Case.
While we have iusi I'D lot only on ttt
falsehood but tho malice ohaIseterizps
the attempt of small ooteTle Of pnlit-
claus in Dover to put Into the mouth If
Senator Bayard words be did not utter,
aud statements inconsistent with IL
known facts in the Phelps, Dodge IL 90
case, we have never sought to deny or
soften the meaning Of the words he did
use in referring to that scaudn-
lous job, and the connection with
it of the senior Senator from New York
MIR. Baysrd did Nhsrge participation in
most disgreceful affair on the perso,
siuce chosen Vice President Of the United
States, and he likewise charged that Soma
tor Oonking was implicated in It, The
extracts from private letter written by Mr..
Baysrd winch we printed yesterday show
that he does not take back anything ht
really did say.
There are people who will doubtless
think that such charges are very sever
ones to bring against men occupying,
however unworthily, high public station,
but they were made, it must bs remem-
bered, when one of the parties concerned
was candidate for the second plec'
within the gift of the American people,
and when it was known by all mel
that he was such candidate simply
by the will OF Senator Conkling
1t was, then, the duty of every public ma
familiar with these facts to proclaim
them, and when the attention of the peo-
pie is fully recalled to the matter it will
be those who knowing and remembering
the truth kept silent that they will blam
anu not those who cried aloud against thi,
shame ere it was yet too late to save our
people from punginS into it.
But severe as were Senator Bsyard',
words, they pale beside those we reprint
elsewhere from the New York Tribune
same editorial Management which now
directs it. MIR, BAyard made the sham,
of Arthur, Oonkl!ng and Cornell pl4i,
enough, but it was the Tribune
after careful examination of tn,
whole case and the connection of OoHk

will not forget again.
