THE GLOBE DEMOCRAT.

IL its prospectus for 1sSl the GLoBE-DEAoCRAT
announced with pride and satisfaction the cleo
ton OfGen. Garfield and the belief that his adj
ministration would be so wisely counseied and SO
well conducted that it would give a new lease of
power to the party under which the nation had
grown free, strong and prosperous. The vile
good and gifted man who, while We wrote Il Year
ago, stood on the Threshold of the Presidential
office, in the prime and vigor of manhood, with
| Il future full ofhonoraDle promise to himself and
his country The high trust which the people
had rcposei in him WAS dropped by the palsied
hand ofieath when but a small part of the great
work upon which he had entered had been nc
coinplIshe1. But to quote his own memorable
words when the sa'liest of all American TRACE
dies was enacted, nearly seventeen years ago,
'Godr eisns, and the Government III Washing

field by the people falls upon chester i. Arthur
under the Constitution ofthc United states. and
there is every reason to believe that lie VIII
worthily wear it. He was almost the unanimous
choice OF the Chicago Convention for ' ice Presi-
dent, and his name and efforts contributed per
hap- more han anything else IL the success of
the Republican ticket III the State of New York.
He is IA man of broad views, fully informed on
all public questions, and he enters upon the
duties of his office determined to discharge them
honestly and consCientlously. The GLoBE-DEa-
oCRAT pledges him !ts cordial support in every
good word and work for the country and for the
Republican party. We hope and believe that I'M
der his prudent and skiliml leadership the evil
spirit OF faction will disappear from the ranks of
the party, and that unity and harmony Will pre-
vail IN all it, counsels. This end once secured
there can he no doHbt of future success. A large
majority of tho people OF this country are ltepub-
lIcans III sentiment and y mpathy, and nothing
but internal disrerd can 1Iuperll our triumph at
the polls while the choice Is between Republicans
and Democracy.
The LoRE-DEMocRAr has no new declara-
tion of principles to announce. IL can fairly ask
Judgment as 10 the future from the record of the
past. 1t stands firmly by the platform of the
party on all national que-tions; believes in the
equal rights of all men IN law and politics.; a
soltlld currency with an honest silver dollar for
part OF it; It Wctl-rrguiatei tariff, giving protec-
ton without rncouragtnG monopoly, and q
system of popular education So literal that ignor-
aiicr and lilterIcy shall ir incNcusable. These
are ii" nam Questions upon "niItl The tW" great
parties are NOW .~llvIictt the Democrats oppose
AMI the Republicans affirm as to each Of the prop
USitlonS We have named.
While fully approaching the magnitude OF
national issues. the GLoEE-DEMoCKAr will not
be unnindfnl Of the Importance of questions
which affect the West, and especially the state III
Missouri. Among these is Immigration. We
shall 10 all We possibly can to encourage Euro
peans seekiuga home on this side of The Atlantic
TO investigate the claims of this great state its
fine climate, It's fertile soil. aud its great mineral
resources Every thing is gsni here except l'olIt-
zeal domination. bourbon Democracy l. the toe
OF Immigration in Missouri, "a 1t always has
been in Kentucky and in other States. \ Iepub-
lican victory III the Stale would do more to en-
courage the best class of immigrants to cone
within our borders than can be accomplished III
any other way, or through any other agency.
The heaven is working, and we have faith in lis
success within Il few years. In the meantime We
shall not forget that while Repuhiicanism Is n
help to immigration, immigration Is also IA help
to Republicanisnl The thrifty farmers of the
Eastern States who move West in persuit OF
more land to meet the necessities of Il growing
family are not Bourbon Democrats; aud the in
d%ustrious foreigners who come here for homes and
fields Will soon learn Ia choose rightly between
the two parties
