SUNSET COxS DOWNFALL.

In,
"Cr," the Washington correspondent of the
Plttsburg Leader, whose Letters to that paper
src spicy and pewsy, speaks thus truthfully of
Sunset Cox in . recent letter:
ut has always seemed mystery to me that
sunset Cox should have such . downfall this
session, sinking from q position Of some in
Euenee to one OF the very least of those upon
tne democratic side Of the House. Actually at
the beginning OF Congress, he was considered
~ the leader Of the Democratic side, and would
nave received the nomination for Speaker, given
70 FefnAnoo wood, had he not appeared at the
caucus In such hilarious mood from the
innuence OF spiritual excitement as to dis
gust every one. Since that he has been p,oiup
oowny down, and he has, by every act Of i'm
prudence, done the worst possible to hasten Ma
final downfall to the lowest plane of Veaknesa
Possibly there IL not to-day a man in the House
with less influence than he upon ANYTHING that
has . national bearing. The other night he
was billed to deliver q lecture before an Irish
society here The morning of the day he
was to deliver the lecture two editorials
appeared, one in the Chronicle and one in THE
REPUBLICAN, evidently written by the same
hand, asking Irishmen how they could coun-
tenance q man who has written "A Buckeye
Abroad, In which the Irish were villiied to
the full extent Of the writer's vocabulary.
Inc articles also called upon the Irishmen
VINO should attend the meeting to call out the
speaker and question him as to his former
opinions. The result was, Cox was taken Ill
ana could not lecture. have since found out
the secret enemy who wrote these editorials.
As nc used to be his (Cox's) adviser as to his
course In Congress, one can understand what q
mess Cox Is making Of It without having come
body to steer him. He is now the buffoou of
the House, and nothing else. His speech upon
moths In Congress lately was somewhat vitty.
but 1t had no more bearing upon the subject
than select reading from The Journal Pour
Rire would have had. Cox would rather sue
coed n raising laugh in the House than save
q thousand dollars in an appropriation. He
would be in his element in minstrel show, and
perhaps he is not, after all, so much out of the
way In Congress; for, with some one to shake
the bells and dance, the massive brains of the
legislators are thus refreshed and fitted for
further struggles with their arduous labors.
Ger"
It seems from the above that Washington
newspaper men generally have taken ''tum-
BILE, J" to employ New York slang phrase, to
Sammy Cox. "Cr" in the above makes one
mistake. Cox was not sick, though he was not
on the stand that evening; he was physically
sound, but mentally worried. He had prepared
lengthy speech-he always docs-for the
meeting, because his eagerness to address an
Irish audience Is only exceeded by his impu-
dence in doing 50.
