The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1879-03-25
PHTH OF THE PRESS.

Buffalo Express (Rep): 1t is believed
that Mr.. Randall will be pretty goot
temporary nephew.
Pittsburgh Dispatch (Rep.): 1t woulc
save deal of trouble about the Ohio
gubernatorial nomination if Farmer Gar
field would quietly consent to take it.
New York Tribune (Rep): Politica
soothsayers who are naming Garfield fol
the second place on the ticket ought t.
remember that he is good enough for the
first place anywhere.
Pittsburg Post (Dem.): Since the
Southern people have got back into the
Union they seem to be occupying more
room than was originally intended. 1t i,
making some hearts ache.
Chicago Telegraph Qnd.): 1t was a
very bad sign that Congressman are talk
ing about Legislation to relieve the peo-
pie of their burdens" The chief burden
the people want to be relieved of Just now
Is Congress.
Detroit News Ind.) Senator H. Chand-
Ter was in Detroit on st. Patrick's Day.
and yet singular as it may seem, he was
consplcuously absent from the procession
of his traditional allies in his war on the
British Lion.
Cleveland Herald (Rep.) 1t is to be
hoped there will be 10 unnecessary delay
in setting a day apart for Congressional
eulogies of Wilkes Booth. 1t is only fair,
after giving jeff. a send-of, that Wilkes
should come in for his share.
Memphis Appeal: Our streets have
undergone complete change, and our
sanitary condition is vastly improved.
And what is better, our sanitary affairs
are in the hands of men who will enforce
every rule and regulation necessary to
our safety.
New Orleans Times (Dem.): All the
Southern members who voted for Mr..
Randall have, by that act, confessed that
they care more for the personal advan-
tages which he was able to offer them
than they do for the public interests they
have sworn faithfully to advocate.
Pittsburg Telegraph Qnd.): The
Democrats of the Sixth Congressional
District of Texas after seventy-six bal
lots nominated Columbus Upsen to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
Schleicher. If Upsen is as able a man as
Schleicher he will be worth the three
days fight in convention.
Philadelphia Times Ind): An Indi-
annapolis Democratic paper has caught
the coming man in the person of Thomas
A. Hendricks, and, fearing lest he should
get away, has nailed him to the mast
head. 1t was an unnecessary precaution.
Mr.. Hendricks is always around in the
way when there is a Presidential candi-
date to be nominated.
New York Sun (Dem): No monarchy
in Europe would tolerate such power as
the Supervisors statute confers on par
tisan agents. 1t is not only disgrace to
the laws of the United States but to our
boasted civilization, by which the liberty
of the citizen may be outraged and the
voter deprived of his rights, and in the
innocent and lawful exercise of them he
may be imprisoned and fined.
New York Times (Rep.): The maiori-
ty in the House gave specimen of its
partisan temper by promptly seating
Hull, instead of Bisbee, from the disputed
district in Florida. The latter's right to
his seat is no less substantial than that
of Mr.. Randall himself, and the so-calIed
election of Hull was a fraud of the most
palpable character. But the Democratic
majority is too small to permit the party
to. indulge in the luxury of justice.
Boston Herald (Ind): Now that the
Democrats possess a majority in both
branches of Congress, the committees of
the Senate will hardly be so active in
correction. Yet the composition of the
Finance Committee of the upper cham
Der is still a matter of the greatest signif-
cance. We are sorry to say that the re-
cent changes, SO far as they go, run in
the direction of unsoundness Mr.. Bay-1
ard, the chairman, is quite as strong a
man and in every way as trustworthy as
was his predecessor, Mr.. Morrill,. But
the replacement of Mr.. Dawes by Mr..
Beck is a sore blow to the good cause of
honest money. d Tho Massachu etts Sena-
tor, at least, recently, has been a stanch
supporter not only of specie payments
but Of payments in gold.
