The Great Imposture

The idea now attempted to be palm
ed upon the country that General
Grant is an advocate of civil reform,
is the most absurd of all the absurdi-
tics connected with him and his con-
duct.
But the Republicans are driven to
TO the last ditch, and wallowing in
the n:re of corruption, they raise the
cry of their pursuers, and call out as
Justify as honest men, to ''stop the
thief" They advise Grant to do the
same.
IF Grant was, or ever wished to be,
or had the vaguest idea of being a
civil reformer, he would have been its
practical advocate and greatest cham
pion, because he is the source of power,
and master of the appointments. But
he never knew OF such a thing rs re-
form, either of public matters or
private, personal affairs.
"When regues fall out honest men
come by their rights" is remarkably
wise old saying; and now that Senator
Trumbull, and Sumner, and Henry
Wilson, alias the Rock of Ages, and
schurz, and above all, Fenton, ex-
Governor of the State Of New York,
have lnrned their attention TO rivalry
of Grant for The next Presidential
nomination, and have moved a resolH-
tIoa of enquiry, which is q direct

The old adage, "when thieves fall
oat by the way, honest men get their
dues" often proves true. We are
frequentlyamnsed of late, at the hear
~ confessions of a few honest Repub-
lican leaders concerning the internal
condition of that party. In a discns.
sion in the United States Senate over
the appointment of a committee to
investigate the alleged frauds and
nsurpations of the party in power,
Mr.. Upton, a former Ohio boy, and
doubtless an honest man, said;
II believe the Republicans party is
worthy yet to be redeemed from the
curse that rests upon it TO day on ac-
count of the Administration and the
corruption and downright plundering

Mr.. Trumbull said he believed thai
great abuses did exist under this adj
Observation-Disclosures that had existed
under all administrations, but he be
lieved that thegreat increase in the
amount of patronage had naturally
caused
AN INCREASE IN ABUSE ALSO.
He had not said, however, that more
corruption existed under this than un-
der previous administrations but
that be wished this administration tc
be better than all its predecessors and
the Republican party to be purert than
others.
Mr.. Morton-I am glad to hear the
Senator declare his devotion to the
Republican party, but 1 did under
stand the spirit of his speeches to be
different However 1 accept his state
ment of his position Now as to this
question of reform there seems to he
a disposition on the part Ct some peo-
pie in this country to become profess
sional
REFoRMERs PAR EXCELLENCE.
They seem to desire to monopolize
that business and set themselves up Us
the only men who hate corruption.
Now, l desire to say to those gentle
men,. whoever they may be, that for
one I shall not allow them to monopo,
LIE that business. / claim to be as
good a reformer as any of them, al
though ! don't make such high pre-
tentions.
Mr.. Trumbull said that Mr.. Morton
was extremely kind to accept his state
ment, but he declined TO answer him
mfr. Morton) "for his Republican,
ism," audsdenied his right to call him
to account. That Senator (Mr. Nor
toni claimed to be a reformer, but he
had a great way of showing it. Not
long ago in a speech at st. Louis he
had eulogized the civil service as il
stands at present.
MIR. Morton remarked hat in that
speech he had said of the civil service
that while there were many reforms
and improvements which could be
made in it. and which the Republican
party would make, he did believe that
on the whole we had the best civil ser
vice in the world, and he did say the
same now
Mr. Trumbul1-Well, if there is
anywhere in the world a worse civil
service than that of the United States,
l pray God to deliver that people
from it. [Laaghterl I feel less dispos-
ed than ever to submit my Repub-
licanism to the test of the Senator
from Indiana, mir. Morton after his
declaration that we have the best civil
service in the world.
My Republicaaism is not partisan
/ care nothing for it, except as a party
of great principles. and if it ever comes
to be used rs a cover for frauds and
inquities the honest people of the
eoentry WIFI %overwhelm us, as they
ought to.
