Press Opinions.
From the Baltimore Day:

From the Baltimore Day:
1t is now asserted that the star-route prose-
cutions are fast becoming a political farce,
and the case on trial, which twas the weakest
one the government had, was deliberately
put forward in order that there might be a
failure This is a serious accusation, but, I'M
fortunately for the governments attorneys,
the developments in the case thus far give no
assurance that the conviction of the thieves
is not the last thing which the prosecution
hopes to accomplish.
From the Philadelphia Times:
With the whole Democratic organization
boldly marshaled under the banner of reform
and under the lead of the most pronounced
reform leaders, and with a large portion ofthe
Republican party independently organized for
REFORM it is safe to assume that the deliver
ance of Pennsylvania is at hand. The people
are about ready to boss the bosses, and they
will be heard with emphasis about next Jan
uary, when the youngest governor the State
has ever had will deliver his inaugural address.
From the Ne,c York Times, Rep.
An unusual sagacity has guided the Demo
Gratis of Pennsylvania in their nomination.
The ticket as completed yesterday destroys
Cameron's last hope. for the expected blum
ders and quarrels through which alone Gen.
Beavers election would have been possible
have been avoided. The nominations seem to
be not only the strongest in political sense
that could have been made, but the wisest and
best when considered from the non-partisan
point of view.

The political consequences of Guiteau :
crime may last through more than one adj
ministration he was right in his boast that
! he made Arthur President and brought the
stalwarts into power. He thereby wrought q
change not only in the policy of the govern
ment, but also in the personnel of ITS repubh-
/ can supporters. II has caused serious dlvi-
sions within the lines Of the republican party,
