or rather what might be called his chronic
neutrality Of temperament, has had another
Illustration since the elections. After he had
so far yielded to the pressure Of Hale Cor

and desultory initiation Of the outrage cam
paigns that Grant used to wage with so much

and that henGeforth they we're 10 have every.

ness OF the stalWart Radicals, as o rule Is to
take things for granted somewhat too freely,
The history of the last dozen years cnnelu~
slVely demonstrates that the average stall
Wart Radical will take things when

grant; it Is irnrnaterial to him whether the
thing to be taken Is oonsrete valuable or an
abstract assumption, whether it belongs Il,

| Or not, the propensity Of the stalwa rt Radical

dollar bribe to the Presidency

Attorney General TO resurrect Landanlat

OF starvation for tho ell. They talked with
Hayes about the necessity Of changing his
