Our Esteemed Cotemporaries

The Jackson Eveiiing Star settles the controversy : Bob Haire, our ex-prosecntinr attorney, las gone to ühio to speak for Cleyeland ind Hendricks. This vvould seem to settle the question in tliat state. Charlotte Republican : Ex-Senator Pendleton aud ex-Senator Eenry G. Davis declared recently at D er Park, Md., that tliey woutd uot take my part iu the present campaign. They ue disgiisted wilh the democratie nomination. Ex-Senator McDonald, of [ndiana, is not disposed to aid very uiaErlally elther, nor is Mr. Tliurtnan. Tlie Midland Republican remarks: Republicans should realize the iuiportanee of electing the republican ticket froni national to county. ít can be done. Mere personal lifferences should be settled elsewhere. Unless a man is in liimself unlit for an office, he should be cordially suppoited. Tlie republican party has yet a ínission as a nottonal party, and the moral effect of solid victories cannot be overestimated. Perliaps oíd Ben can solve this poser from the Midland Repúblicas: Ben Butler claims to be the working man's f riend, and yet he asks the working man to give half his vote to the democratie party, the life long enemy oí labor. The democratie party did all it eould to preserve that great evil, slavery, the worst enemy of labor and wages, and its stron; fice trade tendendeney, as shown by Mr. Butler himself shows that it still is entitled to be called the enemy of labor. The Brighton Citizen has about the right of it: When it comes to a question of neeessity on sides there is no trouble between capital and labor. The Edgar Thompson Steel Comiíany, of Pittsburfr, shown its laboiers that under the present rate of wa;es it was losiuor money and wonld liave to close down sooner or later the men yielded to a reduction of pny without a whimper. It is when one side tries to climb higher on the backs ot the other side that troublu begins. Which refers to the tail end of the crawfish ticket, from the Adrián Times: While John A. Lorau was bloeding in defense of his ountry, Hendricks was sweating in the work of tryinu to tie the hands of lion-hearted Gov. Morton, thus irivingaid and comfort to the rebels. Perbal that is why Hendricks waschosen Tlie people on whoni he depends for bis votes in the electoral college are cert-iinly nnder some soit of obllgation to hitn, and this may be the way they have chosen to pay o' the obligatiun.
