the letters written by the candidates, We have
also the State platforms adopted by the Re-

the proceedings and the platforms OF the

lations of relative gain nearly valueless. The
circumstances operating to change the position
of voters are not the same in any two States
At the South, the Republican party has been
Frustrated through causes which do not exist
at the North. In the four close Eastern States,
it is more than probable that distrust OF the
Democratic party on financial issues. may turn
tho scale; in New-Jersey there is strong
local feeling on the school question; in New
York the folly and Bourbonism of the Demo-
Gratis are likely to prove fatal. On the other hand,
the personal popularity of Gov. Hayes in OHIO
might easily cause change of more than one
half per cent of the total vote in his favor In
Indiana the disgust of Independent voters with
Hendricks and Williams, and the popularity OF
Harrison, are special causes which might easily
counterfeit any Democratic gain due to infiu-
ences operating elsewhere. The arithmeticlan,
therefore, is on the whole fraud. He de-
serves notice only because his calculations
sometimes delude readers of fair intelligence.

A CIIYZEA,S E1DE MECTM

"The Hand Books of Politics" of Mr.. Ed
ward Mcpherson are well known. Their COM
piler for many years occupied the advantageous
position of Clerk of the House of Representa-
tiycs. and had thus an excellent opportunity
of acquiring a knowledge Of the public wants
and of the means and methods Vi supplying
them. There is a certain kind of information
which every citizen should possess, and with
out which it may prove impossible for him to
think accurately, conclude wisely, or vote in
diligently; nor can he maintain his opinions
in those discussions which must inevitably
arise without good store of facts and figures,
or without a familiarity with some manual
which shall be trustworthy authority in dis
puted matters. Ii is rs necessary to be econom-
ical of time in political disputes as in any other
human occupation; and book which keeps
debates up to the mark of facts and saves the
conversation from laxity and carelessness is
as great blessing to the one it silences as to
the other whose correctness it yindicates MIR.
McPhersOn's litest Hand Book of Politics is
valuable alike for study and for reference.
There is absolutely nothing in its 262 pages
of which the American voter can afford to be
ignorant. 1t covers period of our political
history from July 10, 1874, to July 10, 1876
q period, it is unnecessary to say. of remark
able activity and Importance. We have here
given in full the various Acts and Bills relat-
ing to the reconstruction of the States lately
in rebellion: the Constitutional Amendments
proposed in the XLIIId and XLIVth Con-
crosses the Financial and General Political
Votes in the XLIVth Congress the sixth
and seventh Messages of the President, with
his Special Messages and Letters. Here are
the proceedings in the Belknap impeachment
Case given in full detail. Here are
Judicial Opinions and Decisions, State
and National, with constitutional Amend
ments made and pending in the several States
Here also are lists of the members of the
XLIIld and XLlVth Congresses, and Of
the members of the Cabinet. AS an in
stance of Mr.. McPherson's care, we may
notice that in giving the vote in the Senate
on Mr.. Pinchback's claim to seat, he adds a
summary of the whole case Of the Louisiana
vacancy, with succinct account Of the con-
troversy from the beginning. The whole book
isindecd made up upon this liberal and iudicious
principle. Thus the excitement on the silver
question prompts the collection in compact and
Ineligible form of absolutely all legislation
on gold and silver coin from 1892 to 1873.
Less than four pages tell the story, and the

THREE REASONS WHY INDEPENDENTS
CANNOT SUPPORT TILUEN

I. Because his election would mean the
triumph of soft money. For months before
the nomination Gov. Tilden had begun to
weaken on this point, to urge that the cur
rency question ought to be kept in the back
ground, to insist that it was better to get con-
troll of the Government before trying to settle
the finances. BY the time he came to write
his letter he had resolved to go far
enough to satisfy the infationists. He did
satisfy them. Gen. Thomas Ewing, jr, 1be
Cincinnati Enquirer, and the whole crazy crowd
who shouted themselves hoarse in denouncing
him before the convention and sulked in their
tents afterward, have been hearty and enthu-
siastc ever since his letter was published IL
he surrenders to them now in advance, what
would he do as President, when they had
clear majority in Congress
III. The election of Tilden would mean
the utter defeat of civil service reform. He
and his party do not propose to turn out the
incompetents they propose to turn out every
body. Last Winter they began by turning out
men who, under all administrations and all
parties, had been held indispensable because OF
their lifelong training for their work. They
filled the most delicate and responsible places
with incompetents, and the whole capital was
overrun with a horde of ignorant otiice-hunt-
era, scrambling for the vacancies that had been
created by wholesale. We cannot help II"
said one of the most intelligent and conscien-
tious OF the Democratic Congressman. These
"men, and especially those from the South,
care too hungry. No party could resist them"
If such was the invasion provoked by the
paltry patronage of the House of Representa-
tives, what would happen with the whole pat
ronage of the Executive in their hands p
Hayes would turn out the incompetents and
the dishonest. Tilden would turn ont every
body, good and bad, would make absolutely
every Office IN the United States prize for
present party service and would thus set back
civil service reform a quarter of century.
III. Tildcn's triumph would mean the sec
tional array of the solid South once more
against The controlling and better element at
the North. The country is not quite prepared
for that result of the war. 1t would be most
Injurious TO the South itself, and to the c0un-
try at large it would certainly be perilous.

err. IAN DusEps DISGRACE.

The dismissal of Capt Van Dusen from the
police force was even more summary than we
had anticipated when urging the commissioners
to prompt action two days ago. AT the first
glance the dismissal In disgrace may appear o
severe punishment for the Offense of not
knowing that crime against the laws was
being committed in his precinct. But ignorance
OF such matters on the part of the leading
officers of so important force as that which
is intrusted with the prevention as well the
detection of crime is very grave otense.
And when it is remembered that the captain
was warned that the offense was nightly COM
mitted within few doors of his station-house,
and that he reported next day that it was
suppressed when in fact it continued nightly
for several weeks, the residents of his precinct
will feel all the safer for his absence.
There are numbers OF other officers OF the
police equally ignorant with Capt. Van Dusen
of the fragrant commission of crime in the dis
tricts under their control. Ignorance itself,
as we have urged, ought to be punished IN
every instance as summarly as in the
present case. But the fact is that igno-
rance is pretended only to extenuate the grayer
offense of guilty knowledge. The captains OF
police precincts in New-York cannot long re-
main ignorant of the operations of gambling
panel, and other houses which, in order to be
successful pecuniarily, must have something
like permanent location and existence. They
cannot foresee and prevent murders and bur-
glaries and like crimes; but when they pretendig-
norance of the class of offenses alludedto, it may
be safely assumed that they arc in reality con-
niving ut them. The commissioners indicate, by
their unanimous decision in Capt. Van Dusen's
case, that they hold such theory to be the
correct one, and we are satisfied they mean to
enforce it. If they do they will not only put
a stop to gambling and panel games, but also
rid the police service of many bad officers.

II Democratic candidates for Governor consti-
tute a distinct political species, spacious margin
for functional and structural oscillation about the
lvoeol organism must be allowed. Ii must be
hghly diversified species which includes individuals
characterized by such divergence OF internal
economy and external manifestation as Mr.. c. L.
Adams of Massachusetts, and Dir. j. ID. Williams OF
Indiana and yet these gentlemen belong to the
same geological perod-have been evolved Ia fact
during the same Presidential canvass. This cassiti-
cation will hardly be accepted. These gentlemen do
not represent we are inclined to think, different
varieties Of the same species oven, but two distinct
species to wit the Democratic candidate for Gov
crnor who runs with o sickly hope OF success and
the Democratic candidate who is run for moral eff
feet Mr. Adams is emincntly fit to survive under
the latter conditions while the like Of Mr. Williams
naturally selects himself rs the result of tussle
with very different environment. The candidate
who runs belongs TO a more ad-anced political type
than the candidate who is pushed. Dir. Adams may
write letter to Mr.. Hugh McDermOtt or some other
gentleman in q foreign land but he never gets any
closer to the canvass He Is plant which requires
nurture and boss gardeners like Kelly or Bowles
must build glass house over him and kindle fire
20 keep him warm. Tho Williams variety Is more
rank and vigorous vegetable with saps and juices,
and ho crowds ont the delicate and ornamental
Democrat or covers him up. II Democracy ever
becomes densely prevalent in Massachusetts, the
Adamses as candidates will gradually develop into
Wilamses or be shouldered out of the way. The
moral effect candidate only needs to be conversant
with such trfes rs international law, while the
coming Democratic candidate must be a soiled and
aggressive personality, able to grapplc with the
great lemonade problem; and as time rolls on the
Adanses will gradually shed their broadcloth and
their grammar, outGrow the comitics of civilized
life, gorfy themselves with blue cotton trousers,
aud go in 10 win.
