COMBINES SPLENDID POSITION


made great gain, by the canvass, with every
body. Expecting his humiliation, he has re-
duced the adverse vote On the State ticket,
carried the Senate and saved fighting ground
for himself next year. He is able to point to
the popular vote and declare that he is stronger
in New York than Hayes in Ohio His OPP
ponents hold that, except for the Rochester
convention proceedings, the Republicans
would have swept the State.
Roscoe Conkling is hero. He is a born
leader. He is proud and imperious and scorn-
full of all meanness. He has so genuine a
courage and so fearless a self-assertion as to
awaken the hate rather than propitiate the
temper Of his enemies. Such man, naughty
and courageous, and of rare ability, is the
natural object of the aversion of the envious,
the malevolent and the disappointed. His
absolute opposite and sworn enemy is Reuben
D. Fenton, Ex-Governor and ex-senator of
New York Fenton is sleek, stealthy, Jesuit
cal In another age he would have given en-
ployment to prisoners and hostage to the
clergy. Conkling is not only his successful
rival, but the bane of his political existence.
The two would be enemies even if they were
and always had been separated by the Allan
tic. Such is the law of antagonists re-
verse Of the affinities. Such man as we have
described Conkling to be concentrates the hate
of the vagarists, the impracticables, the
schismatics and the combatant non-cOmbat-
ants. The result just achieved in New York
the electing of Republican majority to
the Legislatures Mr.. Conkling's mostsplen-
did victory. 1t shows what can be done by
open and courageous warfare. Hayes has
been contemplate enough to slight every Re
publican chieftain.- notably the Camerons and
Senator Conkling. The latter, like true
warrior, accepted the gauge of battle. He
made no mincing work of it. When he struck
back, he made the steel to ring and the blood
to flow He reused to the full of his majestic
wrath. His anger at Rochester was terrible |
and splendid. The ''man milliner' who OPP |
posed him with the prudish phrase of diet |
tante was put to confusion. Conkling had |
been mercilessly denounced, persistently be-
lied, most bitterly censured by Curtis and the
other Hayesites, dissenters and malcontents.
The Senator, moved by that instinct of true
loyalty which is inherent in all chiefs and cap
tains, has stood by Grant through evil and
through good report. The pigmies who hated
Grant because he declined to let them crawl
upon him, also hated Conkling for his fealty
to the great General. Against all these, them
selves encouraged by the pusillanimity of the
President, Conkling has declared open, fear
less, uncompromising war. OF course they
complain, in the whining phrase of the dis
sembling and the unfair, that he should thus,
at length assail them Like the Iron Duke
at Lisbon
He greatly stood at bay
The result of the Legislative contest in the I
Empire State is victory to be inscribed upon t
Conklings sword 1t marshals the Repub- /
ican party the way that it should 60. Sub t
mission to the death-dealing policy of the S
President is destruction-utter humiliation. L
Its every word and act is either an open or C
covert avowal of the sexless vagary of No t
party shibboleth or an insidious and malice b
attack upon the validity, perpetual n
ion and National character of the Republican t
Party. Ohio repudiates Hayes, root and "
branch, at once condemning his preposterous P
md dishonest policy and rebuking the often ?
i've impertinences Of Stanley Matthews. New c.
York, the fighting blood of her yeomanry p
reused, has nobly seconded the gallant Sen
tor who so promptly took up the gauntlet
brown from the White House. The lesson &c
J worth needing. 1t illustrates for the ten y
housandeth time, the inestimable value of L
ourage and the essential need of manful m
nd timely resistance. The way to win bat l.
es is to fight. Open, frank, valorous war is HI
he way to real victory. Half hearted sup Ell
ort of the Presidents policy is equally COM dc
emptible with half-hearted opposition A an
rinciple that is worth having is worth fight re
lg for. The more pronounced and candid tn
lie avowal of enmity the heartier the fight. Bl
the Republican Party would live it must Ell
'mbat the President and, taking example
Roscoe Conkling, resist with scorn his in
Its and his treachery. Vi
