important committee and attempting to force
the election of his friends, deprived them.

They cannot say much in the future about

Finally. the conf lence of tho whole
country has been shaken as to tho Roman
virtue of the republican party. With its
own hands that party has stripped itself of
the spotless robes of patriotism and phlan-
thropy in which it has been masquorading,
and now confesses Itself an organization
whose end is office and whose means is
patronage.
II isa notorious fact in New York, and
pretty generally known throughout the
country, that Mr. John Kelly, the TEmmany
chief sachem, and Arthur have for u long
time been cheek by jowl aiding and
assisting each other all they could in local
elections, and it is very generally
believed that it was by Mr.. Kelly's assistance
that New York went for Garfield. Mr..
kslly aides with Conkling in his fight with
the president and he even had the sublimity
o. cheek TO 60 to Washington City week
or go ago to try to induce democratic sens-
tors to side with Mr.. Conklng against the
president These senators knew 'the boss"
and declined to recognize or notice him.
His organ, the New York Evening Express
IN Its every issue, has something vile and
vitupersiive to say of the president The
following is the latest sample of its veDomous
spittle We have seen:
Senator Conkling promptly and emphati-
ealiy denied having written, dictated, or
inspired tho long article in the Herald
Against the president, which was so historical
ari so full of interesting information tha. il

OF the administration faction. Now tho

GARFIELD Is evidently in declining way. He
should have begun t. decline sooner. la
TACT, he should have declined at Chicago,
when Editor Halstead declared II was
ridiculous to think OF nominating him, AS ne
mad no character to run upon, aud ever since
his election he has done his level best to
prove that Halslead was right. IL these
veracious and high. minded republican
managers continue to tell the truth about
each other, the country will have all tho
