POLITICAL POINTS.
Tho nauocr<

The Democrats have no reason to
complain if the Republicans like the fun
of killing off their great men. There
is no shame in the confession that Mr..
Conkling is very large stumbling
block taken out of the Democratic path
way.
An independent contemporary
says: 1.-THE Republican party is not
dead yet" No. it is not. But it is on
its last legs; both legs are going in OPP
posite directions, and the strain will
prove too much for the rest Of the body.
-Indiana State Sentinel.
The Republican idea of an "era
of good feeling" is different from the
Democratic. To the Republican breth-
rem it means merely that the "Stal-
warts and s.Half Breeds shall shake
hands across the public crib and be
happy again. We shall wait to hear
President Garfeld's definition of it be-
fore entering on the Democratic idea.
Washington Post.
When Mrs. Garfield had finished
reading a newspaper account of the first
days excitement and the state of public
feeling. the President, stretching out
his hand and placing it in hers, ex-
claimed: "Jt's people worth dying
for. isn't it?" Aye, Mr.. President, and
its people worth living for and giving
them pure, reformed, and National
Administration. --Detroit Free Press.
MIR. John Sherman must have felt
trifie small when the dispatches in
formed him that Secretary Window had
restored to the Commissioner of Inter-
nal Revenue the control of nominations
in his department. Sherman
took that power away from Commits
sioner Raum. because the latter was q
Grant man before the Chicago Conven-
ton and refused to aid his (Sherman's)
political schemes. The whirligig Of
time is unerring in its revolutions, and
always brings its compensations.-

official at home or abroad. What sig
nificance had the contention between
the stalwarts and half-breeds in the
Chicago Convention of 1880 but the
"spoils"p Guiteau was and is child
of the "spoils SYSTEM" because he
looked to a change in the Office OF Pres
ident and in the heads of the seven
Washington Departments simply as
promising general removals from Office
for party reasons, and therefore as
promising a vacancy and an appoint
ment for himself. How can any man
doubt or deny this? Abraham Lincoln
was not more clearly sacrificed to tho
slave system than President Garfield to
the .spoils system" But for the
power and the practice OF general re-
movals following change in the per-
son of the President there would have
been nothing to set atire the weak brain
of Guiteau with murderous hate of
President Garfield. The power to make
such removals must be taken away by
law and by public opinion. and the
practice of making them must be
stopped. There is no more need OF
such general removals and no more
sense in making them in the civil serv-
ice of the Republic than in the army or
navy or in the judicial departments.
The thing to be prevented is the max
ing of removals tor party reasons. and
competitive examinations before APP
pointments must be tried as means OF
checking wholesale removals! Let
good Democrats consider what was said
in Mr.. Tilden's platform, adopted in
St. Louis in 1876, on that head!-M y.

Guiteau's Inspiration.

1t is to be regretted that Republi-
can newspaper, usually so sensible as
the Providence Journal, should show
signs of disposition to put obstacles
in the way of an utter humiliation of
the spoils system. These signs, to be
sure, are not conclusive as to the ten
but they are noteworthy nevertheless.
The Journal argues that the chief mo-
tive which impelled Guiteau to his
crime was q desire to DO talked about,
and that the existing spoils system did
not lead Guiteau into temptation. This
theory of Guiteau's motive leaves out of
the account altogether Guiteau's ad-
mitted indignation because the Presi-
dent did not include his name in the
list of new Consular appointments. 1t
also leaves out of the account the testi-
mony concerning Guiteau's participa-
ton in the canvass of 1880 as friend
of Garfield and an enemy of Hancock;
concerning his applications for diplo-
matte or Consular appointment; con-
corning his appeals for aid to prominent
Republicans at the East, who answered
him that as he hailed from Illinois he
AuoS0 ACiy VA CStClu DdCkiuk, COu-
corning his call upon Mr.. Jewell, the
Chairman of the Republican National
Committee: and it especially leaves out
of the account the letters prepared by
Guiteau to be published alter his
crime was committed. In those docu-
ments Guiteau clearly says that his
strongest wish was to make Mr.. Arthur
President WhyP Because Garfield
was half-breed and Arthur was a
stalwart. Can any one reason intelli-
gently or safely about the motive or the
impulse behind the shooting of the
President who takes no account of all
these fatal facts! Guiteau was an Of
fice-seeker, inspired by the average
purposes of the average American Of
fice-seeker, which are to get the pecu-
mary emolument which attaches to an
Office and to secure the qualification of
his personal vanity. Garfield and
Blaine had rejected his claims. Did
not Guiteau reason as logically and as
correctly as q majority of the stalwart
workers do when he said to himself:
''H the stalwart leaders can be put in
power there will be general removal
of the half-breeds from the Offices?
Do not majority of the stalwart lead
ers intend that such removals shall be
made if Mr.. Arthur becomes President
by the death, or Acting President by
the inability, of General Garfield
What beyond this do the brutal and
selfish stalwart and half-breed political
tramps see in the piteous condition of
the illustrious sufferer If the Provi-
dence journal means to be quite candid
with its readers it will tell them that, if
Mr.. Arthur is President. the precedence
OF the "spoils system will encourage
and impel and even justify him in
the removal Of every half-breed

Ended at Last.

The long contest at Albany is ended
at last and the country is to be congrat-
ulated, if not upon the result itself, at
least upon the fact that result has
been reached. The deadlock had be-
come a dreary disgust to the public,
and everybody is thankful it is over.
1t will be chiefly memorable because
of the unclean methods OF New York
politics and bad morals of New York
politicians which it developed, and it
is to be hoped that the lessen of the
revelation will not be wholly lost upon
the constituencies that are thus triHed
with and misrepresented.
The election of Mr.. Lapham win be
memorable for the reason that it sealed
the Senatorial fate of Roscoe Conkling.
which Mr.. Conkling himself had al
ready precipitated by his petulant and
ill-timed resignation.
Nj. Conkling, therefore, is not to be
congratulated; neither is he the sort Of
person who needs or seeks commisera-
ton. He owes his present discontinue
to his own folly. His fall was in obedi-
ence to the res;stless law of gravitation.
He leaped from the Capitol. and there
was no angel to bear him down unhurt.
In the Senate he was power for
good or evil-greater than any of his
colleagues. Out of the Senate, in the
way and under the circumstances that
he went out. even though the antago-
nism between himself and the Admins
tration had become intolerable. he was
shorn of his strength and was forced
into the very slums of Albany to rally
his henchmen to the rescue.
His resignation was a complete dis
armament. His miscalculati0n OF the
effects OF his action was much more
than political blunder; it was phe-
nomenon of intellectual obliquity, that
must have startled his subsequent re-
Elections.
The outcome is what was to be ex-
pected. To the Administration Repub-
licans belong the victory, such as it is,
and the congratulations, such as they
are. The election of their candidates
is of course to be accepted as a vindica-
ton of the prerogatives of the Execu-
tive against partisan dictation. though
in the rough-and-tumble of the late
struggle, the real issue-the great
pTluClplc at Stdkt-W0S IuOLC VI lcoS
lost sight of, as the contest degenerated
into merely sordid scramble for the
spoils.
AS to the Democratic members of the
Legislature, they have borne themselves
throughout with a sense of dignity and
a steadfastness to principle that not
only command the respect of the whole
people, but will add largely to the
prestige and power of the party in New
York.
Out of the smoke of the battle the
Republicans emerge divided and de-
moralized. The defeat of one faction
is the triumph of another, it is true, but
household divided against itself can
not stand. The Democracy, upon the
other hand, were never more firmly
united. 1t is the Democracy, indeed,
who are most of all to be congratulated.

Not long ago the body of detect
i've named Primm was found in the
ce1.etery Of . Russian town called
Smolensk, where the unfortunate man
had been murdered in cold blood BY the
revolutionists. Primm, it appears, had
learned thats meeting Of conspirators
was to be held during the previous
night IN the battle-ground, and, dis
guieod ~ lab0ring man, had joined
the assemblage for the purpose Of iden-
flying those present. 1t was his i'll
fate to be recognized, seized and con-
demned to instant death. Several of
the conspirators held him down while
one Of their chiefs deliberately cut his
throat from ear to ear; thus, at least,
runs the confession of two men who
were subsequently arrested upon sus-
picion of being connected with the Sc
cret associations, and who, it is alleged,
have frankly acknowledged their COM
plicity in the crime.
