Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1884-05-15
Current Press Comments.
Detroit Post: Mr.. Morrison's

Detroit IoSt: Mr.. morf1son'S re-
verse was the result of opinions
that were diverse. The Republicans
were adverse, Mr.. Randall perverse
and the gentleman from Ohio Con-
verse.
Milwaukee Sentinel: The New
York Post says that it has damaging
facts concerning Mr.. Blaine which
will be made public if he is nomi-
mated. Interesting as these facts
may be, it is hardly wise to nomi-
nate Mr.. Blaine simply to bring
them out.
Sunday Telegraph; General Sher-
man laughs and says nothing when
spoken to about being a candidate
for president, but it is satisfied APP
pearing laugh.
Same: Twelve years ago the Chi
cago Tribune and Cincinnati Com
n1ercial were rampant for Greeley,
and said more harsh things about
Blaine than any other two papers in
the country Now they are ardent
champions Of the Maine man.
Lacrosse Republican,: The 81.
Louis gentleman who thinks he is
doing something wonderful by
shrinking in size at the rate of two
inches per year should have his at
tention called to a gentleman named
Mr. Morrison, from Illinois.
Monroe Sentinel: 1t looks now
as though w. II. Sherman, better
known as General Billie Sherman,
the felar that made the "Johnpies"
git at Atlanta and who marched to
the sea, once upon time, would be
the dark horse in the Presidential
race.
Chicago Times: Senator Edmunds
has come out o. The first campaign
scandal all right, but it will probably
60 hard with him when his enemies
start the story that he is the perpe-
traitor of the horrible series of
crimes popularity attributed to cold
man Bender"
Janesvile Recorder: The proph-
cts of evil concerning "ring rule" in
this state got badly left by the late
state convention. The only really
powerful ring in Republican politics
in this state takes in the whole party;
and when it closes around the polls
next November it will squeeze the
life out of the opposition. Do You
hear?
GAINESVILLE Gazette: If one can
read between the lines of public sen
timent, it is that neither Blaine nor
Arthur will be nominated The two
factions are inclined to be unyield-
ing, and this will kill both candida
ties But the strongest men yet re-
main to be considered, and among
them are Gen. Sherman and Robert
Lincoln - especially Sherman If
there is one man that will solidify
the party, and make the people shout
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and
from Minnesota to the Gulf, it is
William t. Sherman.
Detroit Post: The Philadelphia
Press observes that the point is
whether the Republican party will
make it's presidential nomination to
satisfy the great body of steadfast
Republicans, or the small body of
independent Republicans. But this
is not the point. The point is to
make presidential nomination
which will satisfy both. The party
will need the votes Of both; it can
not safely offend either What the
party needs is presidential nomina-
ton which will produce unity IN
stead of division, universal enthusi-
Y
asm instead Of partial Indifference,
and victory instead of defeat.
Chicago Journal: Another po-
litical party-one which is composed
exclusively of the class of men who
have room enough in their heads for
only one idea-has called a"nation-
al convention" at Chicago 1t call
itself the american Party" and
its platform consists of opposition
