J. Carlyle calls them "beautiful black dar.

: views of the Grant party. Grant is {

Weudell Phillips is not yet satisfied

would you have the poor wretch to do
Hasn't he eaten dirt enough Hasn't
he suffi GENTLY proved himself the dirti

disgraced this earth? Ifthat does not
qualify him for a Presidential nominee
of the Phillips party, what amount of
mental or moral nasliness would do
lit?
An exchange says-"Grant's duplic-
ity is proved beyond doubt" Yes,
so is his dups-licity pretty well made
out. He has pretty well duped himself
at any rate, if he Iexpects to be Presi
dent.
Will some one point out any earthly
good Of the presence of Democratic
members in this illegal Rump Congress !?
We can point out much harm they do
by being there, but we challenge any
one to show what good they do. |
While their presence does not make
the body legal one, it lends an appa-
rent legality to it, and therefore enables
the Mongrel revolutionists to carry on
their internal ,plans with the greater
success. The Democrats should leave
the Rump in body, on the ground that
it is an Unconstitutional concern, and
fling the issue at once before the peo-
pie.
