franchise with gifts of high public
office, and with protection against
prosecution.
For maintaining at the capital Of O

pleasing to the government thereof,
because he and members of his family

ing in the domestic politics of that
country for his own commercial pur-
poses.
For maintaining in his cabinet an
officer who is known to have on
tributed corruptly to his election, who

to have taken Heading part in wreck

of its leading cities.
For placing at the head of the Pen

great scandal to the whole people.
For appointing'and maintaining as

schemes little short of fraudulent.
For entering into a conspiracy
whereby the head of the Census

For creating a regime in the New
York Custom House which has re-
suited in the preparation of frauds on
the revenue, enormous in extent, and
as yet only partially revealed to the
public.
These are only some of the grounds
for the endorsement of President Har-
rison and of his administration Of the
office of President, which are most
prominent in the public mind. They
do not commend themselves any too
strongly to the general u of repub-
~licans; but evidently they are heartily
approved by the leaders of the party,
for yesterdays endorsement was the
endorsement of the bosses and not of
the representatives of the people.
Anyway, the President is going to be
renominated by the bosses on his
record.
The people will then have an oppor-
tunity to say what they think of it.
The journal" and Its Alleged
Party-Notice Served on Colonel
wanser.
The new Republican paper scheme
of ex-Judge Seymour received a great
boom yesterday, when the Journal
came out with its attack on Colonel
Wanser, accusing him of selling out
his party to the Democracy. 1t shows
the Colonel what he has to expect
from that treacherous sheet.
The Dear angborn-B Benson gang
evidently think that by their malig-
nant SANDER of Allan L. McDermott
during the recent campaign they have
gained such strength that they can
resume their old tactics for a new
period, knife every honest man who
comes to the front and give all the
help they can to the forces of corrup-
ton.
The Journal alleges that a dicker
and deal game is going on between
certain Republican Office seekers and
Democratic Office holders. This may
possibly be true; it may well be true
that some of the place grabbers who
backed Colonel Wanser are trying to
make some deal to get salaries and
pickings at once. But when the
Journal Gus Colonel Wanser on
the one hand, and the leaders of the
Democratic party on the other. of par
ticipati ing in such a deal, it simply
ellis malicious untruths. 1t creates
