Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1887-1890, 1888-04-14
"Great Falls wanted the convention

"Great Falls wanted the convention
very badly says the Independent.
Great Falls is not by any means inconsol-
able, We contend that it would be bet
ter for each party to get out of the ruts
and display in this year of political ac-
tivity and ardor, a disposition to seek in
spiration from the newly peopled region
of Cascade county which is all aglow
with the spirit of progress and enterprise.
1t is not in the power of conventions to
make or unmake cities, but we consider
that political parties might wisely show
their regard for young city which is at
the head Of progressive movement that
has so far resulted in the construction OF
two great trunk lines and is giving Mon
tana the greatest impulse she ever re-
ceived. If the Independent could see
"from the tower" any further than Last
Chance gulch it would discern that the
best way to promote party success is to
seek the support of the new regions
rather than to bow to that narrow custom
which would limit public gatherings to a
few places.

| General Grant. Success at that time
might have rendered him powerful
rival of Blaine for the next nomination
\ but the phalanx went down before the
sturdy opponents of third term. After
the final solid vote of the 306, Mr.. Conk-
ling intended to offer Mr.. Window OF
Minnesota as compromise candidate,
but he allowed the opportunity to pass
for on the next ballot most of the Blaine
delegates cast their votes for Garfield and
the stampede soon became general.
This broke the power of Senator Conk-
/ ling. General Arthur was nominated as
, vice, president to conciliate him, but he
only gave the republican party slight sup
port during the ensuing campaign. MIR.
Conklng might still have been prom
inent figure in national affairs
but when Mr.. Robertson was appointed
collector of New York, he broke openly
with the administration, and resigning
the senatorship he sought vindication at
the hands of the New York. His over
confidence proved fatal to himself and
Mr.. Platt whom he induced to resign
with him. The legislature refused to re
elect them and Mr.. Conkling was practi-
cally driven out of politics. He became
associated with the public mind with the
death of Garfield, for the excitement
which his resignation caused melted
Guiteau to commit that atrocious crime.
Henceforth Mr.. Conkling's days were full
of labor and sorrow. President Arthur
rejected his guidance and renouncing all
hope of regaining his high rank he resum-
ed the practice of law. His services were
eagerly sought and he received large
fees, but he remained disappointed
man, doomed to comparative obscurity.
He nourished enmity to James G. Blaine
to the last, and caused personal adherents
to vote against him at the last general
election. He was bitter opponent of
Horace Greeley, and in the liberal cam
paign Of 1872, he carried his hostility to
jhe utmost. He will be remembered by
his followers for the powerful influence
le exercised at conventions, and for his
irm friendship for those who followed
lis dictation, but otherwise his claim to
public honor is slight.

ROSCOE CONKLIN.

Roscoe Conkling whose death is i'm
minent has played a prominent part in
national politics. As senator from New
York he was noted as a firm adherent of
the Grant administration which dispensed
nearly all the immense patronage of the
state through his hands, He made pow
erful speeches in campaign times, but his
political strength lay in his ability as an
organizer He ruled his own party with
a firm hand and was intolerant of any op
position. His power was greatest when
at the Chicago convention of 1880 he led
the 'stalwart' republican faction which
presented a solid column of 3O6 votes for

CONGRESS- OVERWHELMED.

The contest over the direct tax bill
brings to light the burdensome character
Of the war legislation. Although %
years have elapsed since the last hostile
gun was fired in Virginia, congress is still
loaded down with bills connected with
the civil war. Of this kind is the direct
tax bill which proposes to return ST.
100000 to states which paid that sum in
response to the levy made in 1861. This
bill meets with favor among the repre-
sentatives Of states who will benefit by it,
but it is strongly opposed by the south
ern states who regard it as a raid upon
the public treasury. There has been no
public demand for the bill. The states
which paid $17,000,000 to maintain the
union consider that the money was well
invested and they do not so far as the
people are concerned call for its return.
The war period was full of such Unequal
tiles in taxation and if the country at
tempts to adjust them the present surplus
will soon be depleted. The best way to
deal with all such claims is to employ the
surplus in public Improvements which
will benefit the entire country and not
the vultures who hang around the capital,
verifying the scriptural statement shat
where the carcase is there shall the
eagles be gathered" In delaying useful
legislation this bill has already cost the
country probably more than the "boodle"
which it appropriates.
The time is ripe for some radical meas
ures that will establish "more perfect
union" by sweeping away the burden
some legacy left by the civil war and the
perion of reconstruction. Prescription
in all its evil shapes should be removed
by general amnesty which will be so in
fact as we'll as in name Judicial ma
chinery should be provided for the ad-
justment of all pension and other claims,
including such as those made by the d.
rect tax bill. No war claim should be al
lowed by congress until the courts have
decided for or against it, Finally some
limitations should be fixed when claims
can no longer be entertained, for the
same reason as statutes of Limitation are
embodied in the laws of most states.
Such reforms would enable congress to
deal intelligently with questions. of the
hour. They might press severely on in
nocent parties who are victims of con
gressional hardness, but the public safety
is the supreme law, or ought to be.
