ARIsTooRAoY AND DEMOCRACY.
BIOnted, Fastidious DorR and BScls-
less son OF n Cabinet Minister.

Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press thus writes al was think
ing the other evening that the eristocracy
of this city had penetrated to most
wonderful depth and had exercised
most far-reachiug influence A vcracous per-
son had Just been telling me Of dog, attached
in some capacity to restaurant renowned
throughoutthe country This dog, II seems, will not
cat steak without trufies nor fried chicken, nor
anything that has not been duly and fitly pre-
pared by French cook. He turns up his nose OF
cold potatoes and corned beef and the odor OF
cabbage almost makes him faint. The wonderful
animal Is a verlsaoie gourmet-he is more, he is
gourmand for he not only drinks strong drink,
but sometimes drinks to excess and wakes I'm the
morning with headache and calls on his friend
at the bar for what our English cousins call a
"pck-me-up" Such q high liver has this dog
been In his day that he is troubled with the gout,
and, when suffering from that arisocmtic disease,
his foot Is lame and his ears swell Zip. believe
this story, for have seen the dog and he has the
appearance OF being shabby aristocrat. Besides,
live here, nnd like to think that even the dogs
of the restaurants have fine tastes But regret
to say that my pride has been somewhat broken
by another incident. Only last evening saw
n son of q Cabinet officer playing an the street
with a half score of the raggedest and,
presume, for the color is one that does not
show dirt-the dirtcst little blacks you could hnd
In Washington. IL Nwas-for venture to be proud
ofeveryting that happens hcre-a sign of pure and
healthy democracy. The son Of the Cabinet of
ilcer who chased the little darkes, and tore their
apologies for shirts. and rubbed their woody heads
together, will be great statesman one of these
days. It Is by such concessions to the popular
feeling that oar truly great men attain their
proppr recOp milton D."

But putting this a3idc-the Virginia

cessfully for the Coalition. The Republican party
outside Virginia IL really unit in its favor. The
party in Virginia is nearly solid, and will soon be
quite so. The prospects that the Coalition win
carry the Old Dominion by fifteen thousand ma
jority. We urge Republicans everywhere to tie
good work of breaking down and destroying Bour-
bonism. Whose does not is the enemy of our
