A TYPICAL CHARACTER.

MeLin, the repentant carpet-bsgger'
is q type of a large class of mel who
were developed by the war and the sub
sequent policy Of the Republican party.
Grant fostered and protected just such
scoundrels for eight years, and the Re
publican who had the honesty and bold
ness to enter q protest was cried down
and denounced as a traitor to his party.
Horace Greeley went down to his grave
broken.hesrted and covered with d%enunci'
alton by the party be built up and fought
for for a quarter Of a century. Grant had
suoh men as McLin in his household,
and appointed them to the highest places
within his gift. Offices were bestowed
as rewards for partisanship and personal
favors or support without regard to the
qualifications of the beneficiary. MeLia
had heard that all things were fair in
war and in politics. he lived in an at
m%osphere of venality, and saw go many
rascals 10 high places that he learned to
believe that a man ceuld only reach a
great position by beirg corrupt and i'm.
moral. There are thousands Of McLins
who would do anything to promote
party success, but they do not al
ways own up aud tell the truth. Of
course the public will accept McLin at
his own estimate Of himself, as a perjurer
and a fool. What he says in this con
fession, however, is nothing new. The
world at large, as far as it knows any
thing about the Florida election, knows
that Tilden carried that State as we'll as
Louisiana. These confessions throw
some light on the subject, and as far as
~corroborated by established facts, 90 to
condemn the Republican party for con-
niving at the greatest fraud of the age.
McLin is a better man than some who
used him, but be is weak and vacillst-
ing. like Elizabeth TiltOn, or he would
not have come out with such a revelation
at this late day. There is no doubt bat
powerful Influences have been quietly at
work several months in Florida to bring
out the truth, and that McLin's c%onfes-
sion is only a part of a general plan.
Whether this originated with the Demo
Gratis or Republicans Of the anii-Hsyes
stripe remains to be seen. It will not
upset NJ. Hayes as President, but il will
enable the people to go back Of the re
turns and to 60 to the bottom Of the
greatest political crime of the century.
