in proportion to his value as laborer In
the South.
Indianapolis Sentinel, (Dem.): Mosby
is still at work showing up the rotten
ness of United States officials in China,
but Evarts keeps the rascals in ofhce all

Boston Post (Dem.): As long as the
Democrats in Congress keep their spinal
columns in the present perpendicular

Denver News (Dem.): If Tilden, di-

degradation that it depends on any man.
it ought to perish.
