Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-12-05

CHICAGO Inter Ocean (sep.): The American
doctrine never had more felicirous and un-
wavering expression.
CHICAGO Times (Dem.): Ephraim is welded
to his idols. But we cannot follow the biblical
injunction and leave him alone.
CHICAGO Herald (Dem.): II progressive Re-
publicans can find in such manifestation of
Bourbonism a single ray of comfort the Herald
wishes them much Joy.
INDIANAPOLIS Journal (Rep.): AS WHOLE
we predict that it will receive the enthusiastic
approval of Republicans, and that the most
malignant opposition will attack it in vain. 1t
is a very able and thoroughly admirable mes
sage.
INDIANAPOLIS Sentinel Dem.): The Presi-
dents entire deliverance, so far as it relates to
the tariff is illogical, confused contradictory
and altogether unworthy of the occasion and
of his office. 1t will have little. if any, in
fluence upon the course of events, because that
is already determined.
GRAND RAPIDS Herald (Rep.): In a brief,
concise paragraph the President afirms the
necessity of legislation to ensure free and hon.
est elections. There is not the slightest tinge
of partisanship about this part of the message,
but il will doubtless receive more adverse crit
icism from the opposition press than any other
part.

have little occasion to regret the position taken
in the message on either the tariff or the force
bill. They will not affect the popular judg-
ment but will aggravate the divisions among
Republicans and insure the further defeaI
of the party that stands in their baneful
shadow.
ST. PAUL Pioneer Press (Rep.): He enlarges
upon the benefits of reciprocity, and recon-
mends larger compensation for carrying the
ocean mails, and the pressing to passage of the
Federal election bill. On this last point the
Pioneer Press has already given its reasons for
disagreeing with Mr.. Harrison; for, whatever
! else may be doubtful, it is certain that there is
| no demand among the people for this measure;
that its passage would do infinitely more harm
than good, and that the Republican party will
| lose more by sustaining it than it can ever hope
| to gain.
CHICAGO Tribune (Rep.): As q matter Of
principle the Presidents argument Tupon the
| force bill is unanswerable. As q matter Of
| practice how would it be enforced should the
| present law be made effective to cure the evils
| complained of as he suggests? Recent contin-
| gencies have made any immediate answer un-
necessary. but as a good Republican the Presl-
dent could not do less than protest against this
| hideous injustice of minority rule in the South.
He. st least, has made his protest with earnest
| ness and vigor, even if it goes no further than
protest.
CHICAGO NeloS (Ind.): President Harrison
reserves the discredited and utterly obnoxious
| Federal elections bill for the climax in his
message. In his adherence to the policy which
materially helped to create the recent political
| Waterloo for the Republicans, Mr.. Harrison
again demonstrates the quality which marks
| Bourbonism the world over-namely, "never to
learn and never to forget" In this portion of
| 30 haa ruid cd
the gulf between moderate, rational Repub-
licanism and that portion of his party which
still believes that the 'bloody shirt" will never
fail as talisman of power.
