How the Great Men Talk.

Washington Corr. Chicago TimesI
All the mem hers of the Senate.
rial syndicate are more than OPP
posed to fighting for success under
Garfield. In conversation with
their friends they use very plain
language about Garfield. They call
him q canting Ohio hypocrite, who
has had his hand in every job at
Washington, without the courage
to avow it. Indeed, IL 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 tao
tics of the Garfield people. By
this course since the Chicago Con-
vention they have alienated the
Grant people almost beyond repair,
instead of making an attempt in
the interest Of harmony. In a fight
where q com munity of interest and
sympathy is so essential, nearly
every thing which would conduce
to that end has been steadily, and
with the blindness of folly, neg
lected. A prominent Illinois Re-
publican, who was identified with
the Grant fight in Illinois, said to-
day: 1--WE were treated badly
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 the destruction of the par
ty; but 1t is not good policy to be
continually telling us of 1t and
then ordering US into line to work
for the salvation of the party I'M
der their lead. They cannot win
without US, and their constant an.
tagonism and criticism of US will
wear out at last even the most
rigid sense Of loyalty to party"
This sort of talk is very conn mon
among the Grant Republicans.
IA good licking" said a ReLub-
lican to-day, "is what our party
needs, in the interest of discipline
and harmony" Four years of Con-
federate 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 come to them now.
