not the mere personal preference be-
tween citizens and States owe men of
this Republic. who might very well
have been chosen for 50 distiny uish0d
an honor. and for so august q duty. 1t
was rather q declaration Of that illustri.
Gus body In whose behalf you speak,
In favor OF an administration OF reform,
with which events had associated me
In the public mind universal, and the
efficiency Of demand for administrative
| reform in all Governments, and espe.
| cially in the administration of the Fed
eral Government, with which the Dem.
ocratic smasses everywhere, where in
| stinct have led to series of surprises in
popular assemhlages, and perhaps In
the convention itself. 1t would be un-
natural, gentlemen, II a popular move
ment, so genuine and so powerful,
should stop with three and one half
millions Of Democrats; that It should
not extend its contagion to that large
mass of independent voters who stand
between the parties in country. and
to a portion of the party under whose
charge the administration to be cor
rected have grown ny; and, perhaps,
in what we have witnessed, there may
lie an augury in respect to what we
may witness in the election about 10
to take place throughout II country.
At least let us hope and believe 80. 1
am not without experience Of the diff
Guilty and labor Of effecting administra-
tive reform when it requires revolution

lished In the Government. If l were
to judge by the year and . half which
l have been in the State government,
I should say that the routine duties of
trust which I have had impressed IN me
are a small burden compared with that

have been tainted, or with evils to be
redressed, or nave been incapacitated
by habit or federation of wrongs to be
corrected to which they have been con-
senting witnesses. ], therefore, ii your
choice should be ratified by the peO-
pie at the election. should enter upon
the great duties which would fall upon
me, not as q holiday recreation. but
very much in that spirit of consecra.

The Press on JEWELS Resignation.
A S~un's'editorial says: Jewell's dis
missal was unexpected, ignominious
and mo%rtifying.
The Times says Jewell has been
turEed nut of the Cabinet with as little
ceremony as II he had been a serving
man in the Presidents household
Jewell may have deserved this treat
rnent, but IT he did the President owes
IL to the country to explain how. II
his resignation was demanded nut Of
mere caprice or from some motive
which the President is ashamed to
avow, Grant has put himself In a pc
sitiOn where his party will be obliged
