PlTH OF THE PRESS.

CatSklll N. I. Examiner hep.1: Lie
Republicans are harmonious, united, and
confident. Less confidence and more
work is needed.
New York Star Dem.): Carl Schurz
is the only member of the National Ad-
ministration at present who is making
any effort to earn his salary. lie Is
shooting partridges in Colorado.
Boston Traveller (Rep.): Dennis Kear-
ney is not coming East. Thanks, Cen
eral! Massachusetts, will feel indebted
to you for one favor, at least. AS we
have said before, "Let us have clean
campaign"
st. Louis Globe-Democrat (Rep.):
Grant was born democrat, but he has
lust abandoned the only evidence he has
given in many years that he ever be-
longed to that party. He returns to his
native land a total abstainer.
Dayton Democrat (Dem.): Foster ad-
mits that he voted to demonetize silver,
but claims that he did not know what he
was doing. Even he was cheated by the
money leaders of the party on codlfica-
ton. "Poor excuse better thar none"
will apply in this instance.
Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem.): A
correspondent of the Washington Star,
defending Secretary Schurz from current
Republican attacks, asserts that Schurz
saved the Republican party in 1876. The
historical view of the subject is that the
Republican party was saved from ex-
tinction in that year solely through Re
publican fraud, perjury and robbery.
The historical view will stand.
Chicago Inter-Ocean (Rep.): Geo. G.
Gorham, of California, is making an
earnest plea to be taken back into the
Republican ranks. George should not
be taken in with any sprinkling process;
the party should insist on his being held
under the water for half an hour or So,
and then pumped out" If it was not a
duty to save sinners, the Inter-Ocean
would insist on leaving George where
he is.
New Orleans Democrat DENY: Sher-
man refuses to levy on the Treasury
clerks to help along the Cornell cam
paign in New York, whereat Conk ing
wakes wroth and SAYS that the Secretary
action is due to political jealousy. 1t be-
gins to appear that the Administration
can not be depended upon to pull Mr..
Conkiing's chestnuts out of the fire, and
Cornell will have to pull through, if he
can, without any aid from the Custom
houses.
New York Tribune (Rep.): 1t isn't
strange that the much pushed Hancock
boom refuses to start. In the first place
the General lives in a Republican State
in the second place, his own party in that
State is not in favor of his nomination
but is committed to Tilden; and in the
third place, he has no money to spend or
the party. Tilden, on the contrary, Liver
in doubtful State, and has the reputa
ton of being the only Democratic candi
date who can carry it. He has his part,
.. organization in the State in his control
= and he has an exhaustless pocket-book II
q draw upon.
v New York Sun Dem.): 1t is said tha
4 John Sherman himself intends to return
/ to Ohio and make a few more speeche
e before the votes are polled. His anxiet.
= is natural. Not only are his Presidential
aspirations more or less wrapped up il
the canvass, but he also has other inter
ests at stake. The complexion of tn
Legislature, which is even more in doub
It than the State ticket, will determine tn
e choice of Senator to succeed Judg
Is Thurman. Mr.. Shermap's name is no
% prominently mentioned as candidat
a for Senator is case the Legislature is RI
p publican. We do not consider it improt
d able, however, that his well-known hal
al its Of thrift may lead him to provid
le himself with six more round years o
T. ficeholding, to be held in reserve again'
)e the accidents and uncertainties of Pre-
ID idential candidacy.
e, N. Y. Commercial Advertiser (Rep.
~ Prosperity dawns upon our country, an
q it is due to the fact that our financi
troubles have been arrested by the wi
measure of Republican action in the r
sumption of specie payments, which h
established confidence in all busine
IN classes, though deadly opposed by Il
se Democratic party, and now sneered
e,y as appears, by their speakers and Il
,s' Greenback party. Pendleton, in Obi
TO says the resumption measure would n
en- continue, it has no permanency. Yt
ed their cry is yet, Repeal! Repeall A
ee the people ready for this2 Beware! $
ws that the Democratic party never has t
ac, power to roll back the tide Of prosperi

dency in 1880 is question which
el- been asked again and again during
led !t last three years; and the question, he
