age Is Liiat now oeiiis5 esoite " ciS II /
administration organ Of !
this city, in It's frantic effort to revive i
the bloody shirt in connection with
Mahone's defeat IN Virginia. George
C. German, who, through his ntteran-
ces in this same sheet was more than
any other man responsible for the
conditions that led to the murder, Of
Garfield, is the author OF the blood
curdling tales from Mahone's grave
yard, and it is said he also wrote that
ridiculous, lying address sent out over
Mahone's signature. Gorham has
been the Godfather Of Malone in the
Republican party. 1t was he who ar
ranged the bargain by which the vote
Of that unsavory individual was given
to the Republicans in the Senate in
consideration of certain patronage,
and it is he who has kept the admin
istration to It's part Of the bargain,
holding out to Mr.. Arthur visions OF
a divided South in the next contest
and solid delegation from Virginia
for the present incumbent. And this
frantic effort to efre the Northern
heart" is the last desperate resort of
unscrupulous men who know that I'M
less something of this kind can be
made to work ''their goose IS cooked"
for all time.
And in this connection let me say
that all this twaddle about Chester a.
Arthur not being a candidate for re-
election unless pressed into it is the
veriest bosh. He is candidate and
is scheming and planning to that end.
:. The Post Of this city truly says, Gle
will enter the canvass with the inten-
: ton of accomplishing his purpose
come what may and be the opposition
: what it will. Blaine, Harrison, Ed
3 munds, Logan may aspire and may
: scheme--so much is permitted them
= but Arthur must be the party noml-
y nee. President by accident he wish
: es to be President by design. Presi
- dent now he intends to be President
: hereafter. The Republican party
g must be subdued into nominating him
e this accomplished the methods Of sob
: lection will be applied to the people
