WASHINGTON, JUNE IL, 1879.
SENATOR COMBINES SPEECH.
To supply The extraordinary demand for
Senator Conkling's Great Speech upon "THE
extra SESSION OF 1879; WHAT IT
"TEACHEs AND WHAT IT MEANS" the
National Republican Printing Company has
printed large edition thereof in pamphlet
form, coRrenient for public distribution as a
Republican campaign document. Copies o.
this pamphlet may be had on application at our
Counting Room or job Office, at reduced rates.
Orders respectfully solicited and promptly .flied.
EWING can't find the bung to TILDEN's
bar'l. That is sad.
SPoFFoRD's gun recols and he instead
of KELLOGG, has been damaged by its ex-
plosion.
THE Democrats in Congress have not only
backed down, but are on the retreat, double
quick. Gone to meet JEFF DAVIS.
ANDREW HICKENLooPER doesn't part his
name in the middle, while AMERIcUs VEs-
PUCIUs RICE does, and that is weakening.
If the Psalmst, when he remarked, 81
said in my haste all men are liars" had
been in Louisiana, he would have said it de-
hberately.
THE progress of perjury in Louisiana
keeps up with the spirit of the age. Since
ANDERSON and JENKs were invented great
modern Improvements have been added to
the affidavit shop.
THE Dayton Ohio Journal thinks that
General STEWART L. WooDFoRD, of New
York, is the man the Republican State Cen
tral Committee should get to follow TOM
EWING He's good 'un.
Now that the New York policemen have
taken to clubbing each other innocent cit
liens of that much-governed municipality
will have chance for rest. 1t is to be
hoped the example will be spread con-
tagiously through Otherparts of the country
THESE later Democratic advances alons
"the whole line" rather please us. They
are in reality advances toward the rear, and
viewed from the standpoint of the BECK
BLACKBURN starving-out and wiping-ou
policy, they appear veritable retreats. A
usual in such cases, when the Confederate
are on the run the Government feels re
lieved
THE hullabaloO kicked up by the Demo
cratic organ over the defeat of the WAR
NER bill is in the nature of puerile at
tempt to make that measure political is
sue in the coming campaign. Suppose W.
accept the proposition, treat of it as rea
issue, and hold the Democratic majority il
the Senate responsible for its failure wha
then?
The Opposition press is inclined TO max,
merry over the statement that Senate
ZACH CHANDLER has expressed kindly
interest in candidate Fosters success ou
in Ohio. The more circulation is given t.
this kindly expression, either through TIL
columns of that press or otherwise, the bet
ter it will be for Mr., FOSTER. II gives ton
and direction to the Stalwart mind, you see
SENATOR THURMAN il is said, is probab
the most accomplished scholar now in Con
gress. lie knows literature and manages {
keep pace with current publicatiOns.-Bu0di
Courier.
That is what is the matter with THUR
MAN as n politician and statesman. He ha
paid too much attention to light literatur
and too little to the science Of Govornmer
aud the principles of finance TO have an ad
mirable and consistent career and record
TIE Democratic caucus on the WARNE
silver bill resulted rs we expected it woulr
in the practical abandonment of that prOpt
sition as a party measure by its Democrat
friends. 1t was coached through the Hous
by the urgent manipulation of the part
lash, and would probably have been treate
the same way in the Senate if the necessit
of adjounment-imnediat adjournment
had not been pressed upon the Democra
Of that body as an imperative partisan I,
quirement.
GENERAL RICE, Tom EwING's lieutenar
is relied upon by the Democracy Of Ohio
whoop up the soldier vote. The CUMMING
arrears-of-penso act will be presented
the people Of that State by the Democrat
managers as the result of RICE's efforts
the last Congress 10 serve his brother 81
diers. This pretentious claim, like all Il
rest of the boasted Democratic regard
the soldiers Of the Union, is an impude
sham and barelaced attempt TO rob
CUMMINGS of a distinction to which
alone is entitled.
THE cry of the Confederate organ I'll
the Republicans in Congress have back
down aud the Democrats have the best
the contest, is a reminder Of the Georgia
description Of n fight he had with IN Al
baminn and how he had the RdVanta!
