An other Victory for the Adminis.
trayson,S


This is the peculiar heading under
which it is announced that SMITH, Re.
publican, has defeated ALvoRD, Repub
lican, for the Speakership Of the Ner
York House Of Representatives
Oae unacquaintei with the wiles OF
GRANT. would hardly understand h oN
the administrator could be involved in
so unimportant contest as that for the
Speakership of a Statel Legislature
But the mystery is easily explained.
GRANT has determined. for his selfish
ends, to have his tools fill sll official pls-
ces which carry political influence. He
is not content with packing federal Off
ees with his servile drudges. He has a
candidate for q. S. Senator in every
contest a candidate for Congress in
nearly every district. Still not satisfied,
he obtrudes himself into State politics,
and has his candidates for Governor and
other State officers, and is widening the
sphers OF his operations, until at the end
OF another four years unchecked he will
probably be debating county aud town
ship officers a''s1.s
Every Republican Conventions con-
test between GRANTS candidate and the
undisciplined op. .osition. With swarm
OF GRANTS tools to browbeat and bribe
in behalf Of his pet, the result is gene
rally like this in New York: Another
victory for the administration"
Tbs long and the short Of it is, that
Grant has concluded to take charge of
all the offices,as we'll those filed by cleo
don as those & led by appointment; and
his frequently recurring victories in
the departments where be has no bust
ness to meddie, show pretty plainly that
heand his tools are too strong fer tie
balance Of the party. 80 {.
i"Another victory for the administra-
ton means that GRANT is virtually fill
ing by appointmenty offices that have
heretofore been filed by the free vote of
the people. -,
