THE REPUBLICAN IDEA


Hon. Marshall Jewell, chairman of
the Republican National Committee, re-
Gently favored the party leaders at
Washington with his views of the pres
ent political contest, and dwelt with con-
siderable length upon the chances of the
ultimate result In concluding his Oh
servations he expressed himself rs fol-
lows in relation to the matter of conduct
ing the canvass;
"The general plan Of the campaign rs
il is 10 be conducted by the Republican
party will he fought upon the general
record and conditions Of the Republican
party 1t will be bold, vigilant, and
aggressive, and conducted upon that
high plane which BELTS both the spot
less character of its candidate and the
incstimablc value of its services to hui
manity aud the country. If there be any
mud singing il must come from the
other side This is in accordance with
General Garficld's wish, and consistent
with the character of the party. As we
have been the conscrVatOr of the morals,
il is equally necessary That We should
preserve the good manners of the coun-
try. The case is Just, the resources of
the party great, and the prospects of
success too bright To admit doubt of its
triumph in November We will not
tarnish the brilliancy OF our success,
nor lower the high tone of our party
record by descending TO the weapons
whose use better BELTS weakness and de-
feat. The campaign on our side, then,
will be conducted in manner both 10
eXtort the fear and respect of the enemy.
Earnest efforts will be made in West
| Virginia, North and South Carolina,
and Florida to obtain as fair an election
vote as possible. If we can only approx
mate fairness in the casting or counting
of ballots in these states, their electoral
for Garfield is beyond doubt. II
seems TO me that little effort on the
part of the committee could gain enough
members TO congress- 10 make the next
house Republican. The committee will
leave Connecticut, New Jersey and In
diana To the care of the local authorities
in those states, because the Legislature il
each to be elected this fall will choose
United States senator, and IA full vote j
always polled under such circumstances
The polling of full vote in these state
is always synonym for Republican sue
cess. The committee will pay especia
attention to New York and Virginia.

no evading this plain duty. a people
who revere the name of God and sub

Master, cannot claim the favor of the

IS GARFIELD A wELsHMAN?

In the Leader of the day before yes
terday appeared an item giving the petit
gree of Gen. Garfield, the Republican
candidate for the presidency from n
German standpoint, and claiming that
his ancestors were Germans. A gentle
man of this city, the Rev. II. E. Thomas,
pastor of the Welsh Congregational
church on Ross street. says that the
item referred to above Is incorrect, and
claims the distinguished gentleman as a
product of the Welsh race. The Rev.
Thomas says he has never met Garfield,
although while on visit to Washing
ton City, three years ago. he called at
the generals house. But his belief that
Garfield is a Welshman is based on what
he has heard from persons who are in
timately acquainted with him, and have
frequently heard him speak of his
Welsh descent. In Glanmorganshire,
South Wales, is town called CacrphilI,
or in English Garfield, which was once
the seat of family of the same name.
While Mr.. Thomas was in London,
about year ago, he had a conversation
with DR.. Nicholas, the distinguished
historian of the Welsh people, in which
the latter mentioned Gen. Garfield as q
distinguished American of Welsh ex-
misunderstanding Leader.

to vote on these bogus papers received
their instructions. So vast "A scheme
could never have been carried out except
by an organized central authority. But
that there might be no doubt about the
real responsibility for the crime, United
States Marshal Murray in 1868 sent a
number of fictitious names 10 the Demo
cratic National committee, and in a few
hours obtained certificates of naturaliZa-
ton for all at 81 apiece.
When Mr.. Davenport was appointed
chief supervisor of elections, his first
step was to put stop 70 this outrage
upon the legal voters of the city, and in
response TO his published statement that
he would meet all holders of naturaliZa-
ton papers of 1868 at his Office and ex-
change valid for spurious ones, if the
possessors were entitled TO them, he re-
ceiyed several thousand bogus papers
and the afiidavits of the holders
as 10 how they had obtained
them. He ascertained beyond
doubt that from 10000 to 10000
aliens were lawlessly thrust into the
body of voters at that time, and that
they had been voting ever since on the
bogus papers of McCunn and Barnard,
until his successful detective work
stopped good many of them.
And it Is for this service TO his state
and his country that Senator Wallace,
the right bower of General Hancock, is
endeavoring to suppress Mr.. Davenport.
His effective efforts to purify the ballot
of New York was one of the main causes
of the extra session, in which it was pro-
posed, in solemn caucus, to lock the
wheels of government if Davenport was
not removed. II was to get rid of him
more than for any other purpose, that
the Democracy made the fight on the
marshals' bill, and thus blocked the OPP
Grafton of some OF the most vital depart
mcnts of the government.
| In view of the cheerful alacrity which
the Democracy has manifested in the di
rcction of looking after the affairs %
their neighbors, it is somewhat pathetic
to reflect that the time which eoulC
be so delightfully."- spent in that way il
always mOnopolized by some disagreed
bly, imperative matter at home.
