1.-THE Republican Party"
The crowd which filed the streets of
Jacksonville last Saturday was a repre-
sentative crowd undoubtedly of men who
in Florida call themselves &C. the Republi-
can party" A person who seemed to be-
long to this crowd said, as they were
leaving on Monday morning, that the
Republicans of Leon county had come
along to show that there was no disaffec-
ton in the Republican party. So far as
could be seen, the crowd which surround
ed him and represented the Republicans
of Leon county, was composed of about
six women to one man, which shows how
an appearance of numbers is given to what
they call mass meeting. A respectable,
old-fashioned Republican, who has been
in the habit Of discussing the issues OF
the day and political questions with the
intelligent voters of his party, must have
found himself sadly ont of place In the
women mass meeting of Saturday, and
have doubted whether he was doing any
service to his party or his country in such
company. He must certainly have great
doubt whether q crew of excursion
lists composed mainly of women and chill
dren, with the representatives of the sub
urbs of Jacksonville, brought together to
bolster up the confessedly weak nominees
Of the party whose nomination had been
brought about by similar means, is the
same Republican party to which he be-
longed at the North. l.'.

A Crcel Disapv.insment to ..The
Nation,

Mr.. Gar6eld's letter, which read as
tamely as message from the White House,
will prove cruel disappointment to those
independents who had hoped to find in it
a trumpet call, or at least some basis for
their assertion that it's author is "the
platforms best embodiment" 1t recalls
very unpleasantly Gen. Garfeld's role at
the convention of moderator and har-
monizer. As vitais historical document,
it bears no comparison with Mr.. Hayes
letter, and will pass into as speedy obliv-
ion as the platform which inspired it.

Baltimore Gazette July III
Judge Black has been abundantly
quoted as the special apologist for Cen
eral Garfield, but letter just written to
the editor of the Philadelphia Times by
the veteran lawyer puts rather damper
upon this assertion. "If," says Judge
Black, "he (Gar6eld) would carry the
principles which regulate his private life
into his public conduct he would make
the best Chief Magistrate we have ever
had. But he will act for the interests of
his party, as he has acted aRhis lifetime,
and that will require him to take the ad-
vice which Stephens gave to Montpelius
in the buckshot war. do not know any
really good man who has done and assist
ed in doing so many bad things in poll
tics as General Garfield" For general
Hancock. on the other hand, he has only
words of praise. " you let DROP" he says,
"an expression in 1868 concerning Gen
eral Hancock and his then particular
friends which impressed me with the no
ton that you did not admire either him
or them up to the point of their merits. II
see now that you appreciate not merely
his gallantry and heroism as soldier,
but those far higher qualities Of mind and
heart which go to form the character of Q
great ruler in constitutional govern
ment." Judge Black is the personal
friend Of both the candidates, but. as will
be seen from the above, he does not hest
tate in deciding between them as to which
will be the better President. ls

An 1872 Pensloner-

Betsy Elwell, OF Maine, has applied to
Congress to be pensioned as the widow Of
jeremiah ElweIl, private in the wal
Of lol2. Mr.. Far reports that at the
time of ElwcIl's death she had been liv-
ing with him as his wife for upward Of if
ty years. 1t appears, however, that her
marriage to him was illegal, for the rea-
son that said ElWell then had another
wife living, from whom he had not been
divorced according to law, but who had
deserted him, and was living with anoth-
er man as his Wife, and by whom she has
had eight children, never having had any
by said ElWell that she is long since
dead, and thus no claim can be present
ed by her. In view Of these facts, and
for the reason that the petitioner was to
all intents and purposes the only wife Of
klwell for the greater portion of his life,
the House committee has reported through
Mr.. Farr bill paying her the pension to
which she would have been entitled had
she been legally married.

Only four states now elect a Governor
every year, sixteen once in two years,
two once in three years, and sixteen once
III four years. Three elect their Senates
annually, eleven once in two years, one
once in three years, and twenty-t three
once IN four years Eight states elect
their House Of Representatives for one
year, and thirty for two years. Maine,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con-
necticut are the only states which elect a
Governor every year The only states
with any annual state elections outside of
New England, are Minnesota, Wisconsin,
New York and New Jersey. The idea
that lengthening of the terms Of office,
a saving Of the annual hubbub of an cleo
ton, will in some way draw the govern
ment away from the people, is so ridicu-
lous that it could only originate with
demagogucs, though it is true that num-
erous men are misled by it.
