The Quincy Herald: THE lesson Of
Ohio: TO the suffers belong the spolls.
The Akron City tOhio) Times: The
Democratic ROSTERS are saving their voices
for lusty crow next year
The Boston Post: "Blaine's voice has
given out, which is saying that nine tentns
of his capital is not at present available.
The Albany Press and KnickerbocEer::
1T is said Mr.. Tilden withdraws from the
Presidential race and urges the nomlna-
ton of General Hancock. That kills Han
cock."
The Philadelphia Chronicle Herald: |
1T might be that Mr.. Eyarts could hold
on to his portfolio under Grants but we
think the little man is throwing away his
time and talent.
|. The Dayton (Ohio) Democrat: 1T is
strange fact that Ohio has not gone Dem
ocratic on a full vote since 1858. nor been
carried by the Democrats in the year pre-
ceding Presidential election since 1851.

[From the Albany August
| Farmers have their tax bills on Dix's
| $4,000 900 basis and on Robinson's ST.
OO0,O basis, They know whether s.
600. 900 are more or less than $1,000, 900.
Tax payers have not become fools merely
because Radical publicists have become
hardy enough to deny facts.

| L tell you what I'd like to see" said a
well-known young aristoerat at the Palace
hotel yesterday; I'D like to see Grant
| in tor life, senators chosen for life, and
sons of both presidents and senators to
succeed. We needn't call it kingdom.
but then we'd have chance to get few
of our best families recognized IN Europe.

The south is solid because We of the
South are the peculiar victims of Repub-
lican policy, policy which actually sub
iected for six mortal years and which
would subject a gain property TO pauper-
! ism, Intelligence to ignorance. honesty to
theft and peace to anarchy. The North
is not solid and cannot become so, since
the theory of government which the Re-
publican party would apply in the South
strikes at the liberties of North and South
alike.
{ The Cincinnati ENQUIRER. president
, Hayes took back to Washington with him
barrel OF potatoes to remind him Of Ohio.
The future historian. in dwelling upon this
fact, will point to the base iugratitude of a
' State which, after receiving two thirds OF
, the patronage of the President. should on
his first visit give him few cold potatoes
and send him home again. Perhaps Mr.
) James q. BlaiDe's name will be found in
the bottom of that barrel,
} The Columbus, Democrat: 1--WE don't
, propose to howl because the Republicans
redistrict the State, We expect them to
do 1t. But don't play the hypocrite
Don't pretend you are only wipIng out
: partisan legislation, and only want to re-
store the representation to what you are
pleased to call fair basis. Twelve repre-
sentatives out of twenty on vote of a
bare fraction over fifty per cent. is not a
fair basis, and you know it. We expect
{ you to steal all you can get your hands on,
and do all the mean, dirty work that a
political party is capable of. But do it
. openly and you will be entitled to more
, respect. Sanctimonious villainy is more
offensive than villainy plain and direct.
The Republican party in its thieving oper
atoms is like the man who asked the
blessing of God upon what he proposed to
do, and then went ont and stole his neigh
boris sheep"
From the Philadelphia Record.
The Ohio idea" will not be thoroughly
strangIed until the national treasury is
freed from the perils that attach to con-
Quoting bank of issue. This seductive
idea" was fastened upon the finances of
the nation In 1862, when the first legal
tender law was passed by a Republican
lcongress. and it was given renewed vigor
in 1870 by supreme court the member
ship OF which was suspiciously made up by
a Republican president Ii would now be
fitting tor a Democratic congress to smoth-
er the idea" IN the place of its birth by
directing the secretary of the treasury to
call In and cancel the outstanding green
backs.

7. All who fed at the public crib during
the palmy days of Grantism. They know

third term-sure.
These are the banded forces on which
Cornell and his ticket rely for success.
On the side of Lucius Robinson are the
Democracy, who determined at Syracuse
that his upright administration should be
sustained and the insolent. dictation of
Tammanp hall resented as it deserved.
And with them are the independent mas
ses OF the honest people.
