Will You Walk Into My Parlor 2

Nothing can exceed the cordiality with
which the Democrats at Washington in
vite President Hayes to renew his disa-
greement with the majority 81 the Sen
ate. They have watched the course OF
the Administration with the profoundest
interest They do not believe in Civil
Service Reform Themselves; they do not
pretend to believe ih il; but they have a
lively concern in the peculiar expert
ments of the President. and they hope
that he will continue them till the end
Of his term. They are disgusted at the
bare mention OF parley or accommoda-
ton. They say that the man who butts
at stone wall and gets discouraged at
the FIRST trial is a mean spirited creature
Mr. Hayes ought to fight the Republican
Senators without intermission. till Dem-
ocratic President can get in, settle every
thing 10 the satisfaction of his party, and
put an end to the disturbance Such po.
liteness in the support of polite I ad.
versary is most beautiful TO behpld.
We are now informed that "a promi-
"nent Democratic Senator expresses the
"opinion that Messrs. Roosevelt and
prince can be confirmed if the Presi
dent will return their names TO the
Senate There il not the least doubt
that all the prominent Democratic Sena-
tors would be glad to have the President
test the correctness Of this gentlemen
opinion If the combinations failed, the
consequences could not but be satisfacto-
ry to the opposition, and if they were car
ried, the Democrats would have still bet
ter reason to be pleased or course, there
is no way of obtaining the removal of
Messrs. Arthur and Cornell except by an
alliance between the President and the
Democratic Senator'S against large ma
jority OF the Republicans, and the De-
mocracy can have no possible motive for
entering into such combination except
to detach Mr.. Hayes from his true friends
and supporters, and leave him utterly
helpless when the crisis of the contest
comes between the enemies and the de-
tenders Of the National honor, prosperity
and peace.
Mr.. Hayes has been deceived before
now by the calculated courtesies of a
party which fatters him for what it hopes
to get, but is all the while plotting his
ruin. Democrats have tempted him with
promises OF Wing revivals and political
denominations. and the decay OF B6ur
bonism, and the disappearance Of the
White League, aud the efIacement Of the
color line They have led him to believe
that he would carry on a Republican ad
ministration without the help Of the Re
publican party, and separate himself from
those who elected him without playing
into the hands OF his adversaries What

ing civil speeches TO the President, but
treating his policy with a cool and inso

nice though rather notional gentleman
with whose vagaries it is not worth Will,

certainly need not expect to hear it from
