THE FrGHT GOES BRAvELY oN.-The
GAzErT stated yesterday that the Re-
publican Senators would hold a caucus
and endeavor TO patch up peace be-
tween Conkling and the President. 1t
seems that the caucus was held but
that the breach in the party has been
widened, Mr.. Conkling having made
one Of his most vigorous and vindi-
cative assaults on Predident Garfield
and his administration.
The Herald says: "Enough is
known, however, to feel certain that
Mr.. Conkling has taken up the gage
of battle thrown down by the Presi
dent in nominating for Collector for
New York a person so offensive to
Mr.. Conkling as Mr.. Robertson"
1t is quite evident from the quarrel
that the Republican Senators, like the
Mexican politicians, are not equal to
self-government, and the Democrats
will have to take the responsibility of
securing competent officers for the re-
spective positions to be filled by the
President. The duty of the Demo-
cratic Senators is clear; they should
only vote to confirm such gentlemen
as they believe to he honest and we'll
qualified.

A PRETTY MESS the Republicans
have got themselves into just two
short months after the Presidents
Inauguration! The millionnnires of the
party in banquet assembled some time
ago greeted with approving laughter"
General Authur's announcement that
Indiana was carried by money, and
now the Presidents friends have
branded the men who secured his
election as disreputable and dishonest,
The branded men IN question plead
guilty, but say that the President
knew what they were about all the
time and was satisfied. When the
Republican managers fan out what
truly interesting contributions are
made to political history!

STAR ROUTE DEvELorMENTs.-It
now turns out. according to the Den
yer Tribune, that Dorsey has been
even more deeply guilty in the Star
Route frauds villainy than has been
heretofore suspected. That paper, of
the 9Th of May, says
st was discovered yesterday that
proceedings have been begun in the
District Court of Arapahoe county

specimens Of Dorsey's letters are
published. We clip the following
from the correspondent of the N. Y,

"One letter is dated Washington

IMPROVEMENT ON THE DELAWARE

IMPROVEMENT ON THE DELAWARE.
1t will be seen from our local col
umns, that the U. s. Engineer pro-
poses to build jetty at or near the
mouth of the Christiana, in the Della
ware, to effect the deepening of the
channel of the former. The plans are
all drawn, and the proposals for doing
the work will soon be issued. A pier
will be built at the end of the jetty on
which a light will be erected. This
will be real improvement, and one
which will be beneficial to the COM
merce on the Delaware, as we'll as to
the Christiana. The light never was
as far out in the river as it should be.

Safe Clothing.

There is probably no cloth
ing-maker anywhere in the
world that is entitled to be
relied on SO completely for
the quality of everything that
enters into clothing as Oak
Hall. 1t would be in bad
taste, at least, for us to say
this, if we hadn't a particular
ly clear demonstration of the
fact.
In the first place we make
clothing enough SO that we
can afford to watch what
goes into ito know what
it is made of. Is it too much
to say that we do know
In the second place every
thing we sell IS liable to come
back to us, if found wanting
in any quality it ought to
have-worse than that ; it is
liable to come back if the
buyer has the least doubt
about the goodness of it.
Which is hardest to be-
lieve, that we make our cloth
ing safe, or that we take such
chances on anything but the
safest of everything?

II Is RnALLY LAUaHABLE to re-

1T 10 REALLY LAUGHABLE to read
the remarks Of the Republican about
the School Election and politics. 1t is
one continuous whine from the begin
ming to the end of the very long art,-
Gle. Any one can see that the writer
was deeply disappointed that major
ity of Republicans were not elected.
1t evidently tries to inculcate the opln-
ion that the paper and its party is op-
posed to carrying politics into the
school election, and yet it chides the
Republicans in the Third Ward be-
cause they did notgetup strong ticket.
1t laments the defeat of Republicans in
all the wards where Democrats were
elected, and invariably points to the
Republicans as being the better quail
lied. The GAZETTE purposely abstain
ed from discussing the election and
remarking upon the qualifications and
fitness of those elected, hoping that
such course might tend to keep the
School Board free from political re-
sentiments. But the Republican never
lets an opportunity pass to work up
party feeling, and prejudice the PEG
pie, when it can, against anything
Democratic. 1t now declares the
election was partisan one. If it was,
who made it SO but Republicans who
formed tickets in every ward If it
was a partisan election, then the
Democrats carried it triumphantly,
showing that the people were ready
and anxious to entrust their public
schools, which they hold most dear, to
Democrats. The GAZETTE has no de-
sire to make the election appear like a
Democratic victory. But since the
Republican has referred to the matter
with political rancor, we find it neces-
sary to say that the Democrats elected
sIeoen candidates and the Republicans
elected six. The Board, therefore, is
more strongly Democratic than it was
last year. 1t is now constituted of IA
Democrats and s Republicans. 1t
was re~organized last night and the
Democrats showed their aversion to
bringing politics into it by re-electing
the old President, who is Republican
dyed in the WOOL"
