The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-09-03

which was really the only healthy thing about
his administration. While the present con-
elave Is operating by stealth, deluding the
country with hollow pretenses and stealing
the livery of reform in which TO operate some
of the most detesttble machine politics
| ever contrived. For my part / exclaim,
GIVE US A CYCLE OF GRANT
rather than year Of the insidious firm Of
Sherman, Evarts and Schtrz. Grantism was
u disease which, like q malignant boil, worked
It's own cure But Sherman -Evarts-Schtirz-
ism is q cancer that can be cured only by the
knife
The readers Of the DEMOCRAT will bear me
Witness that do not often indulge in "Cabi-
net r1mors." which, | regret to say, Is fast
| reaching the proportions Of u vice among my
able young eo-laborers on Newspaper Row in
Washington But just for this once / will try
my hand. The Democracy will carry Ohio
this fall. Then you will see shows in the Re-
publican household.
BLAINE Will MOUNT HIS HIGH JACKAss,
and swear that it was the Southern Policy.
Sherman, Evarts and Sehurz will retort that
it was the disaifection of Blaine and Ben
Wade. MeCrary who wants TO come to the
sosiiHte lEbHl lDWh III 100, Will GSt ScHlSb,
fly to the bosom Of Blaine for refuge. John
Sherman, who. under the exterior Of u black
snake conceals the courage Of u rabbit, will
conclude that the firm Of Sherman Evarts
II Schurz has two partners too m,ny. and will
dissolve the association. Then there will be
fun all around, and before Congress shall have
been in session three months Hayes will be
forced to either accept such terms as Blaine
Il Go. may offer him. or to throw himself upon
the charities of the Democratic House
Either Of these contingencies involves
the destruction Of the celebrated firm Of Sher
man, Eyarts Il Schurz, and the unceremonious
exit Of at least the latter from the Cabinet, to-
gether with the total collapse Of the present
| monstrous combination of shame and petit
| foggery known as the
REFORM POLICY OF THE ADMINISTRATIONS"
| As for Key, he will be lost to view as soon as
| the grand ruction begins, and may never be
| heard Of again. He will be in 81 plight similar
to that of the Irish dwarf In the celebrated
shindy at Raghelty, in the county of Tip
perary. He will be stepped on in the melee
and after II Is all over some one Of the big fel
| lows will be seen removing the debris of him
| from the hob-nai heads Of his stout shoes.
Then we shall tenderly gather up the frag
| ments and entomb them whore the curving
| Tennessee sweeps under the eternal shadow
| of tall Lookout over them we will erect Il
| little stone and upon it we may inscribe an
| epitaph to warn all future wel-meaning
| Democrats against the fatal effort Of trying
| to lend responsibility to Radical frauds.
| Have you heard from the late municipal
| election in Mobie2 Judging from the fuss
| that is made about 1t up here, should say
| that 1t was an affair Of universal moment.
My Northern friends ask me II have heard
| from Mobile us If they expected me to
JUMP JIM GROW AND TEAR MY SHIRT.
"There goes your solid South at last I" they
exclaim. But / do not rend my undergar-
| nent. On the other hand assure them that
| there is no cause for ALARM The South, left
to herself, will speedily seek the equities of
political division and the equipoises of party
differences, after the natural fashion Of free
communities. But let a carpet-bagger of
yore poke his head in sight and then watch
out to see where he will land. You have no
idea how much solid comfort our Northern
friends are extracting from that little Mobile
election. 1t even seems TO mitigate the sor-
rows of their bankruptcy.
By the way, and us postscript to my last
letter there Is well-foundcd rumor here
that both the World and Tribhne are about to
change hands. The World, / hear, will pass
under the control of my friend Stilson Hutch
ms, of st. Louis, about the 1st of October,
and the Tribune is to fall into the hands Of
the friends of Horace White, who intend to
place him at the head of it. In both cases
the reading public is likely to be largely the
gamer, but whether the purchasers will be or
not remains to be seen A. G. B.
