The Republican party has been drag
ged down to its present low stsge by the
manil uations Of one man, whose over.
whelmipg ambition for the Presidential
seat led him to 90 to all lengths TO ac-
complish bis lifelong dream and ambi-
ton. He wrecked President bv his
manipulation ir forcing him to make ap-
pointments that led 10 a disruption Of
the party; be performed acts to attain
his end for his own advancement that
even high heaven would protest against;
be practiced venalitY to that ext ent that
it became a proverb, and still remains
Kissing among the good men OF the par
ty and the whole land; but he has his re-
wsrd. He has been relegated TO that
privacy that should have been his lot
eight years ago. His adherents have sd.
m1ned since the last election that they
we're hood wInked, and many men who
are of high political standing have stated
to me that they rued the day that they
aided him in what they now call bis un-
holy schemes. Poor comfort have they
obtained from him. These parties are
now enraged at finding their hopes bias
