A CITIZENS OPINION.

To the Editor of the Daily Eagle.
After being voter for over forty years
and passing or living through many
changes of politics. my observation has
been that when mali gets to thinking that
his individual popularity viii be sufficient
for his success over all opposition. he be-
comes unfit for any Office in the gift of the
people. | can call to mind now two or
three such, who at one time stood at the
head Of our best men in the community,
that to-day hold no position however small.
and those who have died disgraced and in
poverty. II does seem as though there was
a fatality following such men. The above
is called forth after viewing the Click and
Blair farces the other day to see that silly,
vacant smile put on 10y William Campbell
and f.. Dorsey. | say put on, Tor il looked
SO meaningless. But they are both in their
proper places, and my only regret is that
the Republican party did not send
them to the Democratic party
before. Now that they are of of our hands
we are we'll rid of them. think they will
make real good Democrats, Judging from
my idea of the Democratic party. Any Re-
publican who will vote for either of them
next Tuesday, if he has any love of his
country. cannot help hut feel rs though he
had attended skunk's funeral, and had
with Campbell kissed the corpse. The
stink will not wear off. and the sensation will
stay with him.
To be serious. | regard Ed Dorsey as one
of the most ungratoful of men outside of the
southern confedcracy.

After very short and commensurately
unfortunate career, the steamer Hero lies
in the Delaware river tied TO post at
Port Psnn's picturesque landing, deserted
and funeral like. The steamer was built
ct ex-Commander Gorringe's yard on the
Delaware, near Philadelphia, for South
American trade, and In an effort to deliver
her to her owners, the tub nearly went to
the bottom In the gulf stream. Her crew
deserted her In fear. She was libeled
for their wages and condemned as unit
for sea or anything else which required
floating on the wAter's surface. GorrinRe,
