Tbe group or Kvpublicene com* nionly designated “Stuhvarts” fiad themselves worsted in n Soden-Wu* trrlro*8udowMstyle by i hi* President’s niauly slid inde|iciidt‘iir coup of Thursday.? Tiny ore not only “disgruntled.’ They ere wild with lag-; stunned by disappointment, more bitter are their reflections, from the fact that they, oil and singular, have a deep- down conciousne&s that Piesident Garfield's position is absoPely right, C mspicuously oonAtitutioiml. They know that; but they have made n rule of their own. They have de creed (by whut light no nmn cun tell) that Federal oflit ei belong to Republican politicians; that the New York oflices, lor instance, are the special property of lt»a:oe Conk • ling; that the President, in tilling the Federal offices in that State, must lit mutely and with folded urine, awaiting the dictation of the New Yoik Senator. In other words, the “Stalwart’* idea is the complete sub* jectivity of tbe President to the or* ders of one man. The president saw fit to uppoint u man io fill the office of collecior of the Port of New York who was not in accord with Mr. Conk ling’s views- Mr. Conkling informed the Repub lican Caucus Committee the othei day that ho bad promoted the Senat* deed-look for the special purpose of forcing tbe President to withdraw the name of Judge Robertson from the list of New York appointments. Mr. Conkling has alleged no uniit* bom in this oandidate. Judge Rob- ertoon’s Republicanism was not the kind of Republicanism that Mr. Conkling Uked. Judge Robertson waa not n henchman of Mr. Conkling. Judge Roberta* waa nota .mun who would crook the supple hinges of bis knee lo Mr. Conkling. That woe what Mr. Conkling saw objec tionable iu Judge Robertson. He could not be ok^ed bp tbe Senate* Cockling fhmsiened to light the Domination MMi in executive and open mdm'bf the Bequte. Hie friends Conveyed this ultimatum to tbe Preeideat. They suggested that tbe Preeideat had better yield and not “disturb the harmony of the Re publican party.” The President, to the surprise of Conkling's friends, refused to with draw tbe Robertson nomination, lie did more. He exercised his right and sent a message to the Senate withdrawing all the Conkling nomi nations, leaving the Robertson nom* inution still before the Senate. Bold and independent was this uction, and in itroog contrast with the Presidential sub-servience to “boss” dictation of past years. It means that the President does not regard the Federal offices iu New York as the property of Mr. Couk- ling; that, on the contrary, they are to be Allied in accordance with the demands ofpublic interest*; that the President intends to meet the “bosaea” in a large and open field und in a general engagement. He clears the say by sweeping off, by u single stroke of his pen, every nomi nation made before at tho suggestion of tbe New York Senator. Conk ling can take his choice, lie can submit or vacate bis enormous as sumption of power, or he can light. Conkling is at a painful disadvan tage. Tbe good sense of the Ameri can people condemns him. The lead* iug papers of hie owu party will not back him in n fight with President Garfield. He bos to confront a pow erful current of public opinion, set ting against the “boss” system, of which be is the leading and hither to successful representative. That public opinion recognizes in Conk ling the leader of u class of politi cian* who defy the pctple. In this fight the people will side with the Administration. • A General Local Option Law.
