ScHEVCK POKER.

We are sorry 10 learn that even with
the profits of Little Emma and the
partnership with Norman Wizard, Gen.
r. G. Schenck, President Grants Min
istcr in England, has found it difficult
to make both ends meet, and proposes
TO retire from the unrenumentive SER
vice of an mgrateiul country. Some
skeptical newspapers say that it is be-
cause he has not had sufficient luck at
draw poker But this ought not to be
too rashly accepted as the cause of bis
threatened resignation. Schenck has
never first rate luck at the great
American game. His devotion to it
has been steady, ,but,as now in England
he has not always been able to make
both end meet. Why, the very day
before he sailed from this city to enter
upon his present mission, he played
poker all the afternoon and night with
n party of distinguished gentlemen,
without regard to their political ante
ccdents. At6st he lost pretty roundly
and Just before o'clock in the evening,
he sent an excuse to a citizen with
whom he had agreed TO take dinner,
saying that some important business
which he had not been able To COM
pletc, rendered il impracticable for him
to keep his engagement; and later
hour being still unable to make both
ends moot la aant opofhar a,,alanx. 10

A BIGOT AND DElfAGOGUE,
Ex-Speaker Blaine took avery prom
inent part in the Connecticut election.
He stumped every county in the State
and rctailed more bigotry and dema-
gogism than any of his co-opartners.
The result must be painful to him,
even more so than to Grant, because
he went There voluntarily, and depor-
ted himself more like n jackass than
a statesman. In his speech at Hart
ford two days before the election, he
said
A Democratic victory means one thing, viz +;
the installation of the spirit OF rebellion and OF
the mon who were In the rebellion In power. 1
beg Of you for your own sakes, for the sake of
your brethren In their graves, for the sake Of the
memory Of Connecticut, do not forget that the
conflict Of 1875 involves the issue Of loyalty and
disloyalty. Men no older than 0en. IIawley
Gov. Jewell, or myself, remember that the war Of
1912, in which not men enough were engaged ID
form n pickes-li line Of Grants army, threw It's
shadow over political contests for twenty five
years and you arc told ten years after the last
to forget and forgive and not refer to the dis
agreeable subject. wish our party to stand In
76 and 80, and 'SI, aud in many other cam
paigns where our brothcrt stood from '6i TO '65.
This stuff in substance he repeated
in every speech. More bigotry could
not be put in the same number of
lines, and it seems the people of Con.
necticut so understood it, because a
Democratic majority Of nearly 10000
and gain of half the the Congress
sional delegation, twenty per cent, of
a gain in Senators, members of the
Legislature and county officers, is such
a laundering declaration that no man
need hesitate as to whatitmeans. IfPost
master General Jewell and demagogue
Blaine cannot interpret this verdict

rHE GOVERNMENT JpARyED.

IHE fOVEhNMENT VA HNED
The Cincinnati Gdscitc, ono of The
leading Western organs Of Radicallsm,
has recently indulged IN some plain
talk to Con. Grant, and puts Il in this
way.
Tho Republican party has y very
largo interest n President Grant, und
the latter has Lively interest in
the Republican party. We, there
iurc, Ms n supporter Of the Repub.
llcan party and u friend Of the presl-
dent, bog leave to say few words
to the latter, and in order that there
may be no misunderstanding about
tho matter, and to prevent our words
from being pocketcd by intermediate
agents, we print what we have to say.
There Is a person in Washington known
as Gov. Shepherd, who has very bad
reputation throughout the country
This person is regarded as the head Of
the gang who are known TO have 'im.
proved" the City Of Washington ut nm
enormous cost TO the public, and, MS is
generally believed, with profit to them,
selves. That the public were swindled
by the so-callcd Ring is now generally
believed
One feature Of President Grants
character fully as prominent us any
other, is a disposition to stand BY his
friends, and to take care Of his wound
ed. This Is, In itself commcndablc, but
II may be carried too far and person
may often treat persons us his friends
who arc in reality his enemies, In
! this respect President Grant has, In
our opinion, made many Mistakes
NOTABLY in the mistake that proved
seriously Injurious to himself person
ally, and to the party he represents
willie It's general effect was demoraliz
ing. rl f
This brings us 10 the point TO which
we desire the Presidents attention. iol
the purpose of showing him that hi,
, friendship was misplaced. There is I
