THE LITTLE TwEEDs AND SwEKSYs of
Westchester have found their Tilden in a
new Board of Trustees, who promptly car
ried the wrongs of the town through the
courts; but, alas for New York, the likeness
ends tn re to our municipal robbery. While
the little Westchester ring has been COM
PEELED to disgorge the plumber, Uncle
Samuel has not collected much on his
sc, 600, 600 verdict against the ex-Boss. 1t
must be allowed that our city thieves were
.'no countrymcn," and their plumber was
more deity conveyed than any westchcsicr
tyro could hope to accomplish. Still the
wcstchester men understood the general
principle.

Out of the eight marksmen added to the
first sixteen by the joint committee two
strong shots have succeeded in placing
themselves among the first twelve in the
competition that closed on Tuesday. This
result fully indicates the course of the COM
mittce and justifes the HEnALDs opinion
that these two gentlemen. Mr. Farwell and
Mr.. Weber, were worthy of an extended
chance. Among the gentlemen who are to
shoot finally next week for places on the
team and reserve we do not think, if the
present scores are to stand, and the new
ones to be added, that there will be much
change of place. except Mr.. Fulton exhibits
his skill in its wonted force. This he has
failed in up to the present. Each of the
marksmen has fred two hundred shots, and
General Dakin still heads the list with
1886 ont of 1000 points. The totals of the
first eight are G,419 out of 5000 points, or
so. 2375 per cent-a very remarkable figure
indeed. To show how close the shooting
was we may say that, taking the first twelve
scores, the percentage is only reduced to
1915. With such high shooting done at the
disadvantage of every man firing on his own
account we think that even If they composed
the team they would be hard lot to beat.
The first competition Of the Irish rifemen
for places on their team, which is reported
in full elsewhere, does not furnish us with
any figures on which fair comparison Of
their probable force with ours can be made.
1t is only single days shooting of forty-five
shots per man, and the atmospheric condi-
tions are said to have been unfavorable.
The eight highest, who made lao points
out of possible 1880, however, have a
percentage of 1873 to show, which is very
good shooting. We incline to the be-
lief that when our own twelve are
selected next week the best interests
will be conserved by deferring the di-
vision into team and reserve until some
time later on, leaving the less fortunate in
these opening matches chance to better
themselves. We are glad to observe that the
representative of the Western marksmen
calamity holds his own.

The SPEECH OF Mn TAnpox in the House

motives were concerned in the starting of
the inquiry which has been so unpleasant

We contribute this morning another series
of interviews to the lists already presented,
three of the New England States Connecti-
cut, Vermont and New Hampshire-be
selected for this days chapter of political
opinion in regard to the Cincinnati nomina-
ton. The value of this contribution is in
the proof it affords that Mr.. Blaine cannot
hold his own even in his own section. Con-
necticut is opposed to him, Vermont is very
weak in his support and New Hampshire is
wavering. Many of his best friends-friends
like Judge Poland, who has received fire.
quent favors at his hands--are beginning to
think that his nomination would be mex
pedient and to look elsewhere for q candi-
date to fill the requirements of the republic
can nominee. New England recognizes the
necessity Of carrying New York and, accord
ing to the sentiments of some of the dele
gates whose opinions we print, there is q
disposition to support Mr.. Wheeler rather
than Senator Conkling If New York is to
be carried by the republicans Mr.. Conkling
is the only man in this State who can carry
it, and the only candidate outside of it who
has any chance to win here is Hayes or
Washburne. From this time forward this
fact will impress itself more and more upon
the delegates to Cincinnati and as Blaine's
strength diminishes the support of such of
the candidates as may possibly carry the
Empire State must increase.
It will be observed as curious feature of
these interviews that each State has candi-
date who is regarded by the delegation as
worthy of either the first or second place on
the ticket. New York presents Senator
Conkling. In Pennsylvania there is some
thing very like enthusiasm for Governor
Hartranft New Jersey whispers the name
of Frelinghuysen. Connecticut has a
Jewell Of her own. Vermont would like to
put Judge Poland on the ticket for Vice
President, and New Hampshire talks about
Senator Cragin for the same place. None OF
these except Conkling is in reality candi-
date at all, and great deal OF time is wasted
in talking about them, but they are con-
venient names behind which delegates can
conceal their opinions while they are search
ing after the ''Great Unknown"

Schurz, Banks, Fenton and so many other
republican leaders into opposition. 1t is
owing to the steadfast fidelity of men like
Conkling that the party has not been dis
organized and disbanded. To him more
than to any other leader it is indebted for
its continued existence as n united political
phalnnx, and for its ability to go into another
Presidential election with prospects of sue
cess. The maintenance of the organization
amid SO many OBJECTIONS necessitated a firm
support of the administration. If the Presi-
dent had not had unfinching supporters
like Mr.. Conkling the republican party to-
day would be o broken, scattered and de-
monlized political army, despised by its
friends and not formidable to its foes.
The only rallying point for hold
ing the party together was the admin
istration of President Grant, and Mr..
dividual in preventing a general stampede
when so many other leaders deserted. It
was not for Grants sake, but for the party's
sake, that Mr.. Conkling has been so stanch a
champion Of unity and discipline and the
soundness of his judgment is indicated by
the fact that, in spite of SO many assertions
by trusted leaders, and in spite of the fall Of
so many republican officials, the party pre-
serves its organization and its vitality, and has
more than On even chance of electing the
next President. If Mr. Conkling had played
r6ie like that of Mr.. Curtis and SO many
others the republican party would by this
time be SO weak as to make it of no conse-
quence who is nominated by its National
Convention. The preservation of the party
is owing to men Of whom Mr.. Conkling is
the most conspicuous type nor can it expect
success in the election without the power
full aid of the administration with which Mr..
Conkling was too wise to break.
1t is, of course, possible that Mr.. Conkling
may be defeated at Cincinnati but certain
it is that the republican party can succeed
only by pursuing policy like that of which
he is SO eminent representative. Even if
the Convention should reject the man it will
have to adopt his system. Instead of dis
rupting the party by q break with the Presi-
dent it will have to act In harmony with
him or forfeit its chances of success. 1t can
not nominate Bristow without destroying
the party, because Bristow stands just where
Sumner, Schurz, Greeley and their abettors
stood when they were on the point of de-
serting Warned by their fate Bristow dares
not 60 outside the party but, excepting
his lack Of courage, he belongs to their class.
He is mere Fouche in politics, and it would
be as preposterous to nominate him for the
Presidency as it would have been for the
French people to have made Fouche the sue
cessor Of the Emperor Napoleon. If Senator
Conkling should not be nominated some
republican like Mr. Washburne or Governor
Hayes, some republican who has acted with
the party and has made no open or covert
war on the administration, must be taken,
unless the Convention courts defeat

The escape of the Fenian prisoners from
West Australia adds strange chapter to tho
long-sustained quarrel between England and
Ireland. Within the last ten years Irelands
feeling of antagonism against her conqueror
has been illustrated in many ways, from re-
bellion in Ireland to invasions of Canada,
from secret conspiracy to open organizations,
home rule demonstrations and what not.
This carefully prepared plan to rescue a
number of sentenced prisoners, insignificant,
perhaps, in themselves shows they were
estimated by their brethren for their sacri-
fees as much rs for their personal value, and
the demonstration of this alone will, doubt
less, stimulate the anti-English sentiment
among the mass of Irishmen opposed to
English rule. Hence, if the fugitives make
good their escape--and once on the high seas
on board an American ship there seems little
danger of their return to prison-we may look
to see the event swell to the importance Of q
victory over England, and infame Irish
opinion here as well as in Ireland to de-
with foreign eyes may not comprehend at
first. The affair will bring little credit to
Mr. Disraeh, who SO recently refused to re.
NIT the penalties on these men. Had it been
announced that they were to be pardoned
it would have saved appearances, although
it could not have prevented the rescue, which
must have taken place some weeks before the
amnesty debate. In one respect this stimu-
lation Of national aspirations in Ireland will
be unfortunate for England-namely, that
she finds herself on the edge of what may
prove gigantic war, when the bare neces-
sity of keeping large garrison in Ireland
and large naval force in Irish waters will
weaken her for offensive purposes con-
siderably.

The Lansing Republican says the his
torical collections OF the different states.
rs published by their pioneer or other
antiquarian societies, are among the most
precious Of all literature. Some of the
volumes now out of print bring fabu-
Ions prices, and they are all regarded AS
of the highest authority, as they are of
the deepest interest. The pioneer soci-
ETY. of Michigan, now nearly three years
old, will soon publish volume OF near
ly 600 pages, under the direction of Mrs.
III. A. Tenny,the efficient and accurate sec
rotary. 1t will contain a report of all the
early meetings Of the society; its legal
organization 4 list of its members with
their residences, ages, and the time when
they came into the state its social and
other gatherings; and large number Of
historical sketches of the different coun-
ties. 1t is hoped TO put this work
through the press during the coming
session of the Legislature.

Almost Incredible.

A story comes to us which seems al
most incredible, still the authority is such
that we can hardly ITO otherwise than
think there must be some truth i'm 1t. A
short time ago lady went about town
and collected quite al amount of money
for the purpose of relieving destitute
widow. During the past week it has
been ascertained that the widow in ques-
ton did nos receive any portion of it,
but that the lady paid some debts of her
own with the money. We hope. for the
credit of Chcboygan, that there is no
Truth, whatever, in the rumOr.

branch of business, and with very ell

it could be otherwise. There is an i'm
