Journal.
P aymaster H odge .—Several Repub­
lican editors have lately discovered that
Hodge, the defaulting paymaster who
swindled the Government out of half a
million dollars, is a Democrat.
Hodge was a Democrat when Ben But­
ler was working with the Democracy.
Afterward he became a Republican, turn­
ed the vials of his pent-up wrath against
the party he had formerly worked with,
howled long and loud for loyalty, and be­
came one of the shining Republican
lights. Now that he turns up a defaulter,
and has stolen half a millions dollars and
been sentenced to prison ten years, it is
discovered that he is a Democrats! This
may account for his punishment, Repub­
licans claiming the exclusive privilege
of stealing from the Government! But,
Republican or Democrat, he was a thief,
and the editor is no better who, instead
of denouncing the crime, would charge
the perpetrator with belonging to this
party or that, thereby endeavoring to re­
lieve the man of the stigma and cast the
odium upon any party.— Pomeroy's De­
