There was n time in the political histor.
uf Cairo when the managers Of the Rad
ical party of The city profe'sed great lov'
for the Germans, and very irequcnil,
smearcd them from hea TO foot with YER
bal soft soap. When party nomination
wa, TO be made. the Radical manager
could be seen fitting from ono prominent
German to another asking advice which
,hcy did not intend ~ profit by. and going
through the moekery Of sham consulta-
lions, with all the gravity Of owls and bra
zcnness ofhypocrify.
Iii. true. however, tina, Hon. ID. W.
Mum, who has been illustrious ever since
the time he squirmcd, pulling and pul>ins,
ia hi. nurses arms, has never in llis own
proper person underworld 70 court the
German element of our population. This,
in Justice to that able gentleman, we ARE
compelled to say. H. has never, us his
striker, have done, contaminated his foot
~ placing it inside beer salooni and
Nhcu he hears how the Germans indulge
IN rccrcations ON the sabbath day rolls up
his eyes rs If in the agonics ofrainiul dis
solution. He is too temperate, too rclig-
ious, too nearly the approximation oil all
that i. sanity in humanity, to encourage
the traac in lager or ccuntenance by his
presence the Sunday amusements of the
German citizens, whose political noses he
believes he holds between the powerful
thumb and mighty forcAngcr Of his po-
tent right hand. The leader of our relig-
ious element the very pink Of morality,
nothing less than the sun-howcr Of tenn
pemncc, he, ofnll men, cannot countenancc
any deviation from the paths Of straight-
jacket religionism, which he does not take
himself; bat ho has always heretofore la
bored to keep the Radical German element
in the traces, and has cracked his whip
with per,isten, industry about their ODE
dent heads. lie has ordered aud they
have not failed TO obey.
Iii. true, also that Mr.. d. 7. Lincgar

placcn,ly cats the crumbs which Mr.. Mum
allows to fall from the political table, Is Of
not much use 10 the Gctmans except 10
