Where is the jolly tar7 Where the stately
Senator 1t was a sad night for Robson and
Frelinghuysen-Nlonday night, we mean, when
at or about Trenton the Republican Rcpresen-
tatiycs of New-Jerscy in caucus assembled
nominated John Y. Foster for Clerk of the
House. For, as the world now knows, Foster
is Blaincs own. Shall tneTc be no end OF
Blaine's victories ? Why don't biz enemies
call him Blaine the Victoriou,, and lot his snc-
cess destroy him a. voted against Artist les
"becauso | was tired Of hearing LiII called the
"Justr"
1t was Monday in the afternoon at washing
ton that Blaine was victorious over randall;
aud it was only Monday in the evening at
Trenton that Blaine was victorious over Grant.
And all through Foster, John \. Foster, author
of certain letter, ETC.. etc. Mr. Foster was
born N Ncw-lork and transported to New
Jersey to abuse Mr.. Frelinghuyscn. To
aid him in this attack on good looks and good
manners, he was Put in charge of ncwSim-
per at Newark For in cw-Jcrscy-incrcdi-
bic rs it sccms-mCn are found base enough
to envy one whose noble bearing and faultlcss
dcmeanor have already placed him in the front
rank of Presidential candidates. For years
Foster flied his columns with abuse of MT.
Frclinghuysen. The articles, malignant ana
able, would have accomplished the sinister
wish of their author had they been communi-
Gated to the public. OF this Mr.. Frclnehuy-
sen was aware. and beng the only purchaser
of the paper he invariably destroyed hi, copy
after reading it. And yet Mr.. Frclinchuy,cn
failed to admire The NGrdrk Courier; and
some Of Courtandt Parkcr's friends went 30
far as to accuse this truly great senator Of
hating Mr.. John Y. Foster. THIS alone wouli
seem 10 settle the fate of one less
gifted than John Y. Foster. &" But III,
doom reserved him to more wrath"
He wrote his Blaine letter; and this unlor-
tmatcly he did not keep to his own col
umns; IN short this letter was published.
Hail horrors! Hail Internal world! John J..
Foster ambitious Of high Office, and i'll New
Jersey, and assured of the hatred of Ere
linghuyscn. has gained the hatred Of Grant
Who would dare to east his horoscope7 Surely
the dignity of an insulted Scnator-the iron
clads of a Cabinet ofccr-thc officials OF an
Administration whose third term he has be-
trayed-wl crush him into the red mud OF his
adopted State.
But not so fast. John Y Foster shows fight.
He appears with an oiilllmme. II bears the
initials Cd. G.. b." lie is Blaincs own, and
no one. unpublished Of Blaine shall touch him.
1t is vain that Frclinghuysen points to his
wounded dignity and woos the rural repre-
sentative with his crest and seaing-waX to
rally once again for good looks and good
manners. 1t is vain that the gallant Robson
pants through the villages of South jersey to
tell them that New-JeTscy will lose a broad
seat in The Cabinet if the Republican party
nouts his chief. Vain, for NcwJerscy wor-
ships the rising more than the setting sun, and
John Y. Foster, in the State of Robson and
Frclnghuyscn, known throughout the land rs
an enemy of Grant and friend of the ex-
| Speaker, is made Clerk of the Republican
| House Count one in New-Jerscy, Blaine the
/ Victorious.
