GrOsvenOr,s Trlclery and Record.

His obscure straddleship the slvery:
whiskered sage of Athens, the one-third OF
that little thing the committee on rules has
been reduced to, was we'll characterized by
delegate Smith of Arizona when he said that
Grosvenor preserves his consistency by
being always wrong and maintains even
ness Of temper by being always mad
The Sage" is in such political straits that
he is compelled to eulogize himself ever
and anon in the Washington papers. In
the Posi- of Thursday he tries to tell how
everything is lovely for him in the Eleventh
Ohio district, and how the Fairfield county
convention called him that gallant leader,
profound statesman and brilliant orator."
This language needs an Interpretation
more profound than the sage's statesman
ship. He was never gallant except in jaw
storming events, and his leadership has
been uniformly leading to the rear Of late
His is the type of gallantry that is ad-
mirably adapted to lead in a skedaddle
To call his coarse. transparent buuco
tricks, and his discordaut wind -jamming
profound craftsmanship, and brilliant ora
tory, is to do violence to our mother tongue
when such clap trap is supposed to come
from the place that produced a Ewing,
Sherman and Stanberry.
The truth is that GrosvenOr hurried up
his Congressional convention, holding il
last March, with a view to chsel Fairfield
county out of any voice in selecting a can
didate, aud il is not to be supposed that the
people of Fairfield county, noted for their
intelligence are such fools as not to see and
resent this bold and impudent attempt on
the part Of the ancient straddler to trick
them out of their rights.
Grosvenor's plan was to have the Fair
field county delegates meet and like wooden
automatons simply ratify the work of his
snap-judgment convention, held before the
redistricting, which he at the time knew
was inevitable
Fairfield refuses to do this and demands
a new convention, and the Aashy set of
whiskers is compelled to comply very much
against his will.
1t is not to be supposed that Fairfield is
doing this for fun or simply to go through
the barren formality Of confirming Grosve-
nor's nomination,
They will not accept the mouthpiece,
prophet and calculator as a candidate unless
he can muster a sufficient number of heuch-
men to cram the bitter dose down their
throats, and if such action is taken they
will square accounts with him at the polls
in November.
He recently on the floor of the House,
opposed the admission of Oklahoma, New
Mexico and Arizona openly and confess
edly on the ground that they would prob
ably send Democratic delegations to Con-
gress. AT the same time he defended the
admission of the pocket borough, Nevada
on the ground that it sent Republican dele.
cation to Congress.
1t is about time that man who stands up
on the floor of Congress and shamelessly
proclaims himself to be an ordinary hack
politician should be unceremoniously rele-
gated to private life.
Let the sage swing the censor and burn
some more incense in front Of himself
Let him kowtow to himself and promulgate
another eulogy and we shall try to truly in
terpret it.
