A BEAUTIFUL DUcK.-The Stockton In
dependent uses up Fremont in the follow
ing lively style for accepting the Cleveland
nomination
"His insolent letter of acceptance has
placed river as flaming and impossible as
the Styx between himself and all true
patriots He, the weak, extravagant fool,
who wasted every month on fine feathers
and body guards more than the yearly wa
ges of the President, to prate Of public ex-
travagance in the Administration is sim
ply the whine Of an idiot, and will be so
universally regarded He, who never for
a month at stretch could live in harmony
with his brothers in the army or his own
party in politics, is beautiful duck to talk
of Americanizhg the continent and weld
ing all antagonisms into one harmonious
whole He has neither the temper nor the
breadth of intellect to fit him as President
of republic as large as Hayti. He is es-
sentially factionist-of the dark Robe
sperrean sort, who would lend himself to
any work of public destruction in P'9r to
achieve personal distinction.
