Is Guiteau the Only Mailman!

The hatred felt by the half breeds"
of the Republican party toward Vice.
President Arthur, Mr.. Conkling and the
stalwarts of their own faith has grown
more intense with every hour that has
passed since the assault upon the Presi-
dent. While decent men not involved
in the internecine" quarrel between
these two factions over the spoils of the
public service have been moved to tenn
perance, and charity and thankfulness
by the daily increasing prospect of
President Garfields recovery. that
prospect has only served to unleash the
rabid rage of the "half-breed organs
in the press against the rival faction.
The preposterous nominations of lap
ham and Miller were confessedly made
under the impression that the stalwarts
would not dare to oppose them for fear
of mourning still more direct imputa-
tions of completely with the disappoint-
ed political tramp who sought to take
the Presidents life. If the only effect
of all this were TO hasten the dissolution
of the Republican party. which has SO
long outlived its usefulness, Democrats
at least might look on in silence. But
it really shows that what has been
called the madness" of Guiteau,
"madness" born of greed and the lust
of the spoils, has got into the very life
blood of the Republican politicians
generally, and this not because they are
Republicans, but because they are
politicians. In other words, it shows
that if the American people do not go
back of Guiteau and of his crime to deal
with the system which has engendered
creatures like Guiteau and made posi-
BILE such crimes as his, the whole fabric
of our public life will simply rot and
fall to pieces through its own corrup-
ton.
1t is plain from the evid ,nce in the case
of Guiteau that he was what is called q
republican worker" He had no other
visible means of support than his reli-
ance on the "spoils" to accrue as re-
wards to him for his activity as a Re-
publican worker" His latest "work'
was TO aid in the defeat of General
Hancock. He made one or more
speeches during the canvass in favor of
General Garfield. One speech of his
certainly was printed. 1t was circu-
lated as Republican campaign docu-
