Another visiting statesman has been before
the feople and has been ordered out Of public
life, This is Charles Foster, whose political
corpse was quietly laid away in the Eighth
District of Ohio on Tuesday last. The best
of it is that Foster has no hope of compensa-
ton from Hayes, He abused the President to
make votes with the people, and now there is
no longer an opening for him. The country
will survive the loss of Fosters services.
