POLITICAL OPINIONS.

The Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette (l'ep):
Hancock declared the tariff ''local ISSUE.
Cleveland classes ii AS an ''irrcleyant discus
sion" but the people recognize in 1t II ma
tional question of the most vital importance.
Nashville Banner: In Buffalo yesterday
Cleveland said, Paying Il hundred cents on
the dollar is popularity of Democrats
Evidently the governor doesn't know very
much about Tennessee Democracy.
Albany Express (Rep.); The Argus SAYS
that Cleveand's speech at Buffalo was ''mod-
est The inodcsty consisted of the use of
the personal pronouns | and Ne, aud pos
se>siye My and Mine forty-one times in Il
speech of iifty-fve lines.
Philadelphia North American Rep:
Wanted-A professor Of business to take q
| large class of persons now editing Demo
cratic newspapers and teach them the differ
ence between collateral security and per-
sonal property. Apply 1T the first Demo
cratic newspaper office. You cannot go
rstrav.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat (Rep.): The
Ohio Democrats claim TO have had 10000
torches in line at their Columbus demon
stration. whereas the number did not in fact
reach 1000, it is certified by Republican OBJ
servers. For magnifving power, Ohio
whisky is evidently entitled to first money.
New York Truth Qnd.): This is Presi-
dent Arthurs birthday SUNDAY, Oct. 81.
He has made one of the very best presidents
the country has had, and is entitled to the
gratitude of all his countrymen. They will,
we are confident, unite with us in wishing
him MANY happy returns of the day
Philadelphia Inquirer (Ind.): The north
is almost rs solidly Republican rs the south
is Democratic: it is So because of its great
material interests; similar Interests, a. they
are developed will make the south largely
Republican in time or, Mt least give both
parties nearly equal numerical strength at
the polls.
Dubuque Times, rep; The time was
when the Democratic party had distinct
principles and well-dehned views about pub
lie matters. But that was many years ago.
Nowadays it champions no popular doe
trine, PROCESSES no distinguishing purpose.
and manifests no sympathy with the vital
and practical tendencies of the times.
An the Democrats may do to thrust in
side issues, and give n personal turn 10 the
campaign, as they are irantically trying To
do, cannot conceal the real issue. The pco-
Pile are for protection to American indus
tries, against the products of cheap and
half-starved European labor, and propose to
continue in power the party that created
and maintained the protective policy.
Milwaukee Sentinel (Rep.): The Demo-
oaratic idea is that political victories can
be bought for money; that popular suffrage
is fraud and IA failure. because Of the cor
ruptibility Of men; that there Is no such
thing among the masses OF men a resist
ent to bribery. From Democratic Journals
everywhere We hear this repeated-that the
majority of men will sell their votes.
New York Mail and Express: General
| Thomas Ewing is Democrat. He denies
the report that he said he would vote for
| Blaine, but saws he will take no part in the
Democrat campaign, on account Of the
savage personalities against Mr.. Blaine.
which are the chief ammunition OF the
Democrats. General Ewing knows Mr..
Blaine too intimately, and has known him
too long. 10 he associated with the men
| whose only weapons against Mr.. Blaine are
lies and calumnies. In other words, Gen
eral Ewing Is II gentleman.
The New York Tribune (Repl: The Dem
ocratic leaders are trying 20 discount the ef-
fects of the election in Ohio by saving that
il will not mean ANYTHING In particular. All
the same il is evident that they will not neg
lect TO trick. old or new. honest or dishonest.
TO carry the state. At present they are en-
gagged in active preparations IA run in ne
peaters from the neighboring states. Ex-
Governor Hendricks recently remarked To
the people of Kentucky that they we've real
" very near ncghbors 10 Indiana and Ohio
thai, sonly the river divided them" Yet
doubtless Mr.. Hendricks political friends
often find even that slight barrier a serious
drawback 10 their wholesale business of i'm
porting voters for one day only.
