Show KSiimbiit; luIieuIunce. New York, 8. The World says editorially: When Grant astumed tho presidency he was Lhe most popular and important personage in America. Yet ho very boou learned the utter lolly and futility of attempting to control a repnuentative government without a rcprtai'utalivc alliance. Il would have been simply absurd in any circumstances (or an obscure mau like Hay en to make fauch an attempt. It is a good deal worue than absurd for him to make it as a tolerated toler-ated occupant of the position to which the majority ot bis fellow citizens believe be-lieve he possesses no valid title, And preposterous for him to make it when the veil is so thin and transparent behind which stands bis true mover and manaeer, Sherman, The vigor and audacity which has led the attack at-tack on the new executive suLticiently proves that Sherman thoroughly understands un-derstands tho situation, and is nni in the Itiuat degrre imposed upon by the simulated independence of Hayes' attitude. |
