Ready Relief Demanded.
Senator Van Wyck is what the girls
call just too splendid for anything. The
seat he has in the Republican coach ap-
pears to jar him. The seat he has at the
Republican table is apparently neglected
by the waiters. He fasts at the feast.
He went from New York to the bounding
West, and there he seems to have culti-
vated impetuosity. He is so mad at the
President and the Cabinet and the party
committee and everything in gen-
eral, and he scolds in such a
beautiful high C. The country will
recognize the true Reform ring in his ob-
jurgations. His oratory is that of the
postponed statesman. He wildly sounds
the alarm, and the country will soon de-
mand that the President shall cease stir-
ring him up. If there is balm in Gilead.
Senator Van Wyck will be voted a dose
of that balm. What private griefs he
has we know not. It was Sullivan in
Pennsylvania. We appeal to the Ad-
ministration to ascertain what gentlemen
want, and give it to them, else we shall
all be made deaf by their outcries.
