moving for his reelection, notwithstand-
ing his public notice that he did not de-
sire to return.
Ohio State Journal (Rep.): Conkling
got away with Lamar when he called him
member" That proved too much for
the fiery Mississippian, and duel is I'M
minent. Speaker Neal should take warn
ing.
st. Louis Post-Dispatch (Dem.): If
the Democrats should lose Ohio this fall
they will gain in the character of their
Presidential candidate next year. His
name would then be, beyond question,
Thomas Francis Bayard.
Indianapolis Journal (Rep.): Ben.
Hills views of State sovereignty have
moderated wonderfully since 1861. His
voice is not now for war. He has seen
the elephant, tickled his tail, and doesn't
want any more of it in hio'n.
Washington Post (Dem.): Even in the
Radical States of Blaine and Anthony a
cruel statute bars the way of any Cau-
casian who would seek matrimonial fe-
licity by an alliance with family whose
ancestors migrated hither from Africa.
Chicago Inter-Ocean (Rep.): The evil
dence accumulates that Gen. Cary and
his crowd can not transfer the Green
hackers of Ohio to the arms Of the De-
mocracy. There will be music of more
than one kind at Toledo on the 24th.
San Francisco Bulletin (Rep.) 1t now
seems to be generally assumed in Califor-
MIA that the twenty hold-over Senators
are legislated out of Office by the new
Constitution, and that a full Senate will
be elected by the people in September.
In fact, some Of the "hold-overs" are out
as candidates for reelection.
Pittsburg Telegraph (Ind.): 1t may
have been inevitable, but it is none the
less to be regretted, that the extra ses-
sion has forced precedent for declaring
beforehand that undesirable measures
will be vetoed. That it will be followed
in other crises and to the harm of just
government can not be doubted.
st. Paul Pioneer Press (Ind): Mr..
Gariield's nervous apprehension that the
Democrats may make people suspect that
he and his party wish to use the army as
an ordinary police force is, to use his own
metaphor, a very small piece of cheese to
tempt him and them into such transpa-
rent trap Of self-stultiication as that.
Atlanta Constitution (Dcm.): Our re-
spectcd contemporary, the Buffalo Ex-
press, may now add the Chandler boom
TO its collection of political curosties.
In the opinion of the Express, if VIC mis-
take not, Zachary is what is known in the
Georgia vernacular as the bull of the
woods with cockle-bur in his left ear.
Baltimore Gazette (Dem.): Notwith-
standing the strict rules OF the Senate
Messrs. Lamar and Conkling succeeded
last night in branding each other as liars,
towards and backguartls. 1t was late at
night and nothing but the stringent rules
of the body of which they are members
prevented them from becoming indecor-
Gus.
Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle (Dem.): SEN
ator Hill knew all of his recent speech
until he struck the Scriptural quotation;
then he had to consult authority. And
Mr.. Davis, in his recent speech before the
Mississippi Press Convention, made Job
say, 81 believe my ayenger liveth." The
statesmen are certainly a little slack on
Scripture.
Milwaukee Sentinel (Rep.): If the
Southern States could conduct them
selves as the Northern States do; if they
would be content to bear their part in
the Union without seeking to cripple it;
if they would allow a genuinely republi-
can form of government amongst them,
no party in power would ever dare to in
terfere with their elections.
New York Tribune (Rep.): Hendricks
is splitting mad at Tilden, Bayard is sulky
mad at the caucus, Thurman is snivelng
mad at everybody. Great men don't get
mad. Tilden never does. Without pas
sion, without bowels, with one glazed eye
resting patiently on his talented wire.
yankers who continually hump them
selves under this uncomfortable encour-
agement, he sits in Godlike and clammy
serenity and waits.
New York Times (Rep.): Tuesday
next the Ohio Nationals will be forced
into indorsing the Democratic candi,
dates, Ewing and Rice. Meanwhile, the
Communistc and repudiating wing of
the party will continue to maintain a
separate organization and support its
own candidates. The vote cast for the
extremist candidates will 90 far to de-
termine the future of the National
Party, not only in Ohio, hut also in con-
tiguous States affected by similar infu-
ences.
New York Telegraph Tnd.) Lamar
acted like gentleman in his last nights
extraordinary scene in the U. S. Senate,
and Conkling like rufian. The latter
is overmatched in all that is decent and
