COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

New York Journal: 1t is interesting to
know that the ONO Republican convention
was wholly controlled by the friends of
Senator Hanna. This is the same Hanna
who was found guilty by an investigating
secured his election TO the United States
senate by BRIBERY. Hanna did not at
| tend the convention. He was kept in
of defending himself from the charges of
| bribery which have been filed with the
vice president. That affair Hanna will
defer to suit his own convenience. He is
| too busy with profitable matters just now
| TO give thought to clearing himself of a
strongly supported charge of BRIBERY.
BRIBER, controlled wholly the state con-
Ivention of Ohio Republicans. 1t is enough
| to state the fact to give new idea of the
quality of some Ohio Republicanism.
! Louisville CouriereJeurnal: The Span
iards claim that the new. explosive which
J Camara has is such that if it is exploded
anywhere in the neighborhood of an iron
| clad so great win be the displacement
/ of water that the vessel will be at once
engulfed. That is undoubtedly the sort
of ammunition the Spanish gunners need.
| They have been utterly unable to hit our
ships. but they have occasionally, if ac-
cidentally, hit the neighborhood.
Atlanta Journal: Governor Tyler, of
Virginia, who was elected as the regular
Democratic nominee, and received hardly
any support from negroes, declares that
he will give military. commissions to ne
groes. He holds that as the negro COM
panies are organized under the same laws
as the white companies and their officers
have passed the same examinations as
white officers, they are entitled to equal
recognition at his hands.
Los Angeles Herald: Both the president
and the individual members of his cabinet
have talked too much. They have been
prone to carry on the war in the news
: papers rather than on land and sea. They
! have been altogether too communicative.
Periodically for the past six weeks the
country has been advised, authoritatively,
of the purposes of the administration
touching the invasion of Cuba and Porto
Rico and the occupation of the Philip
pines. no declaration surviving a period
of as hours. The frequent change of plans
has justified the almost universal con-
| fixity of purpose, that he has been unde-
| termined as to Whist course to pursue
from day to day, that he has not had the
courage of his convictions. that he has
been too susceptible to exterior influences,
and. above all, too indiscreet in the dis
tribution of his condolences.
Carson Appeal: The selection of Tampa,
Fla, as a soldiers camp is another in
stance of how the push takes care of
the railroads. There is but one road to
the place. and water is 8 cents a gallon.
A little distance from Tampa there is
abundance of w<.er and two competing
railroads. Camp Merritt was selected in
San Francisco to help swell the receipts
of the Southern Pacific. Thus is the gov
eminent robbed in time of war. This is
not a time to buy government bonds. rail-
road stock seems to be a much better in
vestment.
Louisville Courier-Journal: While Mad
rid is circulating rumors of impending in
PREVENTION by France in our affairs the
president OF the French republic is hav-
ing great difficulties in his search for
somebody who IS able to provide Il gov
eminent for France The old ministers
retain their portfolios until their success
ors are chosen. But in the interval they
use use a military phrase. They are dis
credited by an adverse vote of the cham
Der of deputies. and can inaugurate no
new policy
