Who Are the NepOtists !?

Facts Versus Slander-Reform Libetlers
ShoOn up- What The Greeley Leaders
KnoaC About Nepotism-Let the People
Read the Truth.
From the mastery address of Senator
Conkling, delivered at the great mass
meeting OF Republicans in Cooper lnsti-
tute, New York, on Tuesday evening,
which we regret our inability to present
entire, we present the following abstract
of his scathing review of the slandering
charges of nepotism preferred by the
sorehead cabal against the President. 1t
Is statement of facts which every one
should read, and it presents as conclusive
a yindication of the President as it is
whitening exposure of the animus OF his
accusers:
SOME DISTINGUISHED NEPoTIsTs.
Mr.. Conkling next came to the charge
of appointing relatives to office, saying
that the truthful reformers themselves
will not bear examination on this point.
Mr.. Schurz pressed his brothor.in-law
upon the President and obtained for him
lucrative office, and when Mr.. Trum'
bull caused his removal upon statements
impeaching his fitness, Mr.. Schurz ragged
against the President for him.
Trumbull seems to have procured the
appointments for a brother'in'law, sons
and nsphews. and broke with the Presi-
dent, it is said, because he refused to ap-
point Trumbull's son to office.
Three brothers. in.law, nephew and
son in Office, did not satisfy Tipton's lib
eryl inclinations, but he vigorously piled

t!ciiold trying his electric battery, and
administered shock upon shock to the
helpless and bewildered Gilbert. Then
he brought out the tube of his inhaling
apparatus, and declined to allow the
wretched patient to breathe, except SO
many times minute; and finished the
work Of fortune by applying blisters
wherever he could find a spot, until
Gilbert Littlcfeld felt as if he was
fayed alive. He read aloud his m edical
books; he discussed learnedly on the
various phases Of disease, ancient and
modern, and even unpacked series of
hideous colored plates to show Mr.. Lit
tletield tho human stomach under nu-
merous abnormal circumstances.
"Bctter already, aren't you?" said
he, viewing Gilbert with an approving
glance. Il knew my system couldn't
fail. Wen have another turn with
electricity to-morrow!'
The morrow dawned-a clear July
day, the meadows sparkling with dew,
the skies blue and bright as newly
opened violet. Gilbert rose early, and
put on his working clothes.
care you going out into the hay
fields, dear?" anxiously questioned
Jessie.
"For little whilc.''
"But do you feel we'll enouyh?"
Littlefeld burst into laugh.
"You seem to think you are talking
to that hypochondriac, old Pickle
thorpe" said he. "Jessie, I do be-
licve I might possibly have grown to be
like him in time, if
And there Mr.. Littlciell broke
off.
He spent that morning in the hay
field; the whole of the next day; and
Mr.. Pccklethorpe languished in vain
for subject whereon to experimental
ize and harangue.
"Jessie," whispered Miss Maury,
with roguish twinkle in her eyes, Il
think Mr.. Pecklethorpc has cured Gil
bert-though not exactly by electric
ity."
By example, rather" said Jessie
quietly.
She was right. Mr.. Pecklethorpe
went away with the autumn frosts; bag
and baggage; but he left behind him a
different man than he had found in the
person of his host. Gilbert Littlefield
had come to his senses, and gentle little
uncomplaining Jessie was happy wife
again.

Dead Head dB.

It is common for a certain class Of
people to look upon newspaper editors
as ''dead hcads'par excellence. But the
truth is, there is no class Of people SO
remorselessly and continuously filched
from and imposed upon by dead-head-
ism in myriad shapes, as the very news
paper editors themselves. We will
give an instance Or two by way of illus
tration:
There is the man who has patented a
new Sort Of thingumbob for 'regulating
the heat of Stoves He comes to us
with specimen of his thingumbob, and
tells us that it is the greatest blessing
ever invented; will save lots of money
for poor people; only let it get into gen.
eral use, and the community will rise
up and call him blessed. He wants us
to publish his invention through our
columns for nothing; he posters us with
it, till we are strongly tempted to rise
up and call him the reverse of blessed,
and show him the door. However, we
don't; we are too good natured and too
overwhelmingly polite. We don't even
tell him he is dead-head.
There are the associations that get
up schemes for benevolent purposes.
Of course the editor must do their ad-
vcrtising for nothing; cit won't cost him
anything to give them a free notice.
Perhaps he obliges them and perhaps
he shows them his advertising rates.
Some of them, no doubt, are very excel
lent people, and really believe them
selves in the right. Whatever else
they are, however, they are dead
heads.
There are the temperance societies
and missionary associations, and moral
reform agencies, and association for the
furnishing of the Hotentots with flannel
drawers and cod-liyer oil. "Can you
refuse to put in our notices of meetings,
and so on, and have the hardihood te
ask us for money when the poor Hot.
tentots are perishing with cold?' Certain.
ly not, dear dead-heads. Fetch or
your notices, We will print them, pro.
vided they are not too long; but re-
member you are dead-heads.
