Inc prominent luea ueEiVcu lfou Cue ioI0
radical caucuses. conferences, interviews, letters
and speeches is that were it not for the large
number of democrats now 10 the United States
Senate the radical opposition to President Hayes
10 that body would be as great as it was TO Presl
dent johnson. MIR. Hayes may therefore we'll
congratulate himself upon his democratic allies,
for we're it not Tor their strength his official term
would be rendered exceedingly disagreeable
by enemies 10 his own party, who are only pre-
vented from opposing him at every step by the
knowledge that such opposition would be inef'
feotual by reason Of The support the few friends
he has 10 the Senate would receive from the
democrats. Were the democrats 10 such small
minority 10 the Senate now as they were during
MIR. johnson 3 ad administration, Mr.. Hayes would
receive the same treatment from them that
they accorded MIR. Johnson, and 1t is we'll Tor
him and the country that the democrats are
strong enough now to protect him from the
assaults against which they we're too weak to de-
fend man who. like him, desired TO be the
President of the country, not the representa-

Among the many ludicrous Inconsistencies OF
which the radicals are guilty, 20 one is
now more apparent than that of those who
live 10 the Seventh Senatorial district

until he bolted from The Tammany organiza.

The action of the radical Senators, when they
had such majority that one or two seats in
their body made no difference 10 the legislation,
was not calculated 10 inspire hopes of Justice or
equity when their majority should be reduced
80 low as to be doubtful, and their late action
in the Louisiana Senatorial case is probably in
dcaliye of the admission of Kellogg.
