at is by no means settled question
whether Gen. Garfield is TO be slaughtered
Or not" was the remark to-day of one Of
Ina Oldest and most conservative Of WASH
ngton Republican officials, man who has
close relations with the Republican leaders,
and ia O very shrewd observer, with strong
Judgment. From lis con-
versation with the Times correspondent to-
day it is clearly to be seen that tie situation
in the Republican party at the present time
is very remarkable one. There ia at pres
emit no union anywhere among the leaders.
THE cAMERoNs
are especially silent, as if meditating some
blow. Not single ratification meeting in
the interest of the Republican ticket has
been had in the :State of Pennsylvania.
This is attributed entirely to the Camerons,
who have not yet made up their minds just
what they will do. Don Cameron is sulking
in his tent at White Sulphur. It is now
reported from his present location that IN
der no circumstances will he take the chair
manship of the Republican cam paign Gem
mittse. The dissatisfaction of the Came
rons is too deep and lasting to be set aside
by anything but most extraordinary means.
The dissatisfaction is not confined to the
Camerons. All the members of
THE SENATORIAL SYNDICATE
are more than opposed to fighting for $40
cess under Garfield. In conversation with
their friends they use very plain language
about Garfield. They call him a canting
Ohio hypocrite, who has had his hand in
every job at Washington, without the cour-
age to avow it. Indeed, ii is a fact that
nearly all of the most terrific things that are
said about Garfield come from Republicans.
Still worse than this discord are the tactics
If the Garfield people. By their course since
the Chicago convention they have alineated
the Grant people almost beyond repair, in
stead of making an attempt in the interest
of harmony. In fight where community
of interest and sympathy is so essential.
nearly everything which would conduee to
that end has been steadily, and with the
blindness of folly, neglected. A prominent
Illinois Republican, who was identified with
THE GRANT FIGHT
in Illinois, said to-day: ave were treated bad
ly enough at Chicago, but it has been WORSE
SINCE We are heartily tired of being told
that the defeat of the third term was the only
means of saving the party. They may think
US very bad, terrible men, bound TO compass
a. ,ofkt ,.&x Int ic Of
good policy to be continually telling US of 1t
and then ordering us into line to work for
the salvation of the party under their lead.
They can not win without u, and their COR
slant antagonism and criticism of US will
wear out at last even the nose rigid sense of
loyalty to party" This sort of talk is very
common among the Grant republicans. So
great is
THIS DISSATISFACTION
and so openly is it expressed, that there Is at
present regular panic among the depart
ment people over their prospect OF retaining
Office beyond the 4th of next March. This
panic has stimulated payment of the regular
assessment ca lied for by the secretary of the
Republican congressional committee, print
ed in last Sundays Times. Every clerk
who receives salary of $1,000 per annum
is expected to pay 2 per cent of his salary.
II is known that MIR. Hayes will not object
this year to rigid enforcement of this
assessment, and the instances of refusal
among the clerks are comparatively rare. 1t
is expected that the meeting of thu Repub-
lican national committee in New York next
month will decide something of the nature
of the coming campaign.
SENATOR RLAINE,
too, is said to be among the disafected. He
has never called upon Gen. Garfield, and all
reports OF his intention to engage actively in
the campaign are entirely unwarrantsd. In
Maine there is 10 be union between the
Greenbsckers and Democrats, which may
result in Republican defeat in September.
This combination has been openly formed
and is going vigorously ahead; yet Senator
Blaine has no. raised his hand to do anything
to prevent its success. Last, but not least,
Secretary John Sherman curses Garfield
when among his intimates. lie says that
. GARFIELD BFTaAYED HIS TRUST
al Chicago, and had ne remained true to him
(Shermap) he could have been nominated.
Like Mcdonald ct Cincinnati, wfo absolutely
refused to be considered, when present. as
Hendricks representative, Gen. Garfield
should have refused to stand. The feeble
protest he made should have been bold,
positive denial. He should have said to the
convention: '.Gent,emen, cannot allow my
name to be used without running the risk of
injuring my reputation for loyalty and tar
nishIng my honor" That he did not do so,
and that, after his first weak protest, Garfield
consented, has made Sherman his sworn
enemy for life. He hates with the rsncor-
Gus hatred of
DISAPPOINTED AMBITION,
specially outraged by sense ola trust be-
trayed. Then the Grant people who stand
ct present in the background, are not sure
that it would be such bad thing to have
Garfield defeated. ga good licking" said
Republican to-day, sis what our party needle,
in the interest of discipline and harmony"
-Four years of confederate rule would make
Grant sure of the nomination in 1884, and
give the Republican party more permanent
lease upon the future than any half
hearted success that might CINE TO them
now.
