The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1881-06-23

THE NEW York Herald now assumes the
task Of the formation of new party and
wants Mr.. Conkling to be lis head and front,
it, great Jupiter Tonans and Msgnus Apollo
II argues that tho time is ripe for such action
aid that the good men OF both parties loving
th' country and devoted to its progress, and
Its good, and honest government will flock TO
it in every state by Thousands. Tho Herald
doea not outline the principles of It's new
psrty further than to array it against the
administration, but it is loud if not fulsome
In It's eulogy of Mr.. Conklng as its leader
saving: Mr.. Conking cannot stand whining
aholt the White House. or in the outskirts of
tho Republican party. He must 20 ahead.
If there is not room enough in tho Rspubl.
can party for himself and NJ. Blaine there
is plenty Of room outside. Mr.. Conkling
will do the country m,re good rs tho leader
Of an opposition than as hsndcuffed sup
porter OF the administr ,tion. The country
needs genuine opposition. We have had
an ignorant. laundering, rsmshsckle concern
cal I'd the Democracy, but it did no good"
And.again tho great organ declares: ut is
to tho best interess OF the country that We
shonli have an opposition party that will
crtic'se, stimulate and restrain tho admins.
sration-a party with men at its head who
will not close their eyes to governmon.
Irregularities. No man In the country Is
better fitted for this task than Mr.. Conklinc.
His personal character, his elOquence, his
courage, bis energy, his national renown as
statesman, all combine to make his position
commanding. Whather he is returned TO
the senate or not, his course 10 laid down 10

yet failed in any duty to the republican
party. When many ofthe men who now

higher duty before him nova duty to his
country. Ho cannot DO accused of deserving

SJsrsest terms that II has no further use for
him" Turn about Is fair play tho world
over, and how would II do to try tho "ign, r
ant, laundering, ramshacklo concern, called
the democracy" awhile? Foe twenty
years the republican party has administered
the Affairs Of tho federal government
and of a number of state governments aud
with unparalleled corruption and nfsmy
not only in this country but in tho sntals of
the world, while the democratic party for
the long term Of years previous 10 this
twenty years of republican power. was never
corrupt, never had steslings and briberes,
and election frauds nor ignominy of any
kind laid at its doors. In The states of the
Union where the democratic party has been
In power since the war, there has been hon.
eel and economical government, plenty and
prosperity have blessed the people; there
have been low taxes and material progress
