Meeting at Forest Hill.

st July 3, 1880.
MR.. EDrroR In aceordance with q
previous announcement a very res
spectacle number of republicans met
last night at Forest Hill, in the second
district, for the purpose OF organizing
a Garfield and Arthur club. Mr.. d.
Lee was called to act as temporary
chairman, and NJ. Roberts as secretary.
The chairman stated in few brief
remarks the objects in view, and
called on Hon. VIM. Rule, of the
CHRONICLE, who was present, to ad-
dress the meeting. Mr.. Rule came
forward, and in concise, eaustic sen
fences proceeded to review the history
of the two parties, proving to the sat
isfaction of every intelligent man
present, that the party which had saved
the union. elevated and sustained
the public credit, and brought order
and prosperity outof chaos, was more
entitled to the support of the nation
than an effete democracy, whose only
record was one of perpetual change
everything by turn and nothing
long,"
At the close of his remarks, which
were listened to with the closest atton
ton throughout, w. a. A. Conner
ESQ, was called for and made brie
and impressive talk. r
Owing to the lateness of the hour, /
was decided to postpone a permanen
organization till some future time
whereupon a committee of three wa
appointed to that end and the meetint
| adjourned. M.

MY DEAR SIR-The truthful, genial
temper manifested in your letter cannot
but increase the interest felt in you. 1t
will be good news in all time coming to
learn that such a life as yours unfolds it
self according to promise, and becomes IN
some tolerable degree what it is capable
of being. The problem is your own, to
make or to mar; great problem for you,
as the like is for every man orn into this
world.

service from such faction as the Dem |
ocrats are nowg The expectation of it
even is folly. II the Democratic NOM
hIee is,suecessful next Autumn there
will be universal change in seventy
thousand offices, but no selection FROM
fitness, no examination, and no ad-
vance in any Of our administrative
methods. We shall have the "spoils
system" over again IN its worst form.
With Gen. Garfield rs President we
have every reason TO expect gradual
reform in this important matter, and
all those who are most interested in it
would be likely to WELD influence in
his Administration. The drift of the
Republicans is certainly more toward
this reform than that of the Democrats.
When we come to the next vital
measure-which is to affect the condi-
ton of every man, woman, and child
in the Countrywide state of our curr-
ency, we find the Democrats far more
adrift from true standards than their
opponents. They believe in unlimited
paper and unlimited silver. They
have opposed all efforts to contract the
currency. Many have urged the pay
ment of bonds in deprecated money ;
all apparently desire to make silver
the basis of our currency. 1t is they,
more than the Republicans, who have
placed our finances in their present
extraordinary condition, where any ad-
verse change in exchanges would leave
this country with three currencies-
gold, deprecated silver, and depreciat-
ed silver-paper. We cannot, indeed
extol the wisdom of all our Republican
financiers, but we can at least say that
the party is committed to sound cur
rency and honest payment of debt and
sustaining the national credit. The
finances are comparatively safe in the
Republican hands. Where would
they be in Democratic hands? All the
Widest ideas floating through the
brains of half trained persons are rife
in that party. With q Democratic
President and Congress, no one can
say what may be done to put out of
order so delicate a machine as the ma
tional finances. The same general
facts are true of the tariff reform.
Neither party is committed to a thor
ough and radical improvement in the
tariff. But, certainly, whatever has
been proposed has come from Repub-
licans rather than Democrats. Mr..
Garfield himself is somewhat of lead
er in the direction of this proposed re-
form. Gen. Hancock has never COM
United himself on the subject. The
great improvement in this direction in
tightening specific duties is sure to come
from the Republican Party, if for no
other reason than because they are the
party of ideas. So equally with all
measures for human Improvement
whether in education, or sanitary sci
ence, or the arts, or in wise legislation
for subject races-who ever heard of q
Democrat in city, State, or Federal ad-
ministration advocating any wise re-
form? The reform element is not in
the constitution of the party. Unjust
be sought alone among the Republi-
cans.-NeU York Times.

WHICH is THE PARTY OF REFORM

A considerable number of young men
will vote this year on the Presidential
election who have never voted before,
and many of them will vote indepen-
IDENTIFY, that is, without regard to the
partisan views of their friends and rel
atives. In our colleges and profession
al schools, especially, there are hun
dreds of youths who purpose to vote
this year in u direction which shall aid
the great REFORMS which are needed in
the country without reference to par
ty lines. Party has less control than
it has had for years, and an increasing
number of persons throughout the I'm
ion are determined to break from
the ranks and vote as the best
reason shall guide. Waving, for the
present, any question as to the COM
parative merits of platforms or letters
of acceptance, as guides to direct the
youthful voter which party he should
follow, let it be assumed that the pro-
fessed objects of the two great divis.
ions among our voters are notso differ
ent as to materially influence the doubt
full elector. The only course left by
which to decide on the character of
each party is to retrace the past and
investigate the general features OF
the career of each.
1t is Il thing still to be proud of--and
one which even the voter who has
known nothing of the passions and
tremendous interests of the civil wal
should never lose sight of-that the
Republican Party saved the Union.
Whatever the young and the old citi-
zen enjoy now of peace and order and
liberty have come through the efforts
of that party. Had the Democratic
Party led the Union through the war
of the rebellion, we should now have
two republics on this continent, and
one martial and aggressive slave.
holding State, which would have been
in ipGessant border warfare with the
other, the free State. Or, as q worse
alternative, we should have had O I'm
ion cemented by slavery, with the
North conquered, and all the best
ideas of the age put back at lelst a
century on this continent. We do not
say that the glorious history of the Re.
publican Party is any excuse for laxity
or error on her part now. 1t rather
pledges her to new struggles for reform
and new victories. Still, the past of q
greet organization is some surety for
its future.
If we come, next. to the reforms
which have been begun since the war
we shall at least find the career of the
Republican Party much nearer to the
line of progress than that Of the other.
What little has been done in civil ser.
vice reform has been done under this
organization. 1t is true that not hall
enough has been accomplished ill this
direction by the Republicans, but We
ask any impartial voter what possible
reform could be expected in our civil

From this statement it will be seen
that the solid South increased the
national debt from a little over $780,
100000, to almost s3,000,OO0,000;
and that the Republican party, con-
trolling disorganized government,
and while reconstructing it upon the
