Mr.. Blaine and the Conspirators

Mr.. Blaine and the Conspirators.
The attempt to implicate Mr.. Blaine in the
Star-route frauds and to embroil him in a quar-
rel with his associates in the Cabinet is re-
vived. 1t is tho desperate and transparent
game of daring swinders who are being re-
morselessly hunted down and who are convuls-
lively trying every resource in the hope of baf-
fling the relentless pursuit. But this brazen
and shameless attempt will sgnally fail, just
as every other movement on their part has
come to nought.
1t was to be expected that these conspirators
would make violent effort to save them
selves. If anybody supposed that the cam
paign against them would be simply a grand
dress parade and an easy and unresisted march
to complete conquest, he little comprehended
their true character. They aae cool, bold,
crafty, resolute men. They are skilled in the
arts of intrigue aud adopts in the game of per-
sonal politics In the prosecution of their
schemes of plunder they have studied political
influence and connections as a means of pe--
sonal profit, and they know how to turn all the
agencies and weapons to account. Such men
are not going to surrender without a strenuous
fight. They have everything at stake and
will struggle with desperation 10 avert the
word which hangs over them.
But thus far their efforts have not been
marked by any great success. They have in a
general way squirted their vilification at all
who have been engaged in the movement
against them, but it has made. no impression.
Their more special demonstrations have been
equally impotent. They began by mysterious
hints that General Garfield, as a presidential
candidate had written a letter which involved
him in direct appeal for help from the Star
route ring, knowing its character, and thus at
tempted by threats of exposure and disgrace to
frighten him off from the pursuit. The answer
was the prompt publication by the Presidents
friends of the letter itself-a letter which was
entirely unexceptionable, and which on its
face refuted the imputation. Bat the conspir-
ators did not stop. Publish the Hubbell letter,
they cried-the letter to which General Gar
fields was response-and that will show the
true meaning of the guarded reply. The chal-
lenge was met the Hubbell letter was printed;
IL contained no reference in any way to the
Star.route contractors; it was entirely proper
in every respect, and that movement failed.
The next step was this attack upon Mr..
Blaine. Its object was to stir up difficulty be-
tween him and his associates in the Cabinet
who are pursuing the frauds, and thus to en-
barrass and thwart the prosecution. Such an
attempt shows the utter desper alton of the
conspirators. The accusation is a gross and
unfounded aspersion. There is no shadow of
evidence or reason to warrant it. The paper
through which it first found publication has
acknowledged that it was not sustained. But
though thus completely discredited and repu-

SENATOR SHERMAN, in his speech at the
Ohio convention, said: SIN our politics
there never has been, and there never will
be, room for primate or boss. The man
who attempts it had better make his will
beforehand; and, fellow citizens, congratu-
late you upon the auspicious opening of the
Administration of James A. Garfield. We
know Office seeking is undoubtedly the prop
er pursuit of mankind. There may be some
dlsappointments, because there are fewer
places to fill shan men willing to fill them.
But in the main, the general principles and
policy OF this Administration are in harmony
with the aspirations of the Republican par
ty. The people of Ohio are satisfied with
the Administration, 1 believe, as it now
stands believe can say, in advance of
the resolution that has been or will be Of
fered, that Gen. Garfield has the emphatic
approval of the Republicans of Ohio in the
course he has pursued thus far. Let him
further advance the public credit; let him
punish all who do wrong; let him give us
an Administration pure, simple and Repub-
lican, worthy of a nation like ours, and we
will send him our approval twice over again.
But, my countrymen, we have got some
thing to do in this task; we have got to en-
phasize our approval by endorsing this Ad-
ministration in the election of the Republi-
can ticket this Fall''

Tale OF Two Cities.

Day before yesterday there was dis
graceful scene in the House of Parlia-
ment, London, caused by an attempt on
the part of one vf the members, Brad
laugh, to force an entrance in spite of
the fact that he had been ordered to
leave the floor of the house because of
being an atheist. He was met at the
door by the Sergeant-at-Arms and
pitched down stairs by the police. Yes
terday a similar scene WAS enacted in
Virginia city. Col. Stone walked into
the room where the County Commits
sioners were seated with his hat on.
Chairman Caravan ordered him to take
off his hat. Stone did so, but was so
wroth that he came very near removing
his coat and vest also. a lively eX-
change of words ensued and the Chair
man was asked to produce the law on
the subject. He was unable to do so
and pleaded an old-established custom.
If Caravan gets away with this business
County Commissioners all over the
State will be putting on as much airs
as Congressman and Senators.
