gar prejudice in its place No extent
OF evidence is sufficient to convince
them When the great secession from
the republican party of eleven years
ago took place, no man exercising or
binary reason could fail to see that
there were ample grounds for it In
our own state of Massachusetts, it com
pretended nearly every man of prom
jnence and distinction then living who
had been active in forming the repub
ican party; in the nation it comprised
men of such absolute purity and tran
sceudent intelligence as George VII
liam Curtis and Carl Schurz- Yet the
abuse Of these men was only limited by
the cowardice of their opponents il
the face of a public which would not
tolerate their defamation So it has
been now with Secretary Gresham He
was a more tempting mark because he
occupied a public station where, If he
could not be personally assaulted, pois-
oned arrows might be directed at him
by misrepresentation of his official
acts 1t is the penalty that is paid foi

These accusations have been ex-
posed in their insincerity, and the sub
ject of them is righted in the minds of
the American people. He would have
been compelled to wait much longer
for this, however, had he not met q
premature death. They are withdrawn
partly because there is no political end
to be gained by continuing them, and
partly from a sense OF decency in the
face of death. They are by no means
an isolated instance in American pol
itIcs They are an illustration of
treatment that is sure to follow a man
who has the courage to declare him
self independent Of party Such a man
Is pursued with virulence and a mallg-
nifty corresponding to his Importance
and to the amount of influence he is
supposed to exert Secretary Gresham
was a great loss to the repu blicans, q
great gain to the democrats; hence the
nnuSual bitterness evinced toward him.
We have intimated that there are
people of sincere intentions who really
balieve these hbels upon those who do
not agree with them in politics They
dstest independent men even more

cerity. Yet were they capable of calm
and intelligent reasoning, they would
see that independent men are as SIM
cere as they are themselves, though IN
a very different form of manifestation.
They would appreciate that it is just
as natural for some men to be indie
pendent as for others to be unswerv-
ing followers of party There was q
dornRraf in
years ago who openly declared that he
would vote for the devil If his party
nominated his Satanic majesty; there
are republicans to-day who believe
that any democrat is next door to the
devil. Both very likely were sincere
in this, more's the pity But why. We
ask, is not a man who takes a different
view to be accounted equally sincere?
1s it not possible that man may be SO
constituted as to be capable OF seeing
10th sides OF question: as to be in the
world with capacity of seeing only
one side? And why is one TO be abused
for following his instinct and his rea-
son in the first case, more than one
who persists in clinging to his preju-
dices in the second?
Here is the reason in the case. If

against one of their party for leaving
their association would exercise il.

Times-Herald says that Bushnell's

''a victory of Foraker over Mckinley"
and the Inter Ocean admits that Gov.
Mckinley has been Inundated in his

In order to let the discounted Nc
Kinley faction down easy, the Foraker

Mckinley. Now, everybody knows the
value of this presidential pit It is

doubts this, let him inquire of Johr

Infamous Assaults of Republicans Upon
Secretary Gresham.

Infamous Assaults of Republicans Upon
Secretary Gresham
The general commentator now be-
ing given the character of the late Sec
rotary Gresham has in it an instructive
lesson. A few weeks ago it was diff
cult TO exceed the abuse of him In
partisan quarters He was actuated
by bad motives, in which personal
spite and resentments had prominent
part; he Numbered inexcusa bly, in his
foreign.p policy, and involved the admin
istration of which he was a member in
odium as wen as himself; he was by
instinct and by purpose unpatriotic;
disposed to truckle to European powers
In his foreign policy; was bringing
shame to Americans and contempt to
our country by his lack OF appreciation
Of what was denominated true Ameri-
cauiSm, and his weak or worse yielding
to foreign aggression This latter
charge was made against one of the
most gallant American soldiers that
the late war produced. No responsible
person processes to believe any OF this
now. Secretary Gresham'S death has
brought to his memory instant justice
as far as there is open expression.
Simple and credulous people, who are
always eager to believe any wrong of a
man provided he differs from them in
politics. probably still hold to their
prejudice, though they have the grace
not to declare it. The nearest that
comes to its appearance in the press is
found in the insinuation that. though
Secretary Gresham had patriotic and
right impulses himself, he was pre-
vented from acting on them by Presi-
dent Cleveland, which is really only
another form of attack on the secre-
tary, though covert and cowardly in
stead of openly abusive.
