The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1878-10-15
PITH OF THE PRESS,

Detroit News Ind. J: Frank Hurd will be
!, quite likely TO loom up as a future rival OF
Thurman and Pendleton. He has as much
brains as either of them, and ten times
more political honesty and courage than
both Of them put together.
Baltimore Telegram (Dem.): Whatever
complications may arise in the future the
present result of the voting in the West is
to prepare the way for the impeachment OF
. Hayes and for the march of the Democracy
to victory in 1889 under the leadership OF
their legitimate champion, the President
elect Of the United States.
Burlington Hawkeye Rep: Let us see
what was it that Zaccheus had to do after
he climbed high, high up into q lofty tree?
All, yes; he had to come down q little; had
to come down. But he went up, you re-
member, because he was little short We
come down trihe, for the same reason.
Nashville Banner (Dem.): Senator David
Davis hasn't been able this year to deter
mine which Independent side of politics he
is the most on, and he therefore declines to
make any speeches man who is likely
10 belong to all parties at the same moment
, can't act with too much discretion about
this time.
New York Times (Rep,D; That the Ohio
Republicans can not gain anything by con-
cessions to imitation is illustrated by the
fact that the only two Republican Con-
gressmen, in the recent contest, who were
identified with the inAationists were de-
feated. These were Van Worries, in the
Thirteenth Ohio District, and Hunter in
the Eighth Indiana District.
New York Tribune (Rep) We fear that
a cold and unsympathizing public will CON
tinue to connect Mr.. Tilden remotely with
the Mobile cipher until it reads some
formal announcement like the following:
The friends and relatives of William f.
Pelton, late of No. 15 Gramercy Park, are
hereby notified that he has been this day
disinherited by his adopted father. No
! flowers"
Chicago Inter-Ocean (Rep,): The Louis
vile Courier-Journal remarks that perhaps
the Ohio Democrats better fall back on that
portion of the National Democratic plat
form which declares that Reform is neces-
Sary to establish a sound currency, restore
the public credit, and maintain the national
honor" The deuce of it is, that as soon as
the Democrats take stand the people
break for the other side.
New York World Dem.): The cats in
the National bag, of whom Mr. John G.
Thompson spoke with some anxiety few
days ago, have, at least in Ohio, turned out
to be in good many instances Democratic
cats. The success of the Republican State
ticket by from 5000 to 10, 900 votes is some
! thing quite unlocked for by Democrats,
and unhoped for by Republicans--at least
up to the eleventh hour of the canvass.
Chicago News (Ind.): There is remark
able difference between the typical South
ern gentleman and the typical Northern
gentleman. The Northern gentleman may
rob bank or default with money belong
/ ing to his native country. but he never
countenances a lottery sWindIe, as Beaure-
gard and Early do or as Mr.. Watterson and
his friends in the Blue Grass region do.
And yet we are common brotherhood.
Boston Traveller (Rep.): The Republi-
cans of the West have been able not simply
to hold their own, but to make important
gains. The Republicans OF Massachusetts
certainly have as good a cause as their
| brethren OF the West, and as strong inCen-
tives to lard work, and with the evidence
before them of what united and persistent
effort can do, they will be pretty sure to
show on election day what four weeks of
vigorous and thorough CanVassing can aC-
COmplish.
Pittsburg Telegraph (Ind.): Milton Sayler
talks about contesting the election of Mr.
Butterworth in the First Ohio District. The
grounds of the contest are as yet withheld.
We will venture, however, to advise Mr..
So\rler not N mako tho contest rel ViDr n
the partisan bias of the ma jOrty OF the
House for its success. Mr. Sayier made a
pretty fair Congressman, but if he wants to
utterly destroy his record, he will under
take the proposed contest Even ifsuccess-
full, it will finish him politically.
New York Sun (Dem.): If the Tribune

be kilograms, apparently Involving Mr..
Tilden in any questionable transactions,
now is the time to lay them before the pub.
lie. When Mr. Tilden shall have been
heard in reply-if he sees fit to speak then
it will not probably be difficult to form a
correct Judgment of the whole matter ii
Mr.. Tilden comes out unscathed. the sym
pathy for a wronged leader instructive tC
generous hearts will arouse an enthusiasm
in his favor such as lie has never kinded
, before.
New York Star (Dem.): Was not Iowa the
very citadel of Radicalism tried and i'm
pregnable? Did she not roll up majority
of 81, G99 for Republican Governor in rs
and 59,2 POS for Republican President in '76
and AZ, 1913 for Republican Governor in
IT? Yet to-day the big majorities have
dwindled down to 5000, and data still tc
come make it doubtful whether the ma jor
ity is not on the other side of the fence
What gives to this prospect a peculiarly
/ narrowing aspect is the fact that ''the in
comparable Rupert of debate"-James G.
Blaine-oraed SO vehemently throughout
the whole campaign in Iowa.
st. Louis Post Ind.): 1t was the lega,
