A Stirring Address by the Republican
National Committee.

New YORK, Nov. THE following
address has been issued by the Republi-
can National Committee:
The Republican National Committee
presents to the country resume of the
sweeping victory won by our party on
Tuesday. November ,, which has been
so cheertully accepted by all thoughtful
and patriotic men and by the great bust
ness and commercial interests of the ma
ton. Garfield and Arthur have received
213 electoral votes. and will be inaugu-
rated President and Nice-Prcsdent on
March /. 1891. The actual result in New
Jersey. California, and Nevada is so close
that it cannot be aseertained until the
official count is made but We have rea-
son to believe that at least one and per-
haps two of these States have given their
electoral vote to our candidates. The
popular majority for Garfield and Arthur
will not fall short of 520, 900 in the North
ern States. The majority of Gen. lIar-
cock in the Northern States will hardly
reach lS00. If the Republicans of the
South had been permitted to vote as they
wished to. and have their votes counted
as they were cast. at least six of these

our ticket. The mainrtirS, therefore,

PoSTOFFICES OF THE NATION.

The 1889 postmasters of the nation
are connectected with a branch of the
public service which has been developed
into a system Of wonderful precision and
dispatch during the lost twenty years.
Steadily the percentage, of deficiency Sf
the Postotiice Department has decreased
and swiftly it's business has increased,
until $lli. ,O62 have been saved by the
Republican administration of the Depart
ment during the last two decades, al
though the business has grown ftom q.
$50 offices in 1860 to IL, 9S9 in 1880. The
Republican improvements i'll the service
include the postal car, now used over fifty
nine railways and by means of which the
time of delivery of mail is shortened one
fourth; the free delivery, which gives
eighty-eight cities the advantage OF
prompt delivery Of mail from door TO
door at a cost of less than one-fourth of
cent each letter; the money order sys-
TEN, a convenience which involves little
expense to the government but brings
much revenue: and the registry system,
which tried by Democrats for five years
and abandoned. was taken up by Il Re
publican Administration and developed
INTO the source of $3.50. - 4.aG revenue,
mostly profit, last year, and with Pre-
cision of operation which permitted the
loss of but, one registered letter to every
6, 1888 sent during the year.
An illustration of the tendency to lower
rates of postage is afforded Iii the intro
duction Of postal card, Republican
invention With WHICH the people would
part almost reluctantly n~ with the post
al service itself. The growth of the D,,si
ness of the postal service since the intro
duction of the postal card supports the
theory that lower postal rates will con-
| tribute 10 the welfare of both govern
ment and peopl@, 1t is probable that
letter postage will be feii.eed from three
to two cents within a few ysafs, Qn1er
Republican administration. The eco
nonical operation of the service has
brought the receipts ten per cent. nearer
to meeting expenditures during the last
| three years, and nov that Gen. Garfield
is elected, it is thought the l'4!stt office De-
partment will be self-sustaining t'StS,ie
! the end of his official term.
The Cecil Whig., 1880-11-13

Union party organized, for believe that
the government formed by the Constitu-
ton is Il nation. True. 1t is limited

to it by the Constitution, 1t is rs much
nation as any on the globe. But there
are certainly some marked federal lea
lures were incorporated to enable the
States to protect themselves from en-
croachments on their reserved powers
The Senate is the great federal feature of
our system, and was expressly SO ergan-
lied to represent and protect the States
as equals.
That is the Soundest and tcrSest expo
sition of the Constitution that has been
given by any Southern Democrat for
thirty wears. If the South gets ell that
broad platform it will soon become
solid" in the noblest and happiest
sense. On such n foundation it can
stand and prosper and maintain all its
legitimate rights, just rs the North has
stood and prospered and defended its
its rights. Mr.. Hills letter is full Of
sensations. He has one for Barnum,
which the latter is probably too much
demoralized to enjoy, in the following
pregnant paragraph:
| see a movement to make an issue on
the result in New York with view to
defeat Garfield i'll the count by Congress.
There would be great danger OF this but
for one fact, and that one fact is, the
South will not countenance it. The
poor, divided and abused South. if nee
essary, will once more save the country
from revolution. and, as before, will
get no credit for it.
But the most important declaration is
this:
really like Garfield | do sincerely
hope he will have successful admins
tration. He has the ability for the crisis.
He must feel keenly the fact that he is
elected solely by Northern votes. But
he has great opportunity and he can
if he will--easily and consistently de-
stroy all sectional animoSities and solidi-
ties. and be chosen for a second term by
a majority of States, North and South.
This opportunity is far greater than the
office itself, and if utilized will give him
a fame which the office could not give
and which no previous President attain
ed. But will he do it? greatly hope
he WILL and greatly fear he will not.
SO the Solid South is dissolving,
before the votes have been counted that
insure the election of Garfield.

TEN-CENT LITERATURE.

We do not mean "dime novels, but
the editions of standard works which sell
for ten, twenty, twenty-five and thirty
cents. and which some of our pub
fishers have found it expedent to issue
either to defend themselves against plra-
teal publishers who could print ten-ccnt
literature if they did not, OF for the sake
of profit 1t matters little, however,
what their motive may have been, ten
cent literature has become 4 common
thing, and is likely to remain so, what
ever may be the outcome of the present
movement for an International Copyright
Treaty. The people demand and need
cheap books, and wherever there is de-
mand in any sort of trade there is sure
to be supply, not because it is sabstractly
lust that such should be the case, but be-
cause those whose business it is to supply
the market of cheap literature will al
ways find it to their advantage to do so.
Fear has been expressed that if Amerl-
can publishers secure by treaty such pro-
lection as shall relieve them of all danger
of having their reprints stolen and rcis-
sued in such form as to undersell them,
they will cease to publish cheap editions
themselves. and that the poor who can
not afford the expensive editions will be
thus deprived of their only means Except
in the cities where very large circulating
libraries exist) of becoming acquainted
with such standard and current prints as
are worthy of being called literature. We
do not expect then any such dearth of
low-priced novels and other popular writ
ings will ever occur. The profit of issu-
ing such books as all people can buy
having been once demonstrated, it is
scarcely possible that their publication
should ever cease, especially i'll this
country. where all classes read incessant-
", and where even those who can afford
extensive books. unless they belong to
the .'shoddy" class. to read. and there
fore prefer moderate priced publications
TO those of rich appearance. In word.
as there is a market for there will always
! be a supply of books of all prices. IRON
the most expensive English editions to
! the ten cent literature of the day. and no
treaty. made chiefly for the protection OF
authors, is at all likely to rob the poor
man of his books.

THE "MOREY" FORGERY IMMENSE IN ITS
NAsTINEss.

Link by link the chain Of testimony
establishing the infamous character OF
the "Morey forgery is being wrought.
The self-confcssed perjurers, upon whose
testimony the Democratic managers re-
lied, now stand before the world i'll their
naked hideousnesS. 1t is no wonder that
it proves a first class sensation, since it
unexpectedly involves men of pretentious
regulations. personally as we'll As politi-
cally. Even Maryland Hancock cleo
tor is implicated in the case as having
had O'Brien, one of the perjured wit
nesses, in training" at Cumberland, at
the instruction of the National Demo-
cratic Committee, which is already c""-
ricted of having paid its check for Sl3o
to one of the self-confessed perjurerS.
Oh, It's immense in its nastiness. this
.sMorey" disclosure To respectable
Democrats it must prove a humiliating
chapter in the history of the recent Pres
idential campaign. But few hours
must elapse ere the entire history OF the
forgery will be before the public, and
Barnum and his associates will be made
eternally infamous.
