at heart. But they are dangerous inter
meddIeFs and are not TO be tolerated oy
the politicians. They must be downed
They pack no weight and are terrible
foes in q political campaign. They must
be handicapped and disabled. In the
present political campaign, for example
George William Curtis must be proved
10 be mercenary and false; and 1t must
be shown that his independence is only
bvnocrisy and a sham. Hence, say
they, his opposition TO Blaine is OF re-
cent date: he used to praise him; he said
Blaine explained away the Muliigan
charges successfully; he now swallows
his " eulogy OF the Republican nomi-
nee: and he bolts the ticket because
Blaine would not give the Harpers the
contract to publish his Twenty Years
History" OF course, they know this to
be untrue, if they have investigated;
and they reassert these falsehoods to Kill
off Curtis and neutralize any i'll effects
that his writings may have on the dis
cipline of the Republican party. The
facts are simply and u~nquestionabiy
these: Mr.. Curtis, in the absence OF
other information, accepted an ingenious
statement OF Mr.. Blaine with regard TO
the Mulligan letters as satisfactory and
said so in Harper's Weekly. Within
three months afterwards, however, GER
tain developments were made which rem
dered it impossible for him to credit Mr..
Blaine's statement, which he had, at hrst
flush, charitably accepted as satisfactory,
and he then expressed himself editorially
in accordance with the changed appear
ance of the facts. Again, this was all
done and a part Of the past-gone and
become OF record-before anything had
been said or intimated in regard to posi-
BILE authorship by the Republican nomi-
nee for President. All of which every
body knows who knows anything at all
about the feeble efforts Of the Republic
cans to pull down one OF the best and
brightest men in their own party.

THE CONSPiRATORS.

How Butleris Playing into BIaine's Hands
to Betray the Democrats - The Secret
Cut.
WASHINGTON, August l2,-There is high
authority for the statement that formal
offer and assurance of ofanimportant Cabinet
position has been given to General Butler
by Mr.. Blaine as an inducement to HIM to
run as an independent candidate for the
Presidency. The offer was made at Gen.
eral Batlers house here in Washington.
Blaine's friends, instead of being confident
of his success, believe that the only real
hope he has is in the detection of a sufi-
cient number Of voters from the Cleveland
ranks, and they look to Butler to produce
this result. The Democrats now see that
they made an enormous error in allowing
Gen. Butler to come into their convention
at all. Butler has complete understanding
with Blaine and the Republican leaders
There can be no doubt of that

A QUIT CAMPAIGN.

At the respective political headquarters
in New York the Republicans have yet done
but little and the Democrats next to moth
ing, The Republican headquarters have
been open since June, but the few clerks
there have killed time and earned their sal
aries by sending out copies Of the Irish
World, the New York Tribune. and the Re
publican platform. No effort has been made
in the way of large demonstrations, no
speakers have been sent out, no hurrahing
done. The effort to raise money for political
purposes has been comparatively failure,
and the canvass drags istlessly along.
The Democrats only opened their head
quarters last week, and the Committee has
not yet got fairly down to business. The
party has not yet held rati6cations in the
chief cities-in fact, the capdidstes for
President and Vice President have not even
given to the public their letters accepting
ehe nominations. 1t is given out that the
National campaign viii not be opened until
IN September; and until that is done the
S'ates will scarcely move in their respective
local campaigns.
This IS all well enough. A short. sharp
and bright campaign is much to be pre-
ierred, !, Is less lsborions, less expensive
ana more satisfactory.

BUT ONE WAY

To Settle the Loathsome Matter-An OF
fetal investigation OF the Whole Subject
New York, August l2.-At the Brook
lyn navy yard to-day, the story Of murder
and cannibaism among the men Of the
Greely expedition was almost the only topic
of conversation. and was commented on in
the most indignant terms. How much, If
any, truth is in the revolving and sickening
story is matter which anoficial investiga-
ton, in which nothing shall be hidden, can
only reveal As rule the officers Of the
Greely Relief expedition who were at the
Brooklyn Navy-yard to-day, evinced dis
position not to be interviewed, stating how
ever, that il was q matter for the higher au-
thorities to speak upon, and that at the pres
ent time, if called upon, they would freely
state anything they saw Or heard
OF Lieut.. Greely. Commander SehleT, who
had charge Of the three relief vessels, when
first Questioned about the subject Was M
able TO restrain his Indignation. This Is
an outrageous publication and only goes to
show to what depths a generally regarded
reputable journal will descend to produce a
sensation. If I was Eeutentant Greely

EVEN so.

The Graphic Says That Even II the Story be
True 1t should Not be Told.
Nsw YoRK, August IL The Graphic, In
an editorial in regard to the horrible story
published by the Times this morning in re-
lation to the alleged cannibaism Of the
Greely survivors, says: 1T is great pity
that the story, if true, could not have been
kept from the public. No one can properly
judge the agony of men undergoing death
by starvation, and the acts to which ii is
liable to lead. Probably the worst has been
given in the story Of the Times, and If the
investigation demanded by that Journal Is
had, the disclosures will relieve rather than
add to the horror the public has already
experienced"
