as applied to official position, and
official duty, Is one Of unmitigated atroc-
ity. Although ii may he claimed that the
expression was used figuratively by its
author, il is very certain that the prlnc-
pies has been applied practically, and that
the decentralization of political parties
during the last forty years Of our history
is largely attributable TO this fact. as dis
graceful as il is dangerous to the future
of our country. Men have been elevated
10 positions for which they are wholly UNI
tit, either morally or intellectually. IN
consideration of mere party service reil-
dered or expected. lhere are
no spells Of office unless the official Is
willing 10 become robbcr. No constit-
ucncy elects men To judiciary positions

Here We haye,'iu Chicago utterance
made IN November, 1871, the exact ideas
and almost the language of Hayes letter
in regard to the disposition of office. and
the contradiction OF that scandulous
heres-ay that plumber Is the rightful re-
ward OF party success. Substantially the
same ideas appeared later in "a guberna-
toriSl inaugural delivered In kentucky.
Ii is quite possible that Mr.. Hayes
adorned his political scrapbook with the
enunciations of Gen. White. or rs they
were latter used in the Kentucky inaug-
ural. and that extract thus sciSsored and
paSted hy him has Just done duty in his
letter of acceptance.
The origin of this new doctrine is not
especially Of account. except as going to
show that one of the phases Of Hayes
letter. over which his admirers. and pre-
tended admirers, are gushing with adj
mirauOn. is not OF his evolving. but un-
mi>taSably a stolen-or borrowed with
out Crcdit-enuuciation. The real queS-
ton which concerns people is Is 10 his
sincerity, As 10 his Willingness to apply
these principles, if elected. There is no
reason whatever for supposing that Mr..
Hayes intends il as anything more than
"glitiering generality" 10 be used only
till the close of the presidential cam
paign. Indeed. were il to be
sincerely believed that he really
means what he says and that he would
give it practical effect. il elected. there
would be a stampede from his following
that would not leave him even color
guard. Nothing holds the Republican
party together to-day, except the "cohe-
sion Of public plumber Ii it ever had
a mission, it was long ago achieved: and
now clings together. and remains a
party solely for the sake of office-getti.ig
Convince its leaders that the spells do
not belong TO the victors, as Mr.. Hayes
really understands il. and proposes to
have it. in case he be elected, and every
one of them would turn tail on him in q
twiukling, and beg to offer their services
to the opposition.
