| New York State Senator and Congressman Dennis McCarthy |
The
Cortland News, Friday,
September 7, 1883.
Senator
McCarthy.
A Senator is to be elected this fall in place
of Hon. D. McCarthy, who has represented this district for the past six years.
We have heard Mr. McCarthy very prominently mentioned as a candidate for renomination,
and the name of Wm. P. Goodelle, Esq., also of Syracuse, has been very
prominently mentioned in connection with the same position. Mr. McCarthy has
very ably and satisfactorily represented the district in the past, and we have
no doubt he would continue in like well-doing if re-elected. Mr. Goodelle is
also a gentleman of ability and integrity, and we have no doubt that he would
make an excellent Senator. Whichever one of the gentlemen named may be
nominated, he will receive a cheerful and hearty support from THE NEWS, and
should any other gentleman receive the nomination, we have that confidence in
the integrity and intelligence of those who may be sent as delegates to the
nominating convention to pledge an earnest support to the candidate.
For
that reason THE NEWS has heretofore said nothing about the nomination in question,
believing it to be the province of a party newspaper to leave the
question of nomination to the people and the delegates, and not to interfere in
advancing the claims of any Republican against another. But when an attack by
statements which we know to be false is made upon one who is a candidate, for
the purpose of injuring his chances for nomination, or for ejection, if nominated,
we believe it to be our duty to defend the Republican so assailed. Should such
an attack be made upon Mr. Goodelle, we should do our best to repel the
slander.
The Standard
Boss has commenced early and vigorously in his labors in behalf of his Democratic coadjutors, and to him seems
to be assigned the part so loved by him, of stirring up strife and bad feeling
in the Republican party, to which he formerly claimed to belong. Although the
so-called division of the party into Stalwarts and Half-Breeds ceased a year or
more ago, he is now trying to make ill-feeling between those who were then of
different views as to party policy, and at the same time he makes a covert
attack on Senator McCarthy, partly perhaps with a view of defeating his
nomination, and partly perhaps to assist a strike, or the Democrats is
case he is nominated.
He
insinuates that Mr. McCarthy has promised, or is to promise, Mr. Mantanye, of
the State Committee, not to support some of the present "Half-
Breed"' incumbents of Senate positions for re-election. We have full
authority for saying that this statement is untrue, and that Mr. Mantanye [Republican and resident of Marathon, N. Y.--CC editor] has
not seen Senator McCarthy in more than a year.
When
the Standard Boss pretended to Republicanism, he was "a Stalwart of Stalwarts,” and was bitter in his
denunciations of the Republicans he was so fond of calling “Half-Breeds.” Hence his grudge against Mr.
McCarthy, who was one of the delegates to Chicago who refused to be bound by
the unit rule, and who afterward opposed the re-election of Messrs. Conkling
and [Platt] to the U. S. Senate. He also has a grudge and spite against Mr. Mantanye
because he also was a Republican of the kind he denominated “Half-Breeds,” and
joined his influence with them.
The
bad motive of this new invention of Clark's is thus seen, while at the same
time it is apparent that the two Republicans mentioned have no occasion to
injure others of their own views. There are no more Stalwarts and Half-Breeds,
there are only Republicans and Democrats, and to the latter class properly
belongs this Standard Ring, which continually labors in the interest of
the Democratic party, and tries to defeat the Republicans.
We are
satisfied that Clark's pretended friendship for Senator McCarthy is a part of a
treacherous plan to defeat him, of which Mr. Goodelle or any other true
Republican will not and does not approve. We only ask for fair play for all,
and that this foolish canard be disregarded and not allowed to have any influence
either way. The pretense that it was taken from the World is bad, for
the World is Democratic and interested to stir up strife in the
Republican party. That fact and the fact that no other New York paper heard of such
an "interview," discredits it, and when we also consider that it was
first brought to light by Clark a week or more after it was said to have
occurred, gives more credit to the rumor that he invented it, and is
responsible for its appearance in the Democratic papers. No Republican papers
have copied it.

An
article in the Syracuse Courier last week in relation to Cortland county
politics says that B. B. Jones is aspiring to be the "hay-loft
and cheese-press representative" at Albany next winter, but
that his claim is being hotly contested by L. S. Hayes, of Cortland, and
James Dougherty, of Solon. It would be a big thing for the Democratic
editor to be in a city controlled by the Democrats. He goes to a
city only once a year, and then it is only to Syracuse to join
griefs with the Courier editor because the Democrats have ceased
to vote for Jackson and are being led astray by "old Tilden,"
"Dan Manning" and "Dave Hill."
