TRIUAPH OF FRAUD,-The great polit-
ical fraud Of the age has triumphed. Reu.
ben Z. Fenton has been nominated by the
Republican members OF the Legislature
Of this State for United States SenatoH
This disgraceful result was produced by
men who had full knoyledge of the true
character Of the man and Ms seandal0us
history Of his administration. 1t is a sad
commentary on the condition u public
sentiment and public rirtue. That a man
phose character is black witi ricss that
make him loathso,as, who is without a
merit or a virtue that should entiue him
to the eminent position occupied and
aspired to By the ablest statesmen of the
country, achieves such triumph, is sor.
~ indication of the demoralized state Of
political society 1t is history again re-
peating itself, that in the delirium Of ia
naticism and venality. bad men rise to the
surface. In the face of the charges pub.
licly made against Fenton's administra,
ton, and detiantly invited into court to
afford an opportunity to prove them, this
man selected to be the representative OF
this great State for the next six years, to
be the peer of Fessenden, Trumbull sum
ner, Sherman, Conkling, Wilson, Morton,
ond other statesmen eminent for ability
and integrity. Look at the history of
this man, who is to be the associate Of
these gentlemen Starting out in life with
the most shameful irregularities, suspect.
ed of arson and charged with thef-the
record of his crime will be found on the
docket Of the Albany police court Of Feb
ruary 3, 1888.
We pass over these youthful indiscre-
tons and remind the reader that "as the
twig is bent the tree is Inclined md
" what is bred in the flesh cannot be taken
out of the bone" He becomes a member
of Congress by one of those revolutions
in politics by which designing men take
advantage and find their way to high
places. With no reputation for states
manship and less for integrity, he plays
his card with the cunning of the sharper,
and wins the prize for the nomination of
Governor at time when no prominent
man in the Republican ranks could be
found to accept the nomination. Sue
cessful before the people, and seated in
the Gubernatorial chair of the State, he
gathers about him the most renal crsw
that ever disgraced the purlieus of the
Capitol at Albany.
We have already given a brief but in
teresting history Of his administration at
the Capitol 1t is a record scandqlous
and rithom parallelin the history of the
State. We have nothing to take back
We reitsrate the charges and stand for the
proof. His friends and admirers may
call this vituperation and bilhngsgate,
We call it TRUTH, and are prepared to
prove il. ".. H.....
