rmE EXAMINER ON KEARNEY.

There Is no paper on this coast that
Knows the true inwardness of Denis Kear-
pey better than the Examiner. it has
lately given him q most thorough scourg-
ing for his conduct in the Grant business.
We have not space for the whole article. but
We may furnish a few specimen bricks.
The sentiment. too, suits us. The Exami-
ner is not too severe on the sand lot agita-
tor. 1t first pokes fun at the cowardice
which sent him to 1.-THE Springs" and then
pitches into him in the subjoined sublimely
vigorous style:
Did he go to soften his dainty hands in
the refining waters of sulpburous quality;
or to lave his tender skin in the soothing
md softening baths in which fairest forms
Of beauty delight to sport? Or, was his
powerful intellect so tired from the pro-
digious brain-work he had performed in
memorizIng the stuff his prnmpters pre-
pared for him to blather out at sand-lot
meetings and about the country during
the campaign, that h. must needs give it a
rest at the Springs The s'curled darling"
whose hair is like bristles-Fhould be
particularly watchful, lest his frail condi-
ton m ght unfit him to return to his dray.
His mighty mind may be unequal to the
task of shoveling manure, if he shall not
fnl in the waters he has sought the recu-
peratiou whic, his profound deliberations
as TO lust bow he should construct the
efigy OF General Grant in order to hang
and burn it TO the best acknowledgements
require. 1t is painful to contemplate the
decay Of that powerful frame Of his. once
so robust as to q him q fleet runner
IS he was ut Santa Ana; and now SO very,
very far gone toward the lowest living level
that he can only drag it to the Palace
Hotel, and there, like a spurned beggar or
scourged mental. implore the man he threat
ened to hang and burn in efigy for only SO
much as admission to his presence, 80 that
he might then PROSTATE himself, to be
kicked. and also to lick the boot with
which the kick was administered-as Rus
sian seffs were made to PROSTATE them
selves after a severe lashing Of the terrible
knout, at the feet OF the master who had
ordered aud witnessed the punishment.
aud to kiss his boo's and thank him for his
mercy in sparing them from worse. Gen.
Grant declined even to honor him with a
kick And now, what will he say about it
tomorrow at the sand-lot?
Denis Kearney a leader OF the working
classes Great God They are mainly
Irish-the bravest fighting race in the
world the most generous to the needy /;
the most devoted to those they honor and
love 1t is wretched and malignant scan
dial on them to sav that they have for a
leader . coward, an migrate, a traitor, and
q sneaking cur, as Kearney is. They will
nobly vindicate themselves from the fcul
aspersion. They believed him honest aud
they trusted him. They Knew he was poor
and they helped him. They thought he
was brave and they rallied to him. They
long forgave his crooked WAYS. They in
dulged him even in his profanity and par
doned his blasphemy. But they have at
last discovered the utter infamy Of his ma
ture, and they will do with him as their
holy patron Saint did with the serpents
and reptiles in the beautiful Isle thew love
with such undying devotion. He is un-
worthy of them. and now they know it.
They will no longer tolerate him He
has dec-ived them. He has betrayed them.
He is . traitor to their cause. He is the
tool Of the m~onopolists h. processes to op-
pose. Unless he believed General Grant
ought to nave been hanged and burned in
eiigy, three weeks ago, he ought to have
refra'ned from his villaiEous threat. Gen
eral Grant is no better now than he was
then mo different in any way. Why, then,
did Denis Kearncy go twice. on Thursday
of this week, to the Palace Hotel, beg
ging-like a hungry hound w%hiningly begs
for q bone-to be allowed the honor Of see
ing him? He should tell the crowd at the
sand lot why he did this. Let him do SO
tomorrow. II he does not. their course
aud their duty to themselves is very clear.
Denis Kearney must go?
