Tn. Every Evening" in It's despera-
ton at beholdipg the waning hopes OF
the Democracy, in the next Presiden-
ial contest, has unoensciously become
. violent Grant organ, and 1t vainly
imagines in its mad rawlings that with
its $500 or 5000 Of . circulation, 1t can
turn back the tidal wave that is bear
ing General Grant for the third time
into the Preside atial chair. Losing all
sense OF self respect tho editor OF that
paper fcolishly ventures out Of the lit
tie tiny glass. house in which he is en-
trepched and has commenced to throw
stones at the General by calling him,
|'ths boon companion ofdrunkards, the
consorter with jockies, and the uphol-
der and friend Of thieves" This ls
language which cannst fail 70 mako
raore friends for General Grant, and II
the same kind Of electionsering tactics
arc to be carried out, the "kvery Nv
snilg" will be enc Of the strongest Grant
organs known SO far A. making votes
for him are concerned. In this viclnl-
ty the every Evening" and its editor
are both 80 we'll known, that the insaIe
r.vings of the latter occasion no sur
prise, especially if they happen to
burst forth like the smothered fires OF
q burning volcano, about the time the
moon is full. In such lunatic periods
the rawlings of this literary prodigy are
terrible, especially il some excitable
subject happens t. strike the already
severely exercised mind about the same
time. Both together are too much a,
once, and hence the frothy ebulitions
of wrath that Kisses forth from the
safety valve. 1t is fortunate that thi:
muttering boiler has safety valve, fol
if it had not, the consequences would
be fearful, in case Of an explosion no
SO much from the loss Of life and limb
as from the noxious effects Of the deadl.
miasmatic influences that would b
particularly severe upon the morals
the community.
However We do not wonder atthe un
controllable rage Of our contemporary
when it is known that he in the frs
place prostituted everything that wa
manly and noble in his nature (if ther
was anything)to follow after the falls
gods Of Democracy and train in til
camp.Gf the enemies whom he had be
fore denounced as traitors to thei
country and ought 10 be rewarde
with Lelupen cord. Bayard was tn
bright star in the zenith of the futur,
and in his glittering train would thi
new convert walk, with the expectatio
of being rewarded in the Sweet b
and by" which t. him is gradual
fading away and becoming less dstin'
at every move u Jon the political ches
board. Itis OF strange that as he SEE
the brightest visions Of foreign mi
sions ard cohsuls gradually fade ava
in the distance, that lie should give a
expiring kick at the coming maj
Looking Through his own distorted vi
ion he sees but himself reflected whe
he calls General Grant the boon con
panion Of drunhards, and when /
draws the imaginary picture Of. .Gsuer
Grant consorting with jeckies and u
holding thieves, lhs paints it with h
own OK perience. The editor of Il
"Every Evening" finding fault wit
General Grant on the tramped u
charge Of being i'll company with som
body that was drunk! Tbs Lord sa,
him. General Grant from present a.
pearanoes will be the next resident
the United states, but ~ do hope OF
uptown neighbor with his wonderf
propensity to change for the strol
side will lie down whete hs has MAJ
his bed. The Republican party d
without him in its weakness, it DO
not want him now in its grown
strength.
