The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1879-10-30
PlTH OF THE PRESS.

Dayton Democrat Dem.): Charles
Francis Adams, Senator Edmunds, J,hn
Sherman and Senator Bayard are spoken
of as the great icebergs now floating on
the sea of American politics.
Pittsburg Telegraph: Col Robert In.
gersoll exposed his peculiar views at the
Opera-house last night in the presence Of
large audience. There is no doubt il
there is veritable hell the Colonel will
be sure to find it.
Ohio State Journal (Rep.): If the
"calicO boom" continues the presumption
is that the Spragues will get out of their
embarrassments and resume operations.
So much for the "smart Aleck" who first
pronounced the words "Calico Charley"
Troy Times (Rep.): In purely par
tisan sense we should be glad if Hill
would write letters for publication in
Northern newspapers at least once q
week for a full year to come. They
would serve excellently as stimulants Of
Northern solidity.
Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle: "He was
born very poor and unable to read OF
write," is the way the Philadelphia
Ledger alludes to the Revolutionary hero
Sergeant Jasper. 1t is pity some he.
roic man could not have been born rich
and highly educated.
Boston Transcript (Rep.): Mr.. Hill has
mistaken the year of grace when he pre-
sents to the public such a pretentiou
document as his last letter, reeking with
monstrous perversions of history, and
breathing the soured, revengeful spirit Of
a bafled political conspirator.
Baltimore Gazette (Dem.) If Ben.
Hill should go into winter quarters and
forget to come out in the summer, il
would be good thing all around. BEN
jamin tells great deal of truth when he
puts his pen to paper, but the North is
too ignorant and prejudiced now to listen
to the truth.
New York Sun Ind. Dem.): 1t is an
interesting spectacle to see Roscoe Conk.
ling lying back in his chair at Utica and
taking things comfortably, while William
M. Evarts, John Sherman, William A.
Wheeler, James G.. Blaine, Reuben E.,
Fenton and Charles Foster are pulling
his load through.
Chicago Tribune (Rep.): Louisiana
votes for President this year. That is to
say, the Legislature will have the power
under the Constitution about to be voted
on to choose the Presidential electors.
and it is expected that that power will
be exercised. The effort that is to be
made to carry the Legislature for the
Republicans should have the help from
the North that is asked, and plenty of it.
New York World (Dem.): 1t may be
merely an extraordinary coincidence, but
while the Cornell stalwarts are working
up the Tammany "boom" privately in
New York, Mr.John F. Henry, of Brook
lyn, a stalwart who was beaten two years
ago in that city as candidate for the
Mayoralty, and who has now been sent
out to the Pacific to "invite General
Grant to visit Brooklyn" is working IN
the Tqmmany "boom" publicly in Sas
Francisco.
New York Times (Rep.): The Repub
lican State Committee of Minnesota haA
issued an address clarifying the deeds OF
the party in the country at large, and
showing that in that State it has re-
deemed the State credit and brought its
credit to par, done much for the cause of
education and other good causes, and has
reduced taxation. If the Committee
could only add that the party has paid
the State railroad bonds, its record would
be well nigh perfect.
Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem.): A.
correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial presents the name of the Hon.
VIM. H. English, of Indiana, as fit cam
didate for Vice President on the Demo.
cratic ticket next year. The party might
certainly go further and fare worse. Per-
sonally, either Mr.. English Or Mr.. Mo.
Donald would give more real strength to
the National ticket than Mr.. Hendricks
whose claim to the second place rests on
an idea, and is to be considered quite
apart Of any fitness or merit of his own.
