UNlpPRECATED FIRTUE.

Prulabiy tie meaning of the bribery story
among the Couspirators in Name Is apparent
even to tyros in politics and to the bilndtSt
Of partisans. As soon as the opinion OF the
Supreme Court on Governor Garcelon's points
WAS made public some of the members VINO
had been counted in declared that they could
not in conscience, accept certificates TO Nhlch
the highest judicial authority IN the State had
decided they were not entitled. This was very
crcditable behavior yet we do not know Why
ANYBODY should be surprised at II. The ease
was 50 plain that thc.e could hardly be two
intelligent opinions about the proper course
for these gentlemen to take, aud We do not
believe that either in Maine or any other
State of the American Union all the personal
integrity and public virtue will be found III
one party.
When Fusion members began to act accord
ing to their con,cicnceS, the managers OF the
conspiracy took alarm. for ii conSclcntlou'nesS
should become epidemic their cause would be
ruined. Then it was that sensational rumors
OF bribery flew through the air. Men came
forward vino sworc that other men, not
named, had introduced them to still other
men, not known. who offered them, Oh the
part Of Republican politicians, not specified
thousand dollars 20 stN out OF the LceiSla-
ture: land if you do not believe U.s. they

The object Of The uick j. maui!c't. IT
was not so much to bung the Ecpub-
licans into discrcdt as to Discourage

Voter and Snow knew that hc would bc held
up TO public suspicion by hi own party as a

way Wei, perhaps the Republicans should be
content. The loss of the State could not have
done the Fusionists half as much harm as the
means they have employed 10 ave 1t. They
have given notice to the world that conscience
has no place in their party and tha, they cam
