uon and valuable public service on the
part Of the Executive.
BETTING AND APPROPRIATE.
Philadelphia North American, Rep.
Mr., liayard has experience in diplomacy
and politics. and possesses kind of ability
which will doubtless enable him to dis
charge his new duties with credit to him
self and usefulness to the country whose
agent he will be. We think that our Eng
lish cousins will like Ambassador Bayard,
aud that he also will find their society
congcnial. Altogether the appointment
was a BETTING and appropriate one and
Will command the approval of the public.
THERE Could RE NONE MORE WORTHY.
Philadelphia Timos, Ind.
His vide knowledge and long experience
IN public affairs, his legal learning, his in
telectunl culture and attainmemts, and
above all his stern integrity and unfailing
dignity of character, have placed Mr.
Bayard by common consent in the highest
rank of American statesmen. Leaving
aside the President and ex-Presdent it
can be no exaggeration to speak of him rs
the most distinguished citizen of the
United states now living, In character and
service, and in the highest attributes Of
intellectual American manhood, there is
no one remaining in public life who is his
peer,
He goes not merely as minister of the
government, but rs the ambassador Of q
sovereign people, and there could be none
more worthy 10 bear the title than this
illustriuGs representative of an ilustriOus
name, whom friends and opponents alike
salute rs without fear and without re
proach"

Philadelphia Inquirer, Rep.

orGHr TO GIVE UNIVERSAL SATISFACTION.
New York sun, Dem.
The appointment Of Mr. Bavari to he
ambassador Of the United States to the
Court Of Her Majesty the Queen of Great
britain and Ireland and the Empress of
India ought to give universal satisfaction,
r. 40. .ln,t
Of Republicans as we'll as of Democrats.
lie is courteous, kind.hcarted gentleman.
Inc purity and sincerity of his character
and the dignity of his personal bearing
viii be appreciated as highly in London as
they are at home.
One Of the first duties Of Congress. when
II meets in December, or in September
perhaps, should be to provide for Ambas-
saior Bayard, Ambassador Eustis, and
ambassador RunyUn salaries large enough
% enable them to support the new rcspon-
slhllities Of their station without i'm pair
ing their private fortunes. Mr., Bayard is
not generally regarded as very rich man.
lie has certainly accumulated no great
fortune IN political life to his honor he it
said. The salary attached to the office at
London, when 1t was only a first class mis-
SION and not an embassy, was barely
enough to meet the simplest necessary ex.
penses Of the incumbent; and we suppose
his own MONEY while he has beer, on 5n ~,
in London. ''''''
