amount OF argument TO tho contrary can
disguise this fact.
II will be interesting to see how this
matter will be looked upon by Mr. Hal-
atead's Republican friends in oaio. II
he has imbued them through his editorials
with his own spirit, they are likely to be
heard from in sequel to this affair.
Good citizens generally should condemn
these senators. Allow them the credit OF
basing their opposition upon the highest
motives, that under the circumstances,
may DO given to them, and what have
they done7 They have opposed one of
the coaspicuously able men of their party
because he would not be slave and be
silent about or commend them for the not
OF opposing the examination of the most
Questionable methods by which senator
Payne ssoursd his nomination TO the
United States Senate which ended
in his final election. 1t is said
those senator's fell back upon thai
much abused senatorial courtesy"
Bat no honest msn outside Of the
United States Senate believes that sana-
tofial courtesy should protect man ia
remaining in that body when he has
gotten there simply through fraud and
the lavish use of "boodle." Democrats
should remember that but for this, in-
stead OF representative Of the Standard
Oil Company, Ohio would have sent Mr..
Pendiston to ths Senate. 1t is possible
that these Republicans preferred to have
Payne rather than Pendleton on the op.
posite side of the Senate, but 1t is still
more likely that that body, now so largely
made up of millionnsirss, recognized q
fellow. piutoorat in distress and resolved
to stand by him at all hazards, fearing
that their positions might be in similar
danger at some future election.
Blight here naturally come in come
thoughts about the recent senatorial
election in Delaware. Doubtless the
friends OF Mr. Hslstead have rejoiced
over what Republicans outside of this
State look upon us the redemption OF
zone OF tho border staies." Republicans
in Delaware and all citizens Of this State
know that the election of Anthony Higgins
is due merely to iaetional fight among
their political opponents, remarkable
luck, and on smaller scale the same use
OF money that secured Senator Payne his
place in the United States Senate. Boz
fos "boodle' neither Senator Higgins MOI
Senator Payns would now DO in that body
hut two honest friends of ex Presiden
Cleveland would be there instead. Della
ware can sympAthizs with Ohio.

An indcrens,bie Act.


baltimore sun, Ind.
Mr.. Murat Halstead's final rejection Sat
urdAy by the votes OF Republican senators
whom he had offended IN the discussion OF
public acts OF theirs, was an indlscretion
which Is likely to give the party no end OF
trouble. II was indofensible from every
point Of Wow. IL cannot be sustained by
the plea that an editor given TO vitupera-
ton aud misrepresentation OF political OPP
ponents Is unit to represent this country
ut II foreign capital, for tho senators who
voted against Mr. Halstead voted for the
confirmation Of Editors RsId Of the Tribune
and Rice Of the North American Recietc
both of whom attained eminenee a. the
mallgners OF political opponents. There
was something flandtsh In the pertinacity
with which thay abused and traduced
President Cleveland, Secretary BRynrd and
others while winning the positions they
now hold by the grace Of tue new ahminls-
tration. SO far as ability Is concerned there
Is no question OF Mr.. HAlstsAd's superiority
to both the minister TO Ftauce and she min
lister to Russia. IL is plain, then, that the
Republican senators who voted to reject
Mr.. Halstead allowed their private resent.
ments to influence their public action In an
improper manner. They substituted pn-
waite for public interests 10 the decision OF
an important public matter. Another ne.
poet OF their conduct is still more blame.
worthy. In confirming Messrs. Reid and
Rice, who we're obedisnt party servants,
while rejecting Mr.. HalsteaG, they manifest
q disposition to impress u character Of ser.
Witty np0n the party prass. Thoy punish

the proportions it has already attained

But q continuance of the analogy clearly
