No inter-gat could possibly. have sufferedhy the postponement of the sale,and the creditors, other than thegovernment, of ~the road mightHave been greatly benefitted.Members of the administrationmay throw bouquets at each otherever this business, as they try to~wiake the country believe thatthey accomplished. somethingwhich deserves praise, but the' country has a way of getting atthe inside of things, and it willdo so in this case.There must be something aboutthe New York. city campaignwhich provokes men to profanity.Secretary Blissis nct ordirarily aprofane man, but he has beenusing ugly cuss words in publicto emphasize his denial of thecharge that funds of the Repub-lican National committee, ofwhich he is Treasurer, were beingused in behalf of Gen: Tracy, thetatt-McKinley candidate " forgreater New.
