A Wrecked Party.

The fall OF Napoleon at Sedan did not
more clearly indicate the end of his
dynasty than the recent exposures at
Washington city foreshadow the destruc-
ton Of the Republican party in this coun
try. For eight years the Republican party
has lived and moved and had its being In
Ulysses s. Grant. At the time Of his first
election that party dared not go before
the people with one OF their representa-
tive men. They chose a democrat, and
risked their chances upon his personal
reputation and war record. ard with
these they won the race. Again at
his second nomination the exigencies
OF the party again pointed MIN out
as the only man who could possibly hold
the party together. The condition of the
party is the same tc day as we approach
another presidential campaign. The party
has become more and more unpopular
every year since the close of the war.
Now that Mr.. Grant himself has become
odious the people and his own former sup
porters are compelled to cry out against
him, the party has no longer any bond Of
union or promise OF success. To-day 1t Is
a wrecked and fallen party, which the peo-
pie who have adhered to 1t are deserving by
the thousand: With Belknsp's disgrace
Grant goes hopelessly under. With the
decline OF Grants power and influence the
Republican party dies.
To-day there is no element OF strength
IN the party. There is no man In their
ranks, or out of their ranks who would
accept their nomination, who could lead
them to victory. There Is no record OF
glory that will inspire the people to sup
port the organization longer. The wailine
voice of Morton on Southern outrages has
come too late. With dozen years Of iegis-
lation on finance, and the. country left al
the brink Of ruin, a prey to the merciless
grasp of the tax collector, that party has
nothing to promise on that subject which
the people will believe. And as for any
pledge of honesty or economy, the within
pering promises of q convict In the peni-
Tertiary, pleading for pardon. would be
worth about as much consideration. The
Republican party has forfeited all right
to respectful consideration by the
people. It has proven itself to be thor
opghly and indisputably corrupt and rot

Cotton Exchange and of the Industrial Ex-
position, and escorted to pleasant quarters
at the ST. Charles Hotel. Here be re.
ceiSed calls from many OF the leading men
of the South, and his parlors at the hotel
were constsrtly crowded with pais0ns
anxious To pay him their respects. He
deiive red his speech to an spIrscistive
audience on the Exposition groun6s, st
the time chosen for that purpose, and
siter"sri spsnt some time in
examining the grounds and the
many new and novel things on

Orleans until after the Msrdi Grss carni-
val, and attended the kings ball, and the
one dedicated to tie Mystic Krewe of
Comus. He lett New Orleans on Wednes-
day last on special car, which bad been
placed at his disposal, and proceeded to Nc
bile. Here he stopped a short time for
rest and observation, and was careful that
his rest and quietude should not be broken
or disturbed. Leaving Mobile be went to
Montgomery, tie capital OF Alabama, and
remained there from Thursday evening to
early Saturday morning. While here he
was treated with the greatest considera-
lion. His old friend, George S. Houston,
is governor of the state, and from him Mr..
Hendricks received every possible alter
ton and courtesy. The legislature, being
IN session, invited him to visit the Senate

being introduced to tne members by Coy
ernor Houston. In the evening he was
serenaded at his hotel, and returned
thanks to the thoC sands present In happy
speech. While at Montgomery he was
called upon by most OF the leading either
of that city, and by many visitors of
state, who were present ct the capital.
He left Montgomery on Saturday morn
ing aud reached home yesterday morning.
Governor Hendricks and his friends who
accompanied him South are much pleased
with the treatment he received and the
consideration shown him, and hops the
trip has net been without benefit to the
country. 1t proves that the citizens of the
Southern states are ready to welcome to
the land of flowers and sunshine one who
is held in the highest estimation in the
West and North, and whom the people
of his own state will urge upon the coup-
try as suitable man to fill the chair of
Washington and Jackson.

Constructive Bribery.

Following the disgraceful revelations at
Washington wherein a cabinet officer of
the government is convicted of mcss in
famous offense, selling out his official
patronage for price, there comes t. light,
here In Indiana, similar violation
OF the decencies OF life that ought
to bury forever out of sight the party that
has attempted it..
IL was manifest yesterday that there was
trouble in the Republican camp here, and
late in the evening the rumor
was afioat tba. Major Gordon,
the candidate for attorney general
the state, had rendered his declinstion Of
his place upon the state ticket. Knowing
with what cheerfulness Major Gordon bad
accepted the nomination. this report swsk-
ened the keenest interest in the city, and as
the party is all torn to atoms here over the
disgrace OF the administration at WASH
ingtop, the liveliest interest was mani
tested to know whether Major Gordon had
repudiated the corrupt party, or whether
local difficulties had arisen to turn him
away from being, as he is expec'ed to be,
the leader of the party on the stump In
this state. But the facts OF the case ap-
pear to be of still grestsr Importance than
merely the detection OF one of their can
didatss, as the Sentinel has discovered by
diligent investigation.
Il appears that Senator Friedley, the
chairman OF the Republican State Central
Committee, has issued an order
levying a tax of Jive per cent. upon
the salaries of the federal officers In this
state. postmasters and all, and likewise
FIVE per cent on the spsctive income OF
the state officers nominated on the I'D of
February, and the demand is that said
levy shall be paid before the first OF June.

During his recent trip South Governor
Hendricks received the greatest consiG-
Grafton from the people whom he met.
His visit was in no sense a political one,
but was undertaken in the material inter-
est of the people of the Mississippi valley.
AS is known to the readers Of the Sentinel
he went to New Orleans on the invitation
of the managers of the Southern Indus
trial Exposition for the purpose of deliv-
ering an address before that association.
His address was published the morning
after its delivery and has been extensively
commented upon by the papers of the
country. 1t betrayed careful thought, an
intimate acquaintance with the CONNER
cial in terests and needs of the people OF
the South, and broad, ststesmanlike views
on many subjects of great interest to the
people of the whole country.
Governor Hendricks was accom-
panied South by a few personal
friends, among whom was General
Love, of this city. He Travelled
by the Nashville route, and on reaching
that city stopped off for few hours. The
governor of Tennessee called On him, and
escorted him to the executive office In the
state house. Here he was called upon by
all the judges of the Supreme Court, who
adjourned court for that purpose, as well
as by many leading lawyers from different
parts of the state. The several officers oil
state and many OF the leading citizens Of
Nashville paid their respects to him. and
all seemed to vie with each other IN theiI
efforts to make his stay at the capital o.
Tennessee as pleasant as possible. Leav'
ing Nashville, the governor and his party
proceeded to New Orleans without stop
ping. They were met ct the depot In thu

On the third page of the Sentinel will be
found the comments of the press upon the
latest glazing infamy fastened upon the
nation by the administration. Papers
representing all parties and shades of

verdict OF the press is that the Belknap
scandal is but the natural result of the

and the false social system that is founded
thersspon.
