with Danquetlng chambers at Saratoga
and Long Branch. Another distn-
| guished actor on the Liberal board
was a much favored beneficiary of
Republican bounty. He accepted the
delusive honors of q contested seat in
Congress as the consideration of services
rendered in the attempted decentralization
of the party to which he had owed 80
much. We are told by some garnet cor
respondent of the Pic, writing as if from
Long Branch, that this ''genial and tai
ented Liberal" orator and politician ''has
at Long Branch pretty cottage in which
to recuperate from the wasted energies of
the winter campaign. Here, too, may be
found the summer retreats of many promi-
nent individuals in the theatrical world,
among them the Wallacks, Chanfrau,
Edwin Adams and Others"
There among presidential aspirants and
play actors the great Liberal leader whites
away the breezy hours in congenial conf
dence with the end-men, murderers
and tyrants Of the drama, happy far
away from the actual strife of party in
which deeds of genuine violence invoke
the anxiety of every patriot. Some other
leaders of this very forlorn movement are
also at their homes in Ohio, or prospect
ing in other lands the inducements
to a political migration from this.
There is one whose temporary alteration
was especially to be regretted. He was
never connected with the Fusion slate in
any official relation whatever, and has
given evidence of the sincerity of his error
by devoting himself to his profession and
abiuring the tortuous paths Of politics.
Where is then the authority for calling
in council this scattered band? Where is
the prospect even of any cohesive consid-
Grafton to bind them again together? The
issues Of the last fight consisted in large
white hat. 1t has disappeared, and no
other supernatural emblem has appeared
in the political sky to emblazon the ban
ner of other political fanatics.
We protest, therefore, that none calling
themselves Liberal Republicans have au-
thority to enter Fusion convention ss
the representative in any ssnse Of the Re-
publican party.
On the other hand, the ex-Fusionists
WHO have now bloomed out in the flower
of the White Camelia, enter also their OBJ
jections to the admission of the Liberals
into the anti-Republican councils at Baton
Rouge. One of them had hoped the
Liberal movement, connected with $50
many sad memories of disappointed Gu
pidity-was effectually dead. 1t bids the
ill-omened spectre avaunt from the Flu
sion feast. There is no speculation in the
spectral eye, and great deal of that COM
modify before the vision of the Camelian.
So tar from welcoming these former
friends whose fingers were once active in
the manipulation Of fusion, the impartial
Pic is berated for having published the
Liberal address. A party which consists
of all officers to be rewarded and no
soldiers to vote, offers no inducement to
bargain. The pretensions Of the Liberals
to be admitted as delegates from party
which has no existence" are regarded as
absurd, and the Bulletin is rebuked for
allowing them even to participate.
1t is plain, therefore, that the Liberal
party must be only acting in liquidation;
that its principal proprietors are at this
moment absent defendants, and that those
who assume to manage its affairs in their
absence merely propose to compound
their obligations, and dissolve their part
nership -imited-upon the payment of
half cent on the dollar from the proceeds
and perquisites of the en.uing political
campaign. Last bid for the Liberal Or
ganization and assets of the Liberal party.
