The Hannx FamiIx.A

Our gallant neighbor Of the Jouynal-gal-
liant he must be, because like GIBSON, Of
Treasury defaulting memory, and BAKER,
the thief detective. he is a Brevet Brigadier,
and because, like his illustrious predecessor,
Quartermaster HURT, he was in the army
finds the Jordan of Chaseism a hard road
to travel. He is kicked and cuffed on all
sides. his Journal derided and its editor,
losing bis propriety, if he ever had any,
scolds his fellow Negro Suffragites like
very drab. He tried to carry the Ohio Abb
olitionists for CHASE for President, but he
lacked the taste, tact and talent for such a
Herculean task. When he thought he had
succeeded he was farthest from It,. His
labor of love, and for pay, turned out like
the labors of Sysiphis, whose great feat of
rolling huge stone up hill was upset by
finding it next morning at the bottom. 1t
was sort of wild goose chase after Pres
ilent making, but like other efforts in the
same direction, the Journal man had his
labor for his pains. . rf '.--f7H 2 nra 7s ~
MACK, the Intelligent correspondent of
the Commercial, who was on hand the night
before the election, and witnessed the eff
forts of the CHASE men, as others saw them,
thus gives this expose Of the affair: 4, f.,
"The Chase men have been defeated in
every attempt to bring the Presidential
electioninto the convention. They sought
to do so by forcing General Sehenck to be-
come a candidate as opposed to Hayes,
whom they represent as Grant man.
Schenck has, however, positively and une-
quivocally refused TO allow the use of his
name, and the Chase men are in trouble to-
night in consequence. .riit.1 Do sG
This move was initiated by few sore
heads. aided by small newspaper, said to
be published in Columbus by an eX-brigadier,
who does not like Hayes. Schenck saw
through it, aud very judiciously damned
every body connected with it. To one
delegation of anxious persons, he said "If
you want a Congressman for Governor,
why don't you take John Sherman out of
the Senate, and run him?" aal .ls1sEun'
''Schenck is candidate for the Senate,
and will have that or nothing. 1o-.
rThe next move of the Chase men is to
get Richard G. Parsons for temporary
chairman of the Convention. They will
hardly succeed, from present indications.
Spalding, who is rampageous Grant man,
is his competitor, and is said to have large
majority of the Cleveland delegation on
his side. 1t is not likely that either will
be chosen, as there will be strong opposi-
tion to the Introduction of Presidential is
sues. trsa -saf arra -sr fr iea.
''If square fight should be made, the
Chase men would undoubtedly be beaten
two to one. This know, from poll of
several large delegations, including Cleve-
land and Cincinnati" sI r. .~rat
Unlike his custom when writing about
Democrats, MACK, in the above, has not
drawn upon his imagination for history,
nor on his memory for wit, but has daguer-
reotyped the whole affair with his usual
ability.
Like the fish woman, the Journal uses
invective for argument, and meets the
Commercials blast with counter blast,
and charges that the same MACK, "about
two years ago." was in the Journal office
and 'was led out by the nose for attempt
ing to steal the report of a speech" To
steal from the Journal is like filching a
crust from a beggar, but we hardly credit
the assertion. Within orr knowledge that
paper never contained single article
worth taking without leave, and we know
of no one in that concern that would dare
meddle with the nose of MACK, ''or any 9TH
er man." They are of the class of bipeds
of which HORACE GREELEY said, "God, for
some inscrutible purpose permits to edit a
majority of the' Radical journals, and as
such, as general rule, are of the kind who
stick their noses into other peoples busi-
ness, yet never dare meddle with the snout
of other people, for that is a dangerous
practice, and men have been kicked for at
tempting it. '7'- 4-i
1t was mean in MACK to speak of the
central organ of Mr.. CHASE and of negro
suffrage, as "a small newspaper, said to be
published in Columbus by an ex-Brigadier,
who does not like HAYES" While it is true,
every word of it, the truth is not to be
spoken at 5an times. Smarting under
his double defeat first, in his attempt to
make the Convention CHASE concern, and
secondly, to defeat HAYES, it is malice
prepense for MACK to tell unpalatable
truths about the Brigadier and his little
Journal. ..-.. ....-- ....- d. .....-
