The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1879-05-17
PITH OF THE PRESS.


Denver Tribune (Rep.): David Davis
Topped over on the Democratic side just
in time to be invited to the crow banquet.
New York Star (Dem.): Hayes last
veto is the substance of Senator Ed
munds' speech boiled down, with top
dressing by Lawyer Evarts.
Washington Post DENY: If Zachariah
Chandler sues us we think we shall en-
ploy Ben. Hill for counsel and summon
the entire Senate for witnesses.
Louisville Post and News (Ind.): The
filibusters succumbed in 1876, and they
will be compelled to do it in 1879. The
conservatism of the South speaks again.
Philadelphia Press (Rep): 1t may be
remarked of President Hayes, as it was
of General Grant, that when his mind
has once been made up he is a very OBJ
stinate person.
Pittsburg Telegraph Ind.): Say moth
ing, and you will have nothing to retract.
That is the principle on which Thurman
is acting relative to the condition of the
fences in Ohio.
Louisville Courier-Journal Dem. J:
Old Zach. must not lose his temper in
the Senate, but certainly the best way to
treat an old hypocrite is to drown his
drivel with laughter.
Detroit News (Ind.): The administra-
ton, in view of the recent discussion of
the currency and silver question in Eu-
rope, is talking of making another effort
for an international double standard. 1t
will be as useless as it was before.
Burlington Hawkeye (Rep.): The coun-
try will sustain the President in his
action. He has manifested decision of
character, frmness of purpose, and a
breadth of craftsmanship which will re-
ceive the universal plaudits of all true
Republicans.
Philadelphia Times Qnd): AS both
parties in Congress have finally made an
issue on which both can carry the next
Presidency, would it be too much to ask
them to give few moments attention
to the appropriation bills and then ad.
journ?
Atlanta Constitution (Dem.): The
exodusters have struck slate Atchison,
Kansas, has declared that no "paupers'
shall be dumped down in the corporate
limits of that city. This is about as
heartless as the original deception prac-
ticed on the unfortunate blacks.
From the Richmond (Va) State( Dem. J:
Thanks to Hon. George II. Pendleton
for Congressional papers and a copy of
his maiden speech, He is still the same
noble specimen of American manhood
that won for him everywhere in times
past, the pleasing soubriquet of Gentle
man George" 3
Baltimore Gazette (Rep.): Mr.. Eugene
Hale, of Maine, has risen up to remark
that he has never known a time when
the drift of public sentiment was so I'M
mistakably with the Republican party.
Mr.. Hale has evidently been moved by
the impassioned speeches of his venera-
Bile father-in-law in the Senate.
New York Sun (Dem.): Instead of
halting, Hayes will go to the furthest
extreme in order to prove his fidelity;
and there is no plan, however reckless,
that he will not now adopt or pursue to
remove the distrust of the chiefs, who
use but despise him. The last hope is in
the determination of Congress to protect
the ballot against the bayonet and to
defend the liberties of the people.
Washington Star Qnd.): Simon
Cameron's Harrisburg paper seems very
much inclined to support Secretary
Sherman for the Presidency. Senator
Don Cameron, it will be remembe red,
married a charming niece of Mr..
Sherman's and it is naturally inclined to
think well of the uncle. ANY way, the
powerful influence of the clan Cameron
in big State like Pennsylvania, is not a
bad thing for Presidential aspirant to
start with.
st. Paul Pioneer and Press (Rep.) The
argument of the veto message is unan-
swerable. Its main positions, so far as
they relate to the general principles in
volved, and the basal constitutional OBJ
jections to the bill, are stated with a
clearness and cogency, and sustained by
a chain of historical and statutory pre-
cedent which must carry conviction with
all the millions who will read it, 20 far
to array public sentiment against the
revolutionary course of the Democratic
party in Congress, and thus make fur
ther persistence in it too dangerous to
be hazarded.
Harper's Weekly (Rep.): The Demo-
Gratis forced an extra session. They de-
clared, through Messrs. Beck and Thur
man and Blackburn, that if they could
not accomplish their purpose constitu-
tionally, they would disorganize the Gov
ernment. This threat aroused the coun-
try thoroughly, and the veto was sus-
tained by an overwhelming public opin-
ion. Instead of keeping the word given
