The Star Route Cases.

WASHINGTON, March II. - W. A.
Cook. OF the Star route prosecution.
states that his reason for rssiguing was
owing to the evident purpose to freeze
him out, a had been the case with Glib
son and the original detectives employed
in the case. He claims that he received
no encouragement from Arthur's Admin
istration; that the indictments were not
shown him, and cites AZ o remarkable
fact. the purchase by Mr.. Bliss. some
time ago. OF the National Republican for
$40, 900. which he paid Brady, at the
same time keeping on the paper oil the
friends Of the Star route men.
The attorney for the defense stated to-
day that ho thought Cook had made O
mistake in talking. but admitted that he
Cook bad not been treated right.
Cooks resignation is now in the hands
Of the Attorney General. Cook further
said that he was confident conviction
would have followed In most Of the
cases, but for the extraordinary proceed
ines since the advent OF Bliss. which he
did not think nugured we'll for the suo'
ssss OF the prosecution.
The interview eIcites great comment,
and Cooks intention to say more excites
all the parties interested In the case.
He also says the present Administration
does not manifest the same earnestness
in the p%rosecutiop of these cases as that
OF General Garfield, with whom ne had,
he says. q long interview three nights
before the assassination.
Colonel Bliss says the fact that Gibson
and Cook were frozen out Of the Star
route cases is not to be denied. By their
neglect-to say the lsast-the statute si
limitations was allowed to nj agains,
important cases, compelling the resort
to proceeding by information BY Colonel
Bliss. which proceeding was thrown out
by the Court.

.BossIsM."

From the tone Of the Republican press
throughout the East Il may be inferred
that ''machins" rule and ''bossism" will
receive its death.blow In that party next
fall. Ths extent to which this evil has
been permitted to 60 in the management
OF conventions is properly causing alarm.
The indifference Of the people to proper
management Of the primaries made 1t
possible for the machine to gain ascend.
ancy. but they are awakening to q reali.
ration Of its pernicious effects and in the
coming campaign its overthrow is reason.
ably certain. It received q setback at
the Chicago Convention. at Albany. and
at the New York State Convention.
which will be followed BY similar treat.
msnt at every convention to be held.
until II ceases to exist. The Albany
Journal speaks undsrstandinsly when 1t
says the Republican party ia NO respsct.r
Of persons. Its membership not only
know what is right. but they have the
courage Of their convictions. The mass
-ninety.nine hundrsdths-of the party
neither expect nor desire Office. and care
no moro for the dispensers Of patronage
Gas such) than they do for any other
good Republicans. And il is just here
where political "bosses" and ''ma-
chimes have made and will probably
continue to make their gravest mistakes.
They seem TO look upon the rank and
Ale Of the party as 50 many calves in q
barnyard only intent upon seizing the
udder. and sure to remain In the party
paddock so long Is they are held in q
state Of hopeful expectancy. But they
are composed Of nc such material. This
fact renders the Republican party a hard
lot to handle. They are as Indifferent
to party "tafiy" as they arc to the party
lash. and are just as ready to bid good
BY to q party ''boss'' as they are to
smash q machine" IL the n Or the
other venture to arrosats power or do
violence to principle.
The Nevada Republicans are not af.
fictsd with this evil. and therefore
nothing need be done to crush 1t in
their own party. They can. however.
extend to their less fortunate Democratic
friends. who are compelled to submit to
It., sympathy and encouragement to rid
their party OF its baneful influence. That
q fight against ii will DO made by the
Democrats in Storey county there is good
ground for belief. and 1t is to DO hoped
that victory Tor the majority will result
and "bossism" be suppressed. as by that
means, and that only. can men accep.a-
BILE to the people be nominated; and
should the coming election result in Re
publican defeat. 1t will be consolipg to
know that men are elected who have the
confidence OF their party. are not crea-
lures OF the machine" and will not
tolerate ''bossism" in the management
OF county affairs in the future.
