PRESS COMMENT.

The Vt. Louis Post Disoatch very plainiive-
ly suggests: Is il not about time to declare
a divorce between Democracy and election
frauds
Philadelphia Times With Hill certainly
in the race for the Presidency. the next Don
nybrook fair is likely to be held in the Ela-
pire State.
Baltimore .i,ae,fcsa: Those Democratic
efforts directed against senator sherman's 5
great tariff speech may BIZ replies, but they
are not answers.
York, for instance, prefer David Bennett
Hill as their candidate they are quite able to
say 50 aud to stand by theiropinion.
ST Paul Pioneer Press: There never was a
Democratic President who could count as
little upon party fealty and who was
strengthened by as few personal ties as Mr.
Cleveland.
New York TfibaHc. Among many suicid-
al and foolish things that the Democratic
party might do, perhaps the most clearly
foolish aud suicidal would be the nomina-
tion Of Hill in place of Cleveland.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette The can
didacy OF Hill for the Presidency burlesques
that of Cleveland beautifully but the Mug
wump heholds no fnn Ia IT, Indeed, his
sense of humor seems TO be speiied.
Philadelphia Press If Governor HIS. of
New York. is at all a vain man he has album
dant cause for feeling elated over the fright
his friends have given the supporters Of the
President in the Democratic patty.
Chicago Inter Ocean If the February
ground hog had gone into his hole and pull
ed in and hid forever the Presidents free
trade message, his rebel flag order the pro-
ocedings in the Thoebe-C Carlisle contest. and
the outrage attempted upon Congressman
White. of Indiana. the Democratic party
would have fed him upon sugar all the bal
ance of his natural life But left in sight, as
ali these things are, people will go on think
ing about them.
Cincinnati Timcs-Sar: The issue vi pro-
lection versus free trade towers above the
dull level of politics as Chimborazo rises gi-
gantic from the plain" And this question
addresses itself to every thinking Republican:
Are We to forget these vital interests 50 far as
to infuse spirit Of bitterness into the cam
paign. ON a matter which is both practically
and morally secondary, and thus take the
ssk of disaster, when the course duty points
aBf all lead TO a Republican restoration and
the inasieyable defeat Of Cobdenism in
America
Johnstown Talbshs5 That the Sub-Com-
mittee OF the National Republican Commit
tee, which was in session at Chicago ycster-
day, should be almost unanimous for Blaine's
denomination Is not surprising, rs they were
sisasen originally because they were his
s;rSes friends, and they conducted his cam
paign sos lin in lssi-some say not wisely
bu; fiaey esrsgcted it e it was conducted,
and. coming into e..Sc end confidential rela-
tons with him. they sosES Eot help but be
charmed with his personality ans desye the
relations TO continue. hut l. ui.sfa poi Two
opinions on the question whether Blaine
Is is.enominated or not. there ought to be 9th
er men ~ manage the campaign than those
who threw ti,> election into the hands of
the Democrats three s.sars ago. 1t will re-
Ygire ability TO undo in lres the wrong they
did in gss4.
