the flag of his country in the heroic
DAYS of the civil war, aud from now
on he must be classed as a bona-fide
candidate. He but. states truism
in saving that "the end of the soldier
in politics is near and he might
have added that the end Of patriotic
devotion to country, as illustrated
by soldiers such as himself, has al
ready come. If it were not-sa there
would be more to hope for IN his cam
didacy. With high personal respect
for the gallant General, we cannot
regard his candidacy as promising
anything for better politics, as there
appears scarcely "A possibility of his
nomination, but a probability that 1T
may operate TO further schemes of
tie purely selfish politicians, hut
with assurance Of our hearty support
should he secure the prize aud dispel
our doubts, his letter is commended

THROW OUT CLARK AND QUAY.

Chicago Tmcs-lIcfnld.
The decent, enlightened, patriotic
citizenship Of this country demands
that tho United States Senate shall
use the senatorial tougs on the odor-
ferrous claimants from Pennsylvania
and Montana and then tumigate
itself.
The precious pair should have a
good dose Of cloride of lime aud then
be cast into the outer darkness of
political oblivion. The Clark inves-
tigation has already bcCouled the
Senate chamber with the iutoIerable
stencil Of purid politics, while the
pleas that have been made for the
besmeared pretender from the Qua
ker state are an insult to the moral
decency Of the nation.
The Senate has been scandalized
by these impudeut claimants long
enough. The senatorial muck-rake
has been dragging in loads Of slime
and pollution from Montana for
weeks past. The daily exhibit of
filth and deiiloment has sickcucd
the people of the whole country.
Disclosures Of corrupt and profit
gate use of money in the senatorial
contest i'm that state have been made
with "a brazenuess that Is astounding.
u passes all comprehension that
even the sluggish and languid Sem
ate is willing to prolong this pauo-
rama Of yileuess and indeceucy. The
Senate committee should have shut
OIL the stream Of filth from Montana
long ago and saved the respect of the
people for the highest legislative
body in the land by promptly voting
TO bundle the shameless aspirant
from that state i'm his dirty linen
aud send him home.
As for Quay, the apparent DISPOSE
tiou of the Senate to dodge the
dirty job OF handling his tainted
credentials is an arront to the hon
ost sentiment of the land and "A re-
proach to popular government. The
most ingenious politicalfalsitler that

BABtDtkS SNAP CONVENTION,
Hopes that the committee of post
masters and other appointees of Bah
cock would not persist in their plan
Of outraging public sentiment by
calling convention to renominate
their boss In April, four months in
advance of the usual time, are dis
PEELED. The call is formally issued
With the audacity of the great hood
Ter Tweed, these usurpers Of public
rights mocklngly ask, by their ac-
ton, what are you going to do about
it? They depend upon the normally
large republican majority in the dis
trict and the strength of party ties to
render opposition abortiye. Boss
Tweed finally landed behind the
bars, spite of his host Of political
minions and his i'll gotten millions
OF money. SO his prototype in the
Third district will soon or late be
overtaken by the rigateous Judgment
Of the people, despite bis army OF
salaried supporters and lavish eX-
pendltnres.
The calling Of this convention in
April is nprecedented in the his
tary of the party; unwarranted by
any public necessity; a ruthless dis
regard of the peoples wishes. 1t is
'snap Judgment of the most brazen
type, to forestal action by the peo-
pie that might not be favorable TO
the purposes Of the selfish tricksters
"3ossism' Of the gros1est Kind was
never more Extensively and dishon-
orably exercised. From more thau
half of the counties of the district
angry and threatening protests are
being heard. These may take active
form before the outrage Is consum-
mated sufficient to deter the schem-
ers from carrying out their plan
/ only 30 per cent. of the delegates
elected to the April cor vention have
| the moral courage to protest against
! Il nomination being then made, and
refuse to take part in making such
nomination, declaring themselves
absolved from any allegiance to the
nominee, they may convince the
| managers that it is dangerous to per
sist in defylng the pnhIic. Should
such action by a respectable minority
| fail to prevent the proposed outrage
! there Ii yet time for other action ny

! hands that have been proven un'
worthy to hold it. The HaZelton

OF the district aZeltou and those
who were active for his overthrow

then postmaster of Madison, ano
others Republicans who may now
be active in overthrowing the reign
ing boss Of the dlstri- t, even by sucl
heroic treatment as that admins

Of party status IN the future. Their,
