The Washington correspondent of
the Springfield (Mass.) Republican
gives, from his Radical standpoint, the
true reason why none of the party
leaders have a word to say eondenlna-
tory of the presidents acts, lie says
Meanwhile, the Republican leaders
here are paralyzed with fear. They
dare do nothing, lest the president
should turn and rend them-in the
matter of offices. Why dosen't Seua-
tor Edmunds. who is SO very brave Ia
his attacks upon rebels, openly de-
nounce the president for his infamous
conduct? He is afraid to do so-good
and true man that he is. Where is
George E. Hoar in such an emergen-
cy Z? Honest and able and true man
that he is, we all know how he feels
over such conduct of the president,
but is he quite sure that it is not bet
ter to risk quarrel with General
Grant. and come out with an open
condemnation of his course There
is immense danger of the success of
Tilden and the Democratic party, and
simply because the country is afraid
that Grant has a powerful support in
Congress and his party. The silence
of the party leaders angers the indie
pendent voters. Once convince them
that majority of the influential men
in Congress and party sympathize with
General Grant In his recent course,
and the game is up-the campaign is
lost at the start. And with such
frightful dangers staring the party in
the face, not one prominent Republi-
can in the country is doing anything
speaking anything to prove that there
is a general dissent from Grants
shameless conduct. And it is we'll
known here that great many Repub-
lIcans are with Grant in his hatred of
Bristow and Jewell. In the Senate,
Morton, Conkling, Logan, Sargent,
Spencer and others would instantly
defend Giant, if Edmunds or Dawes
or Wadleigh or Christiancy were to at
tack him; and, in the House, Republi-
cans like Kasson and Conger and Hurl-
but would defend him through thick
and thin. | have no doubt of Cover
nor Hayes being entirely sincere in his
professions of reform, and | believe he
will have his way, if elected president,
but he will have an awful fight of it,
inside his own party Men like Logan
and Conkling and Butler can not easily
be put down ON the question of civil
service reform, but ID time they will
give way to public sentiment The i'm
mense gang of ring thieves in this and
other large cities will have to loosen
their hold on public plumber at last,
though their grip was never much
stronger than it is now. Grans has
only lease of few months more and,
when he goes, he will drop very quick

tives"

REPUTATION MEANS COMMUNISM.
IF the State can take from man
bond issued by the State, which he has
bought, because it will relieve the peo-
ME. then the State has the same moral
right to take from another man the
land which he has bought and to which
the State has made grant, and divide
| it among those who have no land and
are unable to buy, but who are willing
TO work it. Repudiating the bonds
issued by the State is simply dividing
them out by force among the tax pay

without their consent, and without
compensation, for the benefit OF others.
A man has as much natural and moral
r;gbt to own a bond as he has to own
more land than he can cultivate, ana
20 denriye him of either is commu-
nism and is as justifable in the one
c,se as in the other; it is not rlgh'
nor wise for the holders of one species
of property to attack the owners o

said deed of trust had not been satisfied or
cancelled and further, that unless said deed
of trust should be paid, that he would proceed
