The Republican party has past of
which it is moi ashamed. YORK. 7ri-
buRe.
There is certainly no evidence that the
Republican party is ashamed of its past.
1t had Secretary of War named Belknap,
and it was not ashamed of his practices.
1t showed no shame for the whiskey frauds
in which its R:.bcock was implicated. 1t
was not ashamed of the Credit Mobilier
b ibery and corruption by which Republi-
cans were bought up to vote and act in
Congress for the benefit of the Union Pa
cifc railroad 1t Had Vice-President
named Colfax. who was covered all over
with Credit Mobilier mud, but it Nwas GER
tainly not ashamed of him. 1t stole the
Presidency for Hayes without any shame.
1t rewarded those who had aided in the
theft, aud did not blush. 1t was not
ashamed to raise million dollars in New
York to send to Indiana as a corruption
fund to buy the vote of the State. II
elected Garfield and Arthur by open bribery
and fragrant frauds on the ballot box with
out blushing. Its cheeks did not burn with
shame when banker who had collected
the corruption fund was rewarded with the
French mission. 1t sees the postofice off
Gals, its ex-senator and Secretary of the
National Committee on trial at Washington
for robbing the Government of millions OF
dollars, but that trifle does not call blush
of shame to its check. 1t saw its candi-
date for the Presidency write letter to the
chief of the Star-route robbers begging fol
money for the Presidential campaign, but
found nothing to blush at in that. Really,
the Republican party is not ashamed OF
anythinp,-Nei1 York World.

Bosses AND LEADERs.-There ought to
be no difficulty in discerning the difference
between these two classes of persons, fo1
they are as wide as the poles asunder.
The leader is man of broad views, hon.
est convictions, generous impulses, unt1inch-
ing courage, and endowed with self-sacri-
ficing spirit. If he serves q party, he does
it because he can in that way best serve his
country If he forsakes aparty, his motive
remains the same. If he takes office, he
docs so, not with that sham modesty which
is the threadbare refuge of low minds, but
with that becoming distrust in his own
abilities and that firm reliance on the Al
mighty which invariably characterize true
worth.
The boss, GA the contrary, is narrow
minded. selfish, greedy and envious. His
idea of patriotism is plumber and the pos
session of power for the distribution Of
spoils. He views primaries as gambler
does loaded dice-a nice instrument to cheat
with. He organizes conventions, but their
proceedings, and especially their results
are cut and dried beforehand. He is equal
ly skillful in making and breaking plat
forms His followers are mere minions,
without originally of thought Or indepen-
dence of action. Any self assertion On their
part would be rewarded with the cry: 'Of
with his head" A party that would fail to
keep him in power he would regard as ut
terIy worthless and discard it with as little
conjunction as boy would sucked out
orange. No wonder the people have risen
against the Boss" and vowed to eytermi-
nate him. --Bd4imore Herad

Nobody with two eyes in his head, and
possessing a single grain of common sense,
has doubted that the purpose of Malone and
his satellites has been, from the first, to
make our schools and colleges, as well as
the judiciary, and everything else upon
which they could lay their itching hands,
subsidiary to theirpartisan interests. And
SO, nobody can be surprised at the many
indications Of their purposes albeit We
might not be wholly prepared for a bold
avowal of this purpose on the part of the
mutineers. But the Montgomery Messelt-
ger, speaking Of the removal of an unexcap-
tionable official from the Virginia Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College, quotes a
member of the Board of Visitors thereto as
saying: "That Judge Gardner had discharg-
ed his duties faithfully and satisfactorily,
but then they must run the College ON
Readjuster principles -
'Run acollege on Readjuster principlesp'
Well, that is something, to be sure; even
though it involve the elimination from
the college curriculum of every sentiment
of honor. integrity, fair dealing, and pride

The WAY IT is TO BE DONE.-MahOne-
ties will talk. It is an affection with them.
''mere disease of giving things away
1t is now becoming apparent what the Boss
had III view when he had Mr.. Bolts turned
out of office, and put VIM. f. Craig in his
stead. Malone had reason to know that
Mr.. Bolts would not prostitute the Revenue
service under his control to the advance
ment Of his schemes and the enlargement
of his power, and he must, therefore, give
place to man who could be relied upon 10
give unquestionable obedience to all orders,
and compel the rs or so deputy collectors
under him to use their time, their talents
and the money Of the government, to the
promotion of Mahoneism, and the election
OF q congressman to succeed Mr.. Paul. 1t
is now known that Mr.. Paul expects to re-
sign his seat in Congress in a few days, un-
less otherwise ordered by Malone and a
new election will be ordered by the Gov
ernor, and the Boss wants all the force of
the Federal government in this district used
to its utmost capacity to secure his election.
The Boss wants to run Broaddus of the
Page Courier, for the vacancy, but many Of
his followers think Andrew can't reach, but
their objections will amount to very little
if orders have been issued. 1t is the opin-
ion of quite u number of people II this dis
trict that it will be "cold day for the
Boss man, whoever he may be, when the
polls close, but Billy is one of those patriots
who never doubts butthat every man can BE-
bought, and be hopes, by the promise of Of
flee, the use of Federal ofice-holders, and
by the debauching of the civil service gen
orally, to squeeze his man through. This
is the way the thing is to be done. Mr..
Paul took pilgrimage to the golden sands
of the Pacific, remained until he heard the
heads Of his friends drop beneath the axe
of the guillotine, and returned to see their
places filled by men who will receive them
as the price of their independence This is
a very nice scheme, and will attract the at
tention of more people than those residing
in the 18th district buckingham Register.
