1T AH lTcQuOutly CIeItucu nv TIC ar
dent friends OF the Presidents policy,
and Of Mr.. schurz particularly, who
has been doing but little else since
1879 except trying to prove on the
stump that there ought not to be any
republican party, that the said Schurz
done gallantservicefor Haycsin Ohio
in 1866.
The intelligent reader will recollect
that in his speeches in Ohio in those
years, for which he was duly paid, he
only advocated the election of Hayes
as Governor and President, because
he was Z hard-money man and be-
cause the Germans were, including
himself, hostile to Pendletoaism.
In none Of those speeches which we
can now recall did he support Hayes
because he was republican, and so
questionable did he maintain his at
titude, that Mr.. Tilden felt authorized
at the commencement Of the presi-
dental campaign, to offer him place
in his prospective cabinet in consid.
ertion that Schnrz should deliver his
set speeches all over The country for
the democrats, instead of for the Re-
pnblicans.
There is one thing, however, that
the reader has not forgotten of the
Schurz cloquence which was copious-
ly inflicted upon the country at 5000
speech, and that was that every de-
partment of Grants administration
was, in his opinion, reeking with most
foul and rotten corruption. In his
spitefnl and bitter denunciation of
Grants administration, stimulated to
great extent by the fact that Grant
had turned out of office his own
worthless brother-in- law and many
others of his disreputable retainers,
Mr. Schurz especially pointed to the
Interior Department, containing the
Land, Patent, Pension and Indian Of
fees, as the hotbed of Grants nepot-
ism, and being, as II were, from top
to bottom, full OF republican thieves
and scalawags.
Since March 9th last Mr.. Schurz
has been Secretary Of the Interior,
and has had carte blanche from Presi-
dent Hayes to clean out those alleged
Angean stables, and Notwithstanding
the fact that he has converted his de-
partment into o gigantic smelling
committee, the thieves have not been
discovered and no Irregularities have
been developed. 1t is true that Mr.,
Schurz got up quarrel with Indian
Commission Smith, and had an Indian
claim Agent and lawyer named Hayt
appointed in his stead, but as Mr.,
Smith has just been appointed and
confirmed Consnl. General to Canada,
"a better office than he had), it is fair
to presume that no charges rested
against his official conduct.
Either Carl Schurz was knowingly,
wilfully, maliciously lying, or else he
ought to have had by this time, in the
back yard Of the Interior Depart
ment, a regular Bender graveyard,
we'll filed up with his own dead, and
. funeral or two every day the year
round.
The fact of the business is that Mr..
Schurz Is fair type Of the Pharisaic-
al Reformer, who, when he is out of
Office, denounces al the ins as dishon-
est, and when he is in once, goes out
of the reform business.
