The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1878-10-22
PITH OF THE PRESS.


New York Star Dem.): Uncle Sam. Til
den, like the good Deacon Richard Smith,
of Cincinnati, is troubled by wicked part
ners.
Chicago Daily News Gnd): 1t hardly
makes any difference what Sam. Tilden
said or what he didn't say. He's another
dead duck.
Hartford Times (Dem.): Greenbackers, If
you want to keep the Republican party in
power, do as your brethren did in Ohio
throw your votes away.
Pittshurg Telegraph (Ind.): Mr.. Tlden
must have been extremely annoyed when
he learned from the Tribune how Nephew
Pelton had been carrying on.
Albany Times Ind.): 1t seems that Ack-
len of Louisiana is going to run, whether or
no, He evidently feels that he is inCom-
plete without Washington society.
Milwaukee Sentinel Rep.): Workingman
Butler, in his speeches and platform, advo-
Gates eight hours for a days labor, but the
men in his mills have to put in ten hours
for days pay.
Pittsburg Commcrcial-Gazette (Rep.): A
friend has sent us real piece of fiat money
"a Haytian note for 200 cents. He sends
with it the information that it requires
81, 900 of that money to purchase break
fast
Nashville Banner (Dem.): Bob Ingersoll
| lectured in Boston the other night, and en-
deavored to convince his hearers that he'll
was a nonentty and a humbug, but he
failed to inform them what was to become
of Ben. Butler.
Dayton Journal Rep): A heart-broken
old Democrat in Cincinnati fairly account
ed for the defeat of Milton Sayler in the
First District lie said: "GOu see, that SO
many disinfected Democrats scratched him
that he couldn't stand up under it."
St. Louis Globe-Democrat Gnd.): Ben
Butler can not extract much comfort from
the October election news. The party OF
which he is the head and front seems to
have suffered very bad collapse. 1t is fair
to presume that Ben.'s political days are
numbered.
New York Evening Post (Rep.): Such a
canvass as the South Carolina Democrats
are carrying onisnota canvass which should
find an excuse in any State. We think
that even in party view these Democrats
are making a mistake in using such lntini-
datiOn as they employ
Chicago Intcr-Ocean (Soft-moncy Rep
Ben. Harrison is coming to Chicago to
speak He will be warmly welcomed, but
it would be Just as we'll if he were to skip
some of his financial points and talk little
old fashioned Repubicansm. The same
suggestion will apply to Gen, Garfield,
should he come and TO Others. The iinan-
cial discussion does not seem to set the Re-
publican praires on fire to any great ex-
tent.
New York Times (Rep,): The public
man who, before the war, in the face of all
the teachings of history and experience,
should have proposed permanent issue OF
legal tender notes by the Government as a
measure of revenue, would have had a
short lease of public life. What change
can there have been in the laws of political
economy or the constitution Of human ma
ture to render safe and prudent now what
was universally regarded as dangerous and
foolish twenty years ago?
New York Star Dem.): Mr.. Tilden ought
certainly be able to realize by this time
that the consummation was prevented by
Samuel j. Tilden and by him alone. The
people did their full duty IN electing him
and by standing fully by him until, wher
his chance came to assume the post o.
leadership, he was smitten with abjec
cowardice and lost the battle. If he ye
entertains any doubt upon the matter, lie
him try and account for his subsequen
unpopularity. Having once shown thu
white feather at u most critical juncture
his place henceforth is in the rear.
New York Sun Ind. Dem): Thus far bu
two genuine workingmen Gillette, of Iowa
> a brickmaker, and Murch, of Maine, stone
/ mason, have been elected to Congress
/, However deluded they may be in regard t
t the financial question, about which mucl
" more conspicuous men are muddled il
!, mind or purposely wrong for personal o
i party considerations both are upright, in
e teligent, and creditable representatives, o
o honest labor They are not likely to sci
= their votes to rings, to accept bribes TO
e pushing special legislation, to put thei
= votes in market for great jobs, to see'
places on committees for corrupt objects
, to collude with claim agents on specua
u ton, or to trade with the departments 70
n patronage. This is what 'distngushe'
&C Senators and Representatives" do, an
: what we have faith these worthy sons O
u toll will not do.
