clean as a broom ever swept a
kitchen floor" Butler is quite safe in
making such promises. He knows very
well that a Legislature elected by the same
vote that would choose him Governor
would never pass any Prohibitory Law.
Doctors Gave RFim Up.
