FRENCEY.

The co,;esponden: Of the Cincinnati
7'ir"es thinks the thoroughly ''Frerchy'
! character Ct our politics was shown by the
meeting at the Clay statue which resolved
itself into committee Ct the whole TO

Others were eyovding the theatre 70 see
the leg d,ama..o: Pauline Markham. One of
the French speakers is thus quoted:
! Fellow ceetzens-Zs is nc: re time for ze

Either the speaker or some other told
the people tha: the Latin mode Of reform

! leaders. This speaker stated tina. he had
| been follower If Garibaldi, and that be
| would give private lessons and assist IN
Introducing into the United States the in
! stitution Of assassination so successful in
! the politics Of Southern Europe. We are
! compelled TO coucede that some men of
American lineage have resorted TO ''agita-
:ion' and ''ac:ion' 70 secure a change Of
an administration obnoxious to :hem. but
they have recoiied with horror from any
proposal to change an election resul: with
the stiletto. and have denounced the rob-
berry Of private property under pre:ense
OF ehectins a change Of government:
