THE METROPOLITAN PRESS.
Lincoln Is Praised but Patrick Egan Is
Scorched.


NEW YORK, March s-Commenting
on yesterdays diplomatic nominations,
the Sun this morning says. The appoint
ment of Robert Lincoln TO be Minister
to England will be popular in this coun-
try, and we dare say it will give satisfac-
iion 10 the mass of Englishmen He
may prove himself better minister than
we have had in England since the late
Charles Francis Adams. General Har-
rison's diplomatic appointments stand
very we'll the test of comparison with
those made by his recent predecessors.
The Her0ld referring to the appoint
ment of Mr.. Lincoln, says. A more for
tunate and satisfactory selection, on all
accounts, than Mr. Robert T. Lincoln,
could not have been made
The Times says, as to Patrick Egan,
sent as Minister to Chill His nomina-
tion is an insult 10 American citizens, of
whom he is not one, not having yet com
pleted the process Of naturalization. He
is absolutely nothing, in American public
life, but a bloated Blaine Irishman."
The World says. Hereditary and Jour
nalistic party service having guided four
of the chief foreign appointments, it was
natural that the plutocraiic element
would receive recognition.
