Vote for Presideut, 1880.

Interesting reading on first page. The letters of resignation of Conkling and Platt, and the reasons impelling them to that course are printed in full I Monticello Herald: Having gotten “Boss” Conk ing out of the way, the half-breeds should now not object to the removal of “Boss” Blaine from the cabinet. Down with the bosses. The Monticello Herald and Kent land Gazette battle for the “Stalwarts,” and our neighbor over the way, and the Delphi Journal announce themselves as “Half breeds.’ And now Windom, of the Treasury Department, is unearthing the cor ruptionists and thieves in that institution. It is expected to turn out as much dirt as the Star Route iniqui ty- - The Indianapolis Journal says that “Half-breeds” is the name assumed by th® opponents of Conkling. Not correct. They have not “assumed,” but rather have been denounced as “half breeds,” by the “Stalwart” following. It is pronounced against them as a term of reproach, derision and contempt. The Indianapolis Journal says, referring to “half-breeds”: They “are not fertile. They run out, leaving no heirs behind. They are mulish and intractible. * * ♦ ♦ The “half-breeds” of New York are not likely to reflect honor on either party.” How complimentary the radical brethren are to one another? Crimination and recrimination is the standing order between “Stalwarts” and "Halt-breeds/’ It is as tonishing to witness the alacrity .witn which “Stalwarts” throw Credit Mobilier, and other infamous frauds in the faces of the “half breeds,” and the latte? retort with allusions to Gov. Sprague’s little shot-gun, etc. Monticello Herald: It is thought the half-breeds are not content with Senator Conkling’s retirement to private life. They probably want him to commit suicide. O, no; they only want him to get in range of Sprague’s little shot gun, receive a charge of turkey-shot and have the “strut” taken out of himThat would no doubt appease the wrath of Blaine.

The Monticello Herald intimates that Dorsey, the man claimed to have saved Indiana to the radical party, would “serve his country best’ by resigning his position of Secretary of the National Republican Committee. What base ingratitude: or does the Herald repent the election of Garfield, and wish that all promotive causes of that result may be wiped out. . The New Combination.—lt now ap pears that school teachers have their rings like politicians. The latest slate mapped out by our aristocratic school masters, is: Phil, Corkins, for principal of the Fowler school, PflffSnively, for principal of the Oxford Academy and Prof. Johnson for the county superintendent. Some fellow has been im tating the devil when he took Christ up on the high mountain. —Benton Review. Credit Mobilier DeGolyer Pavement Star Route, etc., Garfield, (sire of the "half-breeds” party) recently gave out that “Stalwart” Senators who opposed confirmation of appointments made by’him, would thereafter be required to approach him with letters of introduction. Lordy! Hie Majesty! 1 His Mighty Highness!! !- Wish he’d come down from his lofty pedestal and testify truthfully, if he can, concerning the Morey letter.— The other poor devil, released from arrest, is pronounced innoeent. The Chicago Times last Sunday issued a supplement containing the revised New Testament complete. Such journalistic enterprise has never been equalled. Referring to this, the Republican adds: “Just what effect such an Influx of scripture will have upon the Democratic party cannob be dear, ly foreseen.. That it cannot be otherwise than disastrous is evident.” “Such an influx of scripture” has been disastrous only in the pranks cf the party of Conkling, Grant, Blame, Garfield, Mahone, Ingersoll, et al. It has startled them to confessions and exposures, as witness the contest now going on between the “stalwarts”and •half-breeds.” Charges and countercharges, and bringing to the surface the most infamous frauds, stealings and corruptions,
