THE BEGINNING OF rae END.

: Toa rejecting mind Il must have been
evident that the new party of Know. Moth
ings would begin its end just as soon as i,
had q chance TO exhibit its weakness and
dupIiciiy. While il vas secretly plotting for
power IL could be all things 10 all men, and
dared promise whatever was asked. But

bankrupt early in The morning. One thou

Nothing caucus. The demagogues stopped
TO conquer BY a desscra,ion of religion to the
service OF selfshness and deceit and The

of Tiffany as UGited States Senator. He was
cuped 10 stump the State 10 his destruction.
Bot the great appeal was 10 The honest
sentiment of the people that there were evils
and abuses in the " old parties" The new
one was to be The only Immaculate one, and
was to be free from all the ~fraillies Of human
nature. It was 10 haze no "old politicians"
ard no "pariy hacks" And yet when this
new party comes TO act, both al home and
abroad we see il fall into the hands of the
"parly hacks" who have been cast off by
the old orgaDizations-men whose creed only
declares that politics is a trade and political
principles are merchandise. Where, for in
stance, will you find more notorious "parly
hacks" or more damaged political chsrac-
tiers than in Seward and Cameron ? Polloek's
character was political altogether, and Con-

Some time ago the honest portion of The

firm and independent character; and we
think the information is correct, for-he got

an intimation that if they would behave

The beginning Of the end has come for

its promises are faithless and it's professions
hypocritical. And while other parties are

one exhibits nothing else. While men Of
