ofit.

IL the Democratic head sufficiently punched now
The President has Int the bulls, or rather DON
keys eye again.
Mr.. HAYES proposes to fight it out this line il it
takes all Summer.
If the Democrats dislike 10 back out let thelh
tumble Down and roll OUT.
Epitaph upon the defunct revolution: Died Oh
too few brains aud too much caucus.
Tho President has once more proved himself CO.
ordinate branch with an infiexibie spine
The most reckless Bourbon of them all is not able
to say yet that vetoes have been made cheap.
Thurman has been made a Doctor of Laws. which
may soacc bin IN his Illuminating failure AZ Doc
tor OF Politics.
Here's rank treason against Mr.. Tilden Grand
Sachem Schell condones it so far as 70 style Mr.
Hayes " President OF the United States"
Have the Democrats got tue issue where they
want it" now If So will they please drop Proctor
KNOTS address on it That will hold 1t.
Brother Blackburn, pick up that gage of Battle
which yon have flung down so numerously, tuck 1t
in your carpe-bag. aud take the first train for Ken
lucky.
The President comes up as fresh as daisy after
his fourth veto. and smiles who should say
/" If you would like some more. gentlemen, we shall
be happy 10 accommodate you"
Senator Conkling is said to have declined to make
any speeches in the Ohio campaign. as he expects
TO have all he can do in his own State Ohio must
not expect to monOpoIZe all the talent IN the party
What Will be the next Democratic move in tho
fight for stuffed ballot-box9 Mobilization works
no better than repeal under threats Of revolution
There seems 10 be nothing to do bat to back down
or run away, with odds in favor of the former.
1t is unjust to General Butler to intimate that
hostile Democratic committee in Massachusetts, may
nation for Governor. There was a hostile commit
tee last year. yet he snatched the whols party con-
yentiOn and the nomination with IL. lie viii do
the thing this year if he wishes to.
Senator Thurman remarked with much bitterness
last week that it all depended on that man in the
White House when Congress would adjourn. If
he means by that that Congress will not adjourn
till that man agrees in letting it have IT'S own
wav he must expect to stay in Washington all sun
mer. II is about time Thurman discovered that the
Presidential backbone has no hinge III IL.
Senator Williams, of Kentucky, says there is no
Tllden sentiment among the voters Of the Kentucky
Democracy. A few newspapers favor him, but no
body else does All the Congressman in the State
delegation are against him. Mr. Williams is sure
the party will not take its next Presidential candi-
date from the East. Talk like this mist amuse
Mr. Tilden, for what is the sentiment of the Ken
lucky Democracy worth, compared with afuIl barrel
and an organized still hunt
The sudden collapse Of Mr. 6. s. Cox as a rampant
rebel is one OF the most remarkable incidents of his
somewhat remark able career. Ii is only few days
since he was bowling in caucus that he never would
surrender yet he lodged the final vote the Judi
cial bill and has since declined to say what he will
do about the veto Nv opinion" he says in an
unprecedented burst of frankuess, g Is not worth
prntIug-is not worth 5 cents-curbstOne opinions
on such subjects never are" This is uncOmmOnly
true, but why should Cox " give 1t away" 50 care
iess,y
The most astounding Southern comment on the
Conkling-Lamar squabble comes from the genial
editor of The Louisville COTi@-JOWRGl Dr.
WattersOn declares that Lamar Is 4" dreamer and
a "poet ;" with a "sweeter, gentler. more womanish
nature" than any other man in America. He also
calls him Statesman and a philosopher So much
for lamar " Now who is Mr.. COnklingf" asks
the editor, and then answers his question in this
polished manner: "Mr. ConkIing is brilliant actor.
the offspring of dunghiIl, who has the cuteness
of the horse-joekey, but having the physique of
butcher and the of Oraorcal vender of wart
curesv After this the genial writer was naturally
soneNha exhausted, hut he managed TO finish his
article by calling Mr.. Conkliug poor coward
and as corrupt hound as ever sat IN Washing
ton" Ii scurrious stuff like tn had appeared IN
The Ok0IOEG States nobody would have been sur
prised, but II amazing that Mr.. Watterson should
get down 10 ii.
Tilden's still hunt moves slowly and surely on.
The two companion pieces Of information, that he
has recently made S2000,000, and that he was
never in better health are thrust upon the public
eve with neyer-tring PERSISTENCE One by one the
impecunious Southern journasare swinging around
IN his favor, and the gains he is making are so i'm
portant that the leading Southern journals which
have opposed him with the most bitterness cry out
in anguish for some way to stop him. They think
he could only be induced to talk there would be
less danger. His silence scares them worst OF all,
for they declare that when he is quietest ne Is work
ing the hardest This is undoubtedly true. These
freuuent consultations with Smith Weed show that
he il uncou monty busy at this time. lt may turn
out that he Is laOOrng earnestly with Weed for the
latter's moral good-that he is trying to make hun
promise never To deceive him In the tutnre; but
somehow a sceptical world SCOTS at such an idea.
