Mr.. Lamar Confirmed.

The unexpected failed to happen for
once and ex-Seeretary Lamar has been
confirmed ns an associate justice OF tho
supreme conrf Of the United States Re
publican Senators Stewart, Stanford and
Riddleberger voted with the Democrats
thus constituting a majority Of four for
confirmation
OF course the war was fought over
again in the debate upon the nomination
-thnt is the Republican senators fought
their side of Il by making bitter and long
winded speeches against confirmation.
The Democrats seem to have confined
their part Of the fighting to voting when
they were given a chaDce to vote. The
speeches OF Senators Edmunds, Sherman;
Hoar, Ingalls, and others were the stereo-
typed bloody shirt utterances with which
the public has been long familiar and
show that when the malady of Bourbon
ism has once seized upon men In public
life they rarely recover.
II they felt it their duty, however, to
voice their dissatisfaction at Mr.. Lamar's
elevation to the supreme bench, even when
it was apparent that opposition would
prove useless, 1t is to be hoped that the
Republican senators will now accept the
advice of the dead chieftain Of the Union
armies and consent to peace in the future.
In spite Of the hysterical fears of the
Republican senator's the earth will make
its daily revolution just the same as
though Mr.. Lamar had not been con-
flrmed. The Union will not be dissolved
and the senators will be able to draw their
senatorial salaries and make their prosy
speeches lust the same as ever. In other
words, the American Union has come to
stay, and the appointment of any man to
q seat on the supreme bench is not going
to shatter it to fragments. Much less is
there any prospect of serious danger to
the country and its institutions when the
appoiDtee is man SO thoroughly eompe.

The confirmation of Mr.. Lamar is more
than party victory. 1t imports COM
plete restoration of the Union in spirit
and in truth, the obliteration of the re-
sentiments of civil strife, and tho vindica-
ton of the perpetuity of our government
1t is well for the country and for free in
stitutions throughout the world that this
momentous result has not been accom-
plished by the voice of one party alone.
The vote shows that there are Republi-
cans with whom patriotism is stronger
than the spirit of faction, and Who will
not follow the dictation of leaders whose
personal ambitions overcome their regard
for the common welfare and the ties of
kindred blood. From the hour of yester-
days voting, more than ever before DIR

Cleveland the Growing Man.

The choice will not be to such oh ex-
tent personal; the issue will be one that is
definite and practical. The issue will be
represented by Mr. Cleveland and by Mr..
Blaine, with this difference, That in the
past four years the untried man in ma
tional politics has developed wonderful
sagacty; he approaches important ques-
tions in spirit that is broad and national
rather than partisan, and confronts his
opponents with courage that is new
element in political contests. On the
other hand the representative of the reac-
tionary clement is the defeated candidate
of 1854. In these three years lie has
made only two notable utterances. The
first came immeditely on his defeat. 1t
was the expression of disappointed ambi-
ton; it was in bad temper; it was mar
row, bitter and partisan to an extent that
surprised his friends and shocked the pub
lie.
The second utterance was his Paris
manifesto, which is rcactionary to a
marked degree; a shock to the intelli-
gence of the country, and an appeal to
class cupidity. In neither of these adj
dresses is there anything to attract the
alienated Republicans to Mr.. Blaine

Ex-Secretary Chandler is fast gaining
the position of the political buffoon of the

ChanSller's Inuuiry.

Chandler is small minded politician,
who is just large enough to bury his per-
sonal feelings for the success of the Re,
publican party. Although he hates Blaine
like hell pains, yet like Iago, must he
show forth q sign of love which is but
sign. When Chandler was down in the
world q little after Babcockism and
Robesonism and Belknapism went to the
wall when Chandler needed help-Blaine
gave him the cut that Brutus gave Caesar.
Garfield appointed Chandler solicitor gen.
eral in the department of justice, and
Blaine, in defiance of the man of Mentor,
went into the senatorial cloak rooms and
ordered the cold tea until Edmunds and
all the other sages concluded Chandler
wouldn't do at ALL That Mr. Chandler
afterward sailed down the Potomac amid
salvos of government gunpowder was not
due to Blaine's, but Guiteau's artillery.
Now that Chandler is senator and
Blaine is on the outside, it is touching to
see how Chandler takes hold to pull the
Republican chariot out of the mire in
which Blaine stalled it. Chandler's speech
Of Thursday revives memories of colored
governors, Legislatures and congressman
of reconstruction, deputy marshals, car
pet bags and returning boards. Some
darkeys in jackson were driven away from
the polls last November, just as some
white men were driven away from the
primaries in Chicago. The senate must
see about it. The nation, which had no
right to ask how Parsons got to the scaf
fold, must go right down to Jackson and
see why those negroes did not vote the
war tariff ticket--for there is no other po-
litical question.
The southern senators have heard so
much of this Eliza Pinkston buncombe
that they have accepted it as meebly as
the lower house accepts Randalls closure

would not vote to investigate any town

he had no material obJ. ction to junket

tion should be restricted to the acts Of

lican party had its fill of nosing into the

platt Must Go.

Attorney General O'Bren, of New
York, has very effectually clipped the
wings Of Boss Tom Platt, Of that state,
and by his decision vacancy is created
in the quarantine commissioners office.
Platt has held on to the quarantine
commissioncrship, TO which he was ap-
pointed eight years ago, five years since
the expiration Of his term of office, and
his grip on the Republican senate seemed
to insure him tenure on the position as
long as the political complexion of that
body allowed it to override any appoint
ment the governor might make. Now
that vacancy has been declared, it is to
be hoped that some man will be selected
who will nse the office for the purpose of
making q safe and effective quarantine
system, and not for the accomplishment
of his personal designs and the execution
of his political schemes.
Republicans as well as Democrats
united in exposing the outrages of the
Platt control Of the quarantine system,
and nobody will regret the overthrow OF
the tricky usurper. Atlanta Constitu-

Republican Concentration.

II is remarked with great force by The
Tribune that the concentration Of Re
publican opinion goes on rapidly" We
have noticed that ourselves, and have OBJ
served that 1t is accompanied by an
equally rapid concentration Of Republican
members. Every day or two a new lot Of
Republican voters, whose opinions are not
sufficiently orthodox, are shut out, and ut
their exclusion the party concentrates"
some more. This has been going On
steadily ever since Blaine became the
great leader. The Mugwumps went first,
and the party was concentrated So
thoroughly by their departure that q
Democratic president was elected. As
soon as that was seen to have been accom-
plished, steps were taken to keep the party
so surely concentrated that it would not
be in danger of winning any election for a
long time to come. The door was not
only shut against Mugwumps, but notice
was given that any Republican candidate
who was unlucky enough to command
Independent or Mugwump approval should
be. 'knifed" and defeated. This was done
so thoroughly in few elections that in
November last the f1attering demcnstra-
tion was made that the party had ''con-
centrated" itself into minority of about
1900 votes in the state of New York.
Since that discovery tho party's leaders
havo been animated by only ono purpose,
and that is to do for the party in tho
nation what they have done for it in this
state. They have made 'Blaine and q
surplus" the party creed, and have so
concentrated Republican opinion upon it
that strong party journals in Rhode Island,
Pennsylvania, Illinois, Minnesota, Ne
braska, Wisconsin, California, with thou
sands of Republican voters behind them,
have been shown the door. BY keeping
the concentration going with its present
rapidity, the party will go into the next
presidential election the snuggest and
tightest little minority which has taken
part in national election for many years.

The Speakers Case.

Mr.. Carlisle is finding the advantage of
having q good character. 1t may be
doubted if any man has ever held the
office Of speaker who won warmer praise
from his political opponents for his probity
and fairness than has repeatedly been be-
slowed upon Mr.. Carlisle by Republican
associates. When some Republican or
gans started the story that the speaker
was trying to steal seat in the house to
which he had no just claim, it was ex-
pected by candid people that there would
prove to be no foundation for the charge,

Tho Carlisle-Thoehe Case.

Some interesting incidents of the Car

attention they deserve.
Thoebe was represented before the COM
mittee by j. Hale Sypher, vociferous
lawyer and eX-congressman from Louisi-
ana, who aspires to be one Of the Repub-
lcan leaders in these days. To his great
disgust there was read at the hearing sew
eral letters which he had written to one
Lee Crandall, Greenbacker and labor
agitator, and which lad fallen into the
hands of Col. Wood, Thoebe's first coun-
sell In one of these letter Sypher said, in
reply to the suggestion that he should be-
come associated with Col Wood in the
case: 'Twill not put my reputation in any
attorneys keeping who has not equal eX-
periencc in the practice. The political and
diplomatic management of such case has
quite us much to do with success as tho
technical legal proceedings, and it is in
these matters that have decided advant-
agc.' In another he wrote: KNOWING
my views and relations to the order of the
Knights of Labor you suggested my en-
ployment as counsel. We discussed fully
the whole case, and among other things
the matter of ways and means to carry
on costly contest. 1t was agreed be-
tween us that if was empowered Off

magnanimity toward political opponents,

Let him make another speech to the same
purpose. Let him continue in the good
work of demonstrating beyond question
the uprightness and downrightness of
Cleveland's democracy. His efforts will
streng then the faith of 100000 Demo

digious seltlshness manifested by the Re
