THE ELECTION OF a republican 10
the presidency is a declaration on the
part of the people OF the United States
that they want no change in the
manner Of administering snd con-
Quoting the afsirs Of the nation, and
toe choosing OF General Garfield is an
announcement that a continuation of
the rule and order Of the past four
years ia desirable. The political
principles Of Hayes and Garfield are
alike in every particular, and per-
aonslly the Two msn differ but little.
There is practically only this differ
ence-Garfeld is a greater, a stronger
man than Hayes. He is a Sabbath
school sor. of man, but his Chris
tianiiy Is more muscular than that of
his Buckeye brother. He has more
brains than Hayes, but the quality is
the same. His id cas- are larger than
those OF Hayes, but they are Of the
same order or class. Garfield is
Hayes slightly magnifed. II Hayes
administration has been marked By
its evenness, fairness and conciliatory
spirit, Gsrfeld's will also be distin-
guished by those things. No one
need expect from the new president
any extraordinary display of s,alwar.-
lam. II Is not in the man, and he is
of that olass OF persons whose DatuTes
are not changed by office. Il ia true
that during the latter part OF the
recent campaign, Grant, C1uk-
ling, Logan, and other stall
warts heartily espoused the cause
of Garfield and perhaps did
more 10 elect him than the milder
following Of the gentleman WHO were
with him from the frat; but re do |
not spprehend that THE fact wi iu-
fuence Garfield, or have great weight
in directing his course IS president.
Hayes. who is weaker man than the
next president, and more Liable to be
played upon, could not be used by the
Conklings and OAmerous of tns
party. Indeed, he took pains to repel
their advances and reject their advise
which was inconsistent With mis- own
IDEAS of government. He owed them
more than Garfield owes, for they not
only fought the eight during the cam
paigu, but afterwards perpetratsd the
theft which made him president. We
believe that Garfield will deal as little
with radical republicAnism IS re2rs-
ienied by she Grant engineers in the
Chicago convention, as Hayes has
lone. 1t is not improbable that Grant
will be given q place in the cabinet,
,ut if SO he will have to manage
lis bureau to suit Garfield, just as
ir. Hayes ministers are decidedly !
lbservient to him and in harmony
With his ideas. Under Garfield the il

as been Under Hayes, snd the rights n
