CONTEMPORARY OPINION.

-Ingalls thinks it is hard to tell
which side in the war of the rebellion
won. 1t wouldn't have been hard to
tell if nobody in the North had done
any more fighting than Ingalls, Chi.
cago News.
Senator w. Z. Chandler volun-
teers the advice that the Republicans
should select candidate who is strong
in weak States. The ex-Secretary must
consider himself out of the race. -Har-
risburg (Pa.) Patriot.
Luckily for President Cleveland
anent the vacancy on the Supreme
bench, the greatest lawyers in this
country are Democrats. This was even
so from 1865 to 1874. the flood-tide
period of Republican success. st.
Louis Republican.
Ingalls, doth protest too much.
The more he tries to explain his un-
fortunate blunder the worse he makes
it. He now calls President Cleveland
an "ally of the Confederacy. but the
President can stand it very we'll in
such good company as Hancock and
Mcclellan. n.-BoSton Globe.
Governor Foraker, it is said, will
present Mr.. Sherman's name to the
Chicago convention. The Governor
will no doubt do his best to be as elo-
quent in performing this friendly duty
as was Garfield. when he presented the
name of Mr. Sherman to the Chicago
convention of $780, Chicago Herald.
The Republicans refuse to circu-
late Senator Ingalls, speech denounc-
ing President Cleveland and SANDER
ing the memory of Generals Mcclellan
and Hancock as campaign document
They regard it as boomerang. and
worry prudently refuse to have any
thing to do with it.-Dubaque (Ia. j
Telegraph.
The first rebel flag tn at ever
floated to the breeze is owned, it is
said, by Sioux City man who wants to
sell it for $4,000. Judging by the
political Importance that they attach
to such emblems. the first rebel flag
ought to be easily worth that sum to
any one of the Republican statesmen.
Chicago Herald.
ALL talk of the husband of Mrs.
Hayes. of Fremont o., being dele
gate to the Republican National con-
vention is apocryphal. The middle OF
June will be the busiest season of the
hens, and Rutherford can not conven-
iently absent himself from the immedi-
ate vicinity of his egg foundry. .-Mis-
souri Republican.
1t was not necessary for Mr..
Sherman to deny that he was going to
withdraw from the Presidential race.
Any body who knows Mr.. Sherman
should have known that the story was
a lie without the denial. while those
who did not know him would be justi-
fled in not believing it on general prin.
ciples.-Philadelphia Times.
President Cleveland will appoint
as Chief Justice some man not older
than himself. and q Democrat. The
Chief Justice, unlike the President,
holds Office for life. and though the
position is not political. it is not bad
politics to have sure thing on Dem
ocrat being at the head of one depart
ment Of tho Government, whatever
adversely may come to the party al
large. - Washington Critic.
When Republican Congressmer
"point with pride" to the record oi
the Republican party in reducing the
tariff and reproach the Democratic
party with not having done any thing
in that direction. tho Democratic party
can stand 1t il the Republican party
can. The country is perfectly willing
to soc Republicans flop over to com
mon sense on the tariff question.--St
