Political Points.

Peoria Transcript: A certain post
master IN this district is Republican
when sober and Democrat when
drunk.
Detroit Evening Journal: The Ohio
Republicans are making the same old
mistake by induiging in gross vilifca-
ton of the Prohibitionists.
Detroit POST The tariff does not in
crease the cost of living, but it enables
the manufacturer to obtain for his goods
and the farmer to obtain for his produce
an assured market at q reasonable
profit free from the ruinous competition
of Europeans.
Chicago Evening Journal: Joe Mack
ms attorney announces that his client
will soon be Tout of Jail. y As Maekin
will emerge from the Jail door simply to
| enter that of the States prison, the an
nouncemeut Is not as encouraging, that
is, mot for Joe,n as it would have been
had the circumstances been different.
Chicago Herald The announcement
that Parson Newman will preach every
Sunday hereafter at Mount MacGregor
bodies no good to Gen. Grant if it is
meant that he is to preach to the in
| valid. When Newman preached last
| there were more brickbats than there
was preaching. and it took a squad of
police to dispense the congregation
The old commander cannot stand
strain like that.
| Lowell Mass J Courier: There is a
constant backing and filling by the in
dependent press as to the genuineness
| OF Democratic ciyil-Service reform. Now
and then the Administration makes a
! demonstration in its favor, but there
are only exceptions enough TO prove
what the rule is to wit: That this is
simon-pure Democratic administration,
and that nobody on the whole is entitled
to get or keep an Office who is not an
Administration man. Any other view
of it is born of twaddle and cant.
Louisville Courier-Journal: There is
not line of the country's agricultural
productions, + ON corn to peanuts, in
controlling or handling which New
York is not overshadowed by some
other American city; and as to cotton,
the projected ship canal, whenever fin
ished. will hasten the operation of
methods and influences already in ex-
istence which will ultimately extinguish
her cotton trade much more effeciually
than that of Liverpool, and this by
building up the Southern markets.
Toledo Blade: The Democratic press
is drumming the tune that the war is
over, that the South is glad that it was
whipped, that the Southern people are
as loyal 10 the Union as those of the
North, that to say anything about the
condition OF the negro is TO wave the
bloody shirt, and so on. The Ohio Re-
publican platform takes the true and
patriotic ground hat the attempt to
disfranchlse class OF voters is matter
of public concern. 1t pledges the Re-
publicans of Ohio to a policy that will
protect their rights.
Chicago News: The condition of the
temperance movement, practically con-
sidered, is much the same at the south
that it is at the north. II nearly holds
the balance of power in both localities
and in each section it is the dominant
party that is fearful of the issue. The
prohibitionists were never more active
and alert than they are to-day, their
meetings are large and their state con-
veniions are full and enthusiastic
Their opponents are quiet. With such
activity for three years, and with ac-
ceptable candidates in the field at every
local and state election in the interior,
the leaders of both the old parties must
look to their lanrels or they will see
them snatched away by the third party
Organization.
