The president has invaded the political
graveyard and disinterred the remains of
JAMES n. TYNER, once of Indiana. The
csdaver has been set up in the postoffice
department and labelled "attorney-gen-
eral." TYNER, when in the political flesh,
was a statesman OF unsavory odor, and his
resurrection is not an suspicious event
He was second assistant postmaster-general
under GRANT, and was afterward at the
head of the department. Then he fell
back to the post of first assistant and dur
ing his incumbency of that Office the great
star route frauds were committed Re-
called to political life he takes still lower
place in the department, and we have no
doubt he would have been satisfied with a
pair of old trousers from the presidential
wardrobe. TYNER was never known to
refuse anything.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND kept ABRAHAM
d. HAzEN in the office of third assistant
postmaster genera to which he had been
appointed by President ARTHUR, more
than two years. HAzEN's democratic sue
cessor has already been displaced and
HAzEN restored to the Office. We pre-
sumo this is done in the spirit OF civil ser
vice reform, which the Chicago platform
declared should govern ALL executive APP
pointments.

STANLEY MATTHEWS, late associate JUS
tice of the supreme court of the United
States, was a lawyer Of distinguished abil-
ity, and a man of high attainments out
side of the law. But the circumstances
under which he went on the bench
placed lasting cloud upon his reputa-
ton. He was nominated as associate
Justice by President HAYES, at the request
OF JAY GOULD, but the senate rejected the
nomination, although MATTHEWS had
been a member of that body. When GAR
FIELD became president MATTHEWS NOM
ination was again sent in and JAY GOULD
had influence enough to secure its con-
firmation. Justice MATTHEWS played a
conspicuous part in the Louisiana return
ing board operations of 1867, and the
questionable services he then rendered
his party doubtless had something to do
with his elevation to the supreme bench
Prior to 1876 no man in the country stood
higher than he. His successor will, Of
course, be WILLIAM A. WooDs of Indiana,
who is on terms of personal intimacy with
the president, and who recently rendered
some very important and delicate services
to his party.

A GREAT SPEECH.

A "Reminiscences Of tho Blaine Conklins
Quarrel
II was present, as sergeant-at-arms of
the House, when the famous speech of Mr..
Blaine was made assailing Mr.. Conkling.
The scene has never been fully described, -

Conkling was master of invective, and

had either the ability or the temerity to

When he arose to reply to Mr.. Conkling his
mouth was twitchin & in q nervous manner
and his big eyes were blazing. We ought
to have known that something startlin z was
coming; but at that time Mr. Blaine was
not known to be the truly courageou s
and masterful man that he is. OF course
he had intimate friends who understood
that he was giant intellectually, but the
House had not felt his power. Neverthe-
less, there was an uncommon hush and
stiffness when he commenced his deliberate
utterances.

mently, like q whirlwind of eloquence, his
