The Probate Judgeship,

A recent leader of the Afous on this SUBJ
ject was based upon the proposition that the
office is and should be entirely non-partsan
one. Upon this, as corner stone, the Arqus
erects towering structure, each element and
factor of which is claim in behalf of the
Democratic candidate of special fitness for
the position.
While we fully accept the argus platform
as to the non partisan character of the Office
and would write no word of personal dispar
agement of Mr.. Cleaves, we do most conf
IDENTIFY submit to the voters of the county
that in their candidate for this important pc
sition the Republicans of this county present
gentleman whose past record, whose natu-
raj and acquired abilities, and whose graces
Of character and Of culture indicate him as
conspcuously adapted to this position. Were
we only to claim that Mr.. Peabody possesses
qualifications equal to those Of his competi-
tor, we might as well perhaps remain silent.
But the fatteripg vote by which his nomina-
tion, in the Republican Convention, was
made over three other lawyers of widely
known and acknowledged ability was no or
dina-y endorsement; and was all The more
noteworthy from the fact that he has never
entrenched himself in the regard of the party
leaders by former struggles for place. In the
very prime and Vigor of manhood we know
whereof we affirm when we say that he is
recognized by the officers of the courts and
by the legal profession of this county as a
Lawyer of ability far beyond his pretentions,
and that in the Probate Courts he is an au-
thority of the very highest rank. Neither
does be shine by light reflected or borrowed
from distinguished business alliances, but
what he appears to be he is,-genial, affabIe
warm hearted, with a mental organization
thoroughly judicial and mind fully trained
and skilled in the principles and practice of
Probate law. In all of these it is no dspar-
agement of Mr.. Cleaves to say that Mr.. Pea
body is his superior, and as such the Repub.
lcans of the County will support him for the
office in question. That he will command
the full party vote is not to be questioned,
and we are confident were the non-par,isan
doctrine promulgated by the Argus to prev
vail, he would draw largely upon the num-
Der of those usually opposed to him in poll
tjre

Parties aid Reform.

Democratic papers are crying out that re-
form is the question of the hour, the all-im-
portant issue before thecountry. We presume
there is no difference of opinion among hon.
est people as to the desirablity of reform.
Certainly every man calls for reform, as he
calls for the upholding of virtue, whether he
believes in it or not. Frequently those who
are at heart least desrous of reform are loud.
est In their calls; of this the Democratic ra-
pers aforesaid furnish conspicuous examples.
But when these journals go further, and
CAIN that the Democracy is reform party.
they say the thing that is absurd. The Demo
cratic party certainly never carried out a re-
form. 1t has occasionally, just before an elec-
tion, suggested one, but has invariably failed
to act upon the suggestion afler election was
over. 1t has opposed ard bitterly fought all
the great reforms of the last quarter of a GEN.
tury. Its ranis are made up of men to
whom the word reform is a jest, and to whom
the thing itself is incomprehensible On the
other hand the Republican party has brought
forward and carried TO a successful issue
those reforms of the last fifteen years which
have passed into the history of the country.
ltwas formed as reform party,it has ever act
ed as reform party,it is the only reform party
of the country to-day. 1t does not appeal to
its professions, as does the Democracy, but
to its practice. When corruption is discover
ed in its ranks it is promptly exposed, not
covered up after the old Democratic fashion
In choosing between the two parties the
neople will select that one whose record is
best. They will select the party which fa-
vors the payment of our just debts rather
than the party which advocates dishonesty
toward the creditors OF the nation. They
viii reason that good way to begin reform
IS by discharging our just obligations. They
will hesitate to trust party which has pro-

Monday Next!

The issues and influences growing out of
the election which takes place next Monday
are most important. Are our Republican
friends already for the contest? Are they
thoroughly alive to the Importance of the re-.
suit? Are they actively engaged in prepara-
tions to bring out our full vote?
But few days now remains, but much
may be done to give grand Republican ma
jority for SELDEN CONNOR. We must
not forget that our enemy is determined and
flushed with the success of last fall. There
is reason to believe that the Democratic lead
ers have received large sums of money from
Boston and New York associations whose
members thrive by a traffic which is fruitful
only in vice, pauperism, wretchedness and
crime. We must not be deceived. The Dem
ocratic party ofto-day is the Democratic par
ty which championed human slavery in 1860,
made so reasonable a record in 1867. and
opposed amendments to the constitution
abolishing human bondage in 1866. The most
malicious partisans of the Democratic party
then are the most prominent and influential
leaders now. The leopard cannot change its
spots, neither can the mass of the Democrat
ic party with its leaders lay aside that mali
cious and brutal spirit which has ever char
acterized them in the past fifteen years con-
test between FREEDMEN and SLAVERY, by
the mere passing of resolution. Their in
stincts are just as grovellng, their animus just
as malicious and then purpose just as unwor-
thy as they were in 1864. 1t is the party of re-
PROGRESSION; and its victory would be signal
for shout of triumph by those elements in
society which was upon its well-being. The
leaders by which the party is to be judged
have no more real PATRIOTISM TO-DAY than
in 1864 when they declared that war to
preserve national exstance was "a CRIME
SECOND ONLY TO THAT COMMITTED ON CAL
VERY" Such men as Emery and Pisbury,
The worst Democratic leaders to-day, are in
capable of patriotic action and party which
submits to be led by them cannot be pro-
gressive or reform party.
TIE Republican party is not all that the
best men in il WOud mako IL IT. hos failed
in some points but it has never been unfaith-
full to the best interests of humanity. Its
past record is the most illustrious ever made
by political party. That history is TOO well
known to need repetition here Abuses
have grown up in lis midst but it has not
failed TO expose them. 1t has been the party
of progress and has in it all the elements Of
the party of reform.
Republicans of Maine! we earnestly ask
you to do your duty next Monday, You are

Current Notes.

On the currency question Gov. Hendricks
pettifogs miserably; on all others be fails to
take broad statesmanlke stand. He shows
plainly what nearly every one has known for
long time, that Hendricks Is inore of DEM
agogue than statesman, a man who truck
les to public sentiment with the utmost obse
quiousness, not daring to entertain or express
an unequivocai opinion on any subiect.-Chi-
cago Times.
Republican prospects are Frightening in
Ohio. The last week has been bad one for
the Democrats, End their chances for victory
are poorer than at any time since the opening
OF the campaign. The Cincinnati CONNER
ciol sees this, and predicts: eff the Demo-
cratic party are not beaten in the State of
Ohio and Hamilton County this Fall, all the
sigus of the times will fail Wet wealth
er can't save it," Just what can
help it. the Commercial tells us as
follows: ''Two events within the nezt
ten days might help, and even save, VIM. Al
len in his struggles to save the liberties of the
people. The first is blghting frost through
out Ohio; the second. a tremendous panic in
New York. The destruction of one of our
cities by fire might serve him some, but
would hardly be suffiient. This a singular
state of affairs, toa, when we remember that
VIM. Allen is governor of Ohio, and has
been preserving our liberties in that capacity
for more than year."

THE appeal of the Argus for the support of
young men must be funny reading to those
youths who are SO unfortunate as to affiliate
with the Democratic party. The contempt
which that party has ever shown for young
men, its persistent refusal to recognize them,
the fatuity with which it cllngs to the coun-
sci OF dotards, are matters of notoriety. The
argus says the young men "mean to COM
mand new deal" Thev have meant that
for some years, bat the Democratic gray
boards have been too much for them.
