me-" said the gentleman, .Pattison is
going to be square, but he won't make
any friends because he is too square. We
can't be going to him and get any favors
done. That won't suit men in modern
times.'

into debate, shat the politicians do not
take much stock in Pattison."
Harry Hoyt, you know Harry" said this
person, she is our governor now. the Re-
publican governor. Harry says that re-
formers do great deal of good in this
world and they get their reward in the
next world. Ha! ha! hap said the GENTLE
man.
"Well" said I, DESTROYS to change the
subject, for it was morally heavy, ssHoyt
has not been doing Pattison much harm
has he ?"
Oh no, Harry's with us. He's for Pat.
tison. He wants to smash the Cameron
machine. No machines have done SO
much to make uprightness in Office unfash-
lonable as the two great machines of New
York and Pennsylvania, one of which has

ton patronage.

contributed tolerable vote to Hamilton
Fish, DR., the son of his father,
who was Grants secretary of state. This
young Fish distinguished himself fort
night OF so before the convention by say
ing to Republican public man that he
wished the newspaper press could be abol-
lshed. He was speaking about the.New
York Times and its criticisms on ex-Sena-
tor Conkling. He said that he wished
there was no newspaper press in America.
AS q reward for uttering the sentiment
which Governor Berkely proclaimed in
Virginia two hundred years
ago young Fish got a much larger vote
from the machine convention than any
body ever expected, 1t was ne, who, when
his father vas secretary of state, according
to the Washington tradition, lost more than
his pocket money playing cards at Minis
ter Catacazy's. and the fact was treasured
up against Catacazy, and helped to swell
the indignation against that minister of
Russia, so that when the
grand duke Alexis visited America
the minister was not allowed to say one
word except officially, and was virtually
sent out OF the country by complaint of
his master. Young Fish went to the legisla-
ture for time, and made very few friends
there. BE was not gentleman anywhere.
Id thought it polite in conversation with
his Democratic associates to utter the SEN
| tlment that 1t was impossible for a man
to have any conscience or character and be
| Democrat. Those whom he considered his
interiors found him a small-minded snob.
and to his sup ,riors he toadied as might
have been expected. Without any proper
self-respect, any real capacity or any real
manliness, it is astonishing that Repub-
| lican state convention should have given
such coxcomb as this any considerable
recognition. Robertson says that French is
forger and scoundrel, and that he rep
resented Robertson on the committee in
the same way that man puts another's
| name on check and draws the money
| on it.
what kind of person, then, is
this French, if Collector Robertson, tells
the truth, to be sitting up nightly with the
president of the United States? But there
is, unfortunately, suspicion in the COM
munity that Robertson is not square, and
that to enjoy the position and emoluments
of collector of the port he stayed away
from the convention, Indifferent as to what
became of his seat in the state convention.
| If he had been man of
strong, political purposes, it seems
that he never would have
left to such band as these stalwarts the
disposal of his seat. Arthur has nomina-
ted Foiger. 1t has been done by Arthur's
men in particular. If the president should
undertake to say to some well-informed
man in this state that he had no hand in
nominating Folger. he would stand good
chance of being told that he lied. Now
Arthur wanted to nominate Folger, as he
will desire to elect him, because the gov
ernor who will take his seat the first of
next January will not get out it of till the
first of January, 1886. During that
term another president of the United States
is to be chosen. and Arthur desires that
this governor he has tried to make shall
help to renominate and re-elect him.
THE prorer way, then, to rebuke the
presidents attempt is to defeat his candi-
date
"There is a frst-class opportunity for
scratches this year. The people are hardly
aware of the formidable nature of the gen

by this nations administration. The
Republican party has used all
the instrumentalities within its reach
ever since 1864 to accomplish elections.
but when Mr.. Lincoln ran for the second
term, although he was supported by the
army contractors and the vast interests
making money out of the conflict, he used
his power for high ends, and the end al
most justified the means. In 1868 Grant
