The West VS.. The East.

The Philadelphia Ledger's New York
letter, dated January 28th, has the follow
ing in relation to the state of feeling be-
tween the Western and Eastern Democra-
cy. We give it as part of the current
political history of the times:
A bombsheIl has been thrown into the
Democratic camp here by the Cincinnati En-
qfirer, in the shape Of its leading article of
yesterday morning, which recommends the
Western Democracy 10 cut loose from New
York, Connecticut and New Jersey altogether,
thus endorsing the proposition recently put
forth TO the same effect by Gen. Ewing, of
Ohio. The Enquirer says:-'sThe leaders Of
the Eastern Democracy, with their ideas,
ought to be tossed overheard. They are as
bitter enemies Of the people and of the ma
tional prosperity as any Republican can be.
They are cumberers of the ground. OF six
New England States they carry but one, and
that corner of the country that contributes
nothing to the Democratic party but heresy,
assumes 10 name its platforms. The rulers
of the Democracy in those three States are
extortioners, robbers by occupation, the tools
Of the money power, the enemies Of the peo-
pie equally with the Republicans
This IL pretty strong blast, and consider
ing that the Enquirer is a power among the
Ohio Democracy, the leaders here naturally
enough are asking what does It portend The
Tammany managers, who follow John Kelly,
say it means that ssthe Western Democracy
are sick of Tilden,' but the Tilden men say,
on the contrary, ut means that the West is
getting tired Of the insolence and dictation of
Tammany Hail. Either way, the editorial
has created great commotion in the camp.
and stirred up the elements of deal of future
trouble, should all these factions once more
come together in a national Convention.

New England Loyalty.


The barbed point in Blaine's speech
upon Massachusetts, disloyalty in the war
of 1s12-14, which gave it its sharpest
sting was its truth Messrs. Hoar and
Dawes could not extract it, neither could
Mr. Webster in his celebrated contest with
Mr. Hayne, of South Carolina. The fact
lives in history and ever win, to the en-
during disgrace of the old Bay State.
Massachusetts, was the first rebel and at
tempted secessionist. Blue lights we're
hoisted along the New England coast to
guide the ships Of the enemy, and New
England united in the Hartford Conven-
ton to separate that section from the
Union. But when their delegates reached
Washington upon their rebelliOus mission,
the Commissioners had returned from
Client with treaty ofpeace, which ended
the war and put stop to New England
secession and rebellion.

The Next Presidency.


The Frederick Union protests against
any other Democratic candidate for the
Presidency in 1880, than Mr.. Tilden. Can
our friend Of the Union give any guaran-
tee, that, if we re-elect Mr.. Tilden in 1880
he win assert and maintain his right to
the Presidency? As fraud was successful
in 1876, there win be strong incentive
for the Radicals TO try it again in 1880.
In that event the Democratic party would
not want timid candidate at its head, for
it does not intend to submit to be cheated
a second time. Could Mr.. Tilden and
his best man, Mr. Hewitt, be counted on
to assert his rights Would they not
wilt under Radical buster again, as they
did then That is an important matter
to be settled before the Democratic party
enters upon another presidential contest.
An impression is abroad, and we think it
well founded, that Mr.. Tilden would have
been the President. and would be in the
White House to-day, if he had had the
nerve Of Wade Hampton. We should
have no special objection to Mr.. Tilden if
we couldsfeel assured on that point.

Election of School Commissioners.

We notice that some Maryland journals
advocate the election of school commits
s'oners by the people, instead of the pres
ent mode of selection by the Judges.
Both parties are now represented in the
county school boards If elected by the
people some would be entirely Of one party
or the other. As the matter now stands.
party politics do not Interfere with our
public schools, but if the commissioners
were made elective, all would be changed.
The cause of education would be made
subservient to party success, and the whole
system would degenerate. Keep the pub
lie schools, at least, out of party politics,
and let well enough alone. Mr. Rayner's
project of having them appointed by the
Governor and Comptroller, is as little to
be commended as DR. Steiner's proposition
to elect them by the people. We need
stability in our internal polity. Incessant
change is not favorable to the public inter
est Our Legislators ought to have higher
aims in view than schemes for mere party
aggrandizement.

The Returning Board.

Messengers are speeding on their way
from New Orleans to the President to en-
deavor.to induce him to interfere in the
Returning Board trials. The conviction
of these noble patriots is conceded even by
themselves. Mr.. Hayes win hardly pre-
sumo to interfere with the course of jus
tiee IN these cases, but under the circum-
stances, 10 refuse doubtless places him in
the most awkward situation in which he
has found himself yet The reflection
caRnot be a comfortable one to our exem-
plary President, that the acts of these men
which sent him into the White House in
carcerated them within the walls of State
prison. Nor can he enjoy the fruits Of
their crimes without being p0yticps Grim
fnis Wells and Anderson and their col
ored tools, doubtless think they are the
victims of untoward circumstances, and
martyrs of injured innocence.

The Double Standard.

The advocates of single gold standard
would not prejudice their case In the
slightest if they would cease to denounce
all those in favor of adhering to a gold
and silver standard, as "swindlcrs," "re-
radiators and robbers" These epithets
are false in fact, and SO far from being ar
guments, they are bat esidences of the i'll
manners and vnlgarity of those who use
them. 1t is folly to call the policy of the
government which constituted our coin
b-@etalic one, composed of both gold and
silver, system ofrObbery, reputation aud
svindling. That policy continued from
the beginning until 1873, when the dual
standard was surrepdtiOusly destroyed.
1t is now simply proposed to restore the
coin to what it was before this xDwarrant-
able interference with it of the gold gam
blers of the country.

What WOuld Mr.. Hayes Do ?

What If Wells, who i said to have made
an appeal for Executive interpOsition,
should receive no eountenance or relief
from the President, and the Returning
Board, as they have threatened, should
nlake a clean breast of it, revealing al the
facts of the fraudulent connt in Louisiana.
How would Mr.. Hayes be able to hold gu
to the Presidency under such circum-
stances? Would he have honor enough
to relinquish the post ? or, would be be
honest enough to resign place to which
he Eas not elected by the people, after the
fraud which seated him had been fully
exposed aud confessed?

A Political Straw.

The Philadelphia Times, Independent, re-
lates how Washington newsdealer opened
a ballot box, one day last week, between
the Hayes men and the Radicals opposed
to Hayes The voting went en- all day
and until 9 clock at night, when the polls
were closed and the result counted by an
honest returning board. 1t was found
that 1923 votes had been cast; for Hayes
26, against Hayes 27Si There were 10
ballots upon which were written simply
the word Republican When the result
was announced cheers went up from the
anti Hayes party.
