EDITORIAL PERSONALS.

Senator Gorman's chief lieutenant in
Maryland having pronounced absurd the
report that German is in the field for the
Presidency next year, and stated that he
is Cleveland man, the foes of the latter
gentleman must try, try again.-BostoR
Herald.
Jerry Simpsons first view of the House
OF Representatives was disappointment.
II had an idea that the House was quiet,
orderly, dignified body" he says, but
found it much more noisy than IeXpected
and not digniiied at ll."--H Louis Globe
DemocTdt.
The Democrats of South Dakota having
elected an Alliance man Senator, Mr.. Tau
beneck is no doubt more than ever con-
vinced that Republican must be elected
from Illinois. That is,,.thoa,g -Isepu5lic.
The attitude of Colonel Henry Waiter
son toward the Hon. David Bennett Hill
need not create any alarm in Democratic
ranks. The colonel is darling when
once he is understood; what thing soever
he loveth he hitteth it a lick.-Chicdgo
Ners.
A cable dispatch states that Emperor
William threatens to prosecute Bismarck
for talking" Legal proceedings in a
case of that sort would look more like
persecution than prosecution. II seems
TO us over here that the man of iron has
earned the right to talk as much as he
wants to.-Bdhimo,e Herald.
Senator Quays explanation is late and
unsatisfactory. The Republican party
Will not enter upon another Presidential
campaign with the burden of load of
explanations. Big and strong as the
party is IL does not intend to be handi-
capped as it has been.-7erre Haute Es-
press.
The Democrats will hurt themselves
more than they will hurt Tom Reed If
they refuse to present and vote for gem
erous resolution of compliment to him.
They will put themselves on record as
capable OF q low, mean and petty revenge
against Speaker because he sought to
expedite the public business.-Chicago
Tribune.
Governor Hill denounces the Watterson
letter as IAN insulting and impertinent
communication" The Governor would
do well to be careful. Let the Numidian
lion once get reused in the breast of the
Colonel, and he is good at using impre-
catory language himself.--New York
Tribune.
Watterson is the game cock of the
Democratic party, and Governor Hill un-
derstands him and admires him. That
Watterson has taken no offense at Hills
comments on his letter is apparent from
day, he warmly defended Hill from the
charge of bad faith with the Democratic
Presidential ticket in 1888. In the same
interview he said that Cleveland's silver
letter was not well-timed, and might
cause some lack of unanimity in his nom
ination for 1892.
The Kentucky editor is going to flop
his wings and make himself heard
whenever he feels like it,-Itiai,ta Con-
Stitutioa.
The new Senator from South Dakota,
Rev. James ii, Kyle, was elected by DEM
ocratic votes, and is sound for low tariff
There is n disposition to claim him as
likely to be Democratic beyond this, but
we would not advise the Democrats TO
count strongly on this. He has been a
Republican, and is a clergyman aud q
Prohibitionist, which last represent a
pretty close kind of Republcanism in the
North and West generally. If the Demo-
crats get good votes ON the tariff out of
tins Senator, they will get all they are as
sured of at Boston Herald.
The State of Georgia Is to be congratu.
lated in the possession of Governor of
great good sense and sound convictions.
lie has just distinguished himself in q
rather unusual manner by refusing to Join
III public adulation over Jay Gould. The
great monarch of the railroad world is
travelling in the South, and while in At
lanta Governor Northen was invited to
meet him. II is human weakness to
worship men of enormous wealth, aud the
invitation in most cases would have been
eagerly accepted, but in this instance ii
was fatty declined, the Governor stating
that he did not believe that "Gould's
methods as practiced in other sections
where he has had the power would de-
yelop the State Of Georgia on the line of
the public good"
He has set most wholesome example.
Gould Is not philanthropist, great ben
eiactor, wise statesman, noble hero or
anything else that entities him 10 hom-
age. lie has got enormously rich by
looking ont solely for Jay Gould; he Is
still in the same business, and there Is no
reason why Governors should leave their
offices, Judges their benches and Legisla-
lures should adjourn to give him well
come thieo0o Herald.
