THE EMBLEMATIC HIPPOPOTAMU US.

1t has come TO be generally understood that
no political party is fully equipped for the
business OF carrying on campaigns unless 1t
has some striking and significant emblem ;
usually a representative Of the animal king
dom. The party, for instance, that owns this
town and rules the State has for its emblem
tho slcclcSt glOssiest, SmOothest specimen of
the animal creation wiry and flexible beast
withal, that can sheathe its claws stretch it
self and purr, and be playful with its own kind
and lap its drink with the lazy grace of an
Alderman at the Hoffman House bar, and upon
occasion look pretty as a picture. Tammany
would not be Tammany without its Tiger
1t is its fit and proper emblem. The Repub
lcan party has never formally adopted an en-
blem, but the Elephant has been suggested in
some quarters as appropriate for that purpose,
probably because of his strength and dOcllity
his great sagacity and the useful service of
which he is capable. He is also long Lived and
not afraid Of the Tiger The emblem of the
Mugwump party has not yet been selected for
the reason that that organization has never
been in business on its own hook but has
figured heretofore simply as an adjunct to the
greater organization whose emblem is the
smooth and velvety Tiger. When ii does CON-
pete its equipment and enter the lists, as it
doubtless will soon after Mr.. Cleveland's Adj
ministration gets under way, it will naturally
adopt as its emblem. and the sign under which
it will conquer. the steadfast and immovable
Mule
There remains the Alliance or POpulist party
This organization, though it has had cOnven-
tons and adopted platforms and nominated
tickets Of its own and elected members of
Congress and Senators, and at last accounts
had gone into camp in the Kansas State House
at Topeka. has not yet adopted its emblem.
1t is high time that it did in order to make
its equipment complete. The difficulty that

be grand restaurant on the second floor When
with the wild rattle of the trunk. the harsh
creaking of the eyes, the fierce beating OIL 'iic

the roar of a steam calope big enough Tor
20O-foot elephant, it will be very pleas
ant to sit down in this restaurant for quiet
little supper, after the theatre, with lew
friends, or, perhaps, with ones fiancee.
This Chicago elephant, as we have intimated
is novel and interesting animal. but we cannot
understand why the builders should stop where
they propose to. We want to see the beast walk
And we submit that an animal, living or archi-
tectural, that can swing It's ears. switch Its
tail and coil its trunk, can walk or, at least, can
be made to walk We don't ask that it run, or
that it get up on its hind feet and dance, or
anything of that kind but we do insist on
a quiet, dgnifed walk. and we believe that
twice the admission fee now contemplated would
then be willingly paid. A steam man
70 feet high ought also to be constructed to
walk along with a hook and direct the ele-
plant They could tramp about through the
residence portion of the town, stepping over the
houses and picking up passengers and patrons
for the restaurant The beast of course could
he made to keep up constant roaring and
furious Shaping about Of it's ears, WHILE we
doubt not with the proper machinery, that the
man could be caused to utter loud steam re-
marks which could be heard in Milwaukee,
indianapolis and other neighboring cities All
of this would be not only highly entertaining
fo.Sthe passengers inside of the elephant but
wOdId also afford pleasing spectacle for other
people. We fancy, too, that it, when walking
about. the elephant and keeper should occa-
sicnaly come suddenly upon an mpenitent sim
ner in the very act of shining, who had never
heard of them, they might cut no incon-
siderable figure as means of grace.

The striking interview with a prominent
Anti Snapper published in yesterdays TRIBUNE
attracted much attention in Washington es-
pecially on account of its statement OF Mr.
Clevelands feelings toward Speaker Crisp.
Mr.. Crisp himself refused to discuss the inter
view. but his friends talked freely, and in
dienantly secuted the idea that he would be
willing 10 make bargain regarding committee
.nnointments in order to ward OIL opposition
n his reelection. The Speakers supporters
feel in fact, that there is no doubt OF his
success in the next House; but those Repre-
sentatives who are in favor of anybody to beat
crisp are naturally much elated by the Anti
snappers vigorous statement of the case.
