GEN. ARTHUR'S LETTER.

Gen. Arthur's letter published i'll
another column, will, without doubt.
prove one of the most effective Republ-
can documents of the campaign.
He distinctly and emphatically recog-
nizes the fundamental principles of Civil
Service Reform. First, when he says
that mo man should be the incumbent
of an office the duties of which he is,
for any cause, unfit to perform, who is
lacking in the ability, fidelity, or integri-
ty which proper administration of such
office demands.
Secondly, he recognizes the principle Of
the stability of the tenure of Office, and
that position of responsibility should,
so far aspracticablc. be filled by the pro
motion of worthy and efficient officers.
The investigation of all complaints. and
the punishment of all official misconduct
should be prompt and thorough
Thirdly, he strikes at the root of the
practice of removals of officers for their
political views OF acts, when he says: 8
will add that by the acceptance of public
Office, whether high or low. one does not,
in my Judgment escape any of his rcspon-.
SibilitieS as u citizen, OF lose or impair
any of his rights as citizen, and that he
should enjoy absolute liberty to think
and speak anu act in political matters ac-
cOrding to his own will and conscience,
provided only that he honorably, faith
fully and fully discharges all his official
duties"
No practical Civil Service Reformcr can
say that these three propositions are not
sonnG, fundamental and wholesome. The
point of variance comes in when Gen.
Arthur says:
The efficiency of such regulations has
been distrusted, mainly because they
have seemed to eXalt mere educational
and abstract tests above general business
capacity. and even special fitness for the
particular work in hand. 1t seems to
me that the rules which should be applied
to the management Of the public service
may properly conform. III the main. to
such as regulate the conduct of success
full private business.
No sensible Republican will object to
Gen. Arthur's expression of his opinion
rs to methods of carrying out Civil Ser
vice reform, when he is SO explicit in
stating his belief in the Reform itself
His alusion to the currency question is
as sound and admirable us it is brief and
earnest He covers the whole situation
and the whole question when he says:
Our paper currency is now as good us
gold. and silver is performing its legiti-
mate function for the purpose Of change.
The principles which should govern these
elements Of the currency are simple and
clear. There must be no deteriorated
coin, no deprecated paper. And every
dollar whetherof metal or paper, should
stand the test of the worlds fixed
standard.
Altogether We regard the letter as one
calculated to encourage and harmonize
Republicans, and to enlarge and deepen
the personal popularity which General
Arthur has enjoyed ever since he
came into public life. His reiteration of
the principles of the party and his strong
and candid plea for its continuance i'll
power until its work shall be completed
will form abundant texts for the cam
paign.

mcnt their infamous force by fraud. The
testimony of Mr.. John |. Davenport be-
fore the Senate Investigating Committee
has brought before the public the facts
which support this declaration. The
facts do not rest upon the testimony of
Mr.. Davenport alone. They are either
already notorious, or susceptible of i'm
mediate proof. Mr.. Davenport states
the case, cites the sources of proof, and
leaves it to the Committee and to the
country to satisfy themselves whether
the frauds he denounces have really been
committed.
The victory of Seymour and Hoffman
in that State in 1865 was effected by as
atrocious frauds as were ever pcrpctratcd
in the politics of America. 1t is not an
unsupported assertion of Mr.. Davenport
that from GO, 600 to 10000 fraudulent
naturalization papers were issued i'll that
year, chiefly by Judges Barnard and
McCunn. UnmiStakable proof of the
frauds has been developed. When Judge
Cardozo began the issue of fraudulent
papers in 1866, the clerk of his court,
Mr.. Jarvis, refused to sign them, thus
marking at the outset the fraudulent
character of the operations i'll which
Judges Barnard and McCunn afterward
SO extensively engaged.
More than 80, 900 fraudulent naturali-
cation papers were used to carry the
State for the Democrats in 1868, and the
party has cndeavored to defend their use
in every subsequent election. Were it
not that Il large part of them are still
retained. the hope of the Democrats to
carry the State in November would be
utterly destroyed. Even with the dregs
of New York city to weight their side
of the balance, the Democrats could
never carry the State were every elec-
ton to be honestly conducted.
The Senate Investigating Committee is
brought face to face with an important
duty. 1t cannot honestly deny the truth
of Mr.. Davenport's allegations, and it
cannot deccntly refrain from making such
report rs will bring disgrace upon the
party which has perpetratcd and defend
ed the election frauds. The disclosure
of the whole history of the naturalization
frauds Of 1868 must prove damaging to
the Democratic party, exhibiting to the
nation the dangerous character of the
organization to which the election OF
Gen. Hancock would deliver the supreme
power. 1t is the growing conviction that
the triumph of Hancock would be the
triumph of INSCRIPTIONS men that is
| divesting him of the halo of military
glory in which his candidacy has beer
enveloped and the Davenport disclos
ures will deepen the distrust toward the
party at his back.

HANCOCK AND THE SOLDIER VOTE

1t is the boast of the Democrats that
Gen. Hancock is to draw heavily from
the votes of Republican soldiers in the
late war. In spite of the fact that, with
the exception of few soreheads who
would go wherever the chances for Office
seemed best, the Union soldiers who are
about to desert the Republican party
cannot be found, the boast is worthy con-
sideration. 70 the volunteer soldiers
and volunteer soldiers made up nearly the
whole of the army which saved the
lnion-the military career Of Gen. Gar
field, who. himself 4 volunteer. made his
way by force of his ability and bravery
to the exalted rank of Maior-General. is
quite as glorious as that of Gen. Ham
cock. But if it were not, none but a
dcluded soldier could desert the Republi-
can standard &c vote for the Democratic
candidate. Admiration fSr Gen. Hancock
as Il soldier is well enough, but his eiec-
ton would place party in power whiel,
which Union soldiers have little love.
Northern soldiers have reason to re-
member that upon gaining control of the
House of Representatives the Democrats
began the removal of Union soldiers
frOm office to make room for soldiers who
fought on the other side. and the party
that turns wounded tEi"i, soldiers from
office without reasonable cause eai,nGt
expect to control the Northern soldier
vote. 1t is not wise to stir sectional strife
but when boasts are made that Hancock
is sure of the soldier vote, it is well to
remind soldiers of the North that Han
cocks party is the party which has no
desire to see SCARED Union soldiers in
office. Democrats would never try to
put Gen. iiGaGGclt il the White House,
where it not that As dies candidate he

DEMOCRATIC ISLANDER

No serious effort has ever been made
to asperse and Witty Hancock, save by
the Democratic papers of this country.
which have bounded him for fourteen
years, as "thc murderer of Mrs. Sur
raft, with a malignity as iicndish as it
has been futile of effect on intelligent and
fair minded men. The Democratic pa
pcrs that now experience sudden in
flow of new light on the subject are sim
ply making the best face they can. while
they swallow their Slandcrous records.
And they are precisely the papers which
have been equally malignant and futile
i'll their assaults on the personal charac-
ter Of Gen. Garfield.
There is. however, this difference in the
results of the two campaigns of Islander.
That against Garfield fails in presence of
the universally understood fact that since
the alleged improper acts of Garfield were
committed and known he has passed sue
ceSslully four severe trials, while the
average American is opposed to trying
over again any man who has had one
trial and been acquitted. He was tried
bya congressional committee and by Con-
gress and acquitted, while other mem
bers of the House We're expelled on the
same charges. He was tried by his con-
stituents and acquitted and afterwards
regularly reelected every two years by
growing maiOrities. He was tried be-
fore the Legislature of his State and
elected over Judge Thurman to the SEN
ate, by unanimous vote and with his
great opponents cheerful and unreserved
tribute to his integrity. He was tried
before the representatives of his whole
party, at Chicago, and by their unani-
nous vote was told to ego up higher"
On the whole, he is the most and best
indicated man in the country, and all
the stale and exploded calumnies that
may be fired at him will fall harmless at
his feet.
But the Democratic ISLANDERS of Gen.
Hancock have fallen on soil all too ready
to receive them. Religious bigotry and
ignorance have accepted the charge of
Democratic papers that he was 1.-THE
murderer of Mrs. Surratt,' as true. All
human experience proves the impossi-
bility Of reasoning out of religious big
OTIS the notions that never got in their
heads by reasoning Democratic SLAM
dcrcrs of Hancock have sown to the
wind. Their party is likely to reap the
whirlwind.

might hide their lnSavory record, and
serve as Il decay to lure to their support
these very soldiers whose vote they now
boast to have caught. 1t has been the
policy of the Republican party to give
the preference to wounded Mon soldiers
i'll making appointments to positions in
the Civil Service: but it has not been the
policy of the Democratic party thus to
provide Tor them. On the contrary, ii
has deposed them from Office without
just cause. Is it reasonable. therefore,
to suppose Northern soldiers will be led
by admiration for Gen. Hancock's mill
tary record to give their votes to place
the Democratic party i'll power?
Old soldiers are too wary to be caught
by devices of ordinary ingenuity, and
they will not fail to see tile snare Demo-
Gratis have set for them. Great tlocks of
pigeons may be lured into a snare by
seeing one OF their number confined there
but the sight of Gen. Hancock i'll the
snare of the Democrats will not deceive
keen-eyed old soldiers into the enemy's
power. The position of stool-pigeon ex-
actly expresses Gen. Hancock's relation
to his party as Presidential candidate.
He is no representative OF the prevailing
sentiment of his party, and never would
have been nominated were it not for the
hope that he might attract support from
men who hate the principles and prac-
tees of the Democrats. Where the de-
coy to be successful. the Democratic
party, restored To power, would not only
dislodge thousands of wounded Union
soldier from office, but also pursue Il
policy Of government which would be
generally hateful to the patriots who
have borne arms for their country 5 de-
fence. But the device will not succeed.
The situation is daily becoming more
distinct to the eyes of such voters. The
Northern soldiers cannot be deceived by
| the Democratic stool-pigeon.

TIE case of Mr. Pelton, the nephew of
Samuel J. Tildcn who died of broken
heart, is beginning to attract attention
among leading Democrats. These we'll
informed persons do not doubt that Tilden
was at the bottom of the whole cipher
infamy, knew all about it and footed the
bis; but he found it coni en!cnt to make
young Peton the scape- goat and did not
hesitate to snub and mortify him in the
most hcartless and cold -blooded manner.
Finally Pelton died and carried the secret
of Tilden's knowledge of and completely
in the frauds of 1876 into his coffin. Pei
ton had nothing except what Tilden saw
tit to give him. and being poor and the
nephew of his uncle. he bore all rather
than give the latter away and at the same
time face povcIt;. 1t is Il case of de-
pravity and in%ratitude combined that

obtained there by overwhelming the ma

Everything.

Do you know how TO get

advantage what you want for
dress and housc-furnishing?
First, how: Write for a

you want. lfsamples can be
useful to you, ask for them
and state your wants SO
plainly that exactly the right
samples can be sent.
Second, where: The place
where goods are kept in the
greatest variety; where they
are sold for what they really
are in respect to quality;
where prices are lowest;
where most care is taken
to serve customers accept
ably; and where you have
the right to return whatever
IS not satisfactory.
1hcrC-no matter where
you arc-if you make your
wants known and avail your
self of your privileges, you
will get the best things in
the best way, promptly and
without trouble or risk;
sometimes by mail, some
times by express, almost
always at less cost for car

EVER since the war closed the Demo-
Gratis have been stalking the existence of
their party on issues that were short
lived. They opposed negro suffrage, re-
construction, civil rights, honest payment
of the debt, resumption laws-to mention
but a few of the issues from one to
another of which they have shifted as a
man would jump from cake to cake OF
floating ice. The assurance which claims
permanence for party which confesses
that it has but the negative principle OF
opposition, and asserts the temporary
character of the contending party because
it has only one positive principle, is some
thing worth remarking as novelty in
political philosophy.
