Party Above Faction.

The New York destructives appear to
have been silenced. The general opinion
is that there is to be harmonious Re-
publican State convention to-day. The
sensible men of the factions which have
been opposed TO each other have decided
TO continue in existence the Republican
party. The power of the present Admin
istration, like that of the one Immediately
preceding it, is great in its very silence.
The Stalwarts, having no purpose but to
prevent vicious men from taking the
State convention by default for factious
purposes, find the leading men of
the opposition entirely willing to aid
in checking the antics of the Tribune
gang. They made demonstration enough
to show that the latter kind of cattle
would not be allowed to form party
having no enemies but Republicans. In
short, it is asccrtained that the Repub-
liCans have majority in the Republican
State convention. The Republican wing
of the Republican party will never de-
mand anything but the right to maintain
Republican principles against Republican
traitors and Democratic allies The
scheme for pelting Mr. Conkling with
mud under the protection Of funeral
procession is believed to have fallen
through.
We rejoice atthe prospect ofaunited Re-
publican party in New York. Ifby-gones
are really to be by-gones, and if the best
Republicans in the land are TO be spared
the assaults of foes within, they will be
able to deal old-time blows TO foes with
out, One Republican party is better than
two. None is better than one which can
find no better occupation than stoning its
prophets BY their fruits shall ye know
them, To-day's work will tell the story.

stanley Matthews, Family.

Associate-JustiCeS Stanley Matthews and
his wife and eldest daughter have arrived in this
city from Glendale, Ohio, and will remain
through the winter. Their other children nrc at
school, except their eldest son, who is to be mar
ried in December to n young lady Of Glendale.
This marriage is in all respects pleasing to the
family and especially as It is to occur soon after
Justice and Mrs. Matthews leave the house in
which they have lived twcnty-scven years, for
their son and his bride are to occupy IL after the
wedding. As all their children were born in
that dwelling and those they have lost have died
there they feel less reluctant TO leave It, knowing
that 1t is to be their sons home during the first of
his married life, than they would II forced 10
close 1t or let II TO strangers. The elegant resi-
dence they are building here will not be COM
plcted in time for them to occupy 1t this year, so
they will bonrd until IL Is rendy.

Republicans and Democrats.

Nervous and timid Republicans are re-
minded that in former years our party
was opposed to the Democratic party, and
the result was that the Democratic party
was opposed TO IL. If the Democratic
party has now for several years appeared
to be in favor of our party, let it be re-
membered that it did not forget to fight
ours on election day. The Democrats do
not really expect Republicans to be Dem
ocrats or to believe that they have
changed their politics If the Republican
party will return TO the paths of virtue
and cease illicit relations with the
Democratic party it will be much
more respected by the latter
and better treated. The Democrats will
take all they can get, but they have men
among them who would not block the
wheels Of Government even if the Re-
publicans should adhere to the principles
they advocate so loudly in political cam
paigns. 1t is proposed that Republicans
shall recognize the Democrats as their po-
htical enemies and cease TO battle against
Republicans. That element of our party
which has been in secret league with the
BOurbons for The destruction of Repub-
licans and Liberals will have TO return 10
its allegiance or be publicly exposed and
denounced The past is consigned to
oblivion. The future must be free from
such trciso

Garfield Memorial HospitaI.

Among all the monuments and memo
rails erected and proposed to pepetuate
the honor and memory of our late Presi-
dent none will come nearer to the hearts
and sympathies of the people of entire
Christendom than the Garfield Memo
rial Hospital which our citizens propose
to establish in this beautiful city.
Costly marble and bronze may be
erected so high as to pierce the clouds or
so broad and beautiful as to cost mill
ions, but even then that charm in the
character &C Garfield which attracted to
him the hearts of the people of the civ
ilised world would not be commemorated
or symbolized.
The one characteristic in his life which
was exemplified and illustrated in our
city more touchingly than any other was
the domestic. His filial love and rever-
ence for his aged mother, his devotion to
his wife during her illness, soon after his
Inauguration, his delight in and fatherly
affection for his children, his own unex-
ampled suflerings, and the cheerful,
manly, and dheroicmanner ofbearing them
have attached the hearts of the people to
him in bonds of heartfelt sympathy. 1t
is believed that in no other way and in
no other city any such opportunity exists
which will afford such ready and timely
expression of this rs in contributing to
the establishment of a general hospital
in the city where he lived so many years
ofhis brilliant life and where he was so
cruelty and ruthlessly shot down in the
zenith of his glory.
The Government closed and finally
purchased the building in which Lincoln
was murdered, and converted it into q
great medical library and pathological
museum. 1t is now proposed that the
building in which Garfield was shot down
should be converted into an hospital
where the suilerings of the living shall
be assuaged and the ills which aAiict our
citizens and the many strangers falling
sick in our city from all parts of the
country and the world shall find the
means of relief and cure.
1t is believed that should this move
ment receive general Endorsement ready
and quick response will be made from all
quarters. The meeting tonight at Lincoln
Hall, appointed by the Commissioners in
this behalf, should be well attended by
our best citizens and Government Off
cials, and an impetus given to this sym
pathetic and humane movement which
will be felt in all parts Of our broad land
.. There seems no doubt of the success OF
the enterprise if the control of it falls
into proper hands. All cliques and
doctors and citizens quarrels and jeal-
ousies should be ignored, and all should,
and it is hoped will, work heartily and
earnestly toward the full accomplish.
ment of this excellent purpose.

As TO that little pleasantly on the part
of Mr.. Rowley, of Utica, concerning the
desirability ofassassinating Mr.. Conkling,
itmust be observed that Rowley is one
of the better class of Republicans. Every
body knows that it would be very wrong
Cor good man to be shot, and everybody
ought to know that Mr.. Rowley ought to
know who best deserves to be shot. The
litter which goes around at the idea of
obiecting to the shooting of Mr.. Conkling
convinces us that goodness was never so
good rs at present. By all means let
Rowley decide who shall be shot and who
shall live.

A TREASURY OFFICIALS weALrH.
Upton Accused or Having Accumulated
e25O,oOO ON n salary of o. 800.


The Sunday Gazette published an inter-
view with an anonymous person, in which
history Of Assistant Secretary UpoA OF the Treas
ury, was given. Itaccuscd him Of having been in
the civil service in the Treasury for many years.
his average salary being 81 800 year; that he had
accumulated farm in Iowa worth $4,000 and
block ofhouses In Washington worth $4,000, beside
having 100000 In United States securities, lalso
said that the claim Of McEwen, ex-1ndian agent,
for s25O0O0, which was considered fraud and dis
allowed by First Comptroller Lawrence, was AFTER
ward allowed by Upton's reversal Of Judge Law
rences decisions that $50, 900 havebeen paid upon
IL. OF which McEwen had not received cent, and
that II was asserted that the $4,000 was divided
between Upton and a lobbyistn Washington, who
passed for Journalist Upton's share being $4,000.
To-day Mr.. Upton began the preliminary proceed
ings for q case OF libel against Colonel Richard
Hinton, the editor Of the Gazette Colonel Hinton
said tonight that an action of this sort would be
welcomed by him, because he then would have
an opportunity ofproving, as he had the best OF
reasons for believing that he could prove, the truth
OF his statements affecting the integrity Of Assist
ant Secretary Upton Washington dispatch TO NetO

mfr. Upton stated yesterday tllathe had received
q letter from Colonel Hinton, the editor of the
Gazette which stated that the editor was response
bic for what appeared in the paper. In view Of
this Mr.. Upton says he will take no further steps
and will probably let the matter drop. He states
that there is no record in the Department Of any
such claim as is mentioned In the above article
ever having been before the Department, aud that
the other statements referring to his personal ai-
fairs are utterly false.l
