PlTH OF THE PRESS.

sawed the boat.
Baltimore Gazette (Dem.): 1t is a sig
nifcant fact that in Washington, where
General Grant is best known, there was
no enthusiasm over his arrival.
Utica Observer (Dem.): The work
that has been done in Maine does not
meet the approval of the Democratic
party. Although the law may justify
it, the spirit of equity and justice con-
demns it.
Philadelphia Press (Rep.): The old
saying that "a renegade is worse than
ten Turks" is illustrated by ex-senator
Lyman Trumbull, now of Chicago, who
comes to the front as an apologist for the
iniquitous Executive usurpation in
Maine.
Kansas City Journal (Rep.); There Is
something peculiar in the State Govern
ment of Maine. The Legislature makes
the Governor, and the Governor makes
the Legislature. This doable-back ac-
ton seems to leave the people out of the
question entlrely.
Chicago News (Ind.): Governor Gar
celon, of Maine, will not submit his count
to the Supreme Court, and is inclined to
use force in carrying out the decision Of
the Council. The Maine business Ne
minds one Of Louisiana's muddle. The
Democrats appear to have skinned their
cat.
indianapolis News Qnd.); At one of
the recent ratification" meetings in
Maine, somebody nominated Garcelon as
''the next Democratic candidate for
President" The ticket ought to be Gear
ceon and Barksdale." Maine and Mis-
sissippi clasping hands across the bloody
chasm and showing the world different
methods OF keeping candidates out OF
Offices
Mayersville (Miss.) Spectator (Dem.) J:
As the "Solid South" gives the North so
much trouble, and threatens to capture
the next Presidency, as it has the Capt.
tol, would it not be good time for the
Radicals to give the Southern States per-
mission to secede and establish Govern
ment of their own? Give us permission
to retire, and you can have the Presi-
dency or any thing else you can steal.
New York World (Dem.): Mr.. Mont
gomery Blair has not profted by the ad-
vice which President Lincoln once gave
his brother, General Frank, mot to
waste his talents on his temper" He
appears to be in q chronic state of rage
about something; which is pity, be-
cause it prevents him from throwing the
light he must be able to throw on the
real reasons which led President Lincoln
to kick him out of Republican Cabinet
into the Democratic party.
Chicago Tribune (Rep.): The fuss that
the Democrats are making over theil
candidates for President and Vice Presi-
dent in 1880 would be more consistent
and excusable if there were a strong
probability of electing them. As long
as there Is nothing so successful as sue
cess, and as the Republicans hold both
bowers and the ace in the Presidential
game, the struggle of ambitious politi
clans for the nomination only proves
"what shadows men are and what shad
ows they pursue" ,r s.
Cleveland Herald (Rep.): When th'
Grant boomers are in the silence Of thei
chambers they should prayerfully con
slider that the Germans are solidly op
posed to third term at the present a
at least, and that, with the German vot
unit against us, Ohio and Wisconsin
would be in the noble army of State
that are doubtful. There is no - over
, looking the fact that this is the situation
at the present moment, though there i
e no harm in imagining things that nigh
occur within the next six months t.
change the state of affairs.
Columbus (O) Journal (Rep.): w
have not the slightest objection to an.
one, Republican or Democrat, opposin
the nomination or election of Gen. Grant
There may be abundance of legitimat
reasons why he should not be given ar
other term; many objections occur to Il
which we do not care to urge at thl
time; but we are sick almost unto deaf
of this silly stuff about an Empire, a lif'
tenure and all that kind of thing. Sue
pretended argument is an insult to tn
Intelligence Of the American people, an
an Impeachment of their patriotism an
love OF liberty.
Baltimore Gazette Dem.): Gen. Pre-
ton, of Kentucky, says that the Dem
cratic party is a strong army led by ,wea
Captains. This comes very near IL
truth. As soon as good Captain a
pears on horseback in front some foo
sore and starving member Of the san
cufotte in the rear knocks him down vii
q brickbat, for the simple reason that b
epaulets glitter too gorgeously in the su
light, and his voice is too harsh for Il
delicate ears Of men born to freedor
The painful march Of the Democrat
party is marked by the bodies Of sla
Captains, whose wounds are chiefly in t
