Gen. Garfield on the Maine Troubles
- From the National Republican

Il
General Garfield having been
quoted in an evening paper as hav-
ing consulted the President On the
subject of the trouble in Maine,
said to a representative of the
National Republican last evening:
81 have never spoken to the
President on the subject of the
trouble in Maine nor heard word
from him upon it, and therefore
have no knowledge whatever as to
his opinion. But as to myself, I
have no hesitancy in saying that
there are two questions for the Re-
publicans Of Maine to inquire into.
First, are they equitablv and justly
entitled to the majority Of the Leg
islature? [ Understand they are by
common consent. I also understand
that it is not denied that they have
carried fairly majority in both
Houses Of the Legislature. The
second question is of very grave
Importance TO all concerned, and
that is, have the Republicans the
law on their side? If, they have
not, they have got to submit to the
injustice of having the law against
them and the equity for them. If
they have the law ON their side, if
the Democrats have violated the
letter of the law, as well as its
spirit, then I say that the Republi-
cans of Maine ought to push their
lawful rights to the fullest extent
of the law" =, -
''Ihen you do not counsel any
violent measures 2"
SIN no case would I go the frac-
ton Of an inch beyond the law, but
I would go clear up to its full ex~
tent, and if they have a lawful
right to organize the real elected
members into a Legislature and
elect the Governor and other State
officers by that Legislature, then
they ought to do it. But, of
course" continued the General, call
have said is hypothetical; as to
what the real law in the case is do
not know, nor do I know more in
relation to the whole question than
comes to US in the usual form,
through the meagre reports in the
newspapers
6" see the statement made, Gen
eral, that you have sent dis
patches to Maine ON this subject,
counseling the organization of a
separate Legislature ?"
eyes, sir. I see the statement
made, but [ have not sent dispatches
to any person upon this subject. I
have never advised any resort to
force. | do advise now to resort to
the law and of all the law there is
on the subject. It is not enough
for people to be indignant at an
outrage; they ought to pursue all
lawful remedies to prevent an outs
rage being perpetrated.
"Then am to understand, Gen
era|, that you have had no confer
ence upon this subject, and given no
advice as to resort to force p
''None whatever. Without know
ing anything about it, continued
the General, sit looks to me as
though there were forces to work
in organizing this movement from
outside of Maine. That these peo-
pie were acting under advice of
party associates who had a pro-
gramme in which the Maine per-
Torrance was beginning, I have
no doubt. But this makes it all
the more necessary that our people
shall resist the first step of the pro-
gramme to the very fullest extent
of the law 5t8

John Greenleaf Whittier writes of ST.
NICHOLAS: st is little to say of this maya
zine that it is the best child's periodical in
the world" That it is calculated to delight
the little folk everywhere is indicated by the
fact that it is to be issued in French by Della
grave of Paris and that even the far-away
little Moslems are now to have q volume
made up of translations from ST. MICH
oLAs into Arabic.
Beginning with the November number,
this monthly magazine for children is
printed on heavier paper with wider mar
gins, and is SO much enlarged that each
number contains eighty or more pages, with
stories, poems, illustrated articles of travel
and description, pictures, rhymes, jingle,
etc., pages of large type for amusement of
the whole family. For the coming year
the publishers announce many brilliant
novelties, including
ANEW SERIAL BY MISS LOUISA NJ

There will be q series of Open-Air Papers,
by various authors. devoted to descriptions
Of outdoor life and incidents in many
lands; and a new department, 1.-THE

A Remarkable Crime It's Penalty.

A trial for one of the most re-
markable crimes on record has just
closed at Ashville, North Carolina.
The accused, VIM. Lidia, was ar
rested several months since, charged
Jointly with another man with the
castration OF Charles Morris, a
young man of twenty one, of re-
spectacle connection. Morris and
the accused had been paying atten-
tion to the same lady, but few
months prior to the occurrence for
which the accused was tried, his
rival got the better of him in the af-
fections of the young lady, and
they became engaged to be married.
Upon being informed of this state
of things, Lydia became terribly
enraged. A few weeks later, it is
alleged, he met Morris in the
woods, and, with the assistance of
a companion, threw him down by a
tree to the trunk of which they
bound him. Lydia took his knife
and coolly proceeded to unsex him,
which, it is charged, he did.
Whether this was done to prevent
Morris marriage with the young
lady, of their joint affections, is
not, of course, known. Lydia was
convicted and sentenced to sixty
years in the State Prison.

Chicago Times. Ind: The effect
of the election of Foster is easy to
canvass. First of ali,it brings Sher-
mans Presidential candidature to
the front, and makes Grant less a
necessity as the Republican candi-
date next year. If so uncompro-
missing a gubernatorial candidate as
Foster can carry Ohio, any Repub-
lican candidate can carry it. Eos
ter was a representative of the
machine, He was without ele-
ments of personal popularity. He
was not soldier, having devoted
himself to the task of shovellng su
gar in a country grocery during the
war. In 1876 and 1877 he gave
himself an unpleasant odor before
the public by taking a conspicuous
part in the negotiations for the pur
chase of Louisiana, and subse-
uuently he became the hero of the
odious Wormley Hotel compact
with the Confederate Brigadies.
There was nothing about his record
to arouse enthusiasm in the Repub-
lican ranks. His election is the re-
suit of other causes than his own
popularity. These causes were I'M
doubtedly the distrust of the Solid
South and the soft money record
of the Democratic party. In the
Republican canvass the hardmoney
issue was made subordinate to the
Solid South issue, but it was never
theless used to advantage. The
Confederate Brigadiers, first and
foremost, did the mischief. But
while this is unquestionably the
case, and while the result shows
the wisdom of the Republican lead
ers in putting the sectional issue
foremost, it does not prove, wha
many of the Stalwarts maintain
that is a necessity. 1t shows tina
any other Republican candidate cal
run as well on the sectional plat
form as Grant can. Fosters de
, feat would have been the onl,
thing which, in the Republican par
ty view, would render Grants nom
nation necessary.

they are. all lnclining to compro-
mise on Grant. At the bottom of
their hearts I believe they prefer
Grant first, last and always. l
hardly ever meet with a Democrat
who is not in favor of Uncle Sam
my Tilden, and they say if he is
elected again he will take his seat
in spite of everything. Mr.. Thur
man is barely mentioned as pos
sible candidate.
The Ohio Democrats are crest
fallen to-day, but they will to- NOR
row be on their legs again and
ready for another fray. They are
wonderfully plucky.
If, as is claimed, the Republicans
have gained the Legislature they
will shortly be at each others
throats about the United States
Senatorship. Garfield appears to
be the foremost in the start. B. G.

The Ohio Lesson.

The history of the democratic
party is marked by a series of blum
ders that would bury an organiza-
ton not upheld by the mate merit
of its priciplies. When a man de
cides to accept disreputable aid to
secure his aims, no matter how
pure these aims, he deserves to fail.
The democratic party is a party of
purest principles, but whenever it
attempts to shoulder a heresy, or
employ a traitor, or cringe to an
idea, or fawn before a man, or in
any way compromise one OF its
principles, it Will and ought to suf-
fer defeat. In Ohio it criDged to
the greenback heresy and slobbered
over an insane idea and backed
down from it's manhood, and an
overwhelming defeat followed. With
Bishop upon a Simon pure platform,
it might have succeeded; but even
in defeat it would have been saved
a disgrace. 1t belittled itself and
engulfed itself in disaster. Ohio
was already republican and its loss
to democracy is no loss, but the APP
pearance of the party IN cringing,
fawning, trading attitude will belit-
tie it elsewhere. In New York the
party has knuckled to Tammany,
and now although brave men are
trying to throw of the yoke, it re-
mains to be seen whether a straight
forward fight upon a straight out
democratic principle can succeed.
In Massachusetts 1t has kissed the
cloven foot of the Beast, Until de
cent men think of Massachu-
sets democracy only with disgust.
In Tennessee it has been dragged
down and wallowcd III the filth of
Reputation until it will take
mighty effort to hold its head above
the waves of a monstrous disgrace.
In every State it has stopped to
some littleness, and it is no excuse
for it to say that the opposition is
dishonest and corrupt. Greenback-
cry was begotten and reared upon
the pap of radIcalism, and every
time that democracy has truckled to
it it has been sent to grass. We
have a party with the grandest
principles ever essayed for the gov
eminent of men, party charged
Just at this juncture with a most
stupendOus trust-that of rescuing
the government from disruption
and centralism. We cannot afford
to compromise with fraud, or asso-
ciate with dishonesty, or commits
sion traitors, or back down from
the right. We must march straight,
If we would succeed. Ohio teaches
these lessons, and it is not too late
to profit by them.

The Ohio Election,

Although the official returns are
not in from three or four counties,
the result in Ohio may be stated
Fosters majority is $4,000. The
Legislature is republican-the senate
by a majority of aDd the house by
"A, making a majority OF 81 on joint
ballot. The above is as near the
exact result as can be arrived at in
the absence of official returns from
the few remaining counties, and it
is near enough to show US that the
democrats were ingloriously beaten.
