The General Expression Favorable Toward IL.
CHICAGO, December 4.-The Times criti-
cises the Presidents message as being mere
like an address from the throne than any
document of the kind since Washington's
time, but commeuds it for its non-partisan
features.
The Tribune finds the message obiectiona-
BILE chiefly for its recommendations on the
silver question aud for its unusual length.
The hter Ocean regards it as dignibed,
worthy document, vigorous and straight
forward message, one of the best given to
the country for fifteen years. All the jour
mails notice its great length.
NEW YORK, December THE journals
are crowded to-day with the Presidents mes
sage, and the documents incident TO the
opening of the new Congress. The message
IT, .lf is universally we'll spoken of, particu-
larry by Republican and independent sheets.
The World says: The message in word
is full of views, and the views are not pre-
tended 10 be The views Of the codntry or
even of the party, but only The personal opin-
ions Of the author Of the message, which are
to be taken as going for what they are worth.
| No careful reader Of the message can fail 10
note this peculiarly, and few reflective read
ers will be at loss to assign it to its true
ca Use. Is is the same cause which made the
| letter of acceptance Of the Republican eau
didate for Vice President last year so much
more ouispoken aud positive than the letter
Of the Republican candidate for President.
The World concludes: In regard to the
finances and 30 our foreign relations, zoe
President saeaks with iorce and clea' ness
which will command the respect OF patriotic
men Of all parties.
