exchango remarks : "The growing ten

OUR SENATORIAL COX TEST.
The Senulorial contest at llarrishurg

as against a good one, wicked and un
patriotic. "Wo are not sure," it says,
"that tho time has not nearly or quite
arrived when bolters should he (Ideat

left Mentor with carpet bag,

until Conkling popped out from behind
rock, willing to lead him. "No,
thank you," replied Garfield, and then
passed on. Soon Cameron crossed his
path, while Logan is seen tn the dis
tance peeping out from behind rock
witching to see with what success his
two confederates had met. Garfield
remarked "No" every time, and is
bow legging it for the Whit Hosse

The Hiw York organ are hating a

but when considered in'cooneclion with
llie history of tho Keturmng Hoard
rascality by which Mr. Hayes was
foisted into the Presidency it is an of

on account of being virtually a second
appointment to tho Sfjiremo Bench
