between Kelly and Robinson, hooray for
Cornell
Pittsburg Telegraph Ind. J; The Demo-
cratic National Committee was of epin-
ion with reference to affairs in New York
that it was wise 10 let bad enough alone.
Troy Times (Rep.): Butler stands even
a poorer chance of success this year than
he did last, in opr judgment, for it seems
hardly possible that the artifices by
which he has sought to obtain prestige
can deceive anybody Of ordinary intelli-
gence.
Chicago Tribune (Rep. " Congressman
Cox laid heavy load on Tammany Hall
last night when he declared that to that
organization the country was indebted
for the extra session of Congress Mr.
Cox is too candid to make good Tam
many man.
Chicago Inter-Ocean (Rep.): Thurman
in Ohio, says an exchange, Everywhere
meets with a cool reception" But it is
nothing to the biting frost he will ex-
perience early in October. 1t will make
"goose flesh" stand out on his muscles like
warts on a toad.
Chicago Telegraph (Dem.): Alex
ander Mitchell, the monopolist of Wis
consin, has gone back to the Radicals.
He never should have left them. The
Democrats of that State ought to be
beaten out of their boots for putting such
man at the head OF their ticket.
Baltimore Gazette (Dem.): Mr.. Hen
bricks is now enjoying glorious respite.
The fiery Watterson is hurling at John
Kelly all the sulphurous epithets and
three-cornend adjectives which he had
prepared for the Indiana statesman and
the friends of Thomas are delighted with
the diversion.
The Democratic party was indicted
during the recent session of Congress, and
the verdict is Just now being rendered by
the States. Senator Thurman will soon
have reason to sing different song than
that at the closing of the session: 81
shall look back upon this called session Of
Congress as one Of the happiest periods Of
my life"
Nashville Banner (Dem.): The Cincin-
matt Commercial says Ewing is still on
the track. 1t must be bad off for news
when it published fact patent to every
one and distressingly so to the CONNER
cial. Of course Ewing is on the track,
and he will take the purse next month if
there is anything in indications. Ohio
will scarcely repudiate two such gallant
soldiers as Ewing and Rice.
New York Star CTammany Dem. J:
Samuel J. Tilden's reason for selecting
the New York Times as his organ is not
generally known. The editor of the
Times and Samuel J. are personal friends,
who dine together frequently, and enter
tain the warmest admiration for ca
others talents. In this explanation Re
publcans will understand why A. B
Cornell is opposed by the Times
Detroit News (Ind.) }: Alexander Mitch
ell, the billionairs Scotchman, of Mil
waukee, having somewhat contemptu
ously thrown their nomination for Gov
ernor in the face of the Democrats o.
Wisconsin, the Central Committee have
substituted James Jenkins, Of Milwau
kee, as their standard bearer. With
Mitchell the Democrats had little chance
of success; with Jenkins they have
none.
New York Sun Qnd. Dem.): The de
feat of Gov. Robinson means the prob
able defeat of the Democratic party a
the next election of President. Has Mr.
Kelly fully considered the weight of re
sponsibility resting upon him? If he ha
fully considered, weighed well the conse
ouences, and is still determined to ruiz
his party because he can not rule it will
desDotic power, ought not every tru
Democrat to shrink from following hin
in his mad career?
Syracuse Herald Qnd.): General But
Ter is to be congratulated on havin
not nearly so formidable an adversary t
| fight this year as last. Mr.. Talbot is t
the Massachusetts Republicans wha
Horatio Seymour is to the New Yor
Democrats. and he could not have f lie
to be dangerous foe; Mr.. Long, howeve
has the disadvantage of representing tn
machine rather than the reform wing c
his party, and is very little known ou
side of politics.
New Orleans Democrat (Dem.): Th
"Okolona Ass" got as far as Freeport, tn
other day, where he was advertised to d'
liver his speech on Sunny Southland.
. He happened to glance into the hall b
fore beginning his Grafton and found on
eleven persons present, not enough to pa
for the gas This "riled' him and he d'
clined to speak, throwing up his engage
ment. lie will return South at onc
and his disappointment in his lecturin
tour will probably give zest to the abu'
he will now heap on the people OF tt
North and West.
Boston Traveller (Rep.): The Butte
party of this State is engaged in the il
teraetin1 exneriment of irving to increa!
