existed between a man named McWiggin ana

Thus writes Democratic friend. What
ever Interpretation our article may have been
susceptible of, we certainly did not intend in
writing it to charge the Democrats of this
city with borrowing " that flag. Our re-
ference was in an entirely different direction
So far as the Democracy of this city are con-
Cerned that flag was honorably obtained.
The closing paragraph of the above COM
mhnication is intended to be severe. To be
that it ought to be true-which it is not.

that this particular flag has been in use by the
Democratic party for the last ten OF twelve
years, and that the money was raised by sub
scription among Democrats, and fair price
paid for it In cash, we are compelled to ask
the question, is this in acceptance with the
letter and spirit of the pledge to your patrons
that right is greater than party interests,
and truth more important than party names. =
Is this the manner of carrying out your ideas
OF moral reform In view of the fact also.
that there is scarcely Democrat Ia the City
of Lambertville, who could not have given
you the facts, as above stated, for the asking,
what are we to conclude but that you would
rather, in substance, stamp as thieves, a very
large number Of your respectable fellow-citi-
zens, than run the risk of losing, by asking
for the truth, an opportunity to maize politi-
cal capital in favor of reform.
Make no more professions that TnE Re-
CORD twill give its influence and assistance to

of humanity but acknowledge that you ar6

that sometime in the future you may be able
to sacrifice yourself as post master or any

The Dying Throes of Grantism.

The venerable artist ROBERT w. WEIR
Professor OF Drawing and Painting ut the
United States Military Academy, who has
been on duty a; West Point since 1884. has
just been placed on the retired list, and to
all the vacancy thus occasioned the Presi-
dent has appointed second-Lieutenant
CHARLES w. LARNED, of the Seventh Cav
airy, 10 be Professor of Drawing, with the
rank. pay, and emoluments of Major Of
cavalry.
The young officer thus promoted is a
graduate of the class of 1870; and as he Is
not particularly distinguished as an artist
much surprise is manifested In army cir
Giles at the selection. A place like this
should have been given to some eminent
artist. There are many men who have
made name as painters, to any one of
whom this appointment would have been
national compliment. The pay of Major
and the free tenancy of the large and COM
Portable house assigned for the use OF the
Professor of Drawing, are no small consid-
GRAFTON. and amply repay the incumbent
for two or three hours daily attendance in
the Cadets Drawing Academy. And this
attendance is required but Ave days in the
VNSo NuiihB rtuuy ttIui,
very little over niue months of the year,
thus leaving the artist ample leisure for
the practice OF his profession.
But failing such, there are officers OF the
army who are not only well qualified, but
who have by their hard service won the
right to promotion and honorable reward
Yet all these are passed over, aud a Second
Lieutenant Of six years serviceis selected
for this lucrative post. The reason is un-
derstood to be that he is very intimate with
Col. FRED GRANT, and has made sketches
for the GRANT family.
1t is high time this professorship was
abolished altogether and its duties per-
formed by officers detailed for the pur-
pose large saving would he thus eff
fected, and the cadets just as well taught
There is no better time to make this change
than the present, and no better argument
Is needed TO enforce 1t than the fact that q
young officer has been found who. in the
opinion OF the Executive, is competent to
take charge OF the drawing depart ment.
