government, which should be clothed
with the dignity that properly be-
longs 10 il, and not be allowed to be
shanelessly exposed to the world as
the Facilitating and parposeless play
thing Of an insolent and naughty
subordinate. In the clash Of fac
tions, which this bold stroke Of ad-
ministration policy has precipitated,
we cannot see how it will be possible
for Mr.. Conkling to escape disaster.
He is sagacious inexpedient and
bold in execution, but even the
splendid talents which he has SO long
prostituted to bad purposes can
not save him ifthe yigor and pur-
pose with which the President and
his advisers have shown in this last
strategic movement is the augury of
his future policy.
Go to Work Get out n Full Vote.
1t will be seen that Mr.. Kenny re.
ceived the nomination in the Dis
trict meetings held last Saturday, in
accordance with orders issued by
the Democratic Executive Commit.
tee, and that the Committee have de-
clared him'tbe nominee of the DEM
ocratic party. Prof. Kenny is EN-.
inently qualified for the position,
both by education and experience. :
As q teacher, We doubt, if he has his
equal in the State. Now let the
Democrats go to work and get out the
full party vote. Remember the time
is short, the election occurring mex,
Tuesday, but inthat short time much
can be done. Sound the "war.hoop,'
and let it reverberate from mountain
top to mountain top, and from val
Hey to valley, proclaiming to Demo
Gratis everywhere that W. ]. Kenny
is the Democratic candidate for Coun'
ty Superintendent Of Free Schools
Go to the polls and work without
ceasing for his triumphant election
Do not let il be said that the people
Of this county were SO recreant tc
their interests Us to vote for and elect
an inexperienced man like Matt
S. Gibbons, for Superintendent o.
Free Schools. Vote for Kenny.
The following order declaring pos
tai cards unavailable with anything
but the direction on the address side
has been issued by Postmaster Gen
eral James: "On and after June 1
1881, no printing or writing will be
permitted upon the address side Of
postal cards, except that imprinted
thereon at the mandatory, and such
as may be necessary for the proper
direction Of the same. All postal
cards bearing any other writing OF
printing upon the address side are
declared unavailable and must be re-
turned to the sender by the postmas
ter at the Office where they may be
mailed. Such cards may be treated
as Spoiled" and redeemed by any
postmaster upon application of the
holder"
The Republican party has been in
power long enough. 1t has become
so thoroughly demoralized by its
twenty years control and absorption
of hundreds of millions of official
plumber and hundreds of thousands
Of Offices that the leaders Of that par
ty construe its mission to be only
ofice-getting and office-holding.-
Hence its quarrels over mon in its
nominating conventions, and its dis,
sensions in this its hour Of success,
over the division of the spoils. The
recent exposures of abuses that have
crept into the public service, with
the alleged gigantic swindling oper'
! s.ions that are being uhearthcd in
the postal exposures, are calculated
to satisfy the public mid thai It is
high time that change Of parties
should take place. 1t ought to have
taken place in 1SS0-it will take
place in 1884, unless all the signs OF
the times are at fault.-Er.
