RADICAL IDEAS.
HOW THEY HAVE SQUIRREL ON HAYES
AND SHERMAN.

''what he Wanted was to Dust Them"
"What do you think now Of the develop
ments made by the Potter committee" asked
a DEMOCRAT reporter yesterday of an ex-Kel-
logg official and prominent Radical.
"Think of it," was the reply; "why you
can't go too deep to suit the Republicans Of
this State"
Reporter you think Hayes was
elected
| Radical-No; and if Packard wasn't Hayes
wasn't; but your Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives made pretty mess of it In pass
ing that resolution declaring that it did not
intend to interfere with Hayes title.
Rep-How so2
State are SO
| COMPLETELY DIsGUsTED WITH HIM
and his administration that, had not the
resolution been passed, they would have Of
fered every possible assistance to the Potter
committee ia the investigation
Rep.-As it is
Rad.-As it is, your folks have declared that
they will not, for a time at least, interfere
I With hiEn What we wanted was to GUST him
and let the man have the Presidency who Is
entitled to it.
Rep.-Who is that?
Rad-Tilden, OF course; and hadn't it been
that some Of your Eastern Democrats in Con-
gress were of the milk-and-w ater stripe, and
were afraid to say their shadow is their own,
Tilden would have been in. They, | guess
though, were controlled by
THE EASTERN CAPITALISTS.
Rep.-A1d would the Louisiana Republi-
cans have given information to the Committee
in this investigation?
Rad.-Yes, every one Of them, except the
few who have jumped into Federal Offices
and some of them would even have stood off
and helped on the quiet; though you ought
to know that, because you see none Of the Re
publicans assisting Mr.. Cox, the Republican
member of the subcommittee here except
John Ray who, / hear, is Sherman's paid
attorney.
Rep.-That's fact; there are fewer work
ers for the Republican side of the committee
than on previous occasions. What do you
think the investigation will result in?
Rad.-Why, If the committee get at the
true inwardness Of the whole thing and It is
freely ventilated, l have no doubt In the world
but that it will make the papers so tight for
STEP DOWN AND OUT
from the Cabinet.
Rep-Has he no friends here ?
Rad.-None save his own appointees, and
they wont break their necks to serve him.
Rep.-And Hayes
Rad.-Good God we never give him the
second thought, though we hope the COM
mittee will find that Sherman's course as a
visiting statesman was by and with the
, knowledge and consent Of Hayes, and that
proven, It might make such furore in the
North that Hayes himself might be requested
to resign by the people through mass meet
, ings Your committee don't want to do that,
| however; they merely want to get up big
campaign document, and In that they will
succeed.
Rep.-How does Kellogg like the investiga-
) ton?
Rad don't know, personally; though
those acquainted with him say that at the
, outset he was, as the lrishman says,
) ''furninst" Hayes, but that he has Topped
GONE TO HIS RESCUE.
: and that Of Sherman, and he is team, too, in
such matters.
, ready made him party to the fraud, and one
) Of the managers. How will he evade that2
Rad don't know. He had mighty big
J hand in it | know, but he's slippery cuss
B and will EEL" himself out in some way unless
t he hops again, and turns on the administers
? ton.
Rep.-In that event?
Rad.-In that event there would be plenty
of fire and little smoke, for he knows every
move that was made from the beginning o.
! the campaign until the day he left here fOl
. Washington and could tell more than any
: one in the business, and besides that he is the
! biggest kind OF manager.
Rep.-You don't want to bet on his occupy.
ing his present Senatorial seat to the end OF
. the term for which
f HE WAS NOT ELECTED?
i. Rad-Not much because the squealers may
: come in such crowd that good case may
: be made against him, and the Senate being
: the Judge of it's own members, he may be so
badly plastered over with dirt by this inyes'
I tigation that the Senate will seat Spotford IL
his stead.
, Rep-Has Kellogg any correspondents
{ here?
' Rad-One or two in the Custom House.
q believe he and old Wells are pretty thick since
the old man was In Washington.
Rep.-How many of the intelligent men Of
: your party think as you do about Hayes anC
= Sherman
Rad.-Every one but those who have
THE FEDERAL SUGAR TEAT
i in their mouths-even the thinking coloreC
q men have soured on Hayes. But, hold or
e your taking notes there-I see you amt going
o to publish our talk In the DEMOCRAT, are
you?
= Rep.-Most assuredly 1 am. When gel
as yourself, 1 think it my duty to give hi:
Y sentiments to the public.
Y Rad.-Well, go ahead; I amt ashamed o
what I've said, and l guess you wont mis-
n take my ideas.
8 Rep.-No guess not; but wait a minute
= Are you not disappointed ffice-seeker?
4 Rad-No, sir. have never applied to Mr.
Hayes, nor any of his Cabinet, or any one
else, for
PULL AT THAT PAP
q bottle. and never will as long as can maxi
u living otherwise.
