DR. PlREHTRST'S VIGOROUS TALK

DIR. PARKHURSTS VIGOROUS TALK.
Dr. Parkhurst has furnished another striking
illustration of practical sagacty, courage and
moral perception by coming out boldly in adj
yocacy Of the movement for new Republican
organization in this city at the hands of the
Committee of Five Hundred. This he has done
in the form Of an interview which will he found
in another column. 1t is one Of the strongest
statements of the case that have yet been maze.
His arraignment of the Platt-Lauterbach-Iam
many combination is severe and sweeping lie
does not mince matters; things are called 10y
their right names, and the language that he
employs can be understood by everybody
The Doctor does not speak a Republican,
though it is generally understood that ne pe-
longs to our party Partisan politics. lie
holds. has no place in municipal affairs; 10
him these are entirely matters of business but
as a citizen who did more than any other single
individual to drive the Tammany gang from
power he naturally feels Il deep interest III not
permitting this municipality to relapse into It's
former state Perccving that such a deplorable
result is inevitable if Plat succeeds by means
of his present alliance with Croker, the Doctor
realizes the vital Importance to the welfare OF
the city Of securing an honest Republican or
ganization. and one that will be truly repre-
sentative Of the party. The Republican organ
izaton is invariably the foundation OF all re-
form efforts in this city, hence the necessity or
preventing it from becoming a mere annex TO
the Wigwam. such as it was in former years,
and such as Lauterbach Is trying to make II
now. in order that his master may have abso-
lutte control Of his own party machinery here,
at Albany and throughout the state.
The issue, as Dr. Parkhurst clearly pcrcelvcs.
IS not one Of facional strife in the Republican
ranks: not one Of personalities; not whether
the friends of Mr. Brookfield or Mr.. Lauterbach,
Mr.. Bliss or Mr. Plat. shall control the party
organization in this county; those are all In
cidental considerations. The vital question Is
essentially moral, Shall a great party's organ
ization be built and maintained by fraudu-
lent practices in order that it may be made an
instrument for the undoing Of all that has been
accomplished here within the last three years
for the cause Of clean government and munici-
pal reform That is the issue, and the real
issue Of the whole controversy. 1t cannot be
obscured and 1t will not be lost sight OF by the
honest Republicans Of this city until a proper
settlement has been made. What that settle
ment involves has already been indicated by
another pubc-spirited clergyman, the Rev. Or.
X Heber Newton, when he declared that the
only effective protest against the existing state
Of things was an entirely new Republican or
ganization That is now inevitable.

the American prisoners have to fear. AS they

THE SHERIFF AND HIS WOES.

Sheriff Tamscn made Il most lugubrious speech
at the dinner Of the Second Panel OF the Shcr-
IFS Jury at Dclmonico's on Thursday evening
last His voice was throbbing with anguish
from the beginning to the end Of his discourse.
He declared with vchcmencc that conspiracy
had been formed against him. that he had been
illuminated and maligned, prosecuted and i'll
used He INDUCED in pieous references TO the
sword Of Damocles, which, he said. was hanging
over his head Governor Morton has called upon
Hansen to answer certain grave charges, and
10 the Sheriff's terrified vision the legal dOc,i-
mcnt from Albany has assumed n shape as pOr-
tentous as that of the dagger which Macbeth
murderous Imagination conjured up. In his
dismay and distress Mr. Tamscn turned upon
the men who had elected him, and he had n
great deal OF fault to find with the Reform move
mcnt which carried him into the place which
he occupies In trembling accents he insisted,
however that his conscience was clear. and that
he had made every effort to do his duty. He
cndcavored to convince his hearers that the
Sheriff Of this county is an innocent martyr,
suffering from every form Of injury. abuse and
outrage. II the men who listened TO him had
given full faith to his dismal description OF the
woes which he has suffered since he became
Sheriff, they would nave cOnciuueu that the
speaker was as helpless, az dcsparing and as
agoniZed a victim as the most wretchcd Of Ar
menians suffering tortures at the hands Of the
most ruthless Of Turks.
The people of NewYork have been laboring
under the impression that the Sheriff had
a comfortable and enjoyable place. and that
his salary Of 10000 was adequate com
pcnsation for all the anxietics and RESPONSE
bllitles and burdens which he had assumed.
Mr. Tamscn talked az IL he had been pursued
by a band Of implacable enemies who had made
him captive and thrust him into office against
his fearful protests, and in spite of his melan-
choy appeals to be saved from so awful a fate.
1t has generally been supposed that Tamsen

year Of grace Is undoubtedly Mr.. David Hammell
OF Warren County. N. j. Away back in the
sixties he registered solemn vow that he would
never enter his home again until New-Jersey
had another Republican Governor Nearly thirty
years have passed. and during all that time he
religiously adhered to his vow and refused to
have any communication with the members Of
his family. though he did not hesitate to draw
supplies from his house and barn. AS time went
by 1t is easy to believe that Hammell grew dis
couraged. and more than once he must have

he had built for himself without seeing the de-
sire Of his heart fulfilled 1t was glad day.
therefore, when the news that Mr.. Grggs had
been elected Governor reached him. and a still
gladder when the inauguration actually took

And WashOnts Cause Damage
 and Delay tOthe N. M. .& A.

There has been some heavy rains or the line of the N. NJ. X A. between Fsirbsnk and Nogsles, and the wreck ing crews have been kept busy repair ing wsshouts.
 Yesterday morning. however, when the train left Nogsles for Benson on time they met q damaging wsshous from the terrific rsins of the night previous. The wreckirg crew in go ing to the scene of the trouble, also iounJ several wsshouts which in all would estimate . delay of 10 hours before the train could psss. To make matters worse. e big land slide was also encountered which prevented any possibility of trade for 6 day or more. in fact, up to noon today, no train had yet reached Fairbank which accounts for the fact that no mail arrived in Tombstone last night; no train having gone to Benson to receive it.
 IL being evident that it will take . day or more to repair the damage by the landslide and washout., the man. sgemen. will run An englne and ca from Benson today with mail, etc., to the break when It will be transferred and thus. under this arrangement, nail will probably arrive 'enisht.
 The loss from washouts on the N. V. & A. will be quite heavy this year owing 'he incesssnt rains.
