A writer In the Little Rock Gazette

is u little shaky on affairs Of later date.
The old man, while at Alexandra,
rememhers seeing division Of Wssh-

Cornwallis, aud with other little hoys
followed the soldiers out OF town. He
does not. 'claim to have seen George 'G

workmen we're building it. After
i leaving Virginia Peter went to Ken

not seeking it's advocates among the

The, defeat of tho regular Democratic

defeat of the regular nominees IN MO,

elements opposed to good government
and in both of which the ignorance

Whatever share, however, the work

i'm that contest, it is self-evident that
their attempt to create a national party |

interest of any one class is the interest
of all classes, and that 1t Is only when |
one attempts to override tho others
| that the social equilibrium is disturbed.
If. from its foundation, any party
has been in name and In deed the

When J. Madison Wells and his com

When J. Madison Wells and his COM
panions, Anderson, Casenave. and
Kenner, called to pay their respects to
the Fraudulent President. they were
properly given precedence of the num-
erous visitors there before them. Only
a monster of ingratitude could have
denied them immediate admission.
Hayes is not monster of ingratitude.
He sent at once for the four men who
had made him Fraudulent President,
greeted them with the polite Difference
which the creature owes to the creator,
introduced them to Mrs. Hayes, and
gave them the free run of John Sher-
mans parlors. If the Treasury detec-
tive who has been at Hayes disposal
ever since he left Columbus, had Or
ders to watch the Louisiana Return
ing Board while they ranged about
the house, it is to be hoped that he
did his duty unobtrusively and gave
no offence to the precious quartet.
