THE swEEpING PROCESS.

The Buffalo Express takes issue with THE
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN on its suggestion
that the departments should be swept and
cleaned of the democrats who are being
harbored there. 1t admits "that the adj
minstration deserves all this obloquy,
"whether it now dscards it's democratic
"proteges or not, because it appointed
"them in the first place" but it contends
that ait is too late in the season for this
administration to begin house, cleaning.
"The mischief is done. No doubt the
president is sorry enough for his political
sins, but there is no proper time left him
for bringing forth works meet for repent
"ance by turning out bad democrats and
appointing good republicans"
II it is ever too late to repent and reform,
then our cotemporary has us, perhaps on
the argument; but all high examples teac h
that these elements of human action can
be exercised with profit up to the houl
Of final dissolution. This administration
has an unexpired lease of power of some
eight months, aud to say that it should not
use that period in correcting the errors and
righiing the wrongs it may have been be.
trayed into during the past three years is
a proposition to which we must most de-
cidedly enter our dissent
We agree with the Express when it ex-
presses the opinion that this administra-
tion should aid the cause and help to
"elect GARFIELD, but we reach divergent
point again when it makes the proposition
that lit is altogether likely, also, that
"General GARFIELD would rather take the
chances of doing his own sweepinp at thf
propitious time, Hea spring, if the politi-
zeal tates so ordain." 1t is our opinion
that General GARFIELD would much pre-.
fer that this administration should leave
the premises clean and tidy when it yacates
No one wants to clean up after another be
they ever so dear friends aud neighbors
In this view of the case we think that
General GARFIELD would concur if con
suited.
We, nevertheless, shall continue to insist
that it is the duty of this administration tc
purify the avenues of power by removing
therefrom the enemies of the country ant
placing in their stead its friends and de
tenders.

POLITICAL NOTES,

GENERAL HANCOCK was q much better fighter
than Mcclellan. If he had not been he might have
become democratic hero during the war instead
Of waiting until fifteen years after its close.
A D EMocRAT1c victory means rebel victory in
so plain and dangerous certainty that the people
will never consent to It. The policy Of the gov
eminent would be dictated by caucus Of demo
crats-lo6 from the old rebel states and IL from the
north in the house 80 from the old rebel states
aud from the north in the senate.
As congressman, Garfield only crossed Han.
cocks path twice-once when he voted for the
resolution of thanks passed when Hancock lay
grievously wounded amer Gettysburg, seventeen
years ago, and again, when Garfield voted, with
the rest Of his party, to lay on the table rcsolu-
ton complimentlug Hancock for his conduct as
military governor Of New orleans.
GENERAL ITANcocKs blue uniform cannot con-
ceal the regiments OF gray and butternut behind
him. II was an old trick of the rebels during the
war to dress some of their men in loyal blue with
the intention of deceiving the federal troops that
they might the easier capture some strong position
they desired 1t did not win then, and 1t will not
win now. General Hancock was gallant leader
when he was fighting treason, with loyal logions
at his back but he will recognize the yell that
comes nom his followers now AZ the same old
Johnny" yell that he used to hear in his front.
AT the immense republican ratification meeting
held in San Francisco one of the speakers dis
coursed somewhat as follows Before the meeting
of the Chicago convention the Grant men insisted
that 1t was necessary to nominate strong man
one who had carved his name in the history of his
country with his sword-whlle the Blaine men
claimed that the man needed was one who had long
been prominent In the councils of the nation-one
known as law.makcr. The convention gave them
Garfield, combination ofthe sodierand the states-
man. This description of the situation was loudly
appauded by the audience.
GENERAL HANCOCK will not resign his commission
in the United States army pending the presidential
| election-so say all his newspaper supporters in
chorus. They quote rs the all-suficient prcce-
dents the facts that neither General Winfield Scott
| nor General Grant resigned from the army at the
| time they were candidates for the presidency. 1t
is fact that neither Of them resigned aud II is
also fact that the democratic press never ceased to
assuil them both because they did not resign. Tho
democracy is as inconsistent Oh this point as II has
been on every other; aud otherwise than moro or
less inconsistent 1t appears 10 be impossible for 1t
| to be ON any point.

untiring industry, and having always the
courage to express his convictions, he has at
toined prominent place as wise and safe
legislator. The high regard in which he is
held by his fellow-members was recently
shown in his selection rs the representative
of New York on the congressional executive
committee. The choice of comparatively
new member to participate in the delibera-
tions of this important committee, Of which
such veterans as GARFIELD, CoNdER, HAw-
LEY, DUNNELL, FRYE aud other leaders are
members, is an unusual event and indi-
Gates rare confidence in his wisdom aud
good judgment
In the state of New York, to a greater
extent than elsewhere, the unwise two
term rule prevails. We wish to see it over
thrown and the empire state accorded that
position of power aud influence in the pop
ular branch of congress TO which she is
entitled by reason of her pre-eminence in
population, wealth and enterprise. There
fore we rejoice that the republicans of Mr.
DwIGHT's district, having found in him n
representative who comes up to the full
measure of the requirements above set
forth realize that it is to their profit and
in terest rather than TO his advantage, that
he should be retained in the position he has
so ably filed

SECRETARY SHERMAN ON THE sITUA-
TON.

Secretary SHERMAN has yielded TO the
wiles of the interviewer, and has given
utterance to some sentences and views OF
the situation which are worthy of atten-
ton That he feels keenly the barb of dis
appointment is evident in the declarations
of this interview. His ambition had taken
deeper root in expectancy than was gen.
orally supposed, This, however, is not un-
usual for every heart knows its own sor-
rows best If we are to credit this inter
view that Cath has given to the public,
the secretary has cause for being grieyed
over the insincerty Of pretended friends
whom he had nursed into political life aud
promotion on his own bosom, which every
body knows is "keener than an adder's
tooth " to bear We were apprehensive
that the secretary was being deluded dur
ing the canvass by the batteries and du-
plicity of mere sycophants and parasites,
who were fastening upon him for sinister
purposes but i t was difficult TO think that
his chosen friends were to betray his conti-
dence and bring him to grief. However, II
we interpret this interview correctly, the
secretary's koenest sense Of wrong comes Of

formed that the republicans are not wait
ing upon the movements of Senator BLAINE

arc all made, except in the first district, in
which Mr. REED will probably be renomi-
mated in few days He will have close
fight for his district. Mr.. FRYE will be un-
doubtedly reelected from the second dis
trict by an increased majority. His oppo.
nent is ex.Councilor FoGG of counting
out inlamy. In the third, BLAINE's old
district, Mr. LINDSAY will get an old
fashioned majority. In the fourth district
things are not so satisfactory. There is an
absolute majority Of nearly 5000 to over
come. Captain BoUrELLE is a hard worker
and LApD has not been satisfactory to the
democrats. The majority against the re-
publicaus will certainly be reduced, even
if we fail to bring in Captain BoUTELLE.
in the fifth, HALE's district, the republicans
are very confident.

cossful such miscegenation ticket as that
presented to oppose the republicans, Every
element of folly, corruption, public dis,
honesty, disorganization and political dick
ering is embodied in it, And yet the
record of the past five years shows that
there is danger that the bargains will b,
carried out.
There has been much outcry for Mr.
CoNKLING and Mr., CAMERON to get theil
armor on aud to take the lead in their
states. We should think that Senator
BLAINE might be called upon pretty loudly
also. He ought to know that if he loses
his state that BLAINE of Maine will ceas;

National Republican., 1880-07-10

the belief that Governor FOSTER had en-
tered his service with a presidential
bee in his own bonnet, and when he dis
covered that his bee would be crushed in
BLAINE's defeat--for the latter never at
any time in the history Of the convention
stood the remotest chance of nomina-
ton" he thought he would push GAR
"FGELD up to the point, that he could take
" his place in the senate"
The sequel is well known. FOSTER de-
serted SHERMAN aud joined the GARFIELD
boom, as is well understood but the mo-
settled with his own conscience and Secre-
tary SHERMAN, who seems to fancy that
but for this change of attitude he might
have borne Off the presidential prize him
self We think we can sec where some
grave mistakes were made in the Chicago
convention. If the friends of Secretary
SHERMAN would have entertained the
proposition to pool his fortunes with those
of General GRANT under an arrangement
by which one or the other wo uld have been
nominated the case might be far different
now. But there were among Secretary
SHERStAN's supporters some who bitterly
hate General GRANT, and who sought this
occasion to revenge their spite, aud SHER-
MAN was laid upon the altar as part of
the sacrifice necessary TO crafty motive
which neither dignics nor glorilies the
human character.
Now Secretary SHERMAN, General
GRANT and Senator BLAINE stand together
in the valley Of disappointment. They
Jared alike ut the hands of the convention,
except that General GRANT has the salts
faction of knowing that 306 friends stood
faithfully by him to the end, while Secre-
tary SHERMAN and Senator BLAINE find
themselves deserted by their friends, who
have gratified their own preiudices and
spites ut their expense This is just how it
happened, aud General GRANT and his
friends have no griefs to vent over the re-
suit. 1t might have been different, but it
is not, and those who stood by General
GRANT to the end will now stand as firmly
and devotedly by the standard of GAR
FIELD and ARTHUR as they did by him
until the battle is fought and the victory is
won. They do not grieve, but they cannot
suppress feeling of regret that the thing
which should have been done at Chicago
was not done, for the sake of the nation
and the republican party.
In any event, Secretary SHERMAN can
lay no measure of his disappointment at
the door of the friends of General GRANT.
They treated him respectfully throughout
the canvass, and next to their first choice
he stood intrenched in their friendships
more strongly than any other name before
the convention. 1t was the fault of his
friends in that body that this friendship
was not utilized to his advantage.
