PITH OF TEaE PRESS.


go good reason why Grant should not be
nominated. The question may therefore
be regarded AS settled.
Columbus Courier (Ind.): The Gin
cinnati Commercial has not demanded the
big IN" in spelling nation for nearly
month. This is lnkewarmness in the
faith for which there is no sort OF an ex-
cuR.
Chicago Daily News hd.); The boom
tn iron and steel and other metals is no
louder than the boom in lumber The
shipments of lumber into the Western
States are simply immense. Boom is no
word for it.
New Orleans Democrat (Dem.): 1t is
a curious commentary upon the loud
boasts of the Republicans that they have
already secured Ohio that they are now
calling loudly for more money from the
eutside. If the State is secure, why
these persistent appeals?
New York World (Dem.): The news
paper press Of the country appears to be
pretty generally of the opinion that the
turning point of the Tilden-Field dis
pute about selling shares of the elevated
railway in London is the value and
moral obligation Of an implied promise.
New York Sun (Dem.): Mr.. Conk-
ling must have strong desire to speak
for Mr. Cornell, even if he has no heart
for anything else. There can be no doubt
about that and no man in this country
is better qualified than the eloquent Sen
ator to poroay the horrors of the "shot-
gun policy"
Chicago Tribune (Rep.): One of the
most convincing arguments showing that
the resumption of specie payments is an
accomplished fact is contained in the ah-
nouncement that during the past week
the United States Assay Office in New
York paid out to bankers the sum of
$6,885,000 in gold.
indianapolis News (Ind.): The Robin
son Democrats claim they will carry New
York by 10000. The Cornell Republi-
cans claim they will carry it by 10000.
There exists no doubt in the mind OF any
that New York politicians will claim
everything and take anything they can
get their hands on.
Baltimore Gazette (Deua): The Gin
cinnati Commercial speaks Of Zach.
Chandler's Toledo speech as zone of the
finest songs of the season." This is q
very natural error to fall into. When
Mr.. Chandler, full of tar water, begins
one OF his swaying orations the people in
front are very likely to think that he is
reeling off "a Life on the Ocean Wave"
Mr.. Chandler has a delightful barrow
tone voice when it is well loosened with
"Old Crow"
Boston Journal (Rep): CLOVIS pol
itics in your section"' asked Repub-
lican in this city of leading mqnufac-
turer in one of our manufacturing vii
lagos in the interior. Don't hear much
about politics this fall was the reply,
everybody is so busy in our town that
they have no time to discuss the situa-
ton, and | have always noticed that
when it was thus that large Republican
majority was declared after the counting
Of the votes on election day"
Cleveland Penny Press Gnd.): Once
Upon time Senator Blaine was a prom
inent candidate for the Presidency, and a
sun-stroke suddenly prevented him from
going before house committee of inves-
tigation, and also destroyed his chances
for the White House. Now, the great
and good Zachariah Chandler is a prom
nent candidate for the Presidency, and on
Saturday last he destroyed big Repub-
lican boom by catching bad cold in Joe
Richards restaurant and saloon. That
cold may injure Zachariahs Presidential
boom.
ID National View (Greenback) A sig
nificant mint is to be drawn from the fact
that about fifty names are mentioned
by the Democratic and Republican book
makers as prominent and available Presi-
dental candidates upon emergency. The
significance of this lies in the fact that
with such diversified interests among this
motley crew of ofice-seekers, it becomes
necessary to sink all considerations of
consistency and adopt such expedients as
will conciliate and consolidate party con-
Siderations. The difficulty of such a
course is apparent when such name as
Garfield appears in connection with s. F.
Cary, ESQ.,, as candidates for President
and Vice President on the Republican
ticket.
Alta California (Rep.): Let us have
peace. General Grant set us the exam
pie when he crowned his military career
at Appomattox by an act of generosity
worthy of great soldier and a true
hearted American citizen. The exCon-
federates have joined with the ex-Union,
lists recently, hiding the hatchet of wal
in clouds of smoke from the calumet ol
peace. Happy are We to have it to say
that the return Of this simple, unobtru.
siye American citizen, has been the occa
sion, if not the cause, of burying out Of
sight many of the unsightly skeletons
