Andersons lies coming home to rOost in bat
taliOns.
Something desperate must be the matter when
Proctor Knott Is wrenched by streak Of sense.
voorhees, has erupted in fresh attack upon
resumption. 1t will be brief and harmless demon
stTatiOn.
Mr. Randall is likely to experience sudden re-
lapse from Free Trade to Protection He looks upon
Mr.. Wood as a gay deceiver
David Dudley Fields hand hasn't appeared in the
Potter investigation yet hut his boomerang genius
sticks all the Anderson series Of perJuTes.
General Butler adds to the universal uneasiness
concerning him by saying of report thar be is
working for the impeachment of the President; =" l
am not working up the impeachment OF anybody
Men impeach themselves"
Mr. Potter's investigators shOuld review the
career Of Glover thOughtfully, and then take
to their heels. They have begun to pull IN Demo
Gratis with alarming regularity, and the fishing
isn't fairly under way either.
Somebody credits Speaker Randall with a pre-
diction that General Grant will be the Republican
candidate for President in 1880. That is Brother
OrviPs opinion TOO. Ii is also the opinion Of Mr..
Henry WattersOn, and dismal forebOdlng of such
a revival dsturbs the pbilosophc mind OF Alr.
MuIat Halstead.
Some of the hot-headed Bourbons in Georgia are
talking about running an opposition candidate to
Alex Stephens in the next Congressional election.
Mr. Stephens had no opponent at the last election,
and would have had none in the next had he not
made such bold stand against his party. AS il Is,
he may or may not be confronted by rabid Bour-
bon next time but he is pretty sure OF an easy re-
election either way. There ls no man IN the South
who has a tirner hold upon the hearts OF MS
people.
That sprightly offspring of a stuffed ballOt-box,
Banning of Ohio, is walking about Washington,
wagging his head solemny over Anderson's COM
pation of forgerles and peridries, and romarking;
:" Ii looks bad. Gentlemen from whom we expected
better things are seriously involved" The reporter
of The POST who extracted this opinion does not say
how the great man consoed himself for this shock
10 his confidence, but il is reasonable TO suppose
that be felt thankful that he had never been man
of whom anybody could ''expect better things"
The names of some of Mr.. KEYS congratulating
correspondents are gwen by The Washington star.
and among them are ex-COngressman SlOss, of Ala
bama, and n. L. Angler, Mayor of Atlanta. The
latter saws it must be evident 10 all thinking per-
sons that the Potter resolution means mischief
and that he is an unwise and dangerous legislator
who seeks to disturb the harmony, peace and pros
peritv of this Republic He adds: " The N0rtn-
ern Democracy may think the S0nth rs easy 70 rev
