broached an introduction which led to o
prolonged conversation. He informed Us
that he was connected with o newspaper in |
Kansas and then we thought we had mot o
brother, sure. Newspapers being mention
ed, politics became the oll-ubsorbing theme.
We were politely informed by the gentle
man that
HE WAS DENINty-CAT,
for that is just the way ho said it. |
Lengthy discussions onsued Immediately |
We found out no is mugwump.
''You say you edit paper in Kansas"
''No, I am ossociote aud do reporting
and write notes Of travel"
"You seem from appearances to be re-
turning from a trip to the East we von-
turod
''Yes-I have-hayo been to Washington,
ond-othor cities Of the East he quickly
remembered.
GLOW docs tho machinery seem to work
about Washington" we vonturod, seeing
some hesitanoy and o Georgia twitch in
the northwest corner Of his loft eye. We
thought to break the ice, so we addod "I
suppose the new administration seems gem
orally satisfactory doesn't it ?"
"Well, no; n long ways from it. Cleve-

and here he sighed to one side, and we read
his story we'll II believe in tho Jacksoni-
an theory. I believe that to the victor
belong the spoils, and the truth come home
to him that he had been unceremoniously
snubbed by Grover, and he was indignant.

party ?"
II do, yes sir"
'Well he is ahead Of some Of us, I'll

"Then you don't think the Democratic
party has good prospects Of success in 1883,
do you ?"
mo, sir; it can't be successful if things
run on this way. The only way he can re-
deem himself and save us is to .fH all tie
offices undcr his appointment ,otH Demo-
crats That's the way to do it and the only
way he can save his mock" He WAS doubt
less speaking politically.

the President, have you ?"

and his facial expression assumed something
of an indignant and robollious character.
