SENATOR STEWART, the author Of tho
Stewart congressional bill, which tho DEM
ocrsts were willing to take, now announces
that he IL also the author of the present
ultimatum." Tho brazen inconsistency
of tho senator from Franklin is almost
without historic parallel.
"THE Republicans arc bound to carry
Kentucky at no distant day." asserts the
Philadelphia North american. This Is
about as forlorn an idea as could be enter
tanned these modern times, and as Wis
ionary as the belief of tho fisherman Of
Lough Neigh, who pretend to see the
towers of buried cities beneath the bright
waters.
SENATOR STEWART, while carried away
by his mind in a fine frenzy rolling,

exquisite sketch did not allow himself to
be transported altogether by the fine
vision, remembering enough Of the world
to observe that the president rode with
the driver during the first stage of the 81
miles," This indeed was an hopor-to the
president, which should now and then be
conferred upon him by oondescendinR
drivers. The presidential picnic is Ger.
tainly SUCCESS, and the hilarious denizeni
of the West are to be congratulated as
the furnishers of ths entertainment whic b
is delighting the executive soul.
