SENATOR a RAT'S POSITION KBVIEWER It A WHITER, Editor Gazette: Mr. Washington Hastings, in his open letter of Monday week distinctly charges Senator Gray with tho most heinouB of all offenoes that can be applied to a publio that of Tho senator is accused of sowing the seeds of turbuleuou, and, by implication of fostering social revolution, the blind fury whioh overthrows all conditions of order and ot settled government. in the press rrom all seotions ot the oonniry against the rooent connu of the Republican party.

Therefore, the implied wish to stigmatize Senator Gray as being the primary, or only accuser of tho Republican party in thts9 dations, they be jnst or unjust, is unworthy of a jast critic and the tacts stand that Senator Gray is but scores who he has said and much Mr. Hastings Las succeeded, whether intentionally or not, iu causing tho rank acd file of in this city to suppose that the senator is the firut to make these charges. The press of the oountry has oritioised the McKinley tariff legislation, the Pension bill, the Forae bill as "revolutionary," as a "crime," "of infamous repaie," "conspiracy." "subversive of commercial relations with the world," "will bring a storm of popular rage about the the conspirators," popular uprising," "menacing and indefensible," "oansing chaos and confusion," "fraught with serious danger to our institutions" and in scores of other phraseology of equally extreme oritioism of the very measures whioh the senator referred to. The point here is that the above phraseology is taken from the press of every seotion of the country, from Muiue to Florida, and from Delaware to California. In other words it is public opinion in its oritioism of the Foroe, the MoKinley and other Repnblimeasures.

Yet Mr. Hastings, he had not read anything of these voluminous opinions refers to Senator Gray as if he wero the sole and only parsen charging the Repnblioan party with the enaotwent of revolutionary measures. And with that reasoning ha adjudges Senator Gray a demagogue. Haatings is aaked to consider the position of any one protesting against a J'ong. Wtmt oould he of Patriok Henry and other revolutionary fathers who deuouaoed sturdily the infamous encroaohmeuts of the British crown.

Had Hampden and Pym not inveiclod in parliament against "Tonnage atl( i 1T1 i ft would have haen United States. Were Hampden, Pym, Cromwell, Patriok Henry, Jefferson and Washington demagogues for denouncing governmental nsur pat ions And yet Senator Gray is, in his denunciation of the rooent Rcpubiioau meusures, only following a course inspired by them. But it must be remembered that Senator Gray's position is uotuaily not tue treme one that Mr. Hastings has implied. The senator at this moment, stands only a sentinel, pointing out tho dangers, but partly descried, towards whioh the country is in his opinion drifting.

And if ne be doing that he is doing not iota lees than his duty. If the statements of pnblio opinion upon the ferred to be only pnrtialiy true, Mr. Gray would even then be less than a patriot, did he, believing them, halt for one moment iu clarion voioe such detestable propositions as the Force bill. ol llcvoliitlonary iniamrUruy tlio Tlirenteuiiiff. more serious charge As stated, could be made.

It is, considering the status of the two parties, one a United States senator, and the other a merohant and manufacturer of the highest standing. equivalent to publio impeachment. Mr. Hustings asserts that Senator Gray's statements tend to foster sooial disorder. Allowing the assertion to stand by itself for moment, let us take a glance at the senator's position when he made the statements which have drawn forth tho diatribe.

Looking over it all carefully aud dispassionately it will be found that his charges agaiust the Ropublioan party and that party's moasurcs in and out of it I the iteration, but in much terms, of tho charges of public opinion tho exact reproduction, sober among record for saying wbal in addition. or "inviting a grave 11 a few expressions hastily gathered from various papers of the couutry upon the measures denounced by Senator Gray. They show to Mr. that the opinion upon these Republican not confined to the Democratic senator from Delaware Following given to a inti MEASURE IB REVOLUTIONARY. The intense anxiety of the Republican conspirators to push the through the Senate without fair dinousdeceut consideration, should in itself be sufficient to alarm aud arouse tho country.

INTERCOURBE WITH NATIONS. We are therefore not surprised at the fruit already borne by the McKinley bill which practically declares ju. intercourse with other nations Journal.

AN IMMEDIATE REVOLT OF THE PEOPLE. Alexander Hamilton was something of a frioml to stroug government: Ho willing to levy a moderate tribute upon tbe for tbe benefit of the closes. ions to aggrandize, within cortuin limits, the general government at tbe expense of tho states. He wished a rich, powerful, splendid, Federal agency, attracting to its so: vice aud to its support ambition, wealth aud fusbiou. But ho huH left us in the Federalist his patriotic protest against any partisan subversion of the olauHO tho constitution, giving to the regulation or elections, os that proposed by the Foro9 bill.

Tho enemies of the constitution, autioipating that under this clause such enormous crime against liberty, us that embodied in this bill, might be enaoted, depicted the danger iu auoh vivid colora that Hamilton's geat personal authority and luminous pun required to quiet the apprehensions of thu people. "The improbability of the attempt," he says, "may be inferred from this siuglo reflection, that it oould never be without causing immediate revolt of tbe greai body cf tho people, headed and directed by the state governments, it is not difficult to conceive that this oharaoteris'io right of freemen may, In certain turbulent and factious seasons, be violated in respeot to a particular doss of oitizsna by the viobill torious majority. Bat that uientul a privilege, i and enlightened invaded to the prejudics greet mass of the people, by the deliberate polioy the government, without occasioning a popular revolution, is altogether inconceivable and incredible. But what Is to be the objoot of this capricious partiality of tho national Is it to be exercised iu a discrimination between tho different departments of iudnslry, or betweon the different kinds of property, or between the different degrees ot property Will it lean in favor of tue landed interest, tho moneyed interest, or tho mercantile interest, or the manufacturing interest Or, to speak in the fashionable language of the adversaries to the constitution, will it court the elevation of tho 'wealthy and the well-born' to the exclusion and debasement of r.ll the rest of the soc iety?"

There are nnmerous other quotations at hand showing that Senator Gray's opinions are commonly asserted by the pnblio press and public men throngbont I the United States.
