PlTH OF THE PRESS.

Kansas City Times (Dem.): 1t is hard
to say what lack Chandler would say
politically on sober second thought. Fact
is he has 10 sober first thoughts.
Boston Post (Dem.): The idea which
Stoughton is said to entertain that he
would be an ornament to the English
mission is ridiculous. Something be-
sides hair is needed at that post.
indianapolis News Gnd.): In the light
of cipher dispatches and the temper de-
veloped by the Democrats in the Extra
Session, the only usurpation the people
remember is that which they have at
tempted.
New York Star Dem.): The cyclone
that struck the Kentucky Republican
State ticket last Monday does not seem
to have been unprecedentedly ly severe, but
scarchers are still out in quest of the
fragments of the wreck.
Utica Republican (Rep.): The politics
of New York State have lacked good,
ugly, vicious fight, such as now seems to
be impending, ever since the "barn-
burner" days. There is just about as
much principle involved now as then.
Atlanta Constitution (Dem.): A selfish
view of the situation would incline us to
advise the Democratic party to allow the
election laws to so unrepealed. When
we once get in power, Republican prece-
dent will be good thing to have around
the house.
Cleveland Herald (Rep.) 1t is fright,
fully hot, there is no denying it, yet we
may console ourselves with the reflection
that the Brigadiers are comfortable at
all events They are in the hotels by the
shore of the sea and in the cool noun
tain resorts, and the people are paying
their bills.
New York Tribune (Rep.): VIM. E.
Chandler told a reporter in Eureka, New,
the other day that the Republican Presi,
dental fight would be between Blaine
Sherman and Grant, with the chances
decidedly in favorof Blaine. Chambers
friendship for Blaine evidently stands the
racket Of time.
New York Commercial Advertiser
(Rep.): Gen. Grant, Z. B. Washburne
John Sherman, Roscoe Conkling, james
G. Blaine or VIM. A. Wheeler, if nomi,

ticket it is possible for the Democrats tC
place in the field.
New York Star (Dem.): If ever the
Democratic party is to regain that ascen
dency which it enjoyed under the Ad
ministrations of Jefferson, Madison, Mon
roe and Jackson, it can only do it by
throwing overheard trading politician.

friend, Lucus Robinson.
st. Louis Times-Journal (Rep.): The
attitude Of Mr.. Tilden in and his rela
tions to his party at this time are some
what embarrassing. Prominent Demo
Gratis and newspapers are trying to ge
him away from the prospective candi
dacy, but the majority of the party, par
ticularly in the West, are in favor o.
him.
New York Tribune (Rep): Mr.. Beau

Democratic triumph and the adoption o.
measures by "our wisest statesmen" O.

growing. In the United States there il
very little feeling on the subject, anC
