Ono of tho most effective weapons used by
the Repul lean leaders in the Presidential
campaign was the charge that the success Of
the Democrats would inevitably be fotrtwed
by the payment of n great mass of southern
claims. The changes woro rung upon this
charge on every stump. and it was alleged
that more than two thousand millions Of
dollars would be required from the Treasury
10 foot the bills
The positive declaration Of Mr. THDEN
against the payment Of such claims, and tho
prompt response of leading Southern Demo-
Gratis fully approving his position, were de-
nouncod by the Republican organs as eva
siVe, and the clamOr on this subject con-
tnued down to the very close of the canvass
Thousands Of honest people were made to
believe There was great danger to the Treas
ury from this cause, and many who We're
really inclined 10 support Mr.. TrLDEN, voted
for Mr.. HAYES, under n deuslon that they
were acting ion the best interests of the
country.

The Fifth Arbitrator.

So the fifth Of the Electoral Arbitrators is
to bc Judge JOSEPH Z. BRADLEY of New Jer-
soy, Judge DAVIS having for personal rea-
SONS refused to serve. Judge BRADLEY is
u thoroughgoing Republican, and his ap-
pointment makes eight Republicans TO
seven Democrats in the Board. Some Of his
antcccdcnts are interesting.
Judge BRADLEY was appointed TO the
Supreme Court by President GRANT for the
wcll-understood purpose Of reversing the
previous decision Of the Court against tho
consttutiOnality Of the Legal Tender act. In
that case he did what was expected Of him;
but this neither redoundcd to his glory nor
to that Of the President who selected him
for such q job
Another remarkable act OF this jurist was
to hold Chambers In the city Of Newark, pre-
tending to hold them In Texas, whore his
judicial district IL. This was done in order
TO accomplish dishonorahlc transfer Of the
TranscOntincntal Railroad. For this act
Judge BRADLEY should have been i'm
pcachcd. We should add here that, previous
to his appointment to the bench Of the Su-
premc Court, he had been a railroad lawyer,
employed by the Camden and Amboy Com
pany, vet no stranger TO Col. TOM ScoTT. His
skill in drawing Legislative. bills, whose pro-
visions would bear construction in two or
more ways, was highly esteemed by his
employers. 1t Is also worthy Of recollection
that he was tho first President Of the New
Jersey Mutual Lilo Insurance Company,
which has just gone up in disastrous OK
plosion.
II * not surprising that the Republicans
should think the chances Of HAYEss cleo
tion very much improved by the selection Of
Judge BRADLEY. He is the man who is TO
make the President, and from his decision
there appears to be no escape except by the
united, concurrent, and almost impossible
action of both Houses of Congress.
