Mr.. Viewers Southern Lesson,
Philadelphia North American.

Philadelphia North Americana
Mr.. Viewers faith in Cancellation by abject
surrender was SO profound that he conceived
the novel idea of making personal canvass of
the South in the interest of his own candidacy.
He set in with his plough on one side of Ala
bama, and passing across that State turned a
double furrow ON his return. 1t was reported
that his meetings were well attended, and that
the opposition to bourbonism was lively and
increasing in volume. We mote, however,
that on his return to the North Mr.. Weaver
limited that with "a free ballot and fair
count" there could be no solid Democratic
party in Alabama. But he was shrewd
enough to add that fair count in Alabama
was not assured. He seemed to scent fraud
afar off, though six months ago he was as
ready to sneer at the imputation of fraud in
that quarter as any bourbon of them all. Mr.
Viewers hints before the Alabama election
have doomed into open and positive charges
since that event. He now saws there is no
such thing as a fair election in the South. and
though he used to hold that Mr.. Tilden was
elected, he is now quite ready to abandon that
holding 1t makes a difference whose OK is
gored. So long as the Republican animal
came home with bloody TANKS, he was properly
skeptical. Like many others, he was rather
inclined to think that the Republicans gored
their own OK. Will the result teach him any,
thing? Will he recognize the fact that abject
surrender to the SCOnfederates can have but
one result, no matter what party makes it?
Will he and his fellows learn tnat none but
Democratic oxen can Craze the green pastures
in that quarter in peace?

Garfeld's Speeches.
GChicapo Times.

The candor of impartial criticism compels it
to be said that of the 80 or 60 brief impromptu
speeches which Mr.. Garfield has made during
his journey TO New York and return, that in
some respects they are very remarkable.
Though there was, throughout, needlessly
careful avoidance of any expression of opinion
upon unsettled political questions, it cannot be
said of any one of them that it was an express
ion of words without ideas. There has, per-
haps, never been made in this country, by any
one citizen, an equal number of impromptu
responses TO popular greetings that were so full
of ideas, clothed in language of SO much force,
eloquence and beauty. Ordinarily, the pollti-
clan who is prohibited from "talking politics
cannot talk to a popular crowd at all; at least,
cannot employ words to express IDEAS Some
of the ablest of our Presidents under like cir
cumstances, have given utterance only to the
feeblest verbal inanities. But in all the many
responses Mr.. Garfield has made during his
journey, there is not found single inane ex-
preston. He has shown himself a man of in
formation and ideas upon other than polit-
ical subjects, who is at no loss to make appro-
pirate and very admirable use of them in a
quick emergency. 1t is not merely in the art
of off-hand responses that few public men have
shown themselves his equal. but 1t is in their
fullness and eloquence of ideas that his off
hand responses rise pre-eminent over all
others

A Striking Letter from Him upon the Po-
litical Situation.
HARVARD COLLEGE LIBRARY,
GAAInRIRGE nn q 12S

HARVARD COLLEGE LIBRARY,
CAMBRIDGE, Aug. 8, 1880.
My DEAR SIR-Your letter of July 80, for
warded from Ann Arbor, has at last found me
here.
As you were informed by the gentleman
whom you mention 1 had hoped to be able to
do some work as speaker for the good cause
in the present campaign; for l have felt all
along that this is a time when no member of
the Republican party should be content with
the position of a merely honorary and non-
combatant membership. Were free to fol-
low the promptings of my judgment and of
my conscience, should instantly accept your
invitation and should place my services at your
disposal.
1t is real disappointment to me, however,
that am not free to do this. am here at
hard labor on this old library, engaged during
my whole vacation on researches for a literary
work, to the rapid completion of which am
so strictly pledged that 1 cannot honorably
undertake any labor that would interfere with
it.
But in this great battle, 1 confess envy
the men who are at liberty to 60 to the front.
use no catch words of partisanship, when
say that sincerely think that the success of
the Democratic party in the present canvass
would be a national disaster. That party has
no title to our confidence, but every possible
title to our distrust; and 1 feel that there are
Just now too many great interests at stake
interests relating to the very integrity of the
the people now and hereafter-for. us to dare
to take the risk of confding all these things to
party with record SO smirched. Surely in
private life we should not commit such folly
No sane merchant would be likely to appoint
as the custodian of his goods and his safe-key
a clerk who had been caught in the act of rob-
bling his store and setting it on fire, at the same
time dismissing from his service the very clerk
whose fidelity alone had prevented the at
tempted burglary and arson from being sue
cessful.
Aside from all considerations of political
principle which move me to desire the success
of the Republican party this year, admit that
1 am affected by one consideration of person
al character, namely, great admiration for
General Garfield. regard him as man not
only of great purity and frmnessl of character,
but of real genius for craftsmanship, and of ge-
MUS trained by books and by experience. doubt
If America has ever had another statesman at
once ADLER and more accomplished. 1t has Of
ten been a reproach upon our public system
that it leads to the selection of second class
men for the first-class offices. In the election
of Gen. Garfield we are going to offer a bril-
liant contradiction to this statement.
Thanking you for your kind letter, and with
best wishes for the success of your noble labors,
1 remain yours faithfully,
MOSES Corr TYvER.

OLD ORCHARD
Especial Despatch to the Press. l

Especial despatch " tuc Eress.l
OLD ORCHARD, Aug 1e.-The Republican
demonstration today was grand one Thou
sands of people came from all quarters. Every
train, regular and special, came laden to the
utmost limits of its standing room, while from
all the country around the farmers came in
with single carriages and double teams till it
seemed that some neighborhoods must have
sent every Republican within its limits to Old
Orchard.
The grand tent 200 feet by so. was fairly
jammed full within ten minutes of the arrival
of the special train from Portland, and the
best judges placed the attendance at over
10000. The spirit of the meeting could not be
misunderstood. The people came out to ex-
press by their presence and by the warmth OF
their reception of Gov. Davis, their detestation
of the attempt of the Fusonists to steal the
State, and to give to every man composing the
two parties now in opposition to the Republi-
cans due notice of the popular determination
to rebuke once and forever those who at
tempted last winter at Augusta totrample
on the rights of the people and the law of
the State.
The meeting to-day was mainly composed of
voters, men who listened to the speakers with
that intentness that the Republicans of Maine
of old wont to give to the discussion of po-
litical questions. Old Republicans, who have
fought the good fight for years, were here to-
day, and the young men of the party were
here, and there were also present hundreds of
men who last year. and the year before voted
against the Republican party, but who this
year, by voting for Governor Davis and Con-
gresham Reed, propose to show that they are
back in their old political home, that they
welcomed back to-day with open arms, and
were made to realize that the Greenbacker
who, deceived and cheated went out in 1878
will find no bitterness against him in the mind
of any Republican.
1t is difficult to fittingIy describe the scene
of the grand demonstration of to-day, the
grandest day that Old Orchard ever saw. The
massed thousands, the sea of upturned faces
that the speakers looked down upon, the old
time enthusiasm of war times, the ringing,
glorious outbursts of applause that greeted the
eloquent speakers the thrilling eloquence of
the distinguished speakers themselves, the
grand and imposing reception given to Gov.
Davis-a reception that told how strong he is
with the people,-al this and more went to
make up the whole of this, by far the greatest
t"Republican campmeeting" one man called
it, political meeting so far of the campaign
The organization was effected as follows, the
Hon. John Hail. of North Berwick calling

At 1:i0 the House went into Committee
OF The Whole on the report OF the Commit.

Ny. Reagan, OF Texas, spoke in opposition
to the proposed rule, which provides that
the Committee on Commerce shall report
the river and harbor bill merely for refer
ence TO the Appropriations Committee.
After some furiber discussion, In which
Messrs. Garfield and Hooker{of Mississippi
participated, Mr. Randall, OF Pennsylvania,
discaimed, in behalf OF the ComnSittee on
Rules, any intention ~ ablidging the power
OF any House committee or Of saying word
derogatOry TO any committee; but the river
and harbor bill had steadily grown year by
year from s2.000,000 to SS,000,000, aud he
thought II time The House he warned that
that bill should have fuller consideration
and he less excessive.
The discussion ended in an animated per-
sonal debate between Messrs. Randall and
O'Neil, OF PENNSYLVANIA, which was the Oc-
caslon OF much laughter and confusion, but
which had little to do with the subject.
Pending the debate the committee rose
and the House adjourned.
