REPUBLICAN, orators and editors du-
ring the late campaign boasted of the
putty of Hayes Administration! but
investigationsintot the Star postal route
swindles are demonstrating that it was
about as corrupt as that of Grant under
the whisky ring.
1T is reported that Hayes will make
his predictions and express his hopes
of Republican success in Ohio on the
stump. Wouldn't it be a capital idea
for his ex-Fraudulency to make Star
route Dorsey his " companion du vOy-
age" to explain to the people the great
purity of the Hayes Administration ?
Since the Republicans are in favor
of q free and fair ballot everywhere
they ought to move at once to wipe out

quires foreign born citizens to own real

The ..Dear Hu bbeii, Letter.


A leading Republican says about the
Hubbell letter: 1T was written after
consultation, and with full knowl-
edge that it was to be shown by Brady
to the Star contractors to let them un-
derstand that Garfield knew all about
it in fact that it was he who was pass
ing the hat for their contributions.
Garfield might just as well deny the
best known fact i'll the world as to de-
ny to such of us as We're inside this
explanation of the circumstances under
which the Hubbell letter was written.
He may just as well deny writing the
letter itself as to deny the circumstan-
ces, the objects, aud results of it.
" 1t was just this: There was sore
need for money to carry Indiana. 1t
was thought if Brady had the right
kind of IA letter from Garfield, he could
get contributions from the Star people,
Just what they were Garfield knew
perfectly well, and from the investiga-
tion in the House the previous winter.
Besides, he was told why they would
give. His letter to Hubbell was to fit
the case. He would have written any
other to fit the case. The very least
Garfield can now do is to keep silence.
Brady manifested more conscience
and prudence than Garfield in the
matter. don't know what he would
not have done to get money to carry
Indiana just then. 1t will not do to
put on an innocent face Ia some of us
now. Garfield is perfectly enveloped
by completely with things which the
Hubbell letter, explained AS L have
explained it, forms part. That letter
belongs to the category of epislles prin-
cipals in Wickedness write to pals"

THE Republican leaders boast that
the administration is determined to
pursue the Investigation of the Star
postal route swindles until the bottom
facts are all brought to light and every
one of the thieves connected with
them brought to merited punishment.
Yes, they will do that thing just about
as they punished the whisky ringsters
and the Credit Mobilier and DeGolyer
pavement swindlers. They are great
fellows to unearth and punish the ras-
calls of their own party-they are. But

startling Sensation in Political
Circles.


Circles.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-A bomt-
shell burst in the Senate soon after 1T
was called to order this morning, in
the shape of the designations of Sena-
tors Roscoe Conkling and Thomas G.
Platt, of New York. The communi-
cations were in the usual form, and
were addressed to Vice President Ar
thur and announced that the resigna-
tiOns had been forwarded to the Gov
ernor of the State of New York, and
requested having announcement of
the fact formally made to the Senate.
This announcement was received by
the Senators present with genuine sur
prise, but the Senate Immediately pro-
ceeded to the transaction of routine
business at II: % o'clock went into ex-
ecutive session.
The absence of Senator Conkling
from the meeting of the committee on
the judiciary this morning was the
first intimation ofany trouble brewing,
but there was no time for conjecture
before the announcement of his resig-
nation was made. This coup d. etat
is said now to be " hat was presaged by
the Senator's famous speech in the
caucus u few days ago, as reported by
the National associated press. 1t is
the" stalwart" method expressing dis
gust at the policy of the President in
ignoring the Senators from any State,
in filling the most important offices in
the State, and his action leaves the
Democrats in a majority in the Senate. {.

THE friends of Garfield and Con

THE friends of Garfield and Conk
ling, during the campaign and until
recently, denied the existence of Sc
cret treaty at Mentor, made during the
crisis of the fight. We now hear lam
entations from the Grant guard about
Garfield violating the provisions of
that treaty. A party to that syndicate
was Dorsey; hi, duty was to save In
diana; he did his work with money,
which Beecher says was sublime; and
he was more potential in making Gar
field President than either Conkling,
Cameron or Logan. They have all
lived long enough to curse the result of
their work, but not repentant enough
to turn from their evil ways.

THE monetary conference at Paris,
from which so much was expected,
does not appear likely to arrive at any
definite conclusion. There have been
protracted discussions. but no conclu-
sions have been arrived at, and the
conference will probably adjourn in

THE worlds fair that was projected
at New York, and to take place in
1888, having been abandoned, Boston
has taken up the idea and proposes to
hold an exposition in 1885. designed to
illustrate the progress made by the
world In art, science and manufactures
during the past decade. The leading
capitalists of the city have taken hold
of the matter, and have determined to
make it brilliant success.

The resignation of the New York
Senators on Monday has created 3
grand surprise throughout the coun-
try, aud their action is generally con-
demned by the Republican press and
politicians everywhere. 1t is thought
that COnkling and Platt will be re-
elected by the Legislature of New
York, which is now in session, and
this will be regarded as an endorse
ment of their course and a rebuke to
the President from the Republicans of
the Empire State. This act gives the
Democrats majority in the Senate,
and will enable them to elect the
Speaker pro tenn of that body. The
war in the Republican ranks has al
ready begun, and whatever action the
New York Legislature may take, it
will be impossible to heal the breach.

The Democratic Party.

The Democratic Party.
Although the Republicans have said
that their chances of carrying the
State this Fall are not as good as those
of the Democrats it behOoves the latter
taken for granted that because the Re-
publicans have said that the odds, as
they now stand, are against them, that
the Democrats should not work, for on
the other hand, it is still more neces-
sary that State, County and Township
their workings. After the defeat OF
last fall there should be something
learned, and if that defeat was due in
any measure to fault or flaw in the
party organization, such should be
lesson, and the fault at once corrected.
If the principles for which the Demo-
Gratis voted last fall were good and just
then they must, of necessity. be good
now and forever, and because defeat
instead of victory was ours, the reason
why we should enter the coming cam
paign with courage and determination
is all the more plain. If the Republi
cans despair of carrying the State this
fall, as they have, there must be good
reasons for it; if they loose confidence
in themselves and the work that they
place confidence in the " managers ?'
The Rep.-Dem. of April Goth, in an
editorial, gives the why's and where
fores that Republicans should be on
the alert. 1t says: 1.-The Republican
managers cannot rely on an October
victory based only on April housetop
proclamation" Well, if the 'Repub-
lican managers" cannot rely upon
April housetop proclamations,i it stands
to reason that the Democrats cannot
rely upon the proclamation of the
Z" Republican managers" who said af-
ter the Spring election that the State
was nearly as good as lost TO its present
" managers" 1t will be q political
good of considerable size Ito the
country if it should turn out that
President Garfieid's State be captured
by the Democrats next October.
good of considerable size to the people
if it continue to be captured from its
present 80 Republican managers, and
go into the hands of the people, for
they are amply fitted to govern them
selves, without the help of managers"
To accomplish this it is necessary that
as much or more work be done by the
people than by the Republican man
agers," and it is the duty OF all to see
that it be done.

United States Senators declared that
they would rot go into Executive ses-
of the Senate. The Democratic Sena-
tors said: mo; we will go into Ex-
ecutive session first. That is the bus
mess the President called us together
to transact, and that is first in order"
The Democrats carried the Day. The
Republicans finally yielded and voted
with the Democrats to go into Execu-
tive session-a thing they could have
done gracefully two months ago.
