MR.. ENGLTSH'S RECORD.

The country began some time ago to suS-
pect that Mr.. William II. English was the
smallest person great party ever nominated
for ce-Presdent of the United States, and
every additional glimpse OF his career has
Only served to strengthen the impression. II
is not crime to be capitalist, and
capitalists are expected to protect their
interests as other men do But tn, difference
between a millionaire who is business-ke and
public spirited at the same time, and IA creature
like this man English, who subScr6es one
dollar for the Chicago sufferers and
squeezes hundreds of workingmen out OF
their homes under the pressure OF
mortgages. making large sum OF
money by the operation, is difference
which no one needs to be told. The rolls OF
American citizenship are crowded with the
names of rlch men wh0 while doing business
according to business methods, have used
their wealth to dItiusc Intelligence, TO Increase
the facilities iuT popular education, and, Iii
short, to add to the sum OF human happiness.
1t Will startlc no il we say that Nj
English has never given any symptoms of
being that kind of man.
But there are other aspects III which the
country has been compelled to contemplate
him, and always with the same verdict Some
curious and interesting information On these
points is given elsewhere by gentleman
VINO watched him CLOSE at hand during his
Washington career, which began as Il note
shaver and ended as CONGRESSMAN. Mr..
English presents just the combination
of qualities which rendered it IN
evitabe that he should become an
o1icicus tool of the Slave power, earning
the contempt alike of Republicans and
seli-respccting Democrats. Some new feats
of his negotiating record are laid
bare by our correspondent. There may
be Democrats who will hesitate to vote for Il
man as a candidate for the Vicc-PrcsGency
who joined III the attOmpt to mob The National
Era Office. The account given Of the
methods by which the foundations Of lis for
tune were LAID in shaved Treasury salaries
and worthless Texas stocks, to be made good
by lobbying in Congress, will surprise no one
who is familiar with the later portions OF Mr..
EngIish's career. He Is n unique person, and
il would be a relief TO the National pride not
to have HIM chosen TO the seat once filled by
Adams and Jefferson.

both from the Republican and from the
Democratic ranks, so that neither party can
hope for rs large majority over all rs IL nv"
in elections before this separate force hp
peared unless it makes extraordinary gains. IL
the strength of the two parties with reference
TO each other has remained unchanged SINCE
1876. the plurality this year will be Just WIFI
the majority was four years ago. But the ten
porary fusion In Maine makes it impossible 10
Judge whether the Democratic party mas
gained or lost strength within four years. un-
less the total fusion vote should be as small an
or smaller than the Democratic vote In 1870
The one thing that this election will reveal Is
whether the Republican party has gainea OF
lost since last year, when it carried Northern
States enough to insure its success. VI IL mas
gained since 1879 in Maine, and proves
stronger with General Garfield against Ten
eral Hancock than 1t was one year ago, no
sensible Democrat will expect a victory IN
New York or Connecticut, for IN both STATES

plurality over the united Democratic vote.
1t is generally supposed that Maine VIII

similar change since the latest elections IN H.
diana and New-Jcrsey would overcome the
Democratic plurality of 14,113 in Indiana III
1878 and give the Republicans plurailty OF
over 13, 800, aud would swell the Republican
plurality of 1886 at the Congressional
elections of 1873 Ill New Jersey to a plurality
of nearly $4,000, and probably give a small
majority over all in that State also With
these facts in mind, both parties can cor
rectly appreciate the meaning OF any result
which the dispatches from Maine may make
known.

WHIT U1JyE WILL DO TO-D1Y.

To break the force of an expected defeat
in Maine is the principal duty of the over
worked Democratic editor at present. While
pretending to hope for victory, he bends him
self to the task of persuading people than any
thing less than 10000 Republican majority
in Maine will mean Republican defeat. The
trick deserves a little attention, because the
peculiar circumstances in Maine render the
usual comparison probably an entirely unlD-
structive one.
In nearly every case, the proper and most
instructive comparison, for votes in the fall
preceding a Presidential election. is with
corresponding votes four years earlier. The
principal reason is that a full vote Is hardly
ever called out, in States which vote in Sep
TENDER or October, except at the State cleo
tons of Presidential years. In Maine, how
ever, it happens that the largest vote ever
cast was polled last year, and that the pOlit-
ical divisions have entirely changed since
1876. Four years ago, there was virtually no
Greenback party i'll Maine. Last year, there
was no Democratic party to speak OF. This
year, partial fusion has been effected be-
tween the empty and raveDOus Democratic
organization and the gullible Greenback
voters. 1t is fusion which the Green
back leaders consider diSgraceful and
ruinous, and which they declare they
will break up after the State election. No
sucb fusion exists in other States. The result
of it in Maine, therefore, In comparison with
votes when there was no Greenback party,
casts no light upon the probable outcome in
November in States where three electoral
tickets will be run. If the Greenback vote is
drawn in other States, as it is in Maine, much
more largely from the Democratic than from
the Republican ranks the greater its strength
the more certain Will be Democratic defeat
In September, 1876, 136,79G votes were
cast in Maine, of which 1862 were Republic
can. Last year, 1885, 35 votes were cast, of
which 6S, 766 were Republican. Attrlbuting
the increase of vote equally to the two par
ties. we find that nearly 5000 Republicans
of 1876 and nearly 10000 Democrats OF
1875 voted the Greenback ticket last year.
A similar division in any other doubtful State,
in which Greenback electoral tickets have
been put up, would make the success of the
Republicans certain, for plurality elects the
electors But if, in addition, the Republicans
largely increase their vote as compared with
last year. when the aggregate vote in the
State was larger than ever before, il will give
the strongest possible reason for believing
that they can carry New-York and Connect
cut, not as they did at the latest elections, by
u plurality, but 10y a majority over all oppo-
nents.
comparison with the vote of 1876 in
Maine, as TO majorities, would only tend to
deceive because of the existence of the Green
back party as a separate force. In Ncw-YOIk,
| Connecticut, New-Jersey and Indiana that
party will run separate tickets. In each Of
those States, as In Maine, it has drawn voters

nNE EVE DBEN


A representative of The Herald has had an
interview with Mr.. William II. English, the
Democratic candidate for Nice-PreSident, III
which il was attempted to draw out some sort
of a statement or explanation from the Great
American FOrecloser concerning the list OF
his acquisitions by foreclosure recently pub
IisAed. But the FOrecloser could not be in
duced to talk about it. On that subject his
motto seemed to be " Deeds principally
"mortgage), not words" He did say, how
over. that he "never foreclosed mortgage so
"long as the taxes are paid and the interest
"also." He also exhibited to The Herald rep
resentative massive gold medal presented
to him by the stockholders and directors of
the National Bank of which he was president
as a testimonial of "their high appreciation
"of his very great financial ability, constant
watchfulness and perfect fidelity" That"
he said "tells the story OF my life better
Z" than a thousand denials." And az he said 1t,
the correspondent toGchingly observes, /" he
"ouietly wiped the moisture from one eye"
If we might be permitted to say so, his quietly
wlping the moisture from one eye, while he
kept the other open, tells the story of his life
n great deal better even than the massive
medal.
There were resolutions Of a complimentary
character ACCOMPANYING the medal which Mr..
English handed over for perusal, and which
The Herald representative had the presence of
mind to make Il copy OF and forward for pub
LEGATION. The correspondent adds thereto, with
charming righteousness, 1T seemed per-
"fectly natural that Mr.. English should pre-
serve these tokens of esteem and regard with
"care. and should refer to thom with pleasure,
and 1t seemed strange that with these
Unmarked factors in his hands he should so
persistently decline to utilize them. He feels
"no alarm in respect of the canvass" 1t does
seem strange that he should decline to utilize
the medal when it Is worth its weight in gold,
and he is losing the interest on it every day
he keeps it. 1t must be because he feels 10
alarm in respect of the canvass" When he
begins to feel anxious he will undoubtedly
spout it. Meantime, we cannot too much adj
mire what his bank directors call tho con

II was Mr.. August Belmont who, in addressing
Democratic meeting the other night, said, first, that
he had been forty-three years in this country and
never voted anything but the Democratic ticket
and second, that tho reason why Garfield was not q
lit man for President was because he always fol-
lowed the dictates of party in preference TO the
welfare of the people" What sort of incoher-
ency is this This man go.s up in public and pats
himself on the back for having been partisan for
forty-threo years and in the breath denounces
"A candidate for unftness because he " follows the
dictates Of party" What means thisS Is the game

II is remarked by The World rs " IA curious Illus
ration of the real the present canvass that
an orator cannot possibly make really American
and national speech without avowing himself
Democrat and supporter of General HANCOCK
Aud it gees on to say that an impartial recapitu-
ntlon of the events of the War of Independence
could not be- made by Republican orator that
" there are many of the great men OF the country
whom Republican speaker cannot praise WIFI
out ceasnQ to be q Republican speaker T;
and that there are many Of the great events OF our
history which Republican speaker cannot com
memorate without oeasing to be a Republican
speaker" Each Of these statements seems 10
be n specific bid for the jack knife. Not one OF them
has the Temotes Xix eness to the trnh There isn't,
of course an event in history that Republican
speaker cannot recapituate commemorate or a
great man he cannot praise. without the slight
est shock to his standing in his party. lie might
praise that foremost Democrat, jefferson Davis,
or commemorate that great Democratic victory,
the first Bull Run, with absolute impunity. What
Tie WorId would like 10 say we presume, is that no
really American and National speech contains
any reference to the attempt of the majority of the
Democratic party to break up the UniOn and
the suppression of their rebellion. and that
every really American and National speech
avoids all ausion to the subject, by which token
the speaker declares himself :" Democrat and
supporter of Hancock" And there is some truth in
that view OF II.
