IT is said that Mister Sands, our
Aleck, came back from Washington
with a very lively and large sized flea
in his ear. He went on to the political
emporium Of the country with ''lttle
game" to SELL. But buyers wouldn't
even nibble at Aleek's minnow. AS
bait 1T was too small. Moreover, they
thought that, in putting up GOV. Hayes
at auction, our Aleok was offering to
sell something that he never owned and
couldn't deliver. Whereupon Mister
Sands returned to the bosom of his fam

Upon him all Republicans can cordially

from the beginning. In Congress and
everywhere he has been the active oppo-
nsnt OF all subsidies and land grants.
He was always the implacable enemy OF
corruption and pecalation in every form.
His leng career in Congress was charae
terized as a persistent contest against
Bxtravaganee in public expenditure,
and In favor of economy in all depart
ments OF the Government. He discov-
sred Gen. Grant and put him in the
keld and at the head Of the Army. He
has always been the sworn foe of all
''rings," political or rnercenary. He has
most honorabIy represented orr country
abroad during the most critical times in
European affairs. He has totally escaped
Ill the contamination Of scandal that
seems to cling around other eminent
men. His official residence abroad has
kept him perfectly free from the cor
ruption that has fastened and fattened
upon officials left at home. During the
bombardment Of Paris by the Prussian
artillery, he was the only foreign. .Minis-
)er that had the pluck to stick to his
post regardless of the dangers to which
he was necessarily exposed. He has
gained the hearts Of ali Germans by bis
aevoted care and labors in looking after
The welfare of their countrymen during
The siege Of Paris. In purity of life,
in integrity OF character, and In in

erected. We, however, have heard sug-
gested couple of plans which are cal

such thing.
What Blaine's letters might disclose
no one can conjecture; but we presume
not much, as most of them were written
years ago, before Blaine had ever ap-
peared in public life. One thing is cer-
tain, that Mr.. Mulligan had no business
with them, and never had any right to
them in any form; and his unwarranted
removal OF them from his employers
safe bears an ugly look in every aspect.
