Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1883-12-13
Some Press Points.

st. Louis Post-Dispatch: No speaker
was ever elected by a more truly nation
al vote.
Omaha Herald: The election of Mr..
Carlisle is the most important and the
most favorable event in the history of
the present year.
Atlanta Constitution: Editor Romeo
Reed, of Cincinnati, calls for "a consti-
tutional tonic" In Ohio this means
two schooners of beer.
Nincennes Sun: Deacon Smith calls
the chamber of commerce, of Cincin-
natl, collection of d fools. The dea-
con is prominent member.
Memphis Appeal: The tidal wave on
which the present congress rode into
power meant something, and woe to
those who prove recreant to their trust.
Pittsburg Post: 1t hardly consorts
with the dignity or intelligence of man
hood to go into Mysteries over imagin-
ary evils, or suggests the North may be
as easily frightened from its prOpriety
in 1888 as it was in 1866.
Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep.): Ex-
President Grant lies, almost forgotten
now, as mere politician in the grave
in which the third term conspirators
rudely laid him. He is not at all the
same person as General Grant, the hero
of our wars.
Stcubenville Gazette: The Cincinna-
ii Commercial says that Carlisle is from
the center of population of the United
States. This being true, the CONNER
cial should stop its childish remarks
about the gentleman being Il sectional
speaker.
indianapolis News: Will some phil
osopher, or Psychologist, or statician ex-
plain why it is that but 4, 1891 men of the
war 1912 survive, while there are q 1856
widows Of soldiers of that war surviv-
ing?-more than four times as many
women as men.
st. Louis Post-Dispatch: The injury
done to the business interests of the
country by the election of Carlisle is
spreading. President Maxon, of the
Bobtail Line, will hereafter be COM
PEELED to pack siXty-seven passengers on
one of his cattle cars, instead of fixing
the limit at sixty five, as heretofore.
Philadelphia Record: The people
who object to the selection of a distin-
guished citizen of acknowledged fitness
and ability because of his locality are
themselves sectionalists, though they
do not seem to perceive it. This coun-
try is too great to encourage any such
narrow minded prejudice.
Chicago Tribune: AT last accounts
Nasby of the Toledo Blade, was still en-
gagged in "pulverizing the rum power.n
The process, supposed to be as follows,
is simple enough: First pulverize the
lump of sugar in a little water at the
bottom of the glass, then add the rum
powder, stir well, and pulverize the
whole dose in three swallows.
indianapolis Sentinel: Mr.. Carlisle
is very quiet gentleman, who practi-
ces mostly in Ohio courts at Cincinnati.
He lives over the river about mile
from Cincinnati. On this sort of slen-
der foundation the Republican papers
sing out "the solid South" and flop and
futter the bloody shirt. Randali's de-
feat was Republican defeat.
Chicago Times: The sudden and un-
expected appearance of the Democratic
party as party of principles and ideas
will no doubt be disconcerting to the
grand old party. The g. 0. D., it is in
ferred, will be plunged into very per-
picking dilemma when it comes to a
decision between taxation on tobacco
and whisky and that on blankets and
common dress goods.
