Alcorn defends the back
salary steal on the grounds
that Washington society is
very bad and members need
their wives with them to keep
them straight. In the better
days of the Republic, when
gentlemen were sent to Con
gress, the people were not eX-
pected to pay all the incident
al expenses incurred in conse-
quence Of the absence of their
wives. We suppose "things

Like CoNNoLLY. he had figures literally
cooked up to fnlsify the situation and TO
mislcad the public. lust ~ false statements
were advertised over Europe that the first
lonn of the District of Columbia was en-
dorscd by the Government.
GOV. COOKE is more responsible than any
other man for the deplorable condition OF
the District Government. To the extent
of his ability he did what he could to
initiate IA profigatc and corrupt system,
modelled, to the very forms which TWEED
supplied, after old Tammany. He em-
ploycd none but capable Instruments to aid
IN this uefarous work, and he submitted to
the stronger will Of others who had views
of their own to carry out.
Naturally Of a small capacity, with no de-
cision OF character, and unable 20 even earn
n decent living when left to himself, he is
the creature of accident and one OF the re-
suits of civil war, which in It's violent fer
mcntatiou threw so many dregs to the sur
face. fortune was made for him by
others more sagacious and competent. II
hc had been content with easy inferIority
he would have passed along without much
comment, and perhaps have received som"
of the devotion of those who worship the
golden calf.
lie has fallen from the little position he
once had. No wonder he seeks to quit
Washington, where his character Is
dcsp.s sod, his word is not believed. aud no
respect Is attached to ms name. SHEPHERD
and Cooke stand there in the shoes of
TWEED and CoNNoI.rY here. And the time
Is near nt hand when II just retrbution
will uNcrtakc them both. As Gen. GRASr
receives a large interest from COOKE for all
hi deposits which hc and his confederate
can well afford to pay, his zeal in defend
ng ltI- own Governor and banker Is well
understood. lie is the bulwark of the
Ring. But for him it would have b,en

these, her staid middle class in We country
towns, were not going tO be bullicd into
his nomination 10y Il cabal Of otlcCholdcrs
who acknowledged no allegiance to the
Commonwealth, but owed all their influ-
cnce and consequence to the central power
at Washington.
Appeals from this quarter and OF this
kind sealed the fate Of BUTLER. The GRANT
offccholdcrs no doubt obtained few dele
gates for him; but 10y furnishing grounds
for these appeals they deprived him of
more than they drew To him. As near as
could be ascertaned the majority against
BUTLER in the Convention was less than
one hundred, he having about five hundred
delegates aud WAsHBrRN about six hun
dred. Many of BUTLER's shrewdest friends
have no doubt that he could have easily
overcome this majority and secured to
himself n rrcpondcrance OF one hundred

upon him as the candidate Of the Federal
oiiceholders.
The Republicans OF Massachusetts, nrc
always wary and slow in their uttcrances

aside from the beaten track OF the party.
ohighcr proof could be adduccd that the
administration has brought itself into
deep disreputc 10y its Interference in this
canvass for Governor, and has fallen far
below the beaten BUTLER himself, than
the two first resolutions Of the Convention.
The one relating to the salary law afforded
an opportunity To strike straight at Bur
LrR; and yet the resolution on that sub
j"ct is not as severe as the average of those
adopted 10y the other Republican Stutc
Conventions And why was this SO? Be
cause Massachusetts, is pruvcrbially cau-
tous in her declarations, aud never in
duigcs in hot words except under the
pressure of unprecedented proVocatious.
But on the other hand the Massachusetts,
Republicans are the first in the Union who
have passed u resolution denouucing the
intcrmcddling of Federal oniccholdcrs in
their local politics, and calling explicitly
upon the President TO put stop TO it,
The staid old Commonwealth must have
been stirred to the bottom before such Il
resolution could have been wrung out of

Let Gen. GRtNT take warning from this
deop-toncd protest of the Republicans of

vcntions Of other states speak to him and
