Try TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.I
w.ourvGroS. April S.-The Gazette is Washing
+on crnaav newspaper which is sometimes quoted
INV ;ournals outside of the District OF Columbia
The Gazette is "Stalwart" IN politics and for some
time past its editorials have reflected the bitter
d,scontent felt by certain " Stalwart" politicians
reward President Arthur and his administration.
todavn doublee loaded editorial article The Gazette
declares that President Arthur "bas amazed his
enemies and dishonored his friends" that, " the
public acts of the President and of some OF his
Cabinet Ministers have been such as no honest or
truthful man can approve" The article concludes:
If it transpres that imbece occupies the chair Il
s only one OF phases OF degradation to which the
people Of this country viii be Obliged g submit, n,s
Sv %s ssX % about n0s some o his Cabinet Minister'S 1t would
do no good and might do harm: All we have to say is
that from knowledge and belief such adminl5trs-
ton ever before existed this country and none like 1t
ever should exist again. We admit the shame
In another column the editor returns to the attack
as follows:
The President has the of existing ills in the Re
publican party in his personal possession Tnat cure
consists Of vigorous policy and proper use OF the vast
patronage Will he apply the certain remedy IL the
President prefers continue he has so FAR there Dt
one OF two explar atory conclasons Ener ne Is

In still another place the editor complains because
THE TRIBUNE published in advance exclusive in
formation of the Presidents purpose in regard to
the appointment of Postmaster-General" "; and
wants to know why "the leading Half Breed
organ deserves such OF any favor from this Admins
itration."
The Gazette aso publishes, exclusively story to
the effect that ex-Congressman Crowley recently
received snub" from the President, whereupon
he left the White House in towering rage declaring
that he would never set foot in it again during this
administration that the Presidents private secre-
tary vainly tried TO coax the exConPressman to re-
turn that Crowley has thrown up his appointment
as a special attorney to prosecute the South Caro-
lima election cases at sacrifice to himself OF
about $36, 900 y; that Crowley is gone and when
he went the last Stalwart Republican leader passed
from social and political relations with the Presi-
dent" Mr. Crowley when in Washington few
day ago told TRIBUNE correspondent that he
expected to go to South Carolina in about week,
but he had first to go home to attend to pri-
vate business. He has not yet returned to Wash
iDgton.
