WYE LEMPEREUR.-Thosc who wonder
at the growth Of sentiment at the North IN
favor Of a strong government should read
the nuitteea solid columns Of typa in the San
Francisco Post describing the Republican
simplicity of Senator Sharon's private en-
tertainment Of Ulysses |. We quote:
"Between $40, 600 and so, 900 was spent
in this entertainment. The Belmont man
SIGN, palatial az It was before, was made
more SO for the occasion. New wings were
added for wine and supper rooms Fresco
artists made pillars and c~ornices beautiful.
To perfect the ventilation Of the art gaIle-
rv fancy apertures were made in the ceiling
and throughout the several rooms, that
which was not beautiful before was made
go, and that which was beautiful was made
more SO. The wine room, which was loca-
ted in the lobby Of the bowling alley, and
embraced an apartment about 27x4O feet
size, elegantly decorated with cypress
branches and geranium leaves, with shields
and pampas plumes, was presided over by
Edwin, Fay, whose delicious punch was
unanimously praised"
Why should Sharon object to g change Of
government that would enable him to wear
the title of Duke Of Bullion, or Prince of
Silver Diggers?
