The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1879-02-04
PITEa OF ThlE PRESS,

Milwaukee Sentinel (Rep.): How would
this do for the Democracy in 1880: For
President, Ben. Hill; for Vice President,
Ed. S. Bragg.
New York World Dem.): If the Presi-
dent would admit that he removed Mr., Ar
thur because Mr.. Ar hur opposed him his
frankness would be respectable.
Philadelphia Times (Dem): There was
nothing naughty in the Republican cipher
! kilograms, therefore they were burned up
or otherwise incapacitated for future SER
| vice.
Norwich Bulletin Rep.): Talleyrand is
charged with saying Language is given us
to conceal our thoughts" Mr.. Potter's
idea seems to be that investigations are de-
signed to hide the truth
Boston Herald; 1t is said that Niagara
Falls never looked handsomer than it does
this winter. All that it needs to make it
perfectly grand is to have the trees decor
ated with dead hackmen.
Chicago News: 1t isn't at all probable,
dear reader, that you will live to see the
bottom of official rascalty in Chicago, but,
if you keep cool, you may see down far
enough within the next two weeks to make
your head swim.
Detroit News (Ind) J: Imagine an Ameri-
can politician resigning SO fat q thing as
MacMahon had, merely for a question Of
principle. One of our fellows would have
stuck to the Elysee as long as there was
stone of it left upon another.
Boston Post (Dem): The solemn warn
ing OF the late President of the Western
Union is quite enough TO certify officially
to the fact that the Republicans were as
deep in the mud as they had charged the
Delnocra, with being in the mire.
Syracuse Journal Rep.): Senator Hill
and others will talk very well until the
Democratic party is restored to the control
of the National Government as it is hoped
| BY fair promises as bait to a part of the
North and a solid South TO restore it, when
the party caucus will override their good
intentions.
Chicago Inter-Ocean (Rep.) Governor
Bishop seems to be the coming Samson of
the Democracy of Ohio in the contest for
next Governor Bishop is hard-money
man, and, as the Democrats are just nov
playing sweet to the Greenbackers, there are
very delicate points to manipulate before
swallowing Bishop.
Baltimore Gazette (Dem.): Gen. Grant
can sail as peacefully over the Chinese seas
as if he were floating soul on the waters
Of the blue Vesuvian Bay. The Republican
party is being reformed backward and will
soon be down to his level. Logan, Carpen-
ter and Chandler will soon take their stand
for him in the Senate.
st. Louis Republican DENY: We must
express our surprise that the Democratic
members of the Senate Committee should
have trusted the dispatches in Republican
hands, instead of pu ting them where they
belonged, in place beyond the reach of
anybody except the Committee acting as a
whole.
Pittsburg Telegraph: Mr.. IngersolI's dis
ciples reached the climax of absurdity at
the funeral Of Chicago Judge. He "be-
lieved that death ended all things" So
some friends of his own cheerful faith
made remarks, "and then a tune was
played on the Judges violin" Fiddling
him into everlasting nonentity was rare
send-off.
New York Times (Rep.): From the pre-
liminary coat of tar applied to Mr. Peton
in Yesterdays World, it may be inferred
that this bold, bad young man will come
out in very black colors indeed. 1t may
need, however, a somewhat broader back
ground of shadow to give any appearance
of brightness to the somewhat dingy out
lines of the political personality of Mr.
Tilden.
Philadelphia Press (Rep1: If the return
of the friends of Gen. Grant to the Senate
of the United States may be taken as any
indication of his popularity with his party
as candidate for the Presidency, the signs
of the times are not unfavorable TO him.
The iubilation on the arrival of Senator
Carpenter in Washington was noticeable for
its leanings in the direction of the absent
traveller.
Savannah News (Dem.): Destroy consti-
tutional and personal liberty in the South
and not many years would elapse before
despotism and tyranny would also oppress
the North. For these reasons Edmunds
proposed substitute is doomed to failure
1t will amount to nothing more than dis
charge of bitter and yenomous Radical bile
and will only serve as monument to the
contemplate ittleness of soul and misera-
BILE narrowness of mind of the eminent Pu-
ritan and philanthropist who is entitled to
the unenviable credit of its conception.
