Garfield Explains the Letter.

The Presidents attention having been
called to the above letter to-day. stated that
there was not line in the letter that he
would nave the slightest objection to giving
to the public that the Star Route contrac-
tors were neither mentioned nor thought of 4:
that 1t was simply the expression of hope
that Brady, citizen of Indiana. who was
reported to have made an immense fortune in
Bell telephone stock. would respond from
his ample means in aid of his party in the
life and death struggle then going on in his

The Deadlock Broken.

The deadlock in the Senate is at last
broken. The republican Senators have
yielded to the necessity of going on with
the public business. 1t is very doubtful
il they will again attempt to elect Senate
officers at this session. The power,
though revolutionary and dangerous
one. remains with the democrats To pre-
vent the election OF Senate officers, and
they will probably use it and extend the
session to next December rather than
yield the position which they have taken.
Their course admits Of no justification.
Even If there were bargain with Ma
hone-which they have signally failed n'
show-they have no right to go to the
verge of revolution in opposition to it. il
is wrong in itself. aud it establishes a
precedent and example for wrong and
trouble in the future which render it de
serving Of a severe popular rebuke.
The first business that the Senate will
engage in will be the confirmation Of nom
nations to which there is no objection on
the part Of Senators. This will soon be-
disposed Of Then will come the ques-
ton as to the disposal OF nomination,
over which there is a disagreement. Il
is said this will cause an acrimoniou.
contest - particularly the nomination
Of Mr.. Robertson, which Senator Conk-
ling will oppose with all his power.
because he was not consulted con
corning it by the President. This nomi-
nation is undoubtedly one OF the very best
that could be made. Judge Robertson is
a man Of spotless integrity, of large ex-
perience in public affairs, able. honest,
level headed. man whom the strictest
application of the Jeffersonian test Of quail
ificatiOn for office would show to be emf
nently fitted for the position to which he
has been nominated. There is no ohiec-
ton to him on the score of qualification or
fitness there can be none. But Judge
Robertson is not a personal follower of
Mr.. Conkling. He was the leader against
that Senator in his attempt to east the vote
Of New York n unit in favor cf the nom
ination of General Grant at Chicago. For
this reason the New York Senator opposes
his confirmation. Ii would have been
useless for the President to consult Mr..
Conkling in regard to the nomination Of a
man who had opposed him in such mat
ter as this. though that man was clearly
right-as Robertson was-and Conkling
was as clearly and positively wrong, for
Mr.. Conkling brooks no opposition. OPP
poses every man who does not bend to
his DEGREES and wait upon his wishes.
The President has done his duty. He
has made nomination deserving of
prompt confirmation by the Senate. We
trust Mr.. Robertson will be confirmed.
His course in opposition to the unit rule at
Chicago is endorsed by the republican
party. 1t was right. 1t was manly. 1t
was bold protest against Cmsarism in
this country, and for this he certainly
ought not to be struck down but rather be
elevated as reward for his conspicuous
fidelity to popular rights.

CHICAGO. May i, The Times has letter

Small Game.


 The friendship of the Boston and Albany managers for the New York, New Haven and Hartford road has not for years been very tender. In the Canal road matter the Mass achusetts corporation got very badly left. But in spite of jealousies, misunderstanding and competition it is still small game for the directors of the Boston road to meet, and vote not to lease the New Haven road at g per cent, and then let that vote be telegraphed all over the country. It is too much like cheek not to mention the look it has of an effort to scheap- en the property. Perhaps when the Boston and Albany should offer to lease the New Haven road for per cent. it's managers might be told that the company was already paying 10 per cent. that it earned still more :; and that really the stockholders did not care to lose ope-tenth of their yearly i'm come even for the glory of being swallowed up by Boston corporation. Altogether this performance. as it now stands, is piece of remarkable impertinence and forcibly suggests the remark of the pretty maid that tsNobody asked you, sir, :" she said

One thing can be said in safety, in spite of the lavish promise of the great bill-boards, no one in the vast audience was disappointed in the show. The hippodrome features stirred up the audience to the highest pitch of excite ment. There were flat races by blooded horses, with male and female riders. exciting hurdle races, Roman standing races. two and four horse chariot races. and the stirring h. dian race for wife.
