The Republicans of the South, white and

New York Tribune (Rep): Senator Hill
has grown weary in the self-imposed task
of instructing the North about "epochs"
He announces that he is going to keep 81
lent for an indefinite period, since the
Northern journals persist in misconstrung
his htterances. Perhaps season of silent
meditation will convince him that that was
a considerable epoch which began at SUM
ter and ended Al Appomattox.
Baltimore Gazette (Deml: The Republi-
cans opened the campaign in Ohio yester-
day with broadside. Carl Schuz deliv-
cred one of his $500 speeches in Cincinnati,
and John Sherman fired a couple of tons of
! financial statistics at Steubenville. The
other members of be Cabinet were held in
reserve They will probably be brought up
to storm the Democratic works later III the
campaign. When the country is lmper-
lied the professional saviors are expected
to come to the front.
Cleveland Penny Press, (Ind): Dom Piatt
says he would not be much surprised if
the National ticket should come out vcto-

ticed by him as anything unusual or phe-
nomenal; and il the man in the moon
should come down at noon and inquire
the way to "Norridge," Dom would

Chicago Telegraph DENY; Charley Fos-
ter is believing about an imaginary fortune
which came from Sam Tiden, and which is
to be spent in the Ohio election for General
Ewing. 1t begins to look as if Charley saw
his defeat. The soldiers are going to vote
for Ewing and Rice-both brave Union Cen
erals-n preference to the tape-measurer
and smiler Charley Foster To explain the
whipping, and prepare for as gentle fall
as possible the Sam Tilden money story is
started. If it were true, who is to be bought? ?
Surely the virtu0us Fosterites are not for
sale.
New York Sun Ind. Dem.): Mr.. Foster
is rich and he never has been sparing of
money to advance his personal or political
interests. On this occasion he will prob
ably be more liberal in expenditure than
ever before, because it is the turning point
of his career. Failure now means exile for
the future from public affairs. Besides he
is identified completely with the fortunes
of John Sherman as party leader and as
an asprant for the Presidency. Therefore
he is impelled by double motive to make
every possible sacrifice to insure success
j The election af Ewing would utterly ex
tiHgu!sh the hopes of both Foster anc

St. Louis Globe-D Democrat Grant Rep.)
Some of the Sherman and Democratic or
gans are trying to take comfort out of al
= interview with Mr.. Grant, in which he sale
in substance that he is not a candidate fo
reelection. They are welcome to all The
JOY they can get out Of that simple asser

the Presidency in the ordinary meaning o
the word. He never sought the office, anC

the national necessity which demanded hi
election in 1868 and his reelection in 1872
: and he will yield to the same necessity il
1880. He is not candidate, but he will b.
q our next President, because the good o
the country and the voice of the Repuh
lican party will compel him to set aside hi
. personal preference for private life.
