IN the habit Of selling whiskey to
the Indians, and a short time since
an encounter occurred at one of the
saloons between the keeper and an
Indian, in which the latter was shot
and killed. Since that time the
feeling between the two races has,
it is said, been growing intensely

How 1t Looks Through Democratic

AS an abstract question no one
can truthfully deny that Garfeld's
treatment of Conkling has been
shameful. Conkling and Grant

most important Office in New York,
was a display Of ingratitude, males.
tic in It's baseness. This is the
moral view. Politically, the Presi-
dent had right to do as he did, and
having taken the position there was
no back down short of practically
Indicating the White House in fav.
or of Senator. While the Globe
comedies the ingratitude, it rejoices
at the action of the President, as it
is apparently the beginning of the
permanent disruption of the Repub-
lican party.
