THE NEWS" TURN NOW

Ihe NEWS would respectfully suDHit
that common decency, not TO speak OF
the rules of ordinary courtesy would
suggest somewhat different manner OF
mention when speaking of the chief ex-
ecutive OF great city.
II hides remain on the free list we are
told that the agricultural interests or the
West will arise and smite the Eastern
shoemakers. This shows the difficulty or
distributing sauce equally between the
goose and the gander.-Jo ournal ana Bull
letin.
Begging our venerable and esteemed
contemporary's pardon, we are not told,
but we tell. 1t is the band of shrieking
calamityites who will find the world al
together out of joint and their dolls
stuffed with the poorest quality OF saw
dust even in the millennium.
The sentiment against free coinage OF
silver is rapidly gaining ground within
the Democratic party IL may, we think,
be safely assumed that all danger OF that
policy being adopted, or proving trouble
some, is now past.-Telegram,
The Telegram undoubtedly wishes it
really believed this to be true.
The "great hereafter is Republican any
how" says Field Marshal Murat Hal
stead but that assurance can be OF very
little comfort to the average Republican
politician.
On the contrary it is just that assur-
ance which makes all the difference in
the world between the average Republi-
can and the calamityite. The Republi-
can takes life happily, and looks for
ward to his Thanksgiving dinner with
an appetite for turkey and cranberry
sauce because he has faith in the future,
and the assured triumph of sound prin-
ciples, and doesn't believe the country is
going to the demnition bow-wows. In
addition to which it might with truth be
stated that the great present is Republl-
can also.
II is not the business of Republicans in
other States TO seek to interfere with the
free choice of the Ohio Legislature, but
neither is it any disparagement OF others
to rejoice that the choice now seems GER
tain to fall upon the candidate whose
public services have been so prolonged
and SO eminent, whose sagacity and eXpe-
rience are so greatly needed, end whose
retirement would be so deeply depiored
by the best men in both parties.-New
York Tribune.
1t is beyond question true that the
best sentiment in Ohio and out of 1t calls

When Hugh j. Grant appointed Patrick
| Diver, on the very day he appointed him,
he wrote TO a friend: "Divver's appoint
ment will be the most criticised and will
turn out to be the best appointment, in
my judgment. ever made To police JUS
| ticeship in New York city," The predic-
tion appears to have been vindicated by
| time and the results. The Eagle has lit
| tie doubt that Thomas +. Gradys ap-
| pointment, which is so much criticised
now, will turn out well. Eagle.
The Eagle shows its sagacity in COM
| pairing Gladys appointment with that OF
Diver, who went into politics by the
saloon door, but its little doubt" will
draw by degrees like the cloud that was
at first no bigger than mans hand but
presently covered the whole sky.
| II Chicago ever again goes Democratic
| il will be after an epidemic of smallpox,
| la grippe, cholera or some great financial
disaster, 1t only comes into power with
alamity.-Chicago lnter-Ocean.
And makes the calamity heavier when
| ii comes. Indiana Democrats don't like
| Chicago's politics, and perhaps in the
| slice they want TO carve out OF the State
of Illinois they might even leave Chicago
out III the wind.
Without looking prematurely to the
| dread spectre of Anglo-American conflict,
we must be prepared TO encounter all the
opposition that English intrigue can bring
! to bear to supplement or supplant fair In
dustrial ana commercial rivalry.-New
York Recorder.
1t is true there was a certain element
of jingoism in Lord Salisbury's late
| speech which might easily had people to
| believe that England is ready TO fight
| for her trade rather than to permit the
natural expansion of American COM
mercial activity under system better
than the English one.
The gentleman who attempts to lug
| free silver plank into a Democratic plat
| form next year will receive u rather frigid
eception.-Milford Daily news.
Democrats of New England are doing
| their utmost to believe that they believe
this, but they don't very succeed very
well, somehow.
Wherefore, always providing that New
| York's unanimously preferred man is not
| forthcoming, we present to the Democrats
| of the nation for their careful considera-
| ton, the name of William Eustis Russell
for President in ls92.-Boston Globe.
Willie is nice, as often remarked, but
Willie won't win.
The Herald has never faltered, as its
readers will bear witness, in the belief
| that Grover Cleveland is to be the next
| Democratic candidate for the presidency.
| The recent elections have done much to
remove doubts that may have existed in
other minds on this point. The best
| political observers in both parties now
| look upon Cleveland's nomination as in
| evitable. Boston Herald.
In New York Cleveland is impossible /;
if he nails nis flag to Gray Gables what's
to become of Willie!
The Herdld's eyes were fixed on the
eternal truth. True independence is n
rare virtue One has to be born chat way.
New York Herald.
