The press kilograms in our last repre-
sented the victory of Garfield as +" a Demo-
cratic Sedan that is to say, final col
lapse of the party in the United States.
Dismiss the idea. The Democratic party
has great mission and . grand destiny.
It presents. to-day the only practicable
rallying point around which the intelligent
and patriotic mind can gather for the
maintenance Of free popular institutions
in America The hope of the country,
under God, is in the Democratic party.
For the time, terror over the possible loss
Of an illusory and fictitious prosperity,
cooperating with an utter prostitution Of
Federal power and resources, immense
pecuniary outlay, and the most relentless
bulldozing, has won an electoral majority
for Garfield; but it may well be doubted
whether the popular majority IL not on
the other side, and whether the Demo
cratic party does not still hold the conf
dence Of the people.
But be this - It may, in the great and
fnal battle Of the people against place,

JUDGE POLAND ON GEN. GARFIELD.-
The World of the Slst prints the fol-
lowing: Montpelier, w., October 3d.
Judge Luke P. Poland, as President of the
Vermont Bar Association for the past
year, delivered the annual address last
Tuesday evening in Montpelier. On
Wednesday evening occurred the f" Bar
dinner" and after the dinner the WorlTs
correspondent had q long conversation,
in the presence of others, concerning the
Poland report" and General Garfield.
Among q number of other things, Judge
Poland said " The trouble with Garfield
is he has no backbone he lacks nerve !;
he is q fine fellow and very able fellow,
but weak; at the time of our report Gar
field ought to have come before us aud
explained everything a. it was, but he got
frightened concerning all the hue and cry
about the Credit Mobilier business, and
did not dare to come ont boldly and make
a plain statement. think he IL honest
and honorable certainly, bat greatly in
need Of backbone" All of which would
seem to show that Garfield was innocent
of intentional wrong, but when found out
lied about it. If this be actionable, come
on with your courts.

The New York Times. RspubI

The New York Times, Republican,
wants President Garfield to reform the
civil service m the South. It says: A
peculiar need and peculiar opportunity
10 offered In the South, because the Fed
eral service touches the people there at
more points and more closely. It should
be of character to command confidence
and compel respect. During the past
three years there has been something
done in this direction, bat much remains
TO be done, and al the changes have not
been for the best The tactics resorted
to before the Chicago Convention were
to the government, and nec-
essarily brought the Republican party.
into discredit and contempt. The great
est service Mr.. Garfield could render his
party would be to select for the promi-
nent positions In the South men 81 triad
loyalty, Of high chsracter, o. acknowl.
edged standing in their respective CON-
munities, and with known interests there.
That il the building up " which the par
" solely needs.

The Montgomery Advertiser of the
9Th says: Lawlessness and oppression,
the proAigacy and plumber of the Repub-
lican party compelled the solidity of the
South. To that solidity more than ever
before she must remain steadfast and un-
movable. Under our benign home rule
our people have prospered to a degree
that has astonished our friends and con.
fused our enemies. There need not be,
and will not be any let up" in the won
derful progress of the South under the
new regime, whatever it may be, which
the Republican party seek to inaugurate.
1t cannot materially affect the South. 1t
will, indeed, prove blessing to the ex-
tent that it will induce greater self-reli-
ance, greater energy and wiser efforts in
developing the wonderful wealth and un-
limited resources which kind Providence
has bestowed upon the sunny South
The sun will shine, gentle showers will
fall, seed time and harvest will still bring
their blessings, and our great staple must
continue to be power in the commercial
world, while our coal and iron and other
minerals will yield wealth of which the
world does not dream. Let the solid
South, solid always for home rule and
honest government, now give its greatest
vigilance and wisest counsels, not to ma
tional politics or to the conflicts and pas
sions of national parties, but to building
up and advancing our educational, moral
and material interests. Herein the South
is and must continue to be solid,'' solid
as her glorious mountains and strong and
increasing as the flow of her own broad
and beautiful streams. It may be that
Garfield will prove very different from
what his past record indicates. AS the
first officer of our great Republic, with
the responsibility of the government of
fifty millions Of people pressing upon him,
he may possibly prove wise and bened-
cent ruler.

Commenting on the result of the cleo

the elimination of series of blunders

and ending with the surrender of the par
ty the selfish whims of an element
which had Mr.. John Kelly for its COM
manding general and Mr.. Thomas A.
Hendricks as volunteer adjutant-blun-
derers fianked and supported and almost
overshsdowed by hating, limping cam
paign which crippled itself at every corner.
Whatever regrets we may have over
the result are largely tempered by the
fact that as far as the Democratic party is
concerned it will be effective in bringing
to the front new forces, new issues,
new men. The thoughtful Democrat win
draw from it consolation that much of the
rubbish that has formed the stock in trade
of shiftless politicians and reckless leaders
will be swept away and room made for
issues that are practical and paramount.
1t would appear that the line Of section.
alism has been sharply drawn by the vo-
tiers of the North, but there is nothing de-
pressing in this fact. We are willing
that the North should draw sectional
line in politics if the South be permitted
to draw too, sectional line with respect
to progress and Improvement Of those con-
ditions and forces which make people

their homes We have prosperous future

The abovefrom Northern Republican
speaks for itself. Honest Republicans at
the North vote against US of the South
because they do not understand us, but
those who come among us and learn our
real sentiments know that above every
thing the Southern people desire hearty
union and fraternity with their Northern
brethren, but that they cannot purchase
it by forgetting self-respect and proving
false to past record. The Southern peo-
pie of Florida clasp hands with all such
men as Mr.. Hill and feel that together
they will build mp in this sunny land
prosperity second to no other in the Union.
