Tnr grent agony at Republlcan

TnE great agony at Republican head
quarters just now Is the appalling diff.
Guilty Of getting SOAP for campaign
purposes. President Arthur is absolutely
indifferent as to whether Blaine aud Lo.
gan win or lose, aud he Is willing to
play the civil service dodge for all it is
worth. 30 he and his secretaries quiet
ly tip the wink TO tho ordinarily bedev-
lied department clerk and allow him to
understand that he need not contribute
baubce to the campaign fund. Wall
street Is paralyzed; and Is, on the
whole, rather more friendly to Clevs-
land than to Blaine, aud for the reason
that the country, under the patriotic
administration Of the model Governor Of
the Empire state, would undoubtedly
be secure from any violent shocks,
while there Is On uneasy fear generally
prevalent In influential quarters that
Blaine would plunge tho country into
the " demnition bow.wows." Besides,
the men Of Wall street, one and all,
have been losing rather than making
money for the past eighteen months,
and men whose bank accounts show up
10 the bad are not In the mood OF a.sub.
scribing to anything. There Is nothing
like prosperity to open the purse strings
Of the average speculator. II Is believed
In specially intelligent political circles
that q million dollars were raised In Wall
street to assist in the election Of James
A. Garfield. Men like Morton, in con.
nection with Star Reuters like Gen
Brady, furnished the wherewithli
through whose aid Dorsey made crisp
new two and five dollar bills cover the
highways and byways Of Indiana as
thickly as leaves In Vallambrossa strewn.
The old Star Route gang are probably
too much disgustod with their expert.

any Of their ill.gotten shckels. and Is. y.
Joness manufacturers have failed thus
far to respond in any great volume to his
appeals. Without an enormous corrup-
tiou fund II is very well understood that
the Republican party has not the ghost
Of show, and that fund is certainly not
forthcoming. All the signs in California
and in Los Angeles county point to an
utter absence of any such thing US q sack,
and the indications are that these signs
will be permanent In their manifestation.
Alas and alack- a-day that this should be
sol An effort has been made to ring
George G. Perkins into the fight
by dangling tho bait OF the United
States Scnatorship under his nose,
but that experienced politician
10 too old aud wary to be caught by
such a transparent device. In vain do
our Republican fellow citizens, both on
this and the Atlantic Coast, look about
them for some open sesame which will
unlock the treasure houses Of their solid
men. They have lost the charm and
the cave Of Aladdin remains obstinately
ahut.
