COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

No man in the United States sem
ate is more surely ''treasuring up
wrath against the day of wrath" than
one David B. Hill-Chicago Inter
Ocean.
YThe tariff tinkers and the silver
agitators of the democratic majority in
the house of representatives are be-
stirring themselves and doing their
best to insure republican successor to
Benjamin Harrison.-Albany Journal
8- The Cleveland men expect to car
ry solid delegations from Wisconsin,
Minnesota, the two Dakotas and Micbi-
gan. This, they think. will offset New
York's delegation for Hill. The Cleve-
land men might have had Illinois but
for the untimely interference of lot
of shabby politicians who imagine that
they can hide behind Palmer boom
until they see who is going to win;
then they will be for the winner Chi

CB-The highest compliment that has
been paid to President Harrison is that
which comes from all the newspapers,
democratic and mugwump and repub-
lican, that ''he will unhesitatingly veto
any unlimited silver bill" which con-
gress may pass. Several will vote for
free silver Ito put the president in a,
hole" and not because they believe it
is wise measure. But the point is
there is safety in president like Har-
rison. Chicago Inter Ocean.
Every democrat but two on the
coinage con- mittee of the democratic
house voted in favor of reporting a
free silver bill. Every republican but
two voted against tie report. A free
silver bill will in all proba bility be
pas sed by the present congress and by
demo cratic votes A republican presi-
dent may be trusted to kill it with his
veto, and it is well at this critical june
ture that we have republican presi-
dent.-N. Y. Mail and Express.
EB Some democratic papers admit
that Crisp has not made very favor
able impression as presiding officer.
The trouble. doubtless, is that the
house has no real leader. Springer,
the reputed leader. does not possess
the confidence of his party; and they
are not under discipline to him. Crisp
is really to blame for appointing
Springer to the ways and means chair
manship. By appointing Springer he
has demoralized the majority. Mime

EY The difference between the re-
publican and the democratic parties
under existing conditions is revealed
by the practical unanimitv with which
the leading republicans of the country,
in view of Mr.. Blaine's withdrawal,
are declaring for President Harrison s
denomination and for the successful
campaign which will follow that ac-
ton, and the democratic factional
fight over the nomination of candi-
defeat The young men in politics
should make note of it. Be on the
side of the right Be on the winning
side.-N. Y. Mail and Express
Is 1t has been stated in reference to
the pelideucy of the gerrymander test
in the Wisconsin supreme court that
that tribunal is republican in its make
up That statement is not true 1t is
composed of three democrats and two
republicans. The case is attracting
attention all over the country. The
republicans have not been fortunate in
the decision of cases arising out of po-
litical contests recently, but they are
entitled to decision in the Wisconsin
case, unless the supreme court OF that
state broadly asserts that the leg-
islature is supreme in the matter Of
state apportionment and even constitu.
tional provisions cannot control it,
