POLITICAL POINTS.

Cincinnati Times-Star.-The Blaine move
ment is in a condition requiring powerful
effort to keep it moving.
San Francisco Call.-Within the last two
or three weeks Blaine has forged ahead. Ar
thur at one time his most formidable com
petitor, has lost ground, not relatively simply
but actually.
Louisville Courier-Journal.-A well regu-
lated Republican newspapers employ at least,
one prophetic editor, whose sole occupation
is to foretell what the Democrats intend do
ing in congress and finally at Chicago.
The Saratogian Rep. )-Whata is the use
of talking up Hawley when so many bigger
statesman in the party crowd the horizon on
every side? The Connecticut senator is a
frst-calss second-class man-no more.
QMacon (Ga.) Telegraph.-To nominate
for the Presidency man who is laboring
under constitutional "disability'' and Gina
bility'' to discharge the duties of the office,
is piece of folly of which the Democratic
party will not be guilty.
Richmond State.-There may be economic
questions in the Democratic party upon
which all Democrats do not agree, but all
Democrats agree npon this-that neither
Mahoneism nor Republicanism must be al
lowed to triumph in Virginia.
Cincinnati Times Star.-If the President
should resort to ''machine'' work such as
Blaine's managers are doing vigorously now
adays, especially in Pennsylvania, cry
would go up from the Mulligan Guards that
he was ''thwarting the will Of the people"
Wheeling CIV. Va.) Register.-Samuel j.
Tilden is a source Of terror to the Republi
cans. They are terribly afraid that he will
be a Presidential candidate, and knowing
that he was elected once fear that he will be
| again Their contortions are laughable.
Springfield Republican. really looks as il
New Hampshire must be added to the list OF
states favoring the nomination of Senator
Edmunds at the Republican National Con
vention. The beauty of the ticket of Ed
munds and Lincoln is that its availability
connot be questioned.
Little Rock (Ark) Gazette.-Mr. Blaine
will be likely TO again prove just strong
enough to be defeated for the Presidential
nomination, as in 1876 and 1880. Per
sonally he is the most popular of all the Re
publicans mentioned, but he is chief owner
of record that can be twisted into numer-
GUS ugly shapes.
Cincinnati News-Journal.-Mr Carlisle IS
friends in the Kentucky legislature are work
ing up Presidential boom for the Speaker
of the House to the extent, at least, of hay
ing that states delegation to Chicago in
sUructed for him. The matter has been only
recently preached, but fhe movement is liza
BILE to go like an August fire in bluegrass
field
Harrisburg Pa.) Patriot.-Blaine is not a
reformer. His public record is stained from
beginning to end with corrupt jobs and dis
creditable methods. In every act, from the
Fort Smith bond affair as speaker OF the
house to the guano claims scandal as Secre-
tary of state, he has been dipping into rotten
schemes for plumber. Why, therefor, should
he be presented as a reformer!
Bridgeport Conn., Farmer.-The name of
Hon. S. S. Cox is mentained as that of a
presidential possibility His reputation
as a humorist has somewhat obscured his
rec ord as a statesman, but it is a fact that he
is one of the ablest and best equipped men
of the party. He is, however, disqualified
for the Presidential nomination by his close
identification with one of the factions in
