THE defeat of the third-te conspiracy is
rejoice. That President who tor eight
years treated his great Office as perquisjte
and not as trust, who never failed to re-
ward those who contributed great sums to
the Government, who stimulated the Offering
of gifts to himself by rawarding the givers
successively with five Cabinet Offices the
Collectorship OF the Port of New York, the
Offices of honor and profit who brought
around him and kept in his confidence the
Whisky Ring thieves and jobbers of all sorts,
and visited with his resentment the homes
who carried the abuse of nepotism to its
highest pitch, and fosted his most distant
relatives upon the public Treasury, no mat
ter how incapable or unfit, who recklessly
disregarded the laws, the Constitution, and
the rights of the States, who packed the
Supreme Court with partisans, who overthrew
lawful State governments and by his soldiery
set up fraudulent Governors and Legislatures
in their stead-that an ex-President with
such record should have been only mar,
rowly defeated for an honor not bestowed
upon Washington, Jefferson, or Jackson
must remain wonder through future gen
erations, and should be regarded as a warn
ing of the degradation of our politics, and
particularly as the best possible evidence o
the low moral level and utter untrustwOrthi
ness of the Republican party.
The Sunday herald. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1866-1887, 1880-06-13

Various opinions are held as to whether
General Garfield is strong or a weak candi-
date. Upon the one hand il is seen that his
record is open TO sharp criticism, and his
friends will he kept busy defending his con
nection with the Credit Mobilicr and his De
Golycr fee. Besides this Garfield was Chair
man OF the Committee ON Appropriations
when the salary grab was passed and must
encounter the odium OF having been the
actual father of that measure. II is true that
criticism upon this point will be answered
by pointing to the fact that the chief back
pay grabber on the other side has been
indotsed by his elevation to the Speaker
ship, but this undeniable charge will doubt
less stick " and will be used effectively in
the Democratic canvass.
But while not invulnerable General Gar
field is in some other respects the strongest
candidate his party could have chosen. lie
was gallant soldier against the great rebel
lion, and thus embodies in his person the
issue which will form the chief reliance OF
his party in the coming campaign. He is a
man of undeniable culture and intellectual
strength, and will be acceptable to the
| George William Curtis and New York Nation
class of reform Republicans, not an inconsid
cradle element, when the close margin by
which the strength of parties is divided is con
sidered, and one which it is all the more i'm
| portantf for the party leaders to concilate sine,
| IL pnrsistnntiv fnonbnp h. IL. .t,ip l,at ,
the duty of good citizens to bolt bad nomi
nations. Garfield has been a trustworth,
party man, but has at times shown himsel
able TO rise above party, rs he did in hi
course ON the Federal election laws, an,
upon other occasions when he has deliber
rately preferred the role of statesman to tha
Of the partisan. This he has done not ono
only but repeatedly, evincing habit q
needing his own conscience aud trusting TIA
sober second thought of his countrymen I
vimdicate him from the hasty abuse of un
thinking partisanship. Upon the whole MI
Garfield is fully up to the average moralit
of his party, and we have no doubt he wi
be able to poll its full vote. The Demoerac
will be wise not to lose their heads with e>
ultation at the vnlnerablity of their antag,
mist, lest they be disagreeably surprise
after it is too late, at the size of his vot,
The country may congratulate itself upo
the certainty that, if elected, General Ga
fields administration would be conducted o
an infinitely higher moral and intellectu;
| plane than those of his Immediate predece
| sors.

THE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK
\ Survey OF the Candidates for the
Cincinnati Nomination.

The Democratic party is blessed or cursed
with multiplicity of candidates for the
Presidency. And IL the vaunting and brag
ging of the self-consttuted organs are to be
relied ON, the leader of any ring clique in
the party, who can by skillful management
secure to himself the nomination, can DE
elected President. " Listening with ere
"dulity to the whispers of fancy, and pDr-
- suing with eagerness the phantoms OF
hope, =" often lead TO adventures most futile
and absurd. How easily is the memory OF
man beguiled For twenty long years last
past has the Democratic party been regularly
and persistently led to defeat by the false
hopes and the vainglorious pretensions
of short-sghted and selfish leaders. Even
at the last falls election the party was liter
ally wiped out of existence, and that, too
upon the chosen and elaborately selected
issues of these short-sighted, narrow-minded
political leaders. And now, learning moth,
| ing by experience, and wholly oblivious o.
the past, these purblind politicians seen
bent upon a repetition OF their futile strug-
gles Of the past.
Samuel j. Tilden is the most prominent
of the candidates. Under other circum-
stances his nomination would be dictated by
sense Of justice and high considerations OF
The Sunday herald. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1866-1887, 1880-06-13
SPEAKER RJNDlLL'.S POLICY,

The United States Courts all over the
country are at a stand-still owing to the lack
OF money to pay jurors and for other expenses
As the season is so far advanced toward the
time for the usual midsummer vacation not
| only the prosecution of criminals but the
vast mass of civil litigation which crowds the
dockets of these courts must be postponed
| for several months involving greatly in
creased expense to the Government and still
| greater expense and inconvenience to liti-
| giants. The fact that the course of justice
| has been thus obstructed through the failure
| OF a Democratic Congress to perform its duty
| OF making the necessary appropriations will
| be made Use of from thousand rostrums and
through ten thousand newspapers during
this summer to convince the people that ;
| party capable of such pig-headed folly is moi

gas jet, or start fire, and now the Who'll
judicial arm of the nation is compelled t

places on the committees to men wea1

the working majority of his party in tn
House and diminishing its chances of success
in the contest for the Presidency.
