There is no doubt that many Republicans aro
aversc to giving tho election n partisan char-
aoter, il It can bo avoided. They want the
best mnn for tho place, regardless
Of his party affiliations. 1nco.rurt-
bic character, legal learning, aud atili-
ty and industrious capacity are the three
essent!al requisites for a Supreme .rhdgs, but
in tho present state Of the cnse they muAt
either make tho election appear to be partisan
III character OF they must surrender 1t to tho
other side, aud thus givo tho Democracy fee
ont Of tho strfn Supreme Judges. The Dem.
ocrats haye nlwaya made it a r1,le 10 nosninnsc
Judges from their own party in Democratic
districts, n:. in Republican districts to .aiso
Tho l.uc nnd cry Of "no party 3" md "tho
best man for the placc," and by this shnrp
policy hare secured nenrly oil Of the Judgss
In Republican State. Inasmucl, therefore,
ny there is no probability Of one of tho two
candidates in the fold withdrawing in favor
Of tho other, it seems necessary to cali Con-
sention and present single candidate, md
then lcave the responsibility of electing him
to tho citizens. The vo.o pollad will un-
doubtedly he light ono. but ii any
effort IL made tho Republican candidate
can be elected III my event, tho class
OF people TINT will vote are those who feel
intereated aud they can DO safely trusted to
discriminate in favor Of tho best man. To
avoid the necessity Of primaries, the delegates

If alr. CARPENTER we're not 10 busily en-
gagged in defending his clients in Milwaukee
who arc arraignad as members Of the Whisky
Ring, VIC should be justified in saying that
his letter contains tie only libel that has been
uttered Thus fur when he ACCUSES THE
TRIBUNE Of giving Its readers to understand,
md intending thnt they ahall understand,
that lie "was, while Senator, u sharer in the
fruit Of frauds upon Tho Internal Revenue
laws Of tho United 6tates." We have searched
tho hlcs Of TaE TRIBUNE very carefully, aud
can find nothing In its Milwaukee CORE
slonlenco or elsewhere which warrants 11r,
CARPENTER i'll any such conclusion, and wo
presume that, when he brings his libel suit

ahan mako allowance, however, for tho
pressure of his present engagements in Mil

person, aud has not had time to examine the

The facts in the mattor aro simply these:
The TRIBUNE had good reason to suspect,
from the indictments that Ind bcen found in
Milwaukee,, the existence in that city Of
Whisky Ring similar to TINT uneasthed in st.
Louis. But ii searched tho Milwaukee papers

THE PEH8IQN FRAUDS.
Lightning has struok again: this time not
among tho crookod whisky barrels, but among
tho crooked pensions, Bn1srow'a bold attack
upon the Whisky Rings has beou quickly fol-
lowed up by an equally boil attack Of old
zAcE cnASpLrnnpont the Claim-Agents' Rings,
and 1t now looks as il there might be geu-
eral movement all along tic limo ut IN early
day, aud TINT tho Presidents peremptory in
junction to "Lst no guilty man escape" will
bo caASDIEa's as we'll rs Bn1srow,a policy.
No prisoners are to b. paroled. It is to bs a
war Of determination.
Tho new mast Of corruption Is quite as
large, and In somo respects rs serious, as that
which Secretary BRlsTow discovered. These
frauds have long been suspected, and tho
Commissioner Of Pensions has for somo ti,no
beloved that, during Dg1Aao's administra-
ton and even before that time. there WAS q
general thioviah ring Of clalm.a3ents running
in bogus namos upon the penHion.lists until
they have become loaded down with thou
sands OF improper names aud the Taxpayers
haye thereby suffered loss OF millions Of
dollars. 1t Is nearly eleven years since the
War closed. Many thousands Of pensioners
have died aud Other thousands hnre been re-
moved, md yet the list has constantly grown
and the accounts ilave constantly increased.
In Phi1adolphia alone, $4,000 cases have
boon suspended for re-cxaminatiou, Involving
a payment Of $4,000, 600 annually, which has
gone Into tho hands of this Eastern ring Of
elaim-ageuts. How much moro has boon
obsaiued by these fraudulent practices Of the
claim-sgcuts time alone can tell, but intima-
tions arc already given TINT thero ara similar
rings In other cities.
Tho discovery of this new nest Of cornp-
ton Is one Of the benefits which has attended
the recent, but too-long dclayed, changein the
Department Of tho Interior. Secretary
CnANDLR8 being nox man, Of courao has no
affiliations with the past and no satellites to
protect. He Is nothing to HEcupA nor Hrc~
UNA to him. He is at perfect liberty TO pull
out and root out everything In tile Pension
Department, uPsurn every rock in the field,
md stamp out the yer1nin which have been
swarmlng under them III this ease he Las
struck 4 perfect bonanza Of scoundrolisna,
and, being absolutely FREQ to dig and blat,
and having tho disposition to do 1t, tho coun-
try can rest contented with the ASSURANCE
that ho will mine ths bonanza to its doepest
depths. It is good year for this kind Of
work. Secretary Dn1srow is cleaning up his
nest slowly but very aurely, uudisturbed by
the dutteringa Of the foul birds and
the squirning Of the reptiles which
havo been swarrnIng in 1t. Secretary
