A Railroad LAWYER.

The principal objection which we see
urged against Gov. TILpEN is that he Is "a
railroad lawyer.
Well, would the Republicans prefer a
Tombs lawyer for candidate:
or the eighteen men who have been
President of the United states. all but
three have been lawyers and both the
candidates now before the people are law
yers. II we are TO have lawyer for
President, we do not sees what objection IL
can be TO HIM that his practice has been IN
the larger class Of cases, such "a those af-
fecting the rights and obligations OF rail
way companies
But it is said that Mr.. TILDEN's practice
has been lucrative. That only goes TO
show that his professional services have
been valuable To his clients, MS his patriotic
services will be TO his country. The pri-
vate fortune which he has accumulated IN
his business places hum entirely out of the
reach OF pecuniary temptation in the
White House; and although we believe
that not more than one, If any, of all our
Presidents ever yielded to that, still there
Is no harm i'll having it removed.

advent OF GraDtism. Since then they
have been gradually inolining TO the Dem
oorats. In the political revolution Of 1874,
New York gave TILDEN for Governor a
majority of $4,000. But on the State
ticket last year the Democrats got ina
jority of only 1900, while the Republi-
cans carried the Assembly In 1874 New
Jersey gave BEDLE, Democrat, for Gov
ernor, a majority OF 1900, but the aggre-
gate majority of the Democrats on Con-
gresham was only 5000; and last year
the Republicans carried the Legislature.
In the spring of 1876, ISoERsoII., Demo-
crat, was elected Governor Of Connecticut
by a plurality of $500, and last spring he
was again chosen by a plurality Of little
more than 1000.
These figures show that the chances in
these States, on which the final result may
turn In the Presidential contest, are with
the Democrats But there is no doubt
that in each of them, and especially in
New York and New Jersey, the Republi-
cans will eight the battle with all the skill,
energy, and resources they can command.

A correspondent of the Herald has had
an interview with Senator SPENCER Of
Alabama in reference to the trouble be-
tween him and Mr.. YARYAN. Mr.. SPENCER,
Il seems, 30 far from having requested the
removal of YARYAN, at the time OF the
difficulty, insisted upon his retention in
office. lie says" writes the Herald cor
respondent, "he went so far as to insist
upon YARYAN being kept, and told the
President he wanted linn, if necessary, TO
be charged TO him."
That Is 10 say, rs a Senator OF the United
States he was entitled to a certain number
OF appointments, and sooner than have u
scandal about his quarrel with YARYAN,
ut thai time, he preferred 10 have VAR
SAN kept in, even ii his retention was
shArged to his account.
THIS illustrates prevailing and very
aemoralizng view Of public Office. PolIti-
clans regard the appointments as TO be
made In their Interest, and not with a sole
eye to the public service. So common has
this understanding become that Mr.. SPEN-
GER speaks Of the appointments belonging
70 nm as something of which debtor and
credit account could be kept, 30 many

cred aud he seems to have employed this

The attention given by young ladies at school
to the arrangement OF their hair and the fashion OF
their clothes interferes In small with that
which they should bestow their stu lee while
young man al scnoul or college has demand Of tAls
Kind upon his time Or energies.
So writes a correspondent Of the Times But
will he change the habit OF the school girls to
decorate themselves as well as they know how
and TO put to the best use their physical ch arms
We fear not. 1t has been tho way Of women
from EVE down, and we fancy IL will always be
the way. They will save time even from their
studies to make themselves look as pretty as
possible for generations to come, and we are
glad Of II. As to the boy at college not spend
Ing any time over his personal adornment, that
Is all nonsense. He Is often about az fond Of
consulting his glass as his lexicon, aud spends
no little OF his energy on his cravats and
trousers. stu, in he instance mentioned by
the Times correspondent, that OF graduation
day at the Normal College, II the girls paid
eight dollars a pair for their white boots, be-
sides all the cost Of their white dresses, they
we're extrayagant. Probably the bill was a
severe tax on some Of the 81 young ladies'.
But perhaps they thought that graduation was
like wedding, not a ching of frequent repe-
tition In a womans life.

point has been reached in the pro-
longed struggle between the House of
Representatives and the Senate which for
bids any retreat by the peoples represen-
tauves from their sound and patriotic po-
sition. Every concession made in the spirit
of compromise has been misinterpreted rs
a sign of weakness and used Us lever for
making new demands. The Senate is not
contending for any principle, because none
is involved in the contest. 1t is desper-
ate flg Int TO retain the spoils, and nothing
more. 1t is n battle on behalf Of Office
holders, Rings. and public plunderers,
against an impoverished aud over-taxed
people.
The Senate has not given up dollar OF
the appropriations, willingly, in the bills
that have already passed or are still pend
ing. Every dime has been extorted by the
resolute stand of the House, and by the
exposures of Mr.. RANDALL, proving the
enormities that had been saddled on the
Treasury for years, without pretext to
justify them or even to palliate this egis-
latlve protiigacy. 1t is claimed in the SEN
ate that twenty-five millions of the forty
reduced by the House have been admitted
That admission Is a confession OF iudg-
ment on the part Of the Senate, that this
extravaganza has been going on systemat-
ically, and without an effort to restrain IT,
for many years On the basis of these
figures alone, without taking into account
other reductions which must yet be made,
more than one hundred und ffty-four mil
lions OF dollars have been stolen and
squandered in these appropriations only
under GRANT. So much Is virtually con-
coded by the Republicans Of the Senate,
who gave up these millions, which they
knew could not be sustained, in the hope
of saving the other seventeen which the
House desires 10 cut off.
In the face OF these facts, which amount
to self-arraignmeut of the Republican
party for its corruption and waste leaders
like MORTON and LOGAN, whose special
friends have profted us largely as any
others by the thievng system, have the
audacity to stand up and denounce the
endeavors of those who are striving to
bring back honesty and simplicity in the
administration of public affairs. Mr.
MOTION shouts Qualification at the top
of his lungs as If anybody was to be
frightened with that stale cry, which he
now substitutes for the exploded "bloody
shirt"
If II be notification to economize, to live
within our means, to stop plumber, to re-
lieve the public burdens and to cut off
scandalous abuses, the country will rejoice
TO see the House nullify all the existing
laws passed by Republican Congresses,
whereby this atrocious system was created
and fastened on the Treasury. over three
hundred millions have been plundered in
various forms since GRANT became Presi-
dent. For the first time in these long years,
since the close of the rebellion, real and
earnest effort has been made TO drive tho

The Key Of the Position.

In this part OF the country, the battle
ground of the Presidential contest is New
York, Connecticut, and New Jersey. In
deed it may well be believed that which
ever candidate gets their fifty electoral
votes, or even carries New York and either
OF the other two States. will enter the
White House next March. In proof that
this is the general opinion OF Doth Demo-
Gratis and Republicans, we refer to the fact
that i'll the usual tables of the probable
results OF the campaign. some prepared by
Democrats and some by Republicans, the
electoral votes Of New York, together with
those of either Connecticut or New Jersey,
and ofttimes both, are found necessary to
make up majority.
What, then, will be the policy OF the
combatants in these three States, and what
the probable results of the contesti The
citizens of these States are distinguished
for intelligence and enterprise. They be-
lleve IN free speech and free press; and
they have long been accustomed to an
abundance Of newspapers. OF course,
every city and town from Lake Erie to
Quinnebaug river, and from Delaware
bay to Lake Champlain, will be sprinkled
with political pamphlets aud enlivened by
stump speakers.
The cause of true reform will gain by
tins agitation, for the politicians OF these
States advocate reform in a very special
manner. In spite of the vast patronage Of
the AdmiDistI alton distributed therein,
and though four of the seven members OF
GRANTS Cabinet dwelt there, every one
of whom very thoroughly hated BRIsrow
the proofs are abundant that three
fourths of the Republicans of New York
NeY Jersey, and Connecticut desired the
nomination of BmsTow. On the other
hand, the Democracy OF these States felt
for years the bllghtng influence of
TWEED, of Tammany, and the Canal Rings
and they know the statesman who has
done more than any other ten men to
deliver them from this curse and shame.
Hence the great body of their delegates
at 81. Louis favored the nomination of
THDEN. Though the people believe in
old-iashionod money, nevertheless, ms the
opinions thereon OF both Presidential cam
didates have practically removed this
question from the canvass they recognize
administrative reform as the main issue Of
the campaign.
The Democrats would seem to occupy
the vantage ground in this important
locality. New York, New Jersey, and
Connecticut, though unstable ut times,
could be relied upon by the Republicans
IN every critical emergency down 10 the

That Letter at Last.

At last Mr.. HAYES and his assistan to hav g
completed the letter of acceptance upon
which he and they have been engaged for
three weeks. 1t has been hard work for
him and for them. He obtained advice
about it from Washington by telegraph I;
he procured more advice about II in Phia-
DELPHI ia, during his late visit there; he had
further advice about 1t from VI. Louis,
aud we cannot tell how many other places.
Many hands have been engaged upon IL /;
aud II has probably been subjected to more
revisal than any other letter OF accept
ance ever written. He could not rely upon
himself IN q case in which there was so
much danger of going astray. A word
might have been disastrous to him; O
laundering sentence might have wrought
his ruin. There were many Interests which
he dared not offend; there were many men
whom IL was necessary for him to coucli-
ate. 1t was, therefore, very proper for
him to be cautious about the language to
which he subscribed, aud to be self-dis-
trustful at the opening of his career as u
Presidential candidate.
As soon rs he has announced his accept
anoe of the nomination, lie takes up the
Cincinnati platform. leaps over the fiIst
four planks Of It, aud lands upon the n fth,
which relates to appointments to office
Here he sings the old song. without giving
any ground of hope of the adoption of
q sound and wise method of action.
All parties, he says, up to this
time, have adopted the system Of spoils,
and he might have added that the Repub-
a. hau a
this system TO an extont never before
heard OF. Mr.. HAYES OF course expresses
his dsapproval Of the system. We do not
know of anybody who would express
approval of 1t. He holds that Office
holders should hold their Offices AS long rs
they properly perform their duties and
this of course means in fact, that the
whole EXISTING body of offlceholders shall
keep their places in case of Gov. Hayes
election.
Mr.. HAYES then stems of the platform
long enough to say that he will positively
refuse n second term of the Presidency.
He next takes up and approves the
financial plank OF the platform; and then
proceeds 10 ramble around the PLATFORM
without regard to the order of planks or
of principles, touching on the school ques-
ton, the Southern question, and the pros
poets of our country.
He has nothing whatever to say about
the reform Of the hideous corruption and
the gigantic political evils under which
the country is groaning, and from which
the people are suffering.
He has evidently taken the Geographic
advice that was offered him TO say nothing
for or against Grantism. He does not even
allude to that part of his platform which
endorses GRANT and Grantism.
1t is a weak letter Notwithstanding the
fact that so many politicians have assist ed
him in getting 1t up. Mr.. HAYES is not
the man for the times, not tue Reformer
needed by the country.
