CHICAGO Tribune: The Democratic party aD-
pears to be getting ready to go boldly into the
campaign of 1883 on the Rutherford B. Hayes
issue.
Mr. THOMAS S. COOPER smiles at the notion,
recently corceived here and there. that he viii
not be reelected chairman of the Republican
State committee of Pennsylvania.
NEW YORK Press: "What foolishness this
Republican club league business isl" said Dem
ocrats everywhere in Dacember. 1887. And yet
the Democrats met ut the Hoffman House yes

PHILADELPHIA Telseraph: Indiana must play
q large part in the political arena next fall and
it is gratifying to note that the Republicans ia
that State are getting themselves into fghting
trim. Upon their decision at the polls In No.
venber may denend finally the question Of the
presidency OF the United States.
CHICAGO Times: The Indianapolis Democrats

WASHINGTON Special: The Gresham nnove5
mert. of which one has heard much in Illinois
and Indiana, is not regarded seriously here

which he has necessarily borne to the politics of
the State of New York have caused many to
look upon him as not the most availa bic man
for securing the electoral vote of this State.
1Ir. Sherman will doubtless have some friends
in the New York delegation, but if the attitude
of that delegation should any time become
decisive of the nomination of the national con-
vention Il is not likely to fall upon the Senator
from Ohio. Yet there are few Republicans in
this State who will not cheerfully admit Mr..
Shermans tranacendant services to his party
and the country, and his splendid equipment for
the presidency"
