Garfield AT Home

The Cincinnati Enquirer has submitted
.Garteld's tremendous popularity" in his own
district to the test of figures, and the result Is
somewhat interesting. In 1872 he was elect
ed to congress by vote of ~, 1S9 against s, 24j
given the Democratic candidate--a majority
of 1894 In 1873 occurred the little unplea
santness Of the Credit MobiIer, and in 1874 II
made itself felt by reducing Garfields vote
6,49S. At the same time in the counties compos
ing the district the Republican candidatefor sec
rotary of state received 10 202 against ,3l3 for
the Democratic nominee The party vote in
creased but Garficld's diminished nearly Z.
00O-a woful falling of, indeed. In 1876 the
presidential contest helped him somewhat
but he STILL IN his district, ran 2,543 votes he
hind Hayes. In 1873 his vote dropped to II,
1876, while the opposition poled 10101; maj
orty of 6,465 against 1924 in 1872.
1t would seem, then, that the muchbOasted
strength of the Republican presidential can
didate "at home" has been steadily diminish
ing, being less by 4,419 votes in 1878 than il
was IN 1873. \ heavy decline, certainly, and
mainly, If not entirely, due to the scandals

Said gentleman to me yesterday, whose
name is distinguished in the annals of his

surd for so-called independents to insist that
the coming election will be merely contest
between candidates and parties, and that there
are no great issues before the people. Issues
were never more nomentous or more sharply
defined. First and foremost among them Is
the overtowering issue raised by the Electoral
Commission. In 1t is involved Dothing less
than the right of the people TO choose through
constitutional methods their highest executive
officer. 1t really involves their right to vote
Tor the ballot will become an empty mockery
if the great crime by which Mr.. Hayes was IN
stalled shall 90 unrebuked, and Freedom will
have greater cause to shrek than at the death
of ten thousand KosciuskOs, If one of the Wis
ting statesmen and one of the electoral eight
shall be elected to the high place now desc
Grated by an executive placed there by fraud
Political philosophers are right in speaking
of Republican Government rs an experiment
True, it had subsisted in the United States un
til the election of Mr.. TIlden. 1t has appeared
fitfully and intermIttently IN France. Favored
by peculiar geographical environment it has
held its own IN the Businesses Of the Swiss Alps
There are certain indications in modern times
that point to RepubIcanism as the govern.

trend of the worlds history, Republican gov.

fatally stunned for four years in the United

lamiiy, that they are trying 10 reward one ofthe

plotting of popular government, that makes
patriots seriously solicitOus for the fate Of Re
publican institutions in the United States.
