THE WASUJYG7ON SLOP-SHOp.


Private Secretary DOuglass's ready writers in
Washington are still busy manufacturing flap
doodle to he published as editorial in the
Grant country newspapers. We asked, last
Saturday, when we were giving specimens OF
the rhetorical achievements of The Washing
ington Ready Made Editorial Company: " In
&" what newspaper shall we next recognize the
handiwOrk Of the Presidents sCribblers ?n
TO this query we have at once an answer.
Here is an article from The POughkeepSie Eagle
of the Goth ins., about the paternity of which
there can be ID manner of doubt. Here are
the same wild and mOurnful representations !;
here is the sane profusiOn of ferOciOus cpl
thets; here is the same vehement scom and
lofty indignation. There is slight variation
in the cataloglD of mseries and misfortunes
which will ov,rtake the country under the
Presidency of nr. Greeley; and in order that
the misguided -oters Of this republic may go
to ruin and wntchedness with their eyes wide
open, we publish both sets of narrowing prOph-
ecies side by side. If The EdSton PENN Free
Press's article vas not written by the Wash
ington author f the article in The Poughkeep-
sic Eagle, then we do most confidently affirm
that they must have been each the production
of a twin broher. Judge, good reader, for
yourself:

The only difference which we can see here
is that Mr.. Douglass young man is more
snmpishly general in The Free Press and more
peronally particular in The Edgte. In con-
cluing his perspiring effort in the last-named
newspaper, he gives the following fresh calam-
tits Iand character stcs of the Bad Time
Coming:
"nsead OF trips to San Francisco in special train,
proided with thousands OF dollars worth OF wine paid
for at Of the treasury Of the City of NewYork, there

Vry kind it is in Mr.. Private Secretary
Doudass Young Man to add the last little
emoIlent sentence. But for that consolatory
assurance, who knows but the Liberal party
