The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1879-10-22
PlTH OF THE PRESS.

Pittsburg Telegraph Qnd.): In Eng
land, as in the United States, when par
ty success is doubtful the first thing for
each side to do is to identify that
with the life of the nation.
Hartford Post (Rep.): Republicans
should above all things desire the nomi-
nation of Samuel J. Tilden next year,
and if they can do anything in legiti-
mate way to bring it about, it would be
an excellent stroke of policy.
Milwaukee Sentinel (Rep): Ohio fur
nishes an example which Winconsin will
follow. In this State as in Ohio there
will be Republican majority of $4,000,
which will serve as a rebuka to the Dem
ocrats who have once more bended their
necks to the yoke Of Southern su-
premacy.
New York Tribune (Rep.): The effu-
slve Springer discloses the fact that Gen
eral Ewing was certain of victory, up to
the last moment, and seemed especially
confident that.the Democrats could not
lose the Legislature. 1t is Just possible
that Mr.. Thurmun was not the only man
IN Ohio who was working for Senator
ship.
New York Star (Anti-Tilden Dem.):
Brother Hutchins, Of the Washington
Post, is mistaken. The result of the Ohio
election doesn't "drive us all into Tilden's
chicken-coop." In fact, it won't drive
any of us there. A popular thunderbolt
is going to strike in this State two weeks
from next Tuesday that will put an end
to the chicken and the coop.
New York Sun (Dem.): Hayes is grow
ing gray. Fifty thousand dollars year,
deadhead rides over the railroads, sue
cessful competition with the prize OK as
an object of popular curiosity at cattle
shows-all these delights are dear to
Hayes heart. But they are all poisoned
by the consciousness that he is Fraud.
That is enough to make any mans hair
turn gray.
Columbus, o., State Journal (Rep. J:
The funeral Of the rag-baby will take
place at an early day-Allen G.. Thur
man and Thomas Ewing, chief mourn
ers; W. W. Armstrong, John R. Mclean,
Dan Voorhees,. Thomas A. Hendricks,
10 Blackburn and the Hon. Mr.. Gully.
pall-bearers; John G.. Thompson, under
taker. N. B.-No Federal bayonets"
allowed in the procession.
Chicago Inter-Ocean (Rep.): The Dem
ocratic papers are unanimous on one
point. They do not believe the Demo-
Gratis can carry Ohio in 1880. They call
loudly for Democrat who can carry all
the Southern States and New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, California
and Indiana. 1t affords them no comfort
to remember that Grant in 1872 carried
all the Southern States named as doubt
full and several Southern States as we'll.
New York World (Dem): Not SOL
itary utterance capable Of being twisted
by human ingenuity into disloyalty can
be quoted against any Representative of
seeding State. Yet the cry steadily
goes up for "the strong man." who is to
bring back the methods and shames of
1868 and of every subsequent year down
to 1877 That cry simply implies will
ingness to see an end made in this fair
land Of liberty protected by law. The
cry, if answered favorably by New York
in 1879 and by the nation in 1880, will
mean simply that no government cir
cumscribed and bound by written con-
stitution is to exist at Washington after
March, 1881.
New Orleans Democrat (Dem.): The
Treasury Department issued last Mon
day, on the eve of an Ohio election, a
document showing the number of illicit
stills seized by the revenue officials last
year. This was evidently intended for
the campaign, and was so used by the Re-
publicans, who endeavored to persuade |
the farmers of Ohio to vote for Foster
because one hundred and thirty-two
whisky stills had been seized in North |
Carolina. Some persons may fail too see
the connection between these two facts. |
but the Cincinnati Commercial was con-
vinced that the circumstances of so many |
men boiling corn down in North Caro- |
lima without license was good reason |
why people thousand miles away should |
support Foster and Sherman.
Richmond State (Dem.): 1t looks very
much as if the Democracy had found its
Waterloo, or, if you like it better, had |
met its Appomattox. After these terri
BILE defeats in the West and the utter de-
moralization that is making confusion
worse confounded in New York, where
they seem to have lost sight of the real
enemy in their front while engaged in a
factious war to the death among them
selves, what hope is there that the party
will ever again be able to make
any show of strength in the solid
Radical North? We confess we
see no future for the De-
there, and the struggle for the
control of the National Government
might as we'll be given up. For more
than fourteen years has the contest been
kent I'm tho South stondino solid for +ha
