CONKLING,S APOLOGY.

A less sweet-tempered speech than that of
Mr.. Conkling, which we print this morning,
we do not remember ever to have read. All
the Household Senators and newspapers of
President Grant are labOring under that un-
edifying depression of spirits which finds
utterance in abusive language, but we think
the campaign will hardly show a more vio-
lent exhibition of anger and apprehension
than this long TRADE of Mr.. COnkling. 1t
has two natural divisions; one half is filled
with lyric expressions of homage toward the
President, and the other is devoted to furious
denunciatiOns of his opponent and his critics.
Yet even in his transports of eulogy he does
not forget his anger, and mingles his pGans
to Grant with unhandsome references to the
Liberals. He calls the Liberal Republicans
"the most piebald, disreputabe collection
"to be scraped together from the cutters
"and sewers of politics." he also styles
them political lazzaroni," an expression
which lacks novelty as much as truth but
as he cherishes feeling recollection of the
castigation he received in the Senate from
Gen. Schurz, he reserves for that gentleman
the most elaborate and ingenious epithet; he
calls him "the charioteer of mud-machine."
The intention of all these witticisms is OBJ
vious; if they are not up to the requirements
of the occasion, we are sure Mr.. Conkling
did the best he could.
But our Senior Senator appears to the high
est advantage in his eulogy of the President.
In this he displays qualities not before sus-
pected in him, religious reverence for Off
cial position loyal devotion to the dispenser
of patronage, as rare as they are genuine,
together with an audacity of assertion and a
facility of invention which might be more
useful and becoming in an auctioneer
than they are in a Senator He makes
no pretcnse of any such beggarly virtue
as impartiality. He represents the President
as a mere angel, an utterly faultless monster,
better than any good man and greater than
any great man who ever lived before. In the
rapturous flow of his alteration, he invents
new name in addition to the Hiram, Ulysses,
and Simpson, which were conferred upon the
hero by his parents and Congressman, and
calls him Sidney, on account of his startling re-
semblance to Sir Philip of that ilk. Everything
that he does is right If the twisting of law
or fact is required to justify him, Mr.. Conk-
ling stops for no such trifies, and occasionally
enlivens his narrative with a bright, fresh
falsehood. He says, for instance, that Gen.
Grants military secretaries serve just az Major
Donaldson did in JacksOn's time, when he
knows Donaldson was not an officer of the
army during Jackson's term; he says Cramer.
Minister to Denmark, was appointed by
johnson. when he knows that johnson merely
New-York tribune., 1872-07-24

made him Consul to Leipsic, where no was
publicly cOwhided by gentleman he had in
suited and refused reparation, and that Gen.
Grant himself gave him the Danish Mission.
He goes very thoroughly into the family
record, and by dint Of close pairing and falsif-
cation reduces the President to the condition
of Melchizedec, leaving him not relative in
the world. He has even the temerity
to state that Mr.. Silas Hudson, the
Presidents cousin, an illiterate loafer from
Iowa, whom the President made Minister to
Guatemala, was presented by that State for
the place; the truth being that the State,
through its representatives, presented Mr..
Howell, afterward Senator, for that mission,
and that the President cared no more for
their recommendation than for common de-
ccncy, in making the appointment.
In general matters, as well as in these de-
tails, Mr.. Conkling swings the same bold and
free brush. Gen. Grant saved the country,
which would have perished without him; he
never tool part in any political quarrel in any
State further than to forgive those who re-
viled him; he received no more gifts than
were god for him; his foreign
policy was brilliantly successful, as is
proved by his marvellous fact, which is not
generally Known to his critics. "Noblemen
81 and University men were England's Com
missioners; they sealed the Treaty with sig
net rings barring ancient coats of arms; but
" the gossip said that one of our untitled
|" and self-emcated Commissioners had moth
ing to sealwith except buttOn;" perhaps
the indirect daims were not exactly prudent
but if they wre not, MIR. Sumner made the
President inlude them; and anyhow, the
result at Geneva has covered us with
glory and made the British Lion
howl with anguish. This is fair statement
of Mr. Conklng's review of the Presidents
work, adding If course that he has paid the
debt and giveI us fair weather and good crops
he and he only. The orator shrinks from
nothing; he even shoulders Mr.. Murphy
and Mr.. Conling, and gives them both
the highest prise. though the long passage
which he devoes to showing how this Area
dian pair got he patronage of the State away
from Mr.. Fentm and his friends, and lost the
State to the republican party, shows very
plainly how much more clever they are at
ante-room intIgues than at carrying cleo
tiOns.
We have giva great deal OF room TO this
speech. We haze printed it as it was written,
much more full than it was delivered. Our
readers have tlB right to expect from us the
news of boh sides in this contest;-
and we give this interminable speech
with the less hstation because it throws the
clearest light won the character and qualif-
cations of Mr.. Roscoe Conkling-a subject
which is likely Don to be q matter of tempo
rary interest to he people of this State.

under the management of the Presidents Pn-
vate Secretary, continues, of course as mere
labor of love, to furnish its wares TO the
country newspapers. We are obliged to say
that these devoted and obliging gentlemen
sometimes get most painfully snubbed. For
instance, they prepared and printed their
"Circular No. A. They put into it eighteen

the whole with beautiful piece of poetry

across the street to "John Thomas" since it
seems to be sexactly in j. T.'s line.
We do not remember a grosser insult ever
offered to the newspaper press than this
proposition of the Presidents Private Secre-
tary to supply the country journals with
editorials in favor of Grant and Wilson. As
we look at it, it seems to be also about the
biggest blunder ever perpetrated by an cleo
tiOneering committee. 1t is virtually saying
to the managers Of the country newspapers:
"YOu do MT know how to write; you do MT
"knOw how to manage your own journals;
"but do not be discouraged for all that. We
"bright fellows in Washington will send you
"a nice lot of first-rate articles, and you can

"making a great deal of money" No wonder

temper and help us to expose the scheme. 1t il

made out of it. We fatter ourselves that We

single man who has contrived to exact moro
slavish service from a clique of American
politicians than Louis Napoleon ever obtained
from his court Of adventures and soldiers.
And what manner of man is he to whom
great party has bound itself In this extraor-
binary mannerf He does not mean to be @
despot, says Mr.. Schurz. but he wants to have
his will. He took the Presidency, not as q
trust, but as gift. He thought it was re-
ward for his military services, and he had
right to make himself and his family as COM
Portable in it as he could. He is not pur-
posely an usurper, "pondering how he may
"subvert the free institutions of the Republic.
"Neither does he ponder how he may preserve
"them. He does not ponder at all. He does
"not mean to break down the authority of the
claws. lie simply wants them not to hamper
chin in his dOings. He does not mean sys-
tematically to outrage the public sense OF
"decency by nepotism and low associations !;
"to corrupt the service, and degrade our po-
"litical life. He only wants to make his rela-
"tiyes and favorites comfortable, to associate
"with men who are cOngenial to him, and TO
I" take the best care of his interest he can."
We should do his personal government too
much honor by calling it C8sarism. IL Is not
inspired by any grand, lofty, and long-headed
ambition. at is absolutely barren of ideas
"and originality, barren of striking achieve
"ments, void of noble sentiments and inspir-
citing example. 1t is simply dull and heavy,
"stupid and stubborn in its selfsbness."
The Liberal movement is the popular revolt
against the Conkling and Morton principle of
unquestioning submission to this degrading
rule. 1t is the popular demand that the Gov
eminent of the United States shall henceforth
be carried on for the benefit of the people,
and not for the benefit and pleasure of the
President and his family. From State to
State that demand is echoing every day in
louder and louder tones The eloquent voice
which Mr.. Schurz has given it will be heard
in the remotest parts of the country, and an
answer will come back this Fall which will
startle the Presidents henchmen as they never
were startled before in the course of their
lives.

taken by our Philadelphia neighbors toward the
celebration of the Centennial in 1876 Independence

extraneous matter not strictly connected with the
first declaration of independence. the portraits
of notable Phladephans of the present day and tho
bronze and marble horrors which the energy of ad-
yertisers has accommodated in this sacred edihce
having been all swept out, together with the
candy y-stalls and peanutstands. We suggested
this reform as soon as the subject Of
the centenary was broached, but found it
met with rancorous opposition from the Philade-
phians, who feared they would be accused of
"truckling to the South" if they refused to thrust
the portraits of victorious loyal captains in the
faces of their Southern guests for reverence and
admiration when they came to look for the like
nesses of the old Fathers of their country But
common sense and manly feeling we are glad TO see.
have at last prevailed. The action of tho Phadel-
phians. we are confident is but an earnest of the
hearty good fellowship which will first of all char
acterize the anniversary.

The Erenin1 Post saws:

The EUening Post says;
"THE TRIBUNE declares that Mr. Greeley never agreed.
in case he should be chosen President, to make hr.
Seymour Secretary of State"
No. not that. The TRIBUNE said 1t was
"assured by Mr. Greeley that no one ever suggested
the name of Horatio Seymour TO him as candidate
for any Office on earth, while he never wrote line
TO Seymour received from him, had any sort OF
message from him respecting any office whatever"
And this is also true of every one else. Mr.
Greeley never profered any inducement what
ever to any person to support him for Presi-
dent, at Cincinnati, Baltimore, or elsewhere.
No one was ever authorized or melted by him
to make any bargain, arrangement, or compact
with any one else, for any such purpose.
Neither Governor FentOn nor Mr. Waldo
Hutchins (whose names have been wantonly
dragged into this discussiOn) spoke or wrote
to him on the subject of Federal office for
himself or any one else. And down to this
hour, no one was ever in any manner asked
or solicited by Mr.. Greeley to favor his
nomination for President at Baltimore, Gin
cinnati or elsewhere. All the solicitations on
this subject whereof he has any knowledge
or suspicion were addressed to him, and none
was ever accompanied by an intimation that
any favor in return was expected for any one.

In his speech at st. Louis, on Monday last,
Senator Schurz affirmed that he had been Of
fered official patronage if he would support
the SantO Domingo annexation scheme. De-
failing this attempt corruptly to influence his
vote. he said that the offer was made to him
by two gentlemen in somewhat intimate rela-
tions with the White House, who told him he
could have all the patronage he wanted II no
would aid the President. Asking one Of these
gentlemen, some months afterward, If the
President authorized this proposition, he re-
ceiyed reply from him in the following
words
Regarding the conversation you refer TO in your
note remember it with the knowledge and consent
and after had conversation with him the Presideno
that called upon you and had the conversation you
spoke Of My impression at this time Is, that the Pres
dent desired your support Domingo scheme
and wished to be such with you that your sup
port could be obtained. do not now remember any
particular language used at my interview with tho
President and would not hazard doing him an injustice
by attempting quote from memory but the impress
sion made upon my mind by the interview was xed and
distinct"
1t will be observed that the name of the
writer is not given. At a Cabinet meeting,
Yesterday this subject was fully canvassed,
and full denial by the President was agreed
on. That denial-which is as nearly official
as anything without an official signature
can be-was sent to the Associated Press
Agency, and is printed in The TRIBUNE
to-day. 1t will be observed that the
President calls for the full publication
of the letter from which quotation Is
above made, in order that he can see who
"has imposed upon Senator Schurz."
