THERE was great cry III New
York that the Conkling Republi-
cans were going to defeat the ticket.
The featherheads spoke with bitter
ness Of this anticipated scratching,
said no good Republican would do
it, ETC., and then went quietly off
and beat every Conkling Republi-
can they could. Tie Conkling men
voted the ticket with the exception
of Hustled, who was scratched all
over the State. He is buried, and
ought to be. The result, then.
while not as satisfactory as we could
wish, proves that, if united. the
Republicans can carry the State. If
they keep up division they will
be beaten, and must expect to be-

Editing IL Newspaper.


There is one editor who has achieved
the feat of running newspaper to suit
every body. Occasionally, to be sure, he
has complaints. but he never fails to sat
isfy the compainers that they are in the
wrong. 1t wasn't always so with him.
He only adopted the system after he got
desperate twas one day after he had
received seven complaints, that he tried
it. A man came in and said: why IN
Tophet didn't you print the whole of the
proceedings of the society for the preven-
ton of cruelty to hogs, instead of brief
abstract ?" The editor replied: "Oh,
YOU made speech that wasn't in the re-
port, ehy' Then he went around the
counter. The dust flew for few mo-
ments and then it became more quiet.
The editor relaxed his grip on the mans
throat sufficiently to let him speak. and
he said that he guessed the article was
ali right, and he had only come to renew
his subscription. He was let up, paid
the money and left; and as he went out
he collided with man who had an ugly
glare in his eyes, and dancing up to the
editor said: "What dye mean, sir? !
pay for sensible newspaper. and here
get lot of stuff about cruelty to hogs.
, You ought to be put in Jail for printing
such rot" The editor went around the
/ counter again, and again the dust flew
, and cries Of Take your teeth from my
{ FEAR" "yT4eg go o me nairs" ETC.. were
heard. 1t was full five minutes before
. the editor could get the mans coat tori
, off and put him on the floor with hi
, head in the coalscuttle. But he did it
r at last. Then he jumped high in the All
and sat down upon the mans stomach
2 and the yell the man gave, echoing IL
| the coal-scuttle, sounded awful. Th
: editor was about to repeat the operation
r but the man said I'VE needn't prolonj
this agony. Your paper Is the best in tn
e world. 1t is all right. I'll take it TO

FACTIONAL FIGHTS.
DissensiOns in the Republican Camp
Who Wrote the MOrey Leiter!-
Trouble Ahead-Grant Still
in the Field.
Special to the Plain Dealer. /

lSpec1al 10 tnP ram Deher.l
WASHINGTON, March 10. The Republi-
can National Committee. which was in
session here few days ago is said to have
wrangled bitterly over various matters,
and threatened to remove Secretary Dor
sew. A member of the committee now
in this city says that the reason for the
threatened removal os Dorsey is his fail
ure to account for the large sums of
money sent to him during the last cleo
tion while he was managing the cam
paign in Indiana. The sum amounted to
about 1850, 900, which Dorsey claimed
was all expended in the campaign, but
that it is not necessary for the credit of
a party that specific account of the ex-
penditures be made. To this Chairman
Jewell objects and rupture has been
imminent for some time.
Another point in the discussion is the
Morey letter. Jewell is still hunting for
the author of the letter. He has spent
considerable money in this purpose. and
is seeking subscriptions to continue the
work.
To this expenditure Dorsey objects as
useless, and there is difficulty over it.
| Among the persons who have recently
subscribed to the fund for ferreting out
| the author of the Morey letter is Abram
S. Hewitt. He sent Mr.. Jewell $tO0 and
told him to draw on him to large
amount if there was any probability Of
! getting at the real author Of the letter
1t is said Mr.. Hewitt is still firm in the
belief that General Garfield signed the
! letter, if he did not write it. The story
now is that Garfield signed the letter
without reading it, while busy in Con
gress. Whether this be true or not there
is division in the Republican Nationa
Committee over the advisability of spend
ing any more money to detect the autho
of the letter.
Still another question of dispute is th
adoption of the proposed new plan TO
electing delegates to the national Con
ventions. Blaines friends want the del
egates elected by congressional districts
This the Grant men object to.
1t is matter of serious division and
is said to be the cause of Grants presenc
in Washington. AS soon as he reache
there he had a consultation with ConS
ling, Logan and Cameron, and mean
were taken to defeat the proposed pla
of the Blaine men. This is regarded a
good evidence that Grant is still in tn
field of 1884.
The recent dinner which Dorsey CAV
himself at Delmonico's has caused bitter
ness. Jewell was not invited and Dorse
attempted to use the influence of TIL
men at the dinner to sustain his cours
in Indiana and show that it is not neC
essary to account for the money. Fl
also wants. it is said, the place of Colle'
tor of the port OF New York in paymer
of his campaign services, while he ask
: that Clint" Wheeler be made Postma
ter of the city or Second Assistant Pos
master General. These appointments 81
both bitterly opposed. In turn, IL
f Grant men oppose the appointment I
: Jewell as Minister to Russia, a positio
/ he is now seeking. There is troub
ahead for the Republican factions" W;
J. the remark of the committee men.
