How Party Zeal Doth Blind Us.
The Tacoma Ledgcr, Il shor: time

IDENTITY Hoped would be very strih
ing contrast between the conditions
which surrounded the Presidontelect
in the Spring of 1851, when be made
the trip through Baltimore in cog,
{" like hunted felon," on his way
to assume the duties of his high
office, and those under which Mr..
Cleveland proceeded to Washington,
few days ago, surrounded by an
army of admirers and friends" AS
some other Republican papers have
copied these comments, we deem
them worthy of special reference at
this time. 1t was true that the
country was on the eve of civil
war when Mr.. Lincoln came into
power, but it never has been shown
very conclusively that the extraordi-
nary precautions adopted by him
were any more necessary than they
would have been four weeks ago,
had Mr.. Cleveland placed credit in
the repeated warnings from high
Republican authority that his life
was, or would be, in imminent peril.
The Associated Press dispatches
were filled with these rumors, which
found many believers, especially
among those with whom d" the wish"
is generally the father to the
thought" Even on this coast-even
in this modern Athens of refinement
and intelligence 1--WE mean, Of course,
Olympia)-the opinion was freely e1-
pressed by one who has stood high
in the councils of the lato dominant
party that Mr.. Clevela nd would not
live to be inaugurated. 1t may not,
in this instance, have been a sugges-
ton which came from the heart Of
the individual, but it certainly indi-
Gated a recognition of the possible
use OF extreme measures never
deemed as coming within the range
of possibility except in an age of dy-
Mantle. But it must be admitted
that the bare expression of such an
opinion, at such a time, was liable
to nerve the arm of the assassin to
do its deadly work. Booth never
based his murderous act on deliber-
ate judgment. 1t was the worst
possible event that could have hap
pened to the South, which was bs-
ginning to feel the benefcent effects
OF a policy of love and Cancellation.
Guiteau was impelled by the same
frenzy which subordinates reason.
Neither OF these acts have been re.
garded as other than individual i'm
pulses, for which nobody could be
held responsible but the actors
themselves, no matter how deplor-
able the consequences were to the !
whole people.
1t may be true that there we've DO.
litical cranks who sought the life of
MIR. Lincoln al the time of his first
Inauguration; but if there were, it is
not safe to assume that they were
impelled by any more widespread
or pernicious Influences than have
since made the life of the Chief Ex-
ecutive as insecure as that of the
Car of serf-ruled Russia. The in.
cidents noted at the beginning and
close of the last quarter century,
isolated from intervening history,
