The End Of tho Idolatry.

The opinion expressed by Harper's
Weekly in the subjoined paragraph concern
Ing Mr.. CLEvELAND's relation to the VAN
ALIEN scandal. is now shared by many OF the
principal Nugwumps who formerly sup
ported the President with ardor. Probably
it represents tho present attitude Of most
OF the original Mugwumps and civil SER
vice reformers toward Mr.. CLEVELAND:
I'VE are certainly not disposed to Judge Mr. CLxv..
LAND harshy. We rather conscious OF leaning In
his favor. But cannot close eyes to tho facts
in the case as they have become known to Ms .
Even II We take favorable view OF Mr. CLEvr.

This would be deporabs In the OF any PSssi

would nctyely ind tho right course. and I'M.

His character as public man OF acute moral percep-
tons and inhexibe hrmness important prop
erty of the American people and the value of that
property has by this one conspicuous act In lAmen.
table manner been put in jeopardy"
Not merely the VAN ALIEN Incident, but
the whole process Of Mr.. CLEvELAND's con-
version to sound principles OF practical pol
tiles, and to the traditions Of the Democratic
organization. has undoubtedly cost him the
support Of his former Mugwump worship
pers.' 1t has put an end to a sort of idolatry
that afforded for several years a spectacle
partly amusing. partly painful. and GER
tainly not inspiring to healthy public senti-
mont, or useful or desirable In republic.
We record. as matter OF news. the
termination OF this particular chapter of
Mr.. CLEyELAND's career. When Harper's
Weekly declares that Mr.. CLEvELANDs part
in the VAN ALIEN scandal has dealt blow
to his moral prestige recovery from which
Is exceedingly questionable" there Is no
likelihood that the leading members OF the
Mugwump congregation will ever resume
their old attitude toward the President An
ideal once shattered. an idol once damaged,
a period OF ecstatic contemplation once In
terrupted. then all Is over forever with the
temple and the shrine.
1t Is proper to make clear the distinction
between the broad cause OF the Mugwump
revulslon and the special and somewhat I'M
fortunate incident which affords to careful
journals like Harper's Weekly. an excuse for
a definite rupture OF their former relations
with the President. The mistake OF Mr..
CLEVELAND In the VAN ALIEN case Is that he
has gone little too far In his progressive
recognition OF the Democratic principle. so
hateful to the Mugwump mind. that the
disposition OF the offices Is normal part
OF political management. and that without
politics In appointments to office. political
organization would be farce. and govern
ment by partyAn impossibility.
The President appears TO have accepted

The First Speech of New Senator.

We observe that the Hon. JAMES SMITH,
Jr.. OF New Jersey. Is getting compliments
from right and left upon his speech of We'd
nesday, his first speech In the Senate. This
Senator has frequently. on public occa-
sions. advanced the theory that he was
no orator. He has maintained the propo-
sition with such persistent modesty that
many OF his constituents and friends
had come to accept his own estl-
mate Of him in that regard. They have
looked upon him as statesman whose
genius for politics and intultlvely sound
political judgment were sure to make him
marked figure In the Senate, and to
strengthen greatly the Democratic side of
that body; but who was more likely to keep
up devil OF thinking, II we may use the
expression. and to do the right thing at the
right moment than to illuminate the col
umns OF the Congressional Record.
When 1t became necessary. however. for
the new Senator from New Jersey to under
take set speech. nothing maidenish ap-
peared either In the substance OF his re-
marks or in his manner OF delivery He
held the close attention and enlivened the
intellects OF his previously fatigued col
leagues. He stirred both galleries and floor
to frequent applause. He made a dis
ttnct impression and name for him
self. under circumstances most dis
couraging to statesman who was no
orator. Mr. Smiths oratory is capital
He uses with great effect the power OF sar-
castle humor which he possesses, but he
does not use 1t too far or too frequently;
and behind the wit and the epigram there
are a tone OF manly earnestness and faculty
OF clear. vigorous statement which win
respect for his utterances. The quality Of
Senator SMITHs wit may be seen In half
dozen specimen passages, taken almost at
random from his first speech:

Tho Republican Canvass In New York

Many OF our Republican friends in New
York are becoming FESTIVE under the bad
Generalship to which they are subjected.
and are clamoring for a change. Chleftnin

cuse plan Of campaign. namely. the at

Hcans to the polls In support Of Mr.. Z. T.
BARTLETT. at the instance OF handful Of
professional Mugwumps. who refuse to
support the candidates for the politically
important offices on the same ticket.
A correspondent OF the New York Press.
who appears to be OF the same opinion as
many other distressed Republicans here
sbouts. writes rs follows:
why dossn't the Republican party start young
mani Republican club in tho neishborhood Of Third
avenue from 1ooth to 10th street, In talking with
0 good many young mon in this vicinity IND they
do not know OF any club which 10 Republican. but
thsrs many Democratic clubs. The next national
election will undoubtedly restore the Republicans to
power but the leaders should strike while the iron

"a HuxsLs REPUBLICAN,"
There appears to be no good reason why
the Republicans should not start young
mons club In that neighborhood. nor Is
there any good reason why they should not
strike while the iron Is hot and get some
Of the city Offices" providing they have the
necessary number OF votes. Under like
conditions. and subject to the same qualiH-
cation. we should think that they might get
some Of the State Offices, too.
Tho spirit OF unrest among tho Repub-
ncans to which We have referred may be
modified to some extent. perhaps. by the
establishment Of club In the place men,
toned. and by the establishment of other
Republican clubs at various points. But
upon the Republican party In this State
the conviction Is generally falling. that
the leaders are half-hearted IN the cause
they profess to espouse. and that the
ticket nominated in Syracuse was not put
up for the purpose Of being elected. but
rather to be beaten. as 1t certainly will be.
The same spirit Of Indifference to results
seems to permeate the Republican organi-
Eation ct every point in New York. and is
well worthy Of consideration as political
phenomenon. What Ia the matter with the
New York Republicans?
