A wEw Moses or younger and a
sprightlier Solomon has arisen TO lead the
Republican saints OF the Higgins faction
out Of the wilderness. The ranks we're
breaking and the struggling and disap-
pointed heroes were going over to the
other camp. Something was absolutely
necessary. The News could not
defend Senator Higgins and the
Every Evening would not. What was
to be done2 There must be some
defense. So the kitchen department Of
the Republican machine made arrange
ments with the Daily Republican and that
quiet and forgotten sheet now beams with
steady flow of office purchased elo-
quence. The defence Of Senator Higgins,
however, is peculiar. 1t is the same kind
Of defence that a shyster lawyer makes
for a criminal client. II is an attack on
some one else In this case It is an attack
on Senator Gray. The writer detailed
from the kitchen department to edit the
Higgins branch Of the Republican says
Three delegates were bought IN that
convention TO vote for repfes natives
who would vote for Gray as agail t Lo q.
Whether IL WAS whiskey, money .. oleo
margarine money that did the buyihs is
only known to certain "High. minded
gentleman who then held federal Office by
the grace Of Senator Gray and Secretary
Bayard.
Now, II that conglomeration of subli-
mated political saints who wipe up the
dishes in the kitchen department cannot
make any better defence of the appoint
ments Of Senator Higgins, and of Sena-
tor Higgins for making them, they might
as we'll stop. Senator Gray can stand
every attack that may be made upon the
armor of virtue and ability he has
worn through boyhood to manhood
without an intimation against his honor,
his integrity, or his ability. Attacks up.
on Senator Gray recoil harmlessly, and re-
bound to the disadvantage of the attacker
The new Moses cannot divert attention
from the Fishers, the Knowles anC
the Pickels by any other means than that
chosen by the Newa-silenco. Besides
that the cnly course is to protest against
the appointments. The respectable Re
publicans should do that.

drop his blocks Of Ave" libel suits
against the New York papers, One Of
Colonel Dudley Indiara friends says:
Dudley brought his suits in haste, and
largely In obedience TO what his friends
considered to be a duty he owed his
party. His sentiments had shocked the
moral sense of the country. and for fear
of the effect on the national canyass, then
nearing its close, he bristled up and
charged the opposition with forgery.
Everything Is changed now. Party pres

in whose behalf Dudley wrote, has his
Office, and Dudley himself wants to
buckle down without more ado TO his
private affairs.
It is a curious fact that the Republi-
can party, which once boasted OF the in
telligence, virtue and patriotism of its
members. could be duped by such a
patent deception as those suits Of Colonel
Dudley. The circumstances Of the
evasiye attempt to create the impression
that the letter was forgery made by
Colonel Dudley, and Colonel Dudley's
character, were sufficient to establish
the charge that he had written that let

to deal Colonel Dudley broke
the force Of the charge Of bribery against
him and against the Republican National
Committee, Of which he was the treas

bringing suits which he never meant Il
prosecute. The device succeeded. Colonel
Dudley estimated the intelligence and
the virtue Of the modern Republicans
correctly. They believed that he did not
write the letter. that he was not bent on
bribery; that he did not represent the
Republican committee. "Wnat fools
