turn over their military chest to the
Democracy.
But we would like to know what sort OF
courtmartial is to be ordered on our
precipitate friends of the Pic? AS we
understand its modification of Sim
movable neutrality" it now insists that
all dissenters from Republican principles
shall combine for the purpose Of hunting
that party out of Office and out of the
country. 1t is not unlike what we be-
lieve is called in French 1attue That
is, all the hunters in the country come to-
gether, surround the wood or fields in
which there is supposed to be game, kill,
cripple and capture in common, and then
divide the spoils.
The Picayeue finds, however, diff
Guilty in organizing the ''wild hunt after
Office The dignifed Democracy swells
and exhibits symptoms of apoplexy at
the presumption Of the Pic The White
Leagues are fearful that some Repub-
licans may escape through mistaken len
ity. The peoples men have no idea of
putting on the Democratic collar which
has CALLED them so long. The attempt
to combine sulphur, nitre and charcoal
in such proportions that they will not ex-
plode, has failed. That chief of political
chemists, the Picayune, had better aban-
don the experiment before it shall be
blown into ''demnition little bits"
We think our suggestions correct, that
the Republican ticket will be the only place
for those in search of model candidates.
Although the hopes of the Pic are defeated,
as we feared they would be, it is to be
hoped that while the Republican lamp
holds out its hospitable ray, that ample
time will be afforded to those who are
seriously in search of political rest to
anchor in its conservative haven.
