An InpIeaSant Outlook for the PresideHG
Elect.

Every body is insisting that General
Garfield shall have the party harmo-
nized by sundown on the 4th Of March.
This, by common consent, must be done
at the hour indicated, at the opening OF
his administration, or it will be prompt
ly adjudged one of the greatest and
most complete failures Of modern times.
There must be harmony to one and all,
even If every leader In the party Is
thrown into a whitc heat of rage at the
announcement Of the new cabinet.
| Here are some Of the elements of which
our hsnored President-elect is expected
to erect beautiful palace of brotherly
love:
!. Gen. Grant, for reasons good and
sufficient TO him and TO his friends, will
neither receive Dir. Blaine when he
sends in his card, nor speak TO him IN
public. And for the future the Gen
sr. declares he vii u dfs Hsyf as de hfhasbdhndent
in the matter as Cen Grant, and says
be is not so hard pushed 10 find people
to talk to as to endaBger his remem-
branee of his mother tongue.
8. Mr.. Blaine, in turn, won't speak
to Mr.. Conkling says he has long had
his opinion of him, has not changed it,
and does not expect or desire to change
it.
4. Mr.. Conkling won't speak to John
Sherman or speak of him without a
sneering word and that striking, sar-
donic and baleful CLEAN upon his feat
, ures which gives such emphasis to his
r words.
). Mr.. Conkling would not speak to
Mr. Blaine, even if the latter should
: forget himself and say, "GsOd evening,
Senator" before he thought of the ter
rible snubbing that would surely follow.
6. AIR. Conkling is unnaturAlly frigid
and silent in the presence of Ar. Sher-
: man. He thinks that their former re-
:, lations in the Senate ought to have IN
: suIed his unrestricted rule In all INST
tiers pertaining to the New York Gus
tom house.
o Now, if Gen. Garfield cannot put
= these various gentlemen or their recog
1t nized representatives into his cabinet
,f and make happy family that shall
z eclipse anything in history or in Bar
d NUNS show, it will be perfectly aPPa
d rent that he has secured the Presidency
under false prstenses, and he shodld b
at once inpeached. If Blaine is made
- Secretary of State of course he will b
harmcnized, and his followers will wall
y, the streets of the capital with politica
palms in their hands, singing praises Il
Or Garfield and songs of triumph owe
II, Conkling and Grant And then TIN
g harmony that would attend application
to the Secretary of State from Maine
,ir for ministries and consulates for New
an York 1t takes patriots breath ava.
e to think of the peace and JOY whicl
". would attend the New York scrambl
sc for sufficient share of their spoils.
de If Grant should be offered and aC
xt cept the State department, it woul
only change the boot to the other lee
where the corns are equally numerou
lot and painful. Just think of tn
ny dslirium of delight which would the
II attend Mr.. Blaine to the State depart
"a. ment if he continued as careful and IL
dustrious as he has ever been in nursin
DIV the patronage due to the State
