The New York Graphic never uttered
more truthful sarcasm than when it babe
adieu to foreign visitors until the ides Of
November, that they might not be invol-
untary witnesses Of the cutting, slashing
and gouging incident to Il political cam
paisu Alas there is too much truth in
the picture thus presented of the ways
and means by which popular sentiment is
goaded up to the pitch desired by politi
clans, when that potent engine for veal or
woe. the ballot box, is brou .ht into requisi-
zion. Cool delibera.ion, calm judgment,
seldom control this most important duty Of
American citizenship. The passions are
nhamed, the perjudices are excited. the
reason dethroned by the most speciou> of
sophistries and the most glazing of deccp-
tons. Admitting, without reflection, tie
depravci idea that necessity ju,;iies Il
course which under other circumstances
would be intolerable, many active pollti-
clans appear to believe that any strategem
is fair, if it but adds to the chances Of
party success This ignoble view of the
exalted privilege of citizenship has led
some Of the best men in every community
to recoil from an active participation in
the selection of candidates for Office.
'The filthy pool of politics. has became
SO turgii, that we have bat li;:lc hope OF
"a publication Of the waters. The divine
mission of the angel at Bethesda would
scarcely suffice to free from faint the
Shiny mass of corruption which has ac-
cumulated under our deprave1 system of
conducting popular elections.
In this era Of reform, a strenuous effort
should be made to purify the stream at the
fountain. head No measure would be
productive of 4 greater or more lasting
good 1t would induce closer inquiry
as to the peculiar fitness of candidates for
office, and lead to the selection of better
men to fill the various positions of honor
and trust within the gift of the people. by
becoming a candidate, in these days, one
invites abuse and defamation of character.
1t is inseparable from the modern idea Of
an effective canvass. 1t is deliberately
running the gauntlet with the lance at
your throat; becoming target for all the
ISLANDERS which envy and malice may in-
vent; voluntarily submitting TO have your
purest motives impugned, your mos,
worthy impulses set at naught, and all
honorable achievements made to appear as
! so many evidences Of unftness for public
confidence. In such contests the vicious
stand an equal chance with the worthy
All are placed upon a level. The lion
; oftentimes accept combat with the mouse,
with only an equal chance of victory.
But where is the remedy? In cult
waiting proper tone of popular sentiment
10 coudemuing what is wrong, if it is done
"for the party" the same as if it was done
> for an individual. In rising superior t.
party ties whenever question of moral
principles is involved which conflicts with
them. This is manly; it is just; and will
in no wise impair the confidence and re.
spect of those who act with party because
7 they cherish its doctrines.
