MAKE THINGS HOT" FOR EVERY
BODY.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.-That
distinguished mushroom statesman
and alleged patriot Dennis Kearney,
president of the workingmen's party
of California, informs me to-day that
he will start for the East about the
middle Of July, or as soon as he re-
covers from grand-marshaling the
procession of the Fourth. Thinking
the readers of the Graphic might
wish to know the objects of his mis-
sion, 1 invited DIR. Kearney to dine
with me, that | might interview him
at my
"Tell me, Kearney," I began,
''where are you going, and what Tor,
and how long will you be absent?"
..I'm going to all the principal
cities In the East" replied the agita-
tor. ''My business is to organize
the workingmen and to tell them of
their imminent peril at the hands of
those hell-bound Williams and daylight
robbers, the capitalists. I shall be
away about SIX weeks"
"a sort of polieical revival, as it
were, Nh. Kearney?"
"Yes. I'm also going to look
around for president for 1880. I'm
going to e Ben Butler"
"Why, the general" / replied,
somewhat astonished, sis one of the
richest men in Massachusetts. You
don't want a Cr9sus for a president!
Besides, Gen. Butler wouldn't have
the office"
sob, yes, he would. And as for
his riches, that's just what L want-a
candidate with coin. 1t will be nee
essary TO wipe out the two old parties
now buying and selling each other,
and ~plundering the nation in the in
term. 1T viii take money to pay
campaign expenSes.'
"But why do you choose Butler?
He is not popular with the laboring
classes"
"We a make him popular. He
has been retained to defend a pair of
Molly Maguires in Pennsylyania-hc
will carry that state. Massachusett s
will go for him to man. He is suIe
of nearly all the Northern states, and
j guarantee now to give him all the
votes west of the Rocky Mountains"
Twill he accept"
"Of course he will. Hasn't he
been bidding for it all through the
last session of congress! And isn't
he bringing the blush to the cheek of
every member of the Potter commit
tee, Democrat. and Republican alike!
He is blank shrewd. | can put him
in the White House without any
trouble"
"Will it be Butler and KearncyY'
"No, Sir; general of the army is
good enough for me. The Sher-
mans must go. Well have Bristow
for secretary of the treasury. Alexan-
der ii. Stevens for she state depart
ment, keep Schurz where he is. aud
make other necessary changes"
''Who will be vice-president any
wayI"
swell, the Pacific coast must fur.
nish him. Newton Booth is a good
man, bnt he is too lazy. w want III
industrious man in every Office"
"What will you do with Gen.
Grsnt, who returns in the spring!
You must look out for him, you
know"
swell send him as consul to a
warm climatc-Cubs, for i~nstance
where cigars are chesp I'D plenty"
Gen. Keary showing "a f~acticious
disposition, L concluded 10 change
the subject. "Who pays the expen-
ses of your trip, general" 1 asked.
'tIt is reported that the Central Pa
cilic has furnished you with u free
pass. Besides, you have been seen
in company with Il secret agent OF
that C Is there anything in

AT this point Kearncy let off o
string of oaths that would do credit
TO q PHI ate. When he had cooled
a little he replied: The working
men have subscribed money for my
expenses TO Chicago. When l reach

'Wili you pay your respects to the
distinguished gentlemen OF Gramercy

to him that he is "A fraud also. s. j.
Tilden did not become president be-
cause the fraudulent designs OF his
