CONKLING At CINCINNhTT.

In an unfortunate, not to say an evil, mo-
ment, the Republican local campaign commit
tee decided to lodge Senator Conkling in one
OF the second-rate earavanssries here. and to
have him speak to the Republicans of Cincin-
natl at the Highland house.
Thus begins special dispatch to the Chi
oago Tribune of date the first of the current
month, and as may be inferred it is en-
elaborate apology for the failure of the New
York Senator to awaken any enthusiasm at
his Cincinnati meeting. From the Same
vsrscious chronicler We are informed that
the attendance was small and the enthusiasm
at low ebb. Both results may be traced.
from Republican standpoint, to the fact
cited.
But it is fact, heretofore noted in these
columns, that Senator Conkling is not over
jealous in the campaign now in progress. He
went into the Chicago convention under the
impression that he would be the dictator of
its proceedings. He failed to take
that sminence, and has ever since cherished
a sore head. His oratorical efforts since
the nomination of Mr.. Garfield have not
been remarkable for their brilliancy, nor
have they contributed in marked degree to
the success of the Republican cause. Hence
the conclusion that there will be no tears
shed in Oonkling's neighborhood in case of
the defeat of Garfield.
1t was fortunate for the Republican cause
in Ohio that Conkling was 80 uncomfortably
situated that he could speak but for few
minutes. II he had spoken longer he might
have destroyed what little hope the party of
that State have Of success. The Republican
party in Ohio is in bad straits. It is loaded
down by an unpopular local ticket, and by
Garfield as Presidential possibility. Even the
local pride of the State cannot overlook the
glaring faults in the career of the man who
is now before the people asking for the high
est Office within their gift. They cannot for
get that Mr.. Garfield accepted brides for his
influence while member of Congress, no,
can they forget that he has ever proved to be
friend of the moneyed mon az opposed
to laborers. The evil deeds that men com
NIT during life always live long enough tc
haunt them whom they are candidates for of.
fee, and Mr. Garield's evil doings are nu.
merous enough to serve for political capita
for many campaigns. They are sufficient
however. to serve for the present, and to
snow him under popular majority of near
ly million votes.

The local Republican cauldron boileth furieus-

wish to insult the Republican party of our CITY
by insinuating that there are not more than
three candidates in the city district, for there
are numerous patriots who are willing to saori-
fee themselves. but tomorrow afternoon, O.
o. Pitcher, Joseph Burger and Clark W. Gill
more will each go into the convention with
delegates who will stand by them to the last
bitter end. There are seventeen delegates in
the city district, requiring eight to Nominate.
These are not far from equally divided between
these three men, and the interesting question
about the contest is whether the supporters of
one will swing over to another, or whether the
favorite Republican policy of dark horse will
be adopted. To-day we wonder, tomorrow we
shall see.

The dispatches from Washington of re-

country. They consist of limitations tina,

rior,or the acting attorney general have don,
thus or SO. Almost for the first time since
the Inauguration Of the government, all de-
partments are in the hands OF "aoting" sec
retaries. Er. Hayes is away junketlng in
California, while Mr.. Wheeler was last hoard
from at a fish pond in the northern part OF
New York. Neither sof them have been in
Washington for month, nor are they ex-
pscted there for month to come. Mr..

in Ohio in company with Mr.. She. man; Mr..
Ramsey is with Mr.. Hayes on the Pacific
slope, and is incidentally doing a little DO
itical work; and Mr.. Devens is somewhere
else making political speeches. Not single
head of department is at his post of duty.
All of them seem to have other fab to fry

the actual secretaries until it shall please

The people pay the man who occupies the
Presidential lofics fifty thousand dollars a
year, and each member of his cabinet eight
thousand dollars annually. It is presumed
that in return for these sums of
money some service is rendered. But here
We find the entire administration, from the
dc jurs President down, of on political
missions, and no one at Washington to at
tend to business but lot of clerks, without
responsibility or standing before this coun-
try. 1t is also given out that these will be
given vacation of nearly menth, that thew
may go to Ohio and Indiana to perform DO
htical service for the party that furnishes
them with bread and butter.
This habitual neglect of public business
Is one of the reasons why the people want
change. When a merchant EMPLOYS man
for specific purpose, he expects that he will
attend to that duty, and not commit it to
the porter or errand boy. So the people of
the country at large feel las to those they
employ to manage the government. There
are certain duties to perform, and they
should be attended to by those who are re-
sponsible for their faithful performance. |
