Comments of the Press of New York on the
Nomination of orr. Carlisle.
NEW YORK. Dec 1.-The result of the Dem
ocratic caucus is commented upon in the
Sunday morning New York papers as fol-
lows:
energy and intelligence the caucus action of last
evening means a sweeping Democratic victory
next year. For the first time in many years there
is before the party fair prospect of sHch popular
favor as they have long been seeking by many de-
vious and false roads. At last they are on the
right track. The caucus vote will surprise great
ueny people
The result is a severe disappointment to the Re
publican politicians, who exelaim illogically. but
loudly, that IL gives them the next Presidency.
But the Republicans have one comfort, they gave
a complimentary Endorsement to Mr.. Keller yes
terday. They can never be lonely while they
have Mr.. Keller.
The sun says: As this selection is one against
which we have earnestly advised. we can not re-
gard it with any great satisfaction; but we sin
cerely hope that eli the gloomy snticipaiions con-
nected with the subject may be dispelled by the
Of the House will be conducted under the direc
ton OF the new Speaker
=. The World favors the nomination; as settling
lt is wise aud beneficial TO leave the
Randal's defeat will not be the less sat
isiacIory. He has been more or less in apparent
sympathy with the Republicans in too many in
surstion of Hayes, through fraud an impossi-
bility. He has been the ally OF Republieanism on
ieRSlallOu. lie Is known 10 De friendly 10
the corporations whose interest are so carefully
protected by the Republican party. In point OF
capacity. while Mr.. RandalPs parliamentary ex =
perience makes him good presiding officer. he is
not the equal of Mr.. Carlisle in brains, character
or scholarship. Mr.. Carlisle is splendid lawyer
and a student, Mr.. Randall is neither lawyer
nor q scholar, but merely politician"
The Times says: The nomination of Mr.. Carlisle
shows that there is more life in the Democratic
party than one generally supposed, and of a
nealthy tor which is a matter of cOngratulation
all round. The immediate practical effect of the
election of a moderate revenue reformer as the
leader of the Democratic party in the House, and
the representa- of the Democratic party in the
Nation, will be something extremely interesting to
1 watch. The opponents OF the reform will Jump
to the conclusion that it must force the reopening
of the tariff agitation and make the tariff the chief
issue in the next Presidential campaign. Whether
il has that result or not will depend largely upon
the saeacity of the Republican minority. Mr.. Car
/ Isle Will undoub tedly form his Committees as
| TO bring before the House the question OF a fur
! tber reduction OF the tariff.
The nomination of Mr.. Carlisle in itself shows q
public opinion throughout wide sections of the
the tactics of the mere politicians and TO defy the
industries. That opinion is not by any means con-
| lined 10 the Democrats. IL Is National If il be
respected and embodied in legislation, and If the
Republicans contribute fairly to that result the
canvass of 1884 would be left to be decided princi
pally upon other issues, and on these the Republi
| cans have nothing TO fear. The problem presented
| TO the Republicans in Congress by the nomination
of Mr. Carlisle is very serious one but it is also
very simple.
