POLITICAL ON DIT.

L.
clans are busy mastering the question Of extra
session. at present the prospects are deci-
dedly against one being entertained with a
repetition OF the performance of these Warm
SprlnS Indians, foT some of the braves are de-
cidedly against acting in traces with a Con
servative House, which they are satisfied will
be present if an extra session is called.
Perhaps Pitt desires to cal them together
but the pressure behind him is too strone for
him to resist and his doughty knights must
be obeyod.
What is going TO be done in case they do
come together is przzling question to many.
ior the party cannot afford to commit politi-
cal hari kar: as yet by repeating old partisan
statutes which have been the very bulwark
q their power Outside of this there is
nothing particularly desirable for the people
IN an extra session, and where the good is to
come from but few can see.
What They VIII DO.
lie adlournei meeting of the Returning
Board viii probably take place in few days
in New York. The reason of Kenner, Wells
and the other strikers leaving for Washington
Is too patent TO deceive any one, and we may
expect to see manufactured aft davits hitherto
unknown presented to Mr. Wheeler, which
never before saw the Returning Board. That
they will hide much of the evidence tina. was |
presented, We Zee! assured, and that they will |
attempt to play their old tricks may be well |
expected.
With the strong team they have sent, it |

time, that the Returning Board is decided to |
have been rather respectable body, and that |
Mr.. Wheeler will awake to the fact that the |
committee nialigned them. Some novel and |
rich developments may be expected, inasmuch
rs the Conservatives have not such corps of
htyy workers present.

f91f Henry Ward Beec perhaps more
than any other man could assume one of
those sanity sanctimonious smiles, which SO
frequently adorn Pitts open countanance.
When the de facto talks about securing to
'our people good and economical govern
ment he is really Is amusing as the perform
ing emeu.
His eyes roll trlgcally, his mouth settles
down into puritanic pucker and his words
roll ont mclihlously. He breaches Of tie

ioitcrlngs Amongs; the Faithful.
Il is wonderful how little men know when 0
they don't want to be communicative. The t
bosses Of the Radical party from their con- s.
apparently know not an iota Of P
what is going on, and by their reticence they ri
attempt to throw around the future of our
political affairs a cloud OF mystery. They
dou't know whether we will have an extra
session or not, they smile incredulously when
the probability is suggested, and rs blandly
grin when it is limited there is no chance f1r q
such gathering.
Take it all in all they are remarkably well n
and work well in traces. Not
all this, however, now and .
again little hints are dropped, which give Ii
some inkling Of what is going on in the Radi- y
cal camp, and from these we CLEAN that the b
opposition to extra session IS Increasing II
amongst the faithful to an alarming extent. ?
rney don't want any of this soothing syrup,
md Pitt can. force the dose down.
