Just after the election OF L. 5. Sena- app
tors seems to have entered the heart
to stay and to have turned that adj arm
mirablc sentiment of devoted brother
~ love into what seems to he the bit strl
terest of personal hatred.
The CONSERVATION that has prevailed W.,
for some time past over the failure OF !
the Administration to appoint L. $. ant
Judges, to the great detriment of the rep
public service, is explained by the -
statement that our Congressional del r.,
egation had not yet, at last accounts, kill
got the grindstone hung, much less sui
begun grinding their individual axes. gro
First the report came that Allen and ~
Squire had concluded to make COM be
mon cause and leave Wilson out in the ito
cold, and it was confidently believed tins
that commissions would soon issue GU
Then it was reported that Squire had da,
gone to New York to eat his Christmas
dinner, and things would have to re- the
main in abeyance until the turkey had pra
had time to digest. But it appears ON
that this pleasure trip had a much reI
deeper significance. His failure to re- ty.
turn, after the holiday season had ex- ella
pired, at first caused considerable
alarm for his personal safety, especial III ~;
ly as kilograms to the Hoffman House, ORE
which he left for his address, were re- sig
turned marked undelivercd." This Pu
anxiety was in some degree relieved a 1 ~.
few days afterward by dispatch from a
the Gilsey House, New York, which
read: "Papa is safe. He is at the wa
Hoffman House. You will hear from Vi
him soon." The author OF the tele- 70,
gram was Mr.. Squire's daughter, who
doubtless felt that the mystery regard Oh
ing the missing Senator should be TN
cleared up @axoid the prominence w
which the circumstance was beginning TN
to attract.
It turns out that Squire had been at tai
the Hoffman all the time; that he had pu
went into retirement for time to fix co
up masters on new slate; that to1 in,
facilitate this he had to cut off COM vo
munication with his collea CUES, and
that he had been for days closeted q,
with Moore and others whose political pa
interests flow in different lines from de
those of Senator Allen and Representa- an
TIM wl1son.s j &c
It il expected that there will be 40
music IN the air soon. The public in lie
terest has already suffered from the no
delay in making judicial appoint .
menfs. The responsibility will fall on an
somewhere, and the burden Of proof NO
whea . day Of reckoning comes, will
BE- With that represen tative Of the peo- AZ
ple's interests who was not At his post NC
when wanted. "Papa" may be safe n.
just now, loving daughter, but when it
comes to playing lone hand for Sen
ator, less than year from now, it may ~
be beyond the curative power Of salt mr.
peter to nxe him.
