THE Republican party goes into the
campaign heavily weighted with the in
fanny of the odiouS electoral commission.
Hoar, who presided over the conven.
tion, was one of the eight, and Garfield
the candidate was another.

GARFIELD was soldier, but like
many others concluded very early in his
military experience that the post of duty
was the political station, and quit the
field before the war was half over to take
a softer seat in Congress.

CHESTER A. ARTHUR.
The Candidate for the Vice Presidency

The Candidate for the Vice Presidency.
General Chester A. Arthur is the son of
Presbyterian clergyman and was born in
Albany county, New York, about fifty
years ago. He graduated at Union college
and entered upon manhood as lawyer in
New York city. He gained almost imme-
date prominence and a reputation among
AbOlltionists through the famous Lemon
case in 1852, upon which the question
whether slave remained in bondage when
on free soil was finally disposed of.
Lemon, Virginia Shareholder, brought
eight slaves to New York and colored New
Yorker brought the question of their liber-
ty into the courts. E. D. Culver, with
whom young Arthur was associated, ap-
peared for the slaves and Henry L. Clinton
and others against them. The supreme
court declared them Free. The decision
provoked national excitement. The gov
ernor of Georgia declared it just cause for
war. The Virgi ginia Legislature resolved to
appeal the case. The general term upheld
the first decision. Chester A. Arthur and
w. NJ. Evarts argued for the slaves before
the court of appeals and won a final vic
tory. General Arthur became an ac-
tive politician. He was a delegate
to the first Republican conven-
tion in the state of New York. When
the war broke out he became engineer-in-
chief on Governor Morgan's staff and soon
after was quartermaster general of the
state of New York. He was conspicuous
in the convention of 1864 in preventing
the nomination of Dickinson and securing
the nomination of Andrew johnson. He
was appointed collector of the port of New
York by President Grant in 1871 to sue
ceed Thomas Murphy, and was removed by
Hayes soon after the latter's accession to
office for the abuses in his administration of
the Office. He: has always been a prominent
worker in the custom house or Conkling
wing of the Republican party in New, York
and is now chairman of the Republican
state committee.

The worm-eaten plank on civil service
reform in the Republican platform
might as we'll have been left out, in view
of Arthur's nomination. He is a civil
service deformity.

many people into fright which nearly
killed them before they had the disease.

died suddenly yesterday morning at his

Cameron Will not Lead.
Mcclure 8 Midnight Dispatch.
The new Republican national committee
met last night for organization. Cameron
peremptOrily declined the craftsmanship,
although personally appealed to by General
Garfield to accept the unanimous election
that would have been rendered him. After
considerable discussion the committee de-
cided not to fill the place at this time, but
to meet in New York after the Demo-
cratic convention and supply the vacancy.
While Cameron is positively averse
to accepting the responsibility of managg-
ing the campaign since the defeat of
Grant, it is generally believed that he will
be induced to reconsider his decision, if
after the Democrats have made their
ticket he regards Republican success as
reasonably certain. If the contest as
sumes doubtful aspect because of strong
Democratic nominations he will persist in
his dellinatioR. Cameron is convinced that
he did too much for too little in crOwding
Hayes into the presidency after he had
been defeated, and while he would be will
ing to repeat the experiment for Grant, he
does not incline to do it for an average
Ohio statesman. r.
The feeling tonight is one of very
grave doubt as to the wisdom of Garfield s
nomination and serious apprehensions in
regard to his availability. 1t is quite GER
tain that if the same convention had to
mako the nomination over again tO-mOr-
row with the light it's members now have
on the subject they would not entertain
the question of making him the candidate.
The most Of the Grant men, and especial
ly those from Pennsylvania, sincerely re-
gret the defeat of Blaine, and if they now
had the selection of candidate
they would take care that if Grant
could not win Blaine should not
fall with him. Neither the Grant nor
Blaine leaders had any part in making
Garfield the dark horse, aud they agree in
regarding his nomination as one that is
not at all certain to carry Ohio in October.
They say that Garfield will be assaiIed as
bitterly as Blaine would have been and
quite as plausibly, and that Garfield will
not have half the intellectual or popu-
lar power of Blaine to disarm and defy
his foes. There are none Of the outbursts
of enthusiasm now which were witnessed
here 1860. when Lincoln was nominated,
and in 1868, when Grant was selected, and
the calculating leaders seem content to
wait patiently for Cincinnati before they
decide whether they will be active or in
different in the campaign.

CA issue by either of the parties, and that he
did not know as il would come up during his
term OF Office, bat if 1t Gid he desired to be left
free to act his own best judgment. Some tenn
perance Republicans, we understand, propose
TO vote against him because no will not pledge
himself to prohibition, and the anti-probibition
Republicans propose to vote against him be-
cause he refuses to pledge himself in their be-
half.
Now, we want to ask all honest voters il the
position OF MIR. Jerome is not the most honor
able and manly, when he says, Sufficient unto
tie day is the evil thereof" lie is known to
the people throughout the State os high
minded, reputable, temperate, honorable gen
tleman, and his position on this very question
shows him to be above the arts and tricks Of
the demagogue.
Mr. Holloway has everything to gain and
nothing to lose, for he is the candidate of the
party that is hopelessly in the minority in this
State. Mr.. Woodman, too, when he seeks TO
lead the public mind 10 the conclusion that he
will favor the cause OF temperance by legisla-
ton, because LIE is temperance man, has also
nothing to lose and everything to gain, for he,
too, belosgs to a party from whose fold its
members are flying like rats from a sinking
ship, and he has all he can do to fan the dying
embers Of once fervent heat into the glow OF
a star that struggles hard TO shine after the sun
has risen in the heavens. The Democratic and
Greenback candidates have each played the role
of demagogues in this matter. The truth is,
the Governor has but very little to do with leg
slation. 1t IS his duty to execute the laws, and
it IS not his duty to make them. True, he can
veto law for sufficient reasons, but, acting un
der his oath OF Office, his reasons must be good
ones to justify even veto; and when it comes
to amending the Constitution by prohibiting
the sale OF liquor in the State, the Governor
has nothing whatever to 90 With submitting the
amendment to the people. The legislature
formulates the amendments aud submits them
to the people without the approval OF the Gov
ernor.
The opposition are resorting to all manner of
false Issues to divide our vote in both State and

paign let no true man be led off ca side issues,
but rather let every voter be true 20 Republ
canism, for then he is true to his country and

Gov. Jerome, when elected, will be true to the

1t is extremely amusing to see how ener-
getically the Democratic press throughout the
country are crying Fraud" and Republican
corruption at the ballot box in connection
with the late Republican victories in Ohio and
Indiana. II it was necessary to adduce proofs
as to the fairness of the election in either
State, we apprehend the Republican party
wouldn't have to labor nearly as hard as the
Democracy If they should be called upon for
the same explanation respecting that ninety
odd thousand majority in Alabama bat it Ism t
called for, as the whine appeals 80 thoroughly
to ones sense of the ludlcrous as the disgust
and disappointment of the great unwas shed y
are so palpable, unless for a moment we name
one consideration that Is conclusive against
such angry and foolish charges. tits Of course
an admitted fact that the safeguards against
fraud and cheating have been in Indiana the
weakest o. any in any State. Let us see which
party IN that State has been NEST wiling to
change this situation tor better one. The
first effort made to effect reform was by leg
islation. 1t was opposed bitterly by the entire
Democratic party aud press in the State, and
finally prevented by them. Then the Repub-
licans undertook to accomplish it by the tedi-
Gus work OF amending the Constitution. In
1873 an amendment to the constitution requir-
ing residence in the State full year and in the
county three months was proposed in the leg
ioI II h,4 ,i;o,,,
without an exception, and opposed by sixteen
Democrats. 1t however passed that legisla-
ture but was indefinitely postponed in the next
by the following VOTE Ayes: Republican, l
Democratic, 80; Nayes: Republican, % Dem
ocratic g.
Four years afterwards another amendment
substantially the same was proposed and
adopted, the only opponents being Demo-
Gratis, and was submitted to the people. Ali
the Democratic papers ia the State opposed 1T
and their leading men also were open and out
spoken in their desire that It should fail. 1t
was unanimously and warmly supported by the
Republican party and, together with another
amendment changing the time OF toe election,
carried Then it was supposed that the ques-
ton was settled and the much needed reform
secured. But mark the sequel. Attest case was
made and brought before the Supreme Court
composed of full bench Of Democratic judges
and three OF the five held that the amend
ments were illegally adopted, and annulled
them. Thus the Democratic party has ever
shown itself in Indiana to be the enemy OF
honest elections, asa in every other State, and
nothing will so effectually throw them into
spasms as any legislation or endeavor looking
to such result. Democracy aourisbes best
where there is the least intelligence and free
discussion, the most ignorance, superstition,
and rum, and the best and most Democrats
with contented minds are seen in those LOCALE
ties whore there is the most fraud. dishonesty
and rascahty in its different forms practiced at
the polls.
