A Prospective Democratic Steal.

Mr. Watterson. the editor Of the Louisville
Courier-Journal, is in Washington with his
''star-eyed goddess of REFORM" and is not
pleased with the outlook, as the following
shows:
An earnest and excited free trader said to
me last night: Il tell you, sir, we are sold
out. Tilden's letter to Carlisle discIoses the
basis of the deal The coast defences scheme
is a job, mercenary and political. 1t medi-
tates the distribution of millions of money
among Tilden's coterie of ron-clad statesmen
and the ultimate elevation of Randall to the
Presidency. Manning is in both the money
making and political branches of the job up to
his eyes. Smith Weed, Bill Scott and Barnum
are its godfathers. Lamont represents the
gang at the White House. The failure of the
President to speak out like a man about the
tariff means that the whole power of the Adj
ministration will be secretly thrown against
any Congressional action, thus enabling Ran
dali to gain an easy victory over Morrison, and
so sending Carlisle to the bone-yard | tell you,
sir, we are sold out, and you will live to see it,"
The gentleman who trolled off this wild rig

ure is not strange to say, a malignant or Wis
ionary, but man high in the confidence and
councils Of his party.
