NEW foBk, March 29.-The Times, in all
editorial on the trouble caused by Robertson
says the position of the cabinet pending the
squabbe, is no. likely to be an edifying one,
| nd l., l..l. l.
with its ridiculous that with its serious side.
Unfortunately for the president it is not one
in which he will have the moral support Of
the people as against clique of politicians.
In making vacancy to accommodate an ac-
tive representative of a faction of the republi-
can party in this state, he not only invited the
opposition of the dominant faction, but acted
on the principle that public offices of the
highest class may be used as counters in the
game of party supremacy. That is game
which, ifhe is to play, the president must
play with God deal more fneness than he
has recently exemplified. The gentlemen on
the other side eau give him odds and beat
him with comparative ease in any such trial
OF skill as he as challenged them to. ,.

their state, because lie had made himself
odious to the republicans there before stump.
ing for the democratic candidate for governor.
1t is said now that Senator Miller, of Califor-
na has fatally compromised himself with his
peo''e at home in the first month of his term
by his support of Gorham. Democratic per-
sistency in the senate has therefore secret
encouragement from the republican side, and
will continue to have this, unless the repub-
| llcan nominations are so revised as to elimi-
nate Gorham and Riddleberger, the latter net
on account of any objection personal to HIM
self, but because the senators do not relish the
appearance of anything which smaks of a bar
gain.
