Gorham Comes to the Rescue

How narrow the dcfile upon which
General MALONE Is now walking is clearly
evidenced by the following letter from the
superseryiceable GoRHAM. Read il. and
read between the lines:
WASHINGTON. ID. G., December s. 1881.
Dear General.-I had conversation with
the President this evening. In
the interview which has been so grossly
misrepresented he was told that it had been
stated that he was taking part in the mat
ter i'm behalf OF Riddleberger. lie merely
stated that he had not interfered at all. He
suggested that Senator Lewis have friend
~ talk with you on the subject. The Pre-
Sident expressed no desire as 10 the politi
cal antecedents of the man who should be
elected, nor did he say one word which,
correctly stated. would in the slightest de-
gree cmbarrass YOU or call in question your
course. On the contrary, he desires it
understood that he has no views which in
any manner conflict with the friendly sem
tlments hitherto expressed TO you by him.
Very truly, yours,
GEORGE. GORHAH.
Hon. William Malone, Richmond, Va.
Now observe. GORHAM's paper denied
the conversation out-and-out on Thursday.
II said:
"Therc l. no truth in the statement put
forth by several newspaper correspondents
last night that this call was made for the
purpose OF enlisting President Arthur in
the movement TO make Hon. John i. Lewis
the next senator from Virginia. Not q
cord reIdtiUe TO this matter lcdS said TO he
Presidenf.'
First above he admits that there was such
q conversation with the President, and that
e good many words passed "relati'. c to the
matter" Of the senatorship.
Note again: Mr.. ARTHUR denied that he
had interfered for or against RIDDLE
MERGER. He suggested that Mr.. LEWIS
should talk to General MALONE. Why
Because he thinks the Republican claim so
strong that he cannot doubt that General
EAHONE will agree TO elect Mr.. LEWIS.
The New York Graphic says the President
said he believed General MALONE would
support Republican for senator. The
President did not say word which, ''cor-
yectly stated" would embarrass the Gene
raj. OF course not. Who could embalrass
him? But the closing sentence caps the
climax: The President has no views which
conflict with-whatY With RIDDLE
BERGER's candidacy? No, sir. He did not
say that. No views which conflict with his
friendly sentiments to General MALONE
Try again, GOEHAN But don't forget
what class Of people ought to have good
memories.

GrS GRANT WRIT Two EEfTERs.--Why
should Gen. Grant interfere in such u matter as
this2 In what way does he share with the
President responsibility for making nc ncmnations
to office or with the Senate responsibility for
approving or rejecting such nominations Of
what particular interest is the appointment of
collector for the City of New York to him that
he should write two indignant letters from tho
City of Mexico about il? Unhappiy he leaves
no room for doubt on the subject. Indeed the
frank simplicity with which he shows his hand
in the matter would be amusing if it was not
mortifying. "When the first batch of nomi-
nations for New York was sent in,' he says, II
was delighted" Why? Because they were
supposed to bc nominations pleasing to the
senatorial group" who had sought to pack the
Chicago Convention. Because they included
the names of men who had supported the third
term scheme. Il believed the President had
determined to recognize the Republican party
that is, the minority of the party that had
failed 10 nominate Gen. Grant, "and not fac
tion''-that is. the majority of the party that
had nominated somchody else. If he had stop
pei here the case would have been clear enough
and bad enough. But Gen. Grant las deter
mined to make his self humiliation complete
The nomination Of Mr. Robertson, he goes on
to say, ..cuuvincId me that it was but part of
! a deep laid scheme by somebody to punish
prominent leaders for being openly friendly to
me-
We have always believed that it would be bet
| ter for his reputation if Gen. Grant had never
| taken part in politics, even III the broad national
! sense of the term We are quite sure that his
reputation must suffer from this un:imely and
! ilitcmpercd interference in Ectious, unwar-
rantcd, and incfcctu;u< struggle for the control
of partisan patronage. The popular answer to
| his unfortunate letter has anticipated its publ
| cation. When this exhibition is made of him
by himself and his friends the fight for which
he enlisted is already lost. The only remaining
consolation is that Gen. Grant at least would not
have encouraged Conkling ani rnt to rctrea:
in shameful disorder from the field which he
says should be contested Ito The bitter end -
There is some satisfaction, small rs it is, for Il
