New York Sun (lnd. Dem.): Now
that he has dismissed G Commissioner Hayt
to the friendly obscurity of private life,
it behooves Herr Carl Schurz to acquire
a new scapegoat without unnecessary de-

Courier-Journal: The Cincinnatians
are agitating themselves over breach
of-promise suit in which the lady has
passed her fiftieth birthday. This comes
of cuitivating taste for the sensational
and the antique. 't i' ~. ID.
New York Tribune (Rep): lm't there
any fun in this Congressi If somebody
would mix those Turner's up again the
weary monotony of bill-introducing
would be broken in harmless and mild

Chicago Inter-Ocean fRep.): That
General Garfield comes out squarely for
John Sherman, instead of attempting to
divide the vote of Ohio with Gov. Foster,
fills the Cincinnati Enquirer with sad
ness nearly column in length. ~
San Francisco Call Ind.): No doubt
the politicians of the East generally be-
lieve that California will cast her vote
at the next Presidential election without
much regard to the Chinese question.
Here is where a great mistake is likely to
be made. t-I ;t. - Et'l'f
St. Paul Globe {Dem.}: But either of
the three gentlemen mentioned would
stand far better show of election than
Grant. Speaking as Democratic paper,
the Globe would fear the candidacy of
ConkGng, Blaine or Sherman more than
that of Grant. ..... ......... ..'.,....
New York Times (Rep.G Poor Mr..
Weaver is not very happy in his position
as eommander-in-chief Of the Greenback
forces in the House. He gets constant

parties, that he can not appeal to either
to resent the insults Of the other.
Dayton Democrat (Dem.): A majority
of the Senate Finance Committee has
made an adverse report on the Warner
silver bill. The minority of the COM
mittee, which is more likely TO be in
accord with the sentiments of a major
ity of the Senators, will be heard from
hereafter. -i" sahr .nl
Indianapolis News Gnd.): It might
be well to say to the Journal that SEN
ator (Don. Cameron was never appointed
Minister to Russia, and therefore Secre-
tary Sherman never voted against his
confirmation. That hurt was done to
the elder Cameron; an injury, which, like
freedoms battle once begun, is be-
queathed from bleeding sire to son. a'i-7'
Indianapolis Sentinel (Dem.):" If the

an innocent negro" we wonder who can

Indianapolis Sentinel (Dem.): Chas.
L. Holstein, Esq, has been appointed

place Of Colonel Trusler, deceased. Mr..
Holstein has been Deputy United States

takes high grounds in favor Of Sherman

Boston Herald:(Ind. The rivalry
is now getting intense, and it seems t'
be part Of the method of some Of the
candidates to throw Sherman offsthe
track, by stating that he is trying to
climb to the Presidential nomination by
aid of the Custom House. As he has
not made such an effort in Boston, II is
fair to presume he is equally innocent of
