The Woods About Washington
Full Of Disappointed Pap
Suckers.

Washington Special to the courier-JournaLl
The woods are full Of Southern Re-
publicans; they are under every bush
aud swarm in every hotel lobby they
have never been one-third so plentiful
since the days of Grant, and what is
moro, you could hardly find in a trot
around the world a more disappointed
set OF people. They came here with
the full expectation that just as soon
as things underIAuthur got into good
working order there would BET return
to the days of the good pickings which
they enjoyed under Grant they did
not realize the fact that things have
changed, politically and otherwise, so
that no President, however Stalwart,
could afford to step back and talk of
even that good old day" as a COM
ponent part Of his administration.
But by this time they fully realize
that their hopes are vain. They see
no chance for much Of anything, and
are beginning to make inquiries as to
the condition of walking, al thoughts
Of home steal over their minds. They
are as a rule Of the class Of hangers
on aud pap-suckers. They are sorely
disappointed that there is no sign,
however slight, OF a return to the
Grant era. A good sprinkling Of
them, especially those from Tennes-
see, came here with an idea of getting
something under Doorkeeper Brown
low, but the big majority came to
play for something big.
