A Happy Choice.

Col. JoHN A. MARTIN, of Kansas, who was
made secretary of the national republican
committee on Wednesday, was very properly
the unanimous choice of tho members assem-
bled. No man in the party has given more
thought TO all tho matters which must come
before the committee than Col. MARTIN, and
he will give to his part of the work the at
tcntion IL needs from this time on through
the next presidential election. Col MARTY
is editor of the Atchison (Kan.) Constitution,
has been a member of the national committee
for two terms, and would have been governor
of Kansas before this if the people out there
had the good sense they are credited with.
He has been frequently mentioned as tho best
man in the state for candidate.

Tho Re-Electlon Of Senator Honr.

Tho termination Of the senatorial contest in
Massachusetts, will give tho republican party
of that state brief period of much needed
rcpose. The reelection of Senator HoAR has
been the result of an unusually fierce struggle,
in which all the factional forces have been en-
gagged which, in tho strife for popular
mastery in November, produced the re-
markablo result of Gen. BUTLER's election.
Between tho republicans who rebel against
the leadership of Senator HoAR and the DEM
ocrats who refuse to train under Gen. BUTLER
the two parties find themselves greatly de-
moralized. If the republican party is to
live it must have higher aims than tho hu.
initiation of leaders or tho venting of hatred
against individuals. In Massachusetts, it
would be difficult to-day TO find n
citizen with whom any public ques-
tion approaches in importance that
of whether HoAR or BUTLER shall he
politically destroyed in the coming bye and
bye. Senator HoAR's' recollection means II
vote on the right side of the questions which
have been counted important during the past
quarter of % century, and it means the con-
questioned integrity The Bay state is n
spirited old dame, and if her sons fight for
precedence they can he excused for such dis
position OF the ground that they camo hon
cstly by it.
The dispatch which purports to show that
the votes necessary TO elect Mr.. HoAR were
secured by means Of forged telegram had
better be received with caution Tho active
| indignation with which Mr. HoAR's best
friends denounced what they believed was n
| forgery in connection with the nomination of
Judge FoLoER in New York last summer was
too palpably genuine to permit ready bcliefin
any charge that they hayo resortod now for
their own purposes to such trick. Tho
charge is too directly aimed at their sincerity
thcn-a sincerity that was amply proven by
| the vigor of their cxpressions-to be seriously
entertained by anyone who knows them.
| Mr.. Crapo, whose name is said to have been
signed to the dispatch, denies having sent it.
This denial of itself duplicates nobody. Be-
yond doubt the gentlemen who were last
summer most active in reprobating for
gerry by wiro when il affected matters
in another state will be able to distinctly
show that they had nothing to do with this
one in their own.
