HUNT THE RASCALS DOWN.

Garfield is in the tolls. Not because
of the warfare with Conkling nor of the
split in the party of which he is nominally
the head, but because he has been de-
tected in practice which has long OBJ
tanned in political campaigns, -drawing
from the treasury of the United States
for party purposes. This was done un-
der the guise of law by employing a
horde of deputy marshals and supervis-
ors, whose nominal duties were to protect
the ballot box from fraud but whose
actual and well recognized duties were
to work in the interests of the party
through which they were paid at public
expense. The people are willing to
connive at any and every indirect method
Of diverting public money from its legit-
innate channels, but will not overlook
any palpable and indefensible dishonesty.
Hence the appeal of Garfield to bleed the
departments in his interests as candi--
date will find no defenders and but few
apologists.
Jobbery and rascality will prevail des-
pite the most strenuous efforts of those
public officers whose duty it is to see
that the offices of the people are managed
with economy and honesty. But when
peculation is encouraged by those per-
sons to whom the people delegate powers
to be exercised for the public good, the
country is in deplorable condition
The systematic system OF swindling de-
vised by United States officers during
Grants administration; the CONSERVATION
which seized the whiskey thieves when
it was discov cred that Bristow meant to
unearth th cir villainy, must be fresh in
the peoples minds. The charges, which
if not fully proved, have never been
successfully refuted, that manufacturers
of whiskey had assurances that their dis
honest practices would not be revealed
and that they would be allowed to persist
in defrauding the government, if they
would contribute literally of their i'll
gotten gains toward the campaign fund
raised to aid in the election of Grant,
cannot be forgotten. The dismissal of
Bristow for daring to do his duty to the
people, the escape from punishment of
the di shonest officials in league with the
whiskey thieves, the pardoning of the
whiskey thieves themselves by the presi-
dent, are blots upon the nations history
which cannot escape a retrospective
glance.
And now comes another blow in letter
written by candidate for the presidency
and one whom the peoples votes raised
TO that high eminence, advising dishon-
est practices in the departments SO as to
raise fund to secure his election. Grant
ostentatiously demanded that no guilty
man should escape, but his power was
used to shield the guilty from well mer-
tied punishment. Garfield advised that
the poor rascals who counterfeited his
handwriting should be hunted down,
while he himself had instructed the
bleeding of the departments in his inter
ests as a presidential candidate. Yes,
''hunt the rascals down." but let the
mighty, who can practice dishonesty with
impunity be honored. Hunt the rascels
down if they be friendless, but shield the
guilty if they stand in high places.

GARFIELD has given proof of unexpect-
ed stamina at the expense of his reputa-
ton for Judgment. He was always re-
garded as having greater degree of
prudence than courage aud his assuming
the offensive il the Conkling war is a
new revelation of the man. But it is
much more difficult to have admiration
for the fighting qualities of president
in war of factions, than IN The incum-
bent of less honorable Office, whose
duties do not make intrigue disgraceful.
The president is invested with a degree
of power which makes the opposition of
senator insignificant, and when the
executive wills to carry on war with a
senator i'll the matter of distribution of
patronage, lie soils his official robes and
lowers his dignity.
Garfield can break Conkling's power
in New York, because no senator can
maintain himself without rewarding his
friends. The friendship felt for the pol
ltlclan has its source In selfishness. In
ability to reciprocate favors is break in
the circuit, which prevents favors from
coming in either direction. Conkling,
with all his faults, is no demagogue, but
he cannot sustain himself by the force of
genius alone. The president can break
the power of the New York senator in
the state which he has SO long represent
ed. But what is gained by breaking
Conkling down and building Blaine up (?
The substitution of one machine for
another is business inconsistent with
the dignity Of the executive Office and the
people have not so much confidence in
Blaine as will make them applaud the
change of autocrocy in the empire state.

NOTWITHSTANDING the eagerness with
which places are sought on the republi-
can state ticket, there has not been for
years such feeling of uncertainty as to
the success of the ticket of that party in
this state. We predicted after the pres
idential election of last fall, that the
solid south would no longer obscure
local issues In the different states, and
that the republican party would be forced
to conduct campaigns on other grounds.
They cannot change their tactics. Victory
has clung to them SO persistently. through
appeals to sectionalism that they are On
accustomed to any other mode of warfare.
They fancied that this cry made attempts
at an economic administration of Affairs
unnecessary, and as a consequence the
power they held has been abused.

MILWAUKEE was excited on Tuesday
over the introduction of The tactics of
Russian nihilists. Two MOS made up
of nitro glycerine and peat, powerful
explosive, were thrown near the track of
the st. Paul road by concealed parties.
One exploded, but strange to say did no
injury. 1t is believed 10 be the work of
the striking switchmen.

THE fight between Conkling and Gar
field is a republican row and is none OF
our funeral. Still it is party policy for
democrats to back Conkling If they had
not sufficient ground for doing SO on
principle. Garfield can sustain q defeat;
Conkling can not The defeat of the
latter would be the crushing out of all
opposition to the republican wing in har-
mony with the administration. The
democratic policy should be to build up
ConkIing SO as to make him formidable
rival of the administration, not to crush
him out and thus leave the dominant
wing so powerful that it need fear no
opposition within its own ranks. To
strengthen Conkling is to weaken the
republican party as it tends to equalize
the strength of the contending factions.
