ment has been presented in behalf OF the
murderer Stokes, to Judges Pratt, Bar
nard and Gilbert, reciting the order of
his trial and conviction. claiming irreg-
ularity in the proceedings, and alleging
that Governor Tilden has denied him his
legal rights. The whole constitutes an
ingenious plea for a rehearing, with a

after ring breaking and developing the
deepest corruption, when we find the
American name over the world the
synonyme of official dishonesty, when be-
cause of the infamy of this trusted leader
of the administration our very institutions
are in reproach, it is time for the people,
and especially for honest Republicans who
remember the proud days when the party
dared 10 proclaim emancipation, to COM
pei reluctant Lincoln to obey its will
and drive johnson to the verge of i'm
parchment. to hold the true culprits re-
sponsible. These men have been the
leaders of the party for years.
There is not Republican senator who
can escape this condemnation. If they
had been true to the party and the best
interests of the country; if they had held
their high place free from the contamina-
ton of patronage; if they had felt that
something was due to the spirit of our
institutions and the welfare of the party as
we'll as to the stubborn ambition of q
military chief there would haye been an
end Of this long, long ago. As it is, if the
country. as now seems probable. will turn
upon the Republican party and repudiate
it, the blame will rest upon Grant and his
subservient senator's. The power that
was given them has been used for theil
own aggrandizement. Belknap in the
dock or at the bar of the senate is only
typical of the position which the Republi
can party in the persons of its trusted
leaders now holds before the country. AL
are guilty alike-guilty of subserviency te
the will Of military dictator, guilty o.
selling their senatorial influence fol
patronage, guilty of betraying their grea
party into the hands of gang of military
adventures who only came into the party
when it gave them Office, and who have nj
sympathy with it outside of the gains i
has bestowed upon them. BesAusc of thu

come upon the nation. Men not only sa,
that the institutions of republic are in
sufficient for the purposes of an economical
and free government; they ask whether
after all, we should not, in this centennia
year, take the whole fabric to pieces anC
see if we cannot have an administration
machine which will give us somethin!
other than "cronies" in the cabinet, slave
in the senats and thieves in the publi
offices.
