There are hints in correspondence

President, were he so circumstanced as
to fully appreciate the groveling syco-
phancy and unadulterated diabolism
that prompted them. Mr. Conkling and
his immediate associates, in opposing
Federal appointments which they be-
lieved gravely prcjudciol to national

their detractorg have sought to achieve
on the other side by means so revolving,
SO wantonly wicked and despicable that
only those stepped in intolerance or
moved by abject servility to those in
power would have stopped to their use.
But if this effort to ingratiatc themselves
does not prove n wretched failure the
intelligent masses behind the Republi-
can standard-bcarer in last falls contest
greatly erred in their estimate of his char
acter. Certainly nothing in the high grade
of fheroic qualities developed and brought
to light through Guiteau's exploit leads to
the supposition that President Garfield's s
favor can be secured by means soinfamous
and instinctivcly repugnant TO every sem
timent of honor and good will to others.
And next TO the assault itself, nothing in
connection with it has so shocked the
moral sense of the country as this attempt
to turn national disaster into channels
ofpcrsonal aggrandzement through bru-
tally mendacious insinuations against in
