PETEH OF TAIE PRESS.

! Committee had better change us name.
Its actual owner and engineer is Butler.
New Orleans Picayune (Dem.) When a
man unused to labor joins a workingman's
party, it is presumed he is working for an
office.
Boston Traveller: The workingmen here,
as a rule, are not rioters nor incendiaries;
| they discountenance not only open violence,
but harsh language.
Philadelphia Press (Dem.): A profound
student of political philosophy calls atten-
tion to the fact that they are not calling
babies after Rutherford b. Hayes.
New York Express fAnti-Tilden Dem.):
There is more virile force in one of Andrew
Jackson's old oaths than in the whole body
of the whispering mummy of Gramcrcy
!. Park.
St. Louis Post Ind) J: 1t must be great
consolation to the much-ahused members of
the present Congress to reflect that all the
| indications are that the next Congress will
| be worse
Louisville Couricr-Journal DENY: In
great affairs organized ideas rule, and, else
all the signs of the times are out of joint,
Grant and Order is the organized idea of the
Republican future.
Cleveland Leader (Rep): Grants death
alone can prevent his denomination for a
third term. This is true, not because any
man or set Of men is working to put him
forward, but because the people will it.
Milwaukee Sentinel (Rep.): Sam. Ran
dali is better straddler than Mr.. Hen
bricks, and We're it not for the newspapers
he might make some points. But he would
be wiser to follow the example of the Hoo
sier statesman andstraddle i'll silence.
Springfield Republican Gnd.): Jefferson
| Davis has kindly come to the assis ance of
Republican managers hard up for campaign
material, by making regular Lost Cause"
speech. lie has certainly done his best TO
help elect Republican House.
Boston Post (Dem.); Grants renomina-
ton would be an act of voluntary bank
ruptcy on the part of the Republican party.
1t would be square admission Of the lead
ers and managers that they put their faith
only in a personal government instead of
a government of laws, and military affair
a that.
Chicago News Gnd): z. L. Weber con-
| fessed Yesterday to the Potter SHb-Commt-
tee that he was one of the Louisiana Sena-
tors who formed an association for the
transaction of corrupt legislation, receiving
$50, 600 for the passage OF two bills. Now
he breaches honesty.
Norristown Herald (Rep.): The Delaware
Democrats think Senator Bayard too inde-
pendent, and propose to break him. But
the Delaware Democrats amount to so little
that, if it were not for Bayard, they would
never be heard of, and they are initiating
! the folly of the man who cut Oft his own
nose to spite his face.
Augusta Chronicle Dem.): Speaker Ran
dali is charged with making a protection
speech in Philadelphia and free trade
speech in New York. Suppose he did; can
man change his politics between Phila-
dephia and New York? Mr. Randall has a
mind broad enough to take in both sides of
every important question.
New York Star Dem. J: If the Hayes Ad-
ministration is determined to have its own
way inside the Republican party, Mr.. Conk-
ling may as we'll be reminded Of the fact
that there is plenty Of room outside. There
is free country still, and no one can pre-
vent the noble Senator from organizing a
party all his own. That there are lots of
new ones already needn't deter him in the
least.
Chicago Inter-Ocean (Rep.): When the
Federal Government acknowledged its own
hclplessness in the case of Louisiana and
South Carolina, and at the same time held
up the bogus State Government until they
were able to cOnsummate a wrong it mag
nitied the scope of State authority and re-
kindled blaze that will not die out until it
shall be quenched by deluge of patriotism
and unionism.
Albany Republican (Rep.): The honor of
South Carolina, says Wade Hampton, is
committed to a fair election in that State.
The contest for Congressman this fall will
test the sincerity and value of this declara-
ton. With fair election the Republicans
would almost certainly carry three or four
districts. Let them make the effort and
put Hampton's professions to the test.
South Carolina would be good locality to
try the proposed plan of sending representa-
tive Northern speakers.
New York Tribune Rep) Mr. Waiter
son is still laboring under the impression
that the public is interested in his contro-
versy with Mr.. Hewitt. He callsthe latter
veteran and variegated prevaricator, :"
and once more begs Mr.. Marble to come out
and sustain his charges. If Mr.. Marble
thinks of going into the card publishing
business, he will find the public most inter-
ested in anything he may have to say con
cerning McLin's charge that Marble as
sured him that "he would not die poor
man" if he gave the vote Of Florida to
Tilden.
St. Louis Journal (Rep): If the Demo-
cratic party is indeed, as it claims to be, a
Greenback party, will somebody please ex-
plain how and why it was that the Demo-
cratic majority in the House refused to pass
the bill amending the resumption repeal
act by which greenbacks would have been
available for the payment of all public dues
on the 1st of October, and for the payment
of the five-twenty bonds at once. This was
very fair greenback measure itself, and
was passed by a Republican Senate and de-
fnotpd bv a Democratic House prntnnfiop
