The Only Present Use of the Republican Party—SpoilsSpringfield Republican: What are the merits of the Republican party to-day ? \\ hat does the organization realty tend to accomplish? The Republican voters of thecoun try sent Mr. Garfield to the White House, and now he is there, what is Mr. Gar elu’s main occupation and care? It. is the parcelling out of ph • i i-es to his friends and the friends of his allies, that they in turn may help Mr. Garfield and bis allies back into The White House ami the Capitol. The Republicans of New York sent Mr Conklin to the Senate, and what has been his concern there? Tj see that his friqnds were taken care of by collectorships, postmasterships, surveyorships, that they in turn may take care of Conklings interests at caucuses and Conventions. Massachusetts has lately returned Mr. Dawes to the Senate, and what has Mr. Dawes been doing? Leading his party for months in a squabble, nominally against “revolution,” prae tically for two or three petty offices, with a swarm of pettier offices at „ tacked, all to promote a coalition in* Virginia, which shall win and parcel out the lojal spoil, and in turn strengthen the hands of the oilierdistributing machine at Washington Why does the President appoint Robertson Collector of New York? That he may replace the friends of Conkling by filends of Garfield and Blaine in clerkships and gaugerships. How are the virtuous independents at Albany inspired and strengthened in their uprising against Conkling? By free promises of Federal offices The transaction of the public busi ness is merely the incident in politics; the chief matter is the distribution of profit and emolument to A. B. and C—let us say to A, the Senator, B, the Collector, and C, the Stsr Boqte contractor A gets B appointed to office’ B runs the caucus, and C contributes the funds. Just now there is a hitch in the machine, and the Star Route man is coming to grief. It is hard on him • he paid up liberally in the last campaign ata nod from Garfield; it was Dorsey, the coniractoi’s friend upd partner, who turned tfie fight In In diana, the pivotal State: the contractor deserves well of his party. But, by a queer chance, a man was let into the Cabinet who treats the public bu-« siness as his first consideration, and he is mailing the Star Route contract or smoke for it. “Nevermind!” mutters tlieS aggrieved individual, “wait till Congrefee meets and my reprtsentative is heard from 1” Why should not the representative take care of him unless the public opinion gets too hot for it to be safe? It all hangs together. If public office is the legitimate spoil of party, why not the pu’>lie purse? ■
