THE Chicago Journal borrows NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN, simile and remarks that
" POTTER is TILDEN's phonograph." The
philologists do not give us a word with
which to characterize this appropriation of
our simile by the Journal. But We are not
inclined to complain. We have become ac-
customed to this sort of thing. The word
Greaserism, and the term Mexicanization,
and many other pertinent political epithets
now in vogue to epitomize and characterize
partisan theories and movements, had their
origin in the Colossal Dome of Thought
which finds relaxation, profit, and the graft
fication of serving our common country, in
the editorial conduct of The REPUBLICAN
Some of these terms or epithets have not
been cxaltcdly dignifled it is true but they
have become of common use because of their

SENATOR CONKLING.

We noticed Il short time since the remark
able statement imputed to President
HAYES, who gave as authority therefor
"a man in Albany in effect that Senator
CONKLING had made Overturcs to the Prcsi-
dent for treaty of peace and friendship
based upon terms therein named. We
could not credit the statement then, neither
do we now, for the simple reason that we
regard the proposition as one that it is not
possible for Mr.. CoNKLING to have made
We have yet to know or believe that Sem
ator CoNKLING has ever harbored any such
feeling Of eumity toward Senator MORTON
as that proposition implied. We will not
question the fact, as set forth, that a man
in Albany" gave the President the inform
alton that led him to make the statement ;
but before we can credit the Albany mans
statement it is important that he should be
pointed out, so that his motives, his oppOr-
tunity for knowing the facts that he repre-
sented, and his character for truth and ver-
acity may be considered and apprc ciated.
When this " man in Albany" who is so sur
charged with information relating to Senator
CoNKLINGs political wishes and move
lnents, will reveal himself if he is gentle
man and will give the reasons for the hope
or information that reposes within him,
then the question may very soon be brought
to an issue and the fact be ascertaned
whether or not Mr. CoNKLING has been
guilty Of such marked inconsistency as q

But it was in keeping with Mr.. WHIT
THoRNE's policy, pursued during the So
called investigation of Secretary RoBEsoS's s

being simply m aggregation of er-parte and

that wing of the party there than IL he was
ont which Is equivalent to saying that Mr.
McCRARY Is acting tho spy. The Hawteye
does not hesitate to boldly accuse him Of try
ing 10 carry water on both shoulders. for the
sake Of his salary, and says that the work he
has undertaken, according to the testimony Of
his friends, Is that of q spy.
Now, while we are politically opposed to Mr.
MCCRARY, we dislike 10 see him, as we would
any one, accused wrongfully. We think Mr.
McCRARY Is q conscientious man In his politi-
cal opinions-and that were he hot In perfect
political accord with Mr.. HAYES he would not
so stultify himself as to retain the position of
one Of his constitutional advisors for one mo.
ment. How could he, If he is nn honorable
mau2 He could not, aud we will not believe
anything so dishonorablo Of him unless he con-
firms IL by his own words or open acts.
Mr.. McCRARY cannot believe that tho Re-
publicans Of Iowa and tho policy Of HAYES
are both right, aud wo assume as we have a
right to, that lie believes In HAYES No
words Of his have reached us to the contrary.
As u conscientious man he must disapprove OF
the attacks mado by the Iowa Radicals upon
tho Administration Of which he Is part. We
have good grounds for saying he does disap-
prove of them. When the Iowa Radicals of
the first district boldly arraign HAYES for po-
| litical dclinquencies, as they did at their re-
cent convention, by saying that "Whocvcr
treats with the Democratic party from any
other standpoint than the bloody shirt mani
tests inclpacity 10 understand pal pable facts,
and will he overwhelmed with disaster" and
"Whorvcr fails to appreciate these facts comes
short of Republican duty we say that when
they thus openly slap HAYES in the face they
with scarcely less venom strike his War Sccrc-
tary; for It was through his Department, by
his consent aud with his advice, that the acts
which have so disgruntlcd the Radicals Of Iowa
with HAYES were put ia execution.
As u fellow. .townsnian, Mr.. MCCRARY--and
us one who, us we have before said, has pride
in his success aud belief in his honor-we
cannot consent that he shall be misreprescutcd
by partisan sheets, for partisan purposes, with
out entering word Of protest. We have no
hesitation In saying that Mr.. McCRARY dis
approves OF the platform Of the Radicals Of
the first district, and that he will not. b.
cause he cannot, honorably, support their can
didate for Congress.

ANDERSON, and put stop to the infamous
conspiracy that the Potterites are trying to
build up over his bloody corpse-a con-
spiracy that, could his lips be unsealed,
would only result in opening the doors Of
the penitentiary for his living defamers.
After the election WEBER came to New Or
leans from West Feliciana with the returns,
which he delivered to the Returning Board
without any protest against the bull-dozing
that had occurred being attached thereto,
frankly admitting that he was afraid
his life would pay the forfeit Of
such protest In other words,
he did not dare to state under
oath the intimidation the Democrats hai
practiced. Finally, however, in the interest
of justice and humanity, he consented to
make the protest and run the risk. Subse-
quently, upon the assurance of personal
protection, he returned TO the parish, where
he owned little property, and where his
family resided. II was fatal step. On
the second day after his arrival at home he
wrote the following letter to Senator Nc
MILAN, of Minnesota, whose acquaintance
he had formed in New Orleans:
MY DEAR Mr.. SENATOR: see by the Asso.
ciated Press dispatches that President GRANT
will not recognize Governor PACKARD. 1t is
even asserted that Prcsident-el HAYES is
committed to such line of policy. If this
should prove true if, after our services to the
nation, we are to be left in the hands Of Men.

ton. ! appeal TO you, Mr. Senator, not rs n

was walking past the courthouse. he was
