THE DAILY STAR


the nomination OF Grant and Blaine,
they will be scratching.
East Tennessee Sentinel (Dem.): Mr..
Tilden is sixty-six years old. is in good
health, is the first choice of the Democ-
racy for President, and can have the
Nomination of he wants it.
Boston Post (Dem.): Ethan Allen hits
the bulls eye when he says of the third
term advocates: "These conspirators call
for strong man who will not be count
ed OUT are they not really seeking
strong man who will persist upon being
counted IMP"
Providence Star (Rep.): Ex-Governor
Bullock. of Massachusetts,, favors the
denomination of President Hayes. The
latter was elected on the grand idea of
one term, he himself favoring it, and
his many friends would not have the
principle changed.
Peoria Journal (Rep.): We have re-
ceived copy of the Syracuse Courier
containing lonrr puff of Hugh J, Jewett,
of Ohio, for President May the saints
protect us! Another Ohio man on the
track. Pray tell us whossis Hugh j.
Jewett, and what has he done that he
should be President. That sort of thing
k getting onerous.
New London Telegram (Rep.): The
question of the nomination of General
Grant for President by the Republic
cans, does not involve the question of a
third term in the proper sense. 1t is
simply question of party expediency
which should be carefully considered
by the Chicago Convention in all its
bearings.
Nashville Banner Dem.): With the
end of the last canvass the fight for
Tilden, so far as the Democrats are con-
cerned, ended. 1t is most preposterous
to suppose that he can be an eligible can
didate. No Democrat can be elected
without New York, and Tilden can not
carry New York. With this understand
ing we had just as well think no more
aboutit.
Chicago Daily News Ind.): Senator
Bayard says, in substance, stand in 1880
where l stood in 1861. In 1861 l stood
where l stand in 1880. If nineteen years
standing has not caused him to vary his
position in politics, everybody knows just
where to find him. But the trouble is
that the country has now no secession,
and no State rights, save what are under
the feet of Mr.. Bayard. Don't move,
6enatorl We spell Nation with big N
nowadays
New York Times (Rep.): Mr.. Ran
dolph employs his eloquence to deny that
Gen. Porter was guilty of treason. That
was not the ofense he was charged with
or convicted of. Even should he now be
relieved from further disabilities for his
conduct in August, 1862, on the strength
of the favorable opinion of the revisory
board, Congress should not, by its action,
hold that conduct up as model for
young officers to initiate, and as a fit OBJ
ject for popular admiration.
Utica Observer Dem.): There must
Oe fair field and no favor. The Con-
vention is SO constituted (under the two
thirds rule) that the will of the party is
sure to find expression in the nomination.
New York can afford to wait until some
of the other leading States have spoken.
If our State Convention is called too early,
it will be asserted that we are trying to
forestall the action of the National Con-
yention. In truth, this State is not SO
welded to any man but what it can sacri-
fee him to the good of the cause.
Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem.)
There is not the slightest probability of
an early adjournment of Congress. The
House has spent the session thus far
languidly discussing the revised rules,
which have just been adopted. The
remaining eleven Appropriation Bills are
now in order (the Pension Bill has been
passed), and some of them have not been
drafted; the Funding Bill will be largely
discussed in the House; the contested
election cases from Indiana and Mime.
sofa will consume much time, as will the
debate on the bill appropriating money to
pay United States Marshals.
Milwaukee Sentinel (Rep.C John
Sherman has achieved the point he aimed
at on taking the Office of Secretary Of
the Treasury. The figures representing
the National debt are headed by in.
stead of 2, according to the Secretary's
desire to reduce the debt to below two
billions Of dollars before the expiration
Of his term. Together with his brilliant
management Of the National finances
this result is a subject for congratula
ton. The reduction has been prudent
and steady, and that too, in the face O.
stubborn opposition and obstruction
from unlooked-for quarters. If Mr.
Sherman is not elected President, it will
be honor enough for him and his chill
dren to recall his services to the coun
try as the foremost fnancier of this coun
try and age.
