TRUE sTATENANT.
The Garfield republicans, and they com
prize nine-tenths of the republican party
everywhere, have only the best of wishes
for Pesident Arthurs complete success in
which he succeeded. In carrying out the
programme issued by the president OH be-
ing sworn into office, neither he nor any of
his friends will lack legions Of warm and
enthusiastic supporters. frali-

UNGENERous.
As Mr.. Cyrus w. Field is the man who
suggested the creation of the fund for Mrs.
Garfield, as he contributed literally to it.,
and as he has used great exertion to induce
others to do so, it seems really ungenerous
| for some of the newspapers to accuse him
of desire to gain notoriety by his action
in the matter. Such an attack supplies
another proof that there are some men who
always follow the suggestion: when you
see a head rise above the crowd hit it!'-

SEVERE TEST.
A severe test is now applied to the party
in New York The causeless strife which
was precipitated by the fearful designations
of the senators, called forth an avalanche of
censurc and rebuie upon those offenders,
and demonstrated the temper and strength
of the constituencies. The death OF Car
| field has not changed the affection and con-
| fidence of the people Tor him, and their dis
trust of his enemies and their condemna-
ton of themt Those enemies are trying
to mount to power over his open grave.
They aim to use the New York convention
to that end. They threaten an unseemly
contest there rs they have created disgrace
| c,1 rbnp IN cnyaro1 cp,infina # the
state committee shall behave only decent,
| fair organization can be effected and the
convention will lay deep and strong the
| foundations of permanent peace and power
for the party in New York. Those who can
advise that committee have much to
answer for.-Utica Herald.
THE DESPERATION OF THE MACHINE IN NEW
1t is hoped for the good of the administra-
! ton that the report that Mr.. COnkling will
make no further effort to control the New
| York state convention has good foundation
| 1t has been evident that the ex-senator is
determined to secure from the convention
what he mey regard as vindcation of his
| course in rcsigning and in seeking re-elee-
| toin to the senate. Such II course must be
regarded rs q renewal of the contest which
involves the approval or disapproval OF the
| Garfield administration, 1.-THE state con-
vention should approve Conkling's course,
| such approval cannot be otherwise regard
ed than a censure of the dead president The
raising of the question in New York at y
time when the entire republican prrty is
disposed to sustain the new president would
be unfortunate in the extreme, since many
of his friends must be acting with Mr..
Conkling. Mr.. Conkling' henchmsn, as
we have before stated, are, by their inso-
lence, recklessness and trickery, stirring up
a very bitter conflict in the party.-[ Boston

GOODBYE, TUTHILL.
Has this public forgotten Tuthill? Let us
trust not Tuthill was the member of the
last assembly through whom Mr.. Conkiing
shot his frey speech against the "icrocious
and atrocious'' persons who took him at his
word when he resigned. Tuthill oflicated
in this capacity several times, and as the
Conkling rhetoric is not built for fluent and
easy delivery, Tuthill was much exhausted
by the operation. This service does not
seem to have been favorably received by
Tuthil's constituents, for at the recent re-
publican convention in his district the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted unanimous
ly on a rising vote: Resolved, That the ac'
ton of the legislature in concurring with
the designations of ex-scnators Conkling
and Plat, and in filling the vacancies thus
created by the elections OF Hons. l.. q
Lapham and Warner Miller, has our cor
dial approval; and that the acti on OF Mr.
II. IL. Tuthill, our present representative
i'm misrepresenting the well-known convic
tions of this assembly district, has our utter
condemnation"
The time seems to have arrived for saying
goodbye TO Tuthill. IN. y. Tribune.
