Well knowing that Hastead would

As to the Bee, it is assured that the
State Journal has not opened a Republi.

campaign, against he silver dollar. We
are in favor of the silver dollar, and
plenty of them; but we want a silver dol

.sFOR RRvENUR ONLY. .

The Graphic was strong supporter of
Gen. Garfield, pictorially and otherwise,
but it serves notice on the Protectionists
they are not to have their own way on
the tariff question. Says the Graphic!
IL was these consecutive good harvests
mainly which brought resumption and
made good times-not he Republican
party or protective tariff; aud thou
sands Of citiz ms who voted for Garfield
and Arthur know it. Thousands of con.
su ners throughout the United States
leel that war tariff is being imposed in
peace times; and, while not desiring a
free trade, they do feel that the tariff
ought to be lowered and simplfied, AT
present it gives few manufacturers ex-
Orbitant profits and makes the general
public pay for it. 1t is all very we'll to
talk about high wages for American ar
tisans. but nothing is said about the high
cost of living a high tariff necessitates,
and decent regard for The interests of
the agricultural and general consuming
classes would seem to dictate low ring
of he tar fl, as we'll as simplifying it's
p 'esent intricate and onerous provisions.
This is the tuna the Republican free
trade" papers are taking up; and loud
demand has already arisen in the west
for the breaking down of the Bessemer
steel rail monopoly, which increases the
cost of railway construction and Prain
transportation, to add millions to the
wealth of monopoly already wealthy
enough to make lavish contributions to
corrupt the ballot box. The New York
EUening Post declares for tariff "for rev.
enue only" and seems we'll satisfied that
Mr.. Garfield will be in accord with the
revenue reformers Of the Republican
party. The Post says:
There is no doubt of the drift of opin-
ion on the subject of taxation. There is
an increasing number of revenue refor.
mers in the Republican party, even in
the East, while in the great agricultural
regions of the West there is demand,
irrespective of party, for reconstruction
of the existing absurd, Cumbrous and
unjust tariff Gen. Garfield, during the
late canvass, made many short and felic-
itous speeches in which he emphasized
the growth and greatness of the United
States. We have no doubt he believes
the country has grown great enough to
throw away the Crutches of system ad-
apted, by the admission of its creators,
to its early youth.
The Minnesota Republicans demand
lower duties "on all articles entering
into family, agricultural or industrial
consumption" Iowa Republicans are
on The same platform.

The New York World has a sensa
tional double loaded editorial, asserting
"on high authority" that before the
election was held, and while all the i'm.
portant members of the Cabinet were
absent from Washington, the records oil
the various departments of the executive
government were overhauled by unoffi.
Cial persons who appeared in the several
departments bearing the authority of
the chief Of those departments respect
lively. The World says the archives of
the Government cover four Republican
administrations, as well as that of Mr..
Hayes, and that the accounts of the ma
ton have never been examined by ex.
perts or officials not affiliated with the
party in power since 1850. The World
argues that the purpose of the alleged
overh 5ulirg Of records was to suppress
any that would be damaging in case the
Democrats came into power, 1t calls for
a Congressional investigation. If Han
cock had been elected there would have
been accidental fires" in the depart.

CHAs. s. FISHER, of Cincinnati, Repub
lican United States Supervisor for pre-.
CinCt A in the first ward Of that city at
the October election, has been ar.
rested, charged with doing unlawful acts
connected with the count. 1t seems the
tickets were poured out of the box upon
the table, and Fisher, during the count,
dropped fourteen tickets on the table

seems he procured stamp bimself, that
he might mark the tickets on the out.

JUDGE Noah Davis in New York city,
on Saturday held Philip, the editor Of
Truth, to answer the charge of criminal
libel, for declaring Garfield liar when
he denied the authorship Of the Morey
letter. The Poland Committee proved
Garfield perjurer, and Chicago Re
publican court has denounced his act
of DeGolyer bribery as sale of eff ciaI
Influence. The New York Tribune, Times
Independent, Harper'S Weekly, and Other
leadiLg Republican papers have indors'
ed these charges, and used language
quite as strong against Garfield as Truth
did.
The lying and baseness Of Judge Davis
is remarkable. The falsity Of the Nor
ey letter has not been established. Gar
fields denial goes for nothing, and the
witnesses, s. s. Morey and O'Brien
Lindsay, are just as likely to have told
the truth in their first statement as in
the last

factory, asserts, and is willing to make

UNITED STATES Judge, Noah Davis, act
ing as an er ofciO Justice of the Peace,
holds that there is statutory, probable
cause, for allowing the Grand Jury to
consider the Philip case. L. seems this
Judge had his opinion published in the
N. Y. Evening Post before he delivered
1t in open court
Ifthe Grand Jury find bill against
Philip, and the case is not nolied, it may
in time come up for trial. and then Gen
Garfield will probably be a witness, fol
the indictment will be based on libel
against him. 1t may be, then, Gen. Gar
fields reputation for truth and veracity
will come up. The Poland committee'e
report, and the DeGolyer matter may be
referred to.
It is suggested that Judge Davis, in
his bitter partisanship, while deciding
this libel case, is guilty of lbelling Con-
gresham Hewitt.

engaged in getting up Congressional con-

them. Their majority, however, in the
next House is very uncertain quantity,

success in other pursuits to him, as it

Thousands Of years ago he gave his at.

TIE late Presidential election has been
the closest election ever known in this
country. Each party carried the same
number Of states. The Senate is about
