ing and stupendoas exhibition CT irnpu-
dence the politics of any country can show.
That not having been elected, Tilden is
not de .iare President. That the Electoral
Commission was a perfectly fair, honor
able, legitimate tribunal, accepted by the
Democrats without any reservation.
That there was no conspiracy connected
with it. That the only conspiracy was
that of Tilden and his friends to buy
electoral votes at the South. And that the
denunciation of the Electoral Commits
sion because it did not give
the election to Tilden, is the
most contemplate, absurd, irrational,
and outrageous display of political whining
on record. That is what honest and IN
prejudiced people viii say in answer to
MIR. Tilden's questions, but what the Gin
cinnati delegates will say is of course quite
another matter. Whether the hero OF
Cipher Alley can stimulate his boom by
such arguments remains to be seen, but
however orthodox the delegates may be,
there appear to be great many of them
who would gladly rid the party of this Old
Man of the Sea who evineos so unalter-
able determination to ride upon its
shoulders to the last. We confess that
nothing would please US better than to
have Mr.. Tilden put at the head of the
Democratic ticket, for we should like to
have his claims thus squarely submitted to
the country, and to have the opportunity
for Analysing them and him that would
thus be presented.

DEMAGoGIsM.


The closing hours of the session in the
House Of Representatives were euliveued
by one Of those bits Of genuine delnagogism
which few politicians escape tic perpetra-
ton Of Hendricks B. Wright introduced
and pressed resolution that eight hours
work in all the departments of Govern
ment shall be paid for as ten hours. On a
gica uocc vote the majority appeared to be
against the resolution, but when the roll
was called upon it, only % votes out of I49
were cast IN the negative. OF course the
resolution Is a most iniquitous one. It is
establishing tax upon the people for the
purpose OF making privileged and pro-
tected class out of mechanics en.loyed on
Government work. 1t is the most offensive
and pernicious application of the protec.
tive principle, but nevertheless only 81
members of Congress were courageous
enough to SO on the record in opposition

The LAST VETO.

President Hayes has vetoed the Demo
cratic Deputy Marshals bill, and has thus
prevented the abrogation OF the existing
laws for the protection Of federal elections.
His message shows that the effect OF the
bin woald be to create nondescrips class
Of Deputy Marshals, without sufficient ju-
risdiction or authority, incapable of acting
under the present laws, and in fact practi-
cally useless and impotant. OF course the
Democrats fully intended to deprive the
Deputy Narshals of al real authority.
Then purp)s, was to preserve a sem
hIance Of fairness, by pretending TO pro
vide ios thc protection Of the polls at cleo
lions, but at the same time so to cmascu-
lste the Deputy Marshals' functions that
they would be powcrIcss to prevent fraud
and intimidation, President Hayes hss
quietly but efiectually blocked this game
with his veto, and his accompanying mes
sage is so clear and complete a presentation
OF The facts that it will constitute very
usetui campaign document. The Demo
Gratis IN the Senate were so chagr;ued at
the failure Of their assault upon the free.
dom Of the ballot that they violated par
hamentary decorum 10y refusing to allow
the message to be read. That manifesto
ton OF disgust and anger will not help
them, however. The existing federal stat
utes provide amply for the necessary Mar
shals deputies, and the refusal to give
them any appropriation will not prevent
their appointment when they are needed.
The Democrats have made an obstinate.
shameless and protraoted fight on this
question but after al they have sustained
an igrominious defeat. This is one more
among the good deeds OF the administra-
ton Of President Hayes.

The ApJouRNmENr OF CONGRESS.

Congress adjourned yesterday. in a more
than usually quiet manner, and the Demo
Gratis must feel that with all their oppor
tunities they have done very little to make
a satisfactory record for themselves. They
had splendid opening for the presenta-
ton of their free trade doctrines, and in
urging them they could have relieved the
press Of the country from real and seri-
GUS oppression. They could not, how
ever, make up their minds to do anything
in the premises, and the result is that they
have embittered a powerful clement against
their party, and made the approaching
campaign so much the harder. With
every incentive to economy they have
dealt SO recklessly and lavishly in the mat
ter of appropriations to internal improve.
ments as to exceed by more than hundred
per cent. the most extravagant estimates
ever before made for these purposes. The
country has not yet fully comprehended the
do'ngs OF Congress in this connection, but
when it does there will be plenty of room
for explanations on the stump and else.
where. The Democrats have enacted no
single measure of consequence or general
utility. Their whole time has been taken
up with partisan plans, and all their legis
iation has been inspired from the same
source They have thought only how they
could perpetuate themselves in power, and
to that end they have squandered the pub
lie funds in enormous and unnecessary
Southern improvements hoping by this
disbursement to purchase the loyalty OF
that section, and stimulate it to still
greater "solidity." When the work of
the session comes to be examined coldly
during the campaign it viii be seen that it
has added nothing to the reputation of the
Democrats, and that if the Republicans
have been unable to effect much more
than their opponents, it has been because
the latter insisted OH conffning action to
partisan questions.

he PRESIDENT AND THE CALTFoR-
TIA APPOINTMENTS.


The President and the California Con-
gressional delegation have fallen out over
the question of the San Francisco appoint
ments, the former claiming the right to
make the nomination of Morton to please
himself alone, and the latter contending
that no such appointment ought to be made
in opposition to their wishes. There is no
doubt that the position OF the President in
this matter is the only defensible one from
the standpoint of party doctrine. The
claim of the delegation is in contemptuous
defiance of the theory of civil service re-
form which has been adopted in the most
formal and binding manner by the Repub-
hcan party. Apart from this considera-
ton, however, there IS very little room for
choice between the two positions They
are both incompatible with any real reform
of the civil service, and while it may
be alleged that nominations By the Pres
ident arc less liable to involve demoraliza-
ton than the old practice, it is
evident that whether the President or the
Congressman make the appointments,
there is the same indifference to every
thing but political qualifications and
claims 1t is, perhaps, almost too much
to expect a frank and thoroughgoing reform
scheme from a party convention, and
therefore the deficiencies of the Repub
lican programme should not be criticised
too harshly But it is time the fact was
realized that the country can never obtain
the kind of civil service it needs by any
such methods as have thus far been in
dorsed by parties or attempted by the
present Executive. Mr.. Hayes has, we
are disposed to believe, at no time had
clear perception of the reforms he desired
to introduce For he has shown from the
first a tendency to attempt a compromise
between reform and machine methods
quite irreconcilable with any convictions
in regard to the nature Of the changes
necessary to the publication of the civil SER
vice. His failure is attributable to this
trimming tendency. It has alienated
earnest friends of reform, and it has failed
to satisfy those who cling to the old
practices. 1t has discredited the whole
reform movement, moreover, by disgust
ing half-informed people with what they
imagined to be the best obtainable results
of the policy. Now it is necessary to point
out that nothing like genuine reform
methods have ever been attempted at
Washington. There has been quarrel
between the President and the Senate con-
oerning the initiative of nominations,
but whichever way this quarrel terminated
5he people had nothing to expect
rom its consequences. True civil service
reform involves the abolition of the ap- |
pointing power for political considerations
and until we get that We shall
nave no real change for the better.
