POLITICAL.

The recent appointments to high off,
cial positions OF Conklipg and Sargent
BY President Arthur. serve to verify the
o~ft.repsatcd saying that the Garfield.
Blaine wing OF the Republican party
need not expect any favors from the
present Administration. "No Hail.
breeds need apply" is virtually written
over the doors Of Mr.. Aithur's rooms.
That the Stalwsrt wing Of the Rspub-
iican party intend to continue the work
they have begun. to light it out On this
Iine," is plainly evident. Following
their outrageous attacks upon Mr.. Blaine
comes the speech Of Emory A. storrs at
the recent anniversary dinner Of the
Lincoln Club In New York, . speech
doubtless prepared for the oecssion.
The speech Is. in part, a..iind Of ofaclsi
pronunciamsnto. giving the Hsli.brssds
notice Of what they may expect. In
the course Of his speech this Bombastss
Furioso Of the S.alwart wing. referring
to the administration Of President
Hayes, said ~ had rather have Q thou.

years Of foul. snsakiug. clustering. s..'y

This language Ia more severe on Mr..
hayes than was often found In respect.
able Democratic papers during . heated
political campaign. And. II should 30
remembered. 1t Is the uttsrancs OF .
prominent man In the Republican party
"a "hish.toned" Stalvart. The con-
fict OF Mr.. Siorrs-the Stalwart con-
fict-has begun. but whether ID will last
Q thousand years. or more than three
years. will depend upon The people in
1884.
But for Mr.. Storrs to condemn the
administration Of Mr.. Hayes. appears
to be in very bad taste. When COM
pared With the administration Of Grant
1t stands forth bright as the MONDAY
sun against Egyptian darkness; as tho
reign OF Augustus or Of vsspssian COM
pared to the reign OF Calisula or OF
Nero. The attempted civil service re-
form OF Mr.. Hayes was NO donbt athorn
10 the sides OF the Storrs' kind OF men.
one Of tho results Of its working having
been the removal Of Mr.. Arthur (now
accidental Presidency from the New
York Custom-house. 1t 10. therefore.
no q for wonder that Mr.. S.orrs en-
bracsd the first favorable opportunity to
relieve himself OF his pent-up feelings
with regard 10 the administration Of Mr..
Hayes.
So far a. one may forecast the future.
II appears tha. the course pursued BY
the Stalwarts Is bound to disrupt the
Republican party before the Presidential
campaign Of 1884. And 10 ono may
Judge OF intentions by acts. II would
seem that the Stslwart leaders desire
that end il they cannot crush Mr.. Blaine
and the Half.breeds without so doing.
Rule or ruin is their motto. Rather
than Mr.. Blaine shall receive the Presi-
Dental nomination in 1884 tho Conk-
liug-Arthar.Sto rrs faction Of the Rspub-
licau party would hopslessly divide the
party-yes. would overthrow this gov.
eminent. and on its ruins establish .
monarchy with Grant as King.
But 10 The Stalwarts possess no other
principles than those OF revenge and q
determination to obtain the spoils Of
Office. perhaps the best thing that the
old.time Republicans can do. those who
fought the early battles Of the party. IL
to form . new political organization. and
20 into the next Presidential campaign
on live issues. and in opposition to man.
worship and tbird.termism. The people
are opposed to these %unrspublicau prin-
ciples. and would like TO have an oppor-
tunity to crush them under their feet.
Free Americas no place for man wor-
ship. no place for Grantism.
