PITH OF THE PRESS.


nate. This is the year for good crops.
Toledo Blade (Rep.): Even the South
ern Brigadiers admit that the Lenars
Sentinel shrieker writes better and more
forcible English than the Oklahoma States
bawler
ST. Louis Globe-Democrat (Rep.): Ben.
Hill is reported as saying that he sincere
ly hopes that Grant is in earnest in his
"decllnation." We consider it safe
thing always to take the other side from
Ben. Hill in his hopes and fears.
st. Louis Glohe-Democrat Rep.):
Carl Schurz will meyer forgive Grant for
finding out that he (S;hurz) was not a
great general. Carl is devoting about
half of his campaign speeches-$l50
worth of each, that is-to abuse OF Grant.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat, (Rep.) We
hope there is no truth in the report that
Mr.. Schurz will, under certain circum-
stances, support Grant. The Grant
movement can stand anything but the
support of Mr.. Schurtz. That would be
fatal to it.
Lafayette, Ind, Dispatch (Dem.) The
Eastern politicians are, it is said making
every effort for the denomination of Til
den. The people of Indiana must insist
on the nomination of a Western man at
all hazards, and his initials are-Hon.
| Thos. A. Hendricks.
Chicago Tribune (Rep.): 1t is pretty
generally conceded in Ohio, and by the
principal managers of the canvass, that
Gen. Ewing's defeat is foregone, and
the Thurman "idea" is assuming shape
that may bring good deal Of trouble
into the Democratic Convention of 1880.
New York Herald Qnd.): The Chair
man of the Ohio Democratic Committee
assures Herald correspondent that he
has no doubt General Ewing will be
elected. The Chairman of the Ohio Re
publican Committee, next door, assures
him that he has no doubt Mr.. Foster will
be elected.
Baltimore Herald Gnd.): There is not
a shadow of "scare" in Massachusetts
over the reappearanceof of Gen. Butler as
a claimant. Nobody has any idea that
he can succeed or come 50 near success
as he did last wear. The liveliest emotion
is one of surprise that the General doesn't
know when he is beaten.
!. Chicago Times (Ind.): Conover, for
merly of Florida, who was promoted on
the expiration of his term of Office as U.
S. Senator to 81, 200 inspectorship un-
der the Treasury Department, is at
Washington endeavoring to induce John
Sherman to give him something better
still. He might do as porter.
Chicago Inter-Ocean (Rep): Senator
Eaton, of Connecticut, advises the Demo
Gratis not to hug the delusion that Gen
eral Grant will be an easy man to beat.
He believes that the people have a sort
of confidence in Grant which can not be
easily shaken. II is evident that the
Democrats do not want Grant to be {
candidate.
New Haven Union (Grecnback.): Re
funding is not.an accomplished fact, Mr.
John Sherman, and will not be unit
friends of the First National Bank have
refunded" says the New York Sun. Thi'
is what the people of Ohio told Sherman
. and he found himself in such disa
Ala, fxr tb ha nonoalInI oil hi
! speaking engagements.
Baltimore Gazette (Dem.) The crafty
ing news comes from Ohio that the Demo
cratic Committee having charge of th'
e campaign has made a, raise of SOM
}. money and now has a small barrel ol
e tap. We get this intelligence from Re
publican newspapers, but it is cheering
nevertheless. We are induced to believ
g. now that some missionary work will b
- done in the close districts.
+ Elizabeth City North Caroliniar
(Rep.): There are two things abou
John Sherman that make him a stron
and safe man: he is neither rash in judg
ment nor precipitate in action. He is
>. self-made man, possesses superior abil
ties, commanding character, and is a
- answering Republican. Upon all thG
pertains to the great doctrines of huma
rights he is firm and true.
:. ST. Louis Times-Journal Gnd): On
d thing is now made manifestly clear, tlls
IS Samuel J.. Tilden was not the choice {
rt the Democratic party Of the Unite
n States for President i'll 1876. The trr
y and honest choice was Thomas A. HeI
as bricks, of Indiana, and if Mr.. Hcndricl
le had been nominated he would to-da

~ Baltimore Gazette (Dem.): Hon. ]
=. B. Washburne has private and strict
IN confidential letter from Grant in whiC
IN that worthy person says he is not cand
I'd date for President, but that if the Repn
lican party insists on dragging him in
public life again, he will put up with tt
IN Inconvenience. We have had no privat
W communication with Grant since he le
Ill the country, but we have all along had
ne sneaking disposition that he occupied ju
h. about such platform as this
