lust surprise. Is it part of a dishonorable

We learn two very interesting facts con-
corning ex-senator Conkling's candidacy from
his personal organ. They relate TO the
grounds upon which his reelection is urged.
In the first place. this gentleman having been
during his term of political service the paid
attorney of some of the largest corporations
in the country having derived more rev
enue from "bloated monopOlios" than
any other two or three Senators: and
even now demanding, as one Of the con-
ditions upon which he will consent to save an
imperilled country by reentering its service,
that he shall have for a colleague an officer
of several largo corporations, is running us
an anti-monopolist an opponent of corpora
ton influence. Second, this gentleman. who

n call for caucus was sprung by Speaker

two ex-Senators, aided by the Nice-PreSldent,

moment the movement for Garfield became de-
fined, Sherman and Blaine tclcgraphcd their
supporters to join in il, and when the nominal
tions were made both of them at the same in
slant sent their hearty congratulations and
assurances of support The relations of Sher-
man and Garfield were particularly delicate
and were fully appreciated by the latter. In
the midst of his sudden and unprecedented
triumph ne stood among his Ohio colleagues,
all of them pledged like himself to the support
of another, and said, with that fresh impnlslye-
ness of spirit which will always keep HIM n
young man if he lives to be centcnarian ;
" Now, Moulton, Batcman, all of You, If any OF
you think we have not all done our best for
sherman, will decline this nomination at the
"cvening session." But there was not then,
nor has there been since, the slightest cloud Of
Jealous feeling between Garfield and Sherman,
o. between their friends. sherman did all that
man could do to elect the candidate whom the
Convention had preferred before HIM. and from
that hour to this it is safe to say that not one
Senator has asked OF received fewer iayOrs for
his friends, and not one has been more liberal
and hearty in his support of the President, OF
moro frank and conscientious in his counsel.
SO far ~ the outside world may know there Is

dent. as there is certainly none who more de-
serves t.

Many people are inclined to apologize for the
our late Senator on the ground that it is the
way Of politicians 10 quarrel. and that he is no
worse than the rest But the fact is, hc is u
unique specimen. There is not another man in
public life who is 50 malignant and wrong
headed. For an Illustration of another kind of
public man-thc sort that bears disappointment
like gentleman and statNsman-look for a
moment ut the way John sherman has borne
himself during this last eycntful year We
prefer to speak of Mr.. Sherman because it drives
Mr.. Conklmg and his friends into Mysteries to
speak of his favoritc foe, and because the
Maine statcsmau's inycterate good humor is
known of all men.
Mr. Sherman was n candidate for the nomina-
ton at Chicago, with n strong, compact body
of supporters. He cherished an honorable
ambition to be President; he had given proof
of high qualities of administration which were
n guarantee that he would be good President
if elected. But lac never for one moment spoke
to his most intimate friends and adherents rs if
his private interests were To be considered be-
fore the interests of theparty. When the i'm
Dol tant discussion of the unit rule came up he
telegraphed to the gentlemen who were manag-
ing his canvass that he wished them to support
the principle OF district representation without
regard to its effect upon his canvass. When,
Just before the balloting began, rumor came
over the wires that there would be break for
