THERE IS one nan in Washington

braced up with ramrod We don't
know that the Hon. David Davis of
Illinois can help it, but he is a verita-
bic old tub of entrails with sufficient
brain to be statesman, but possessing
no more back bone than a leather
whlplash. He IS a sort of ':balance of
power just now when he ought to be
GlbraItarian rock against which the
waves of the heavy political sea, run
ming mountain high, might beat with
impunity. He has professed to be
Republican, tut he is really a sort Of
political hermaphrodite, and has gone
to bed with Democracy. He was first
On the bench Of the United States Su-
premo Court, from which he rolled eff
into the Senate and was holden to no
party, for the position claiming to be
an Independent with Republican pre-
objections, But Democracy has pro-
v4d too much for David. He might
now Stay the Democratic Goliath. but
he refuses to take his sling only as it
Is handed him at the Ssnate restur-
ant, and then he sings it into his cor

with his red bandanna while he throws
the dice to see which way he will vote
