lost PennsylTania,a and will be of no more |
account in politics now that corruption |
has been struck down In him. Alexan-
der Cattell has been left at home, and |
is now known as the avail ring is |
known. Zach. Chandler has been de- |
feated permanently. Cole, Of Cali |
fornia, is a sturdy Office beggar, sue
ceeded by a Democrat. Mr.. Conkling |
sees New York $4,000 Democratic, and |
himself without followingexcept that !
which he kept in Office John CONFESS
has followed his colleague, Cole. Mr..
Frelghuysen finds New Jersey |
and himself with separate ca
reers. Harlan has been ruined by |
disclosures of Credit Mobilier, and he
is UNANIMOUSLY rich. Howard, of Michi-
gan, was first defeated and then died of
a horrible accident. Morgan, of New
York, was put to a double degradation.
He was defeated, and he was defeated
by R. Z. FentOn, Crsgin is barnacle
on the navy, and Williams has been
retired for the corruption of his family
and the incompetency Of himself. Mr.
Norton sees Indiana repudiate him
and his party by $4,000 majority.
PomerOy goes out all over corrupt.
Ramsey was defeated by his own party.
John Sherman has lived to see Ohio
$1,000 Democratic on Congress vote.
Sprague has failed both in politics and
business. Stewart, of Nevada, sur
wives as the product and horrible ex-
ample of rotton borough politics to see
worse iobbers than himself succeed
him. COrbett has been sent back
to retail shop-keeping In Oregon.
Drake has been buried In the Court of
Claims, and finds Frank Blair honored,
though dead, and himself execrated,
though alive. by Missouri. Mr.. Ed
munds and the two Morrills seem ex-
captions to retribution. They have not
lost heir seats or their States, but the
country has repudiated their party
Poor Nye is In a mad. house. Ferry, Of
Connecticut, Is a hopeless invalid, and
his State has repudiated his party, too.
Patterson has retired, disgraced with
Credit Mobilierism. Sumner did works
meet for repentance, but he is dead.
Thayer, Upton and Wiley are not even
remembered. Henry Wilson is a VIC
tim of terrible self-inficted malady,
and Massachusetts, has parted company
with him. Wade has sunk into senile
lobbyist, and Yates died in a condition
not necessary to recall.
OF those who voted for acquittal,
Garrett Davis, VIM. P Fessenden, Jas.
L. Dixon, Jas. r. Grimes, Charles Nor
ton, of Minnesota, and Willard Sauls-
bury are dead. Their memories are
held in honor as men who dared do
right when it cost much t. do so.
Pennsylvania has swung back to the
faith of Buckalew, and Indiana to that
of Hendricks. Iowa has remained
steadily Radical, but has indicated
the name of Grimes by high hoDOrs.
Delaware, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mary
land, West Virginia, and Illinois have
either remained or become Conserva-
tive. Kansas has made Ross a State
Senator, and Pomeroy fingers, as
said, In corrupt obscuuty. Mr.. Hen
derson unaccountably went back to
Radicalism, but Missouri did not. Mr..
Fowler holds high State Office in Ten
nessee, and wealth and even fame wait
on Lyman Trumbull. Mr.. Reverdy
johnson retired at his own wish, and
so did Mr.. Vickers. Mr.. McCreery Is
again in the Senate, while Mr. Bayard's
son succeeded him there. In recalling
these f5cts and the rewards and retri-
Buttons presiding in them, nobody
need speculate about what the people
thought Of impeachment.
