CURRENT POLITICAL TOPICS,
The Political View of the Hour.

Editor Rutland Globe The statement
of your political creed in your leading edi-
torial of to-day is the key note of this po-
litical canvass. 1t is the high ground upon
which the winning man must stand. No
inconsiderable portion of the people already
occupy it and the current thither knows no
ebbing. Grantism, the synonym of politi-
cal corruption, which has go audaciousy
sought to perpetuate its power beyond the
limits of established usage, has met with a
downfall as sudden and disgraceful as that
of the English cardinal. Never has an adj
ministraton of this government eDcoun-
tered 80 sudden a collapse. In suddenness
and completeness rivalling that of the king
of the French.
The eminent military reputation of Gen.
Grant, in conjunction with our people to
reward that kind of service, raised him
with flattering unanimity to the presiden-
tial chair No president ever started
under more favorable auspices. His
party was kindly disposed and
the people judged with charity the mis-
takes and blunders which he made and par
doned with great awdity his unscemly
social and political associations.
His reelection was obtained in spite
of the grave suspicious of the more
thoughtful, and the open opposition
| of large number of the most promin-
ent men of his party, by the ardent and
arduous support of the. leading party man
agers, by the well drilled cohorts of office
holders, who had learned that "thrift doth
follow fawning" and by the most lavish cx-
penditure or the "sinews of war;"
Recent developments now show that
during all these years rottenness and cor
ruption have permeated almost every
branch of the public service. From the
capitol itself to the outmost petty trading
part of our distant frontier, among the
tomb stones of our national cemeteries,
everywhere, has this leprosy seemed to
| spread and tester until concealment was no
longer possible. The eruptions at the sur
face have caused the people to stand aghast.
| Weak administrations we have had before.
But at no other time has the executive, his
family relations and personal favorite,
made it their chief business to tatten them
selves with unblushing rapacity at the pub
lie crib. What an exhibition is this for
the centennial year of our self glorifca-
| ton.
If, however, this experience shall lead
us all to the exercise of a sharper diserim-
nation of candidates, less servile devo-
ton to party, and blind adherence to the
dictation of ambitious political leaders,
this sorrowful lesson will not be wholly
lost upon us.
The successful candidate must be select
ed from outside the ring of mere polite.
ians, with no faint of Grantism upon his
garments. He should possess in an emf.
nent degree the intellectual ability, peIson-
al dignity and unquestionable moral quail
ties imperatively required in this high
office. The candidate and not the office
should be sought and all sefseeking can.
