bnt Gen, Garfield isa good administrator. That il
the difference between the parties and the candidates.
and il is big difference. The Republican party
under Hayes is administering the Government with a
degree Of efficiency, integrity, and wisdom which
conspirrs with other elements of thrift To make
prosperous and happy. Gen. Garfield ~ President
simply takes the place of Hayes in controlling and
improving this vast administrative machine. II
Hancock could fit in with little jar and dstur-
bance Garfield would, there would be little to
distinguish the candidates, except Garfeld's civil
experience But Hancock cannot at least will not
hit into the present administrative maehine he gees

men in their places, anil ON the mathematical law Of
probabilities, he will make mistake ut least one
time in ten. Garfield in four years would have To
pick out for office but few Thousand men, and most
ly by promotion; Hancock will attempt at once TO
pick out 100000, with nothing to promote FROM His
10000 inevitable mistakes scattered the country
