SCHBEVEB , , v " - Inspector GeneraL , Wb"itt'.iori of a cabinet officer would Hitchcock make with aucb a reoTdt But trading In cadetahips was one of his mildesi offenses. Hitchcock's sen atorial career , baginningwith the pur chase of hia eeat Tri h money and oth er bribes , was a perfect reign of job bery and pilfering. His associates and appointees were for the most part unprincipled rogues and public thieves. Dick Adams , his private secretary , was a notorious defaulter when Hitchcock made him his confi dential agent. Upon Hitchcock's ur gent solicitation Adams was appointed postmaster of De&dwood and now he is in the penitentiary , where Johnny Moore , another of Hitch cock's pets , is , 'also .languishing. Hitchcock's surveyor general , Boss Ounningharn , resigned when he found that his rascally jobbery was about to be ventilated by congressional inves tigation. The Omaha' postoffice scan dal , the smuggling of Jspmesa goods through the IT. S. mails , and other rascalities , are still fresh within the memory of most of our citizens. Hitchcock' * sell out to Jay Gould , hie subserviency to the U. P. monopoly , hie voting for back pay and refusing to disgorge-Are a matter of record. Last but not least the infamous means re sorted to by htm to secure "re-election by circulating forged letters purport ing to bo .signed by- Alvin Blunders , Clinton -iiigp ; - ondM3. 35. Porkins. Compare ; ! with this infamous forgery which or st Hitchcock a round $1,000 , the forged Morey letter psles into ineigmfiisnce. This transaction was a subj ct of legislative investi gation and Is also ofrecord. . ThH fsitit outline of Hitckcock's infamous public career might be sup plemented with the rcordc of the Mis souri rip-rap jobbery which is malodorous dorous enough to send any ordinary politician -into retirement. Hitch cock's Bu-cnlled italwartism is of the samemHterial as his public conscience- In 1867 he was an ally of copperheads an and avowed Johnsonite. In 1871 he was elected to the U. S. senate by the aolid democratic vote'in the legislature , and a dozen mongrel republicans whcT bolUid the republican caucus. In 1876 Hitch cock sought re-election by an alliance with Sam Tilden. Mule Barnmnjohair- man of the national democratic com mittee , wrote a letter to the demo cratic leaders in Nebraska , urging democrats in the 'legislature to vote for Hitchcock , * rho was to .return thia favor by uupporting Mr. Tildon'a claim. Fortunately , the elec toral commission" made" Hitchcock's support unnecessary to the democrats and the in famous bargain was not oonsumited. This is literally true and we can cite prominent democrats in Omaha that read Barnnm's letter. And this is the eminent statesman , the trusted stalwart 'whom Garfield is asked to elevate to a position in the cabinet that is naw Slled by Carl -Schurz. 4. THE Omaha Republican is now busily engaged in reading the editor of THE BEE out of the republican partp. This .is very appropriate and fitting from such a source. In 1867 when the editor of THE BEE was writing campaign documents against parly .traitors , Phineaa W. Hitchcock and Casper Yost , proprietor and manager of The Republican , were rampant Johnson men , and Algernion Paddock was running .for congress on the democratic ticket with Sterling Morton. From 18.67 when Yost and . Hitchoock'we're kicked out of office by General Grant tHeyjiever spoke of the general except in words of vulgar profanity and a filiated closely with th'o ' democrats-They only rejoined the old .party whona fat office was held out ava 3 > ait for patriotism and. loyaltj.In 1872 the present assistant editor of The Republican was piping his childish treble for Horace Greeley and de nouncing rcpubltcansas'CpTTUptionists and politic.il pariahs : 'This is a sweet lot of hmirpins to read any republican out of-tho party. THE telegraph announces that t Louisville' & Nashville rxiiro company have declared a. stock div idend of 103 per cent , oh thair present stock , and that each sh > re holder will be paid share per share. . A few years since the Rock Island" road fount ? .their surplus earnings so'heavy that as a matter of policy arioT as ) a blinit to the general public a like dividend idond of 103 per cent payable in stock waa declared. A few.more instances - stances of the tame nature will-con vince fho tr.riff. ridden shippers -and merchants that theory of railroad man agers to he lot alone , when their roads are earning from 25 to 30 per cent. Cn highly watered stocks , should not be contidcred. j . INGRATITUDE is the most monstrous of Pins , which even ambng roliticrans is regarded ai the basest trait of. char acter. The most unpardonable'blun der committed by Alvin Saunders in hi * career as United States senatpr was his endorsement of Phinoas W. > Hitchcock for the position of consul general to Paris , when that position * was worth its thousands , during the ris exposition. And now Phineas , the ingratc , is repaying .Mr. Saunderff for his generosity by bushwhacking him with malicious libels from behini the editorial chair of the Omaha .Republican. THE BEE inclines td.the' position that it servei SenatorISann- -ders rigbt for trying io warm -that- * snake in his b.isom. THE Retold quotes tne N t York 2eic * as saying that a new mnaging eiitor i BOI n to invade Dr. Miller's editorial sanctum. If the- great American sunflower could get some one to inansge his political conscience bis editorial columns might ditplky a little more consistency.
