PROSPECTUS
SS2 TIE etOBE-DEIOCRAf. 1867

In its prospectus for 1881 the GLOBE
DEMOCRAT announced with pride and
satisfaction the election Of General
Garfield and the belief that his ad-
ministration would be so wisely coun-
seIed and 30 well conducted that II
would give . new lease Of power to
the party under which the nation had
grown free. strong and prosperous.
The vile hand of an assassin has since
stricken down the good and gifted
man who, while we wrote year ago,
stood on the threshold of the Presi-
dental Office, in the prime and vigOr
of manhood, with o future full Of
honorable promise to himsel and
to his country. The high trust
which the people had reposed in him
was dropped by the palsied hand Of
death when but part of the great
work upon which he had entered had
been accomplished. But to quote his
own memorable words when the sad
dest of all American tragedies was
enacted, nearly seventeen years ago,
''God reigns, and the Government at
Washington still lives"
The mantle which was voted to Jas.
A. Garfield by the people falls upon
Chester \. Arthur under the Consti-
tuition of the United States. and there
il every reason To believe that he will
worthily wear it, He was almost the
unanimous choice of the Chicago Con-
vention for Vice President, and his
name and efforts contributed perhaps
more than anything else to the sue
cess of the Republican ticket i'm the
State of New York. He Is q man of
broad views, fully informed on all
public questions, aud he enters upon
the duties of his office determined to
discharge them honestly and consci-
entiOusly. The GLOBE DEMOCRAT
pledges him its cordial support in
every good word and work for the
country and for the Republican party.
We hope and believe that under his
prudent and skillful leadership the
evil spirit Of faction will disappear
from the ranks Of the party, and that
unity and harmony will prevail i'm all
its counsels. This end once secured
there can he no doubt of future sue
cess. A large majority of the people
Of this country are Republican In sen-
timent and sympathy, and nothing
but internal discord can imperil our
triumph ut the polls while the choice
is between Republicanism and De-
mocracy.
The E-DEMOCRAr hai no new
declaration of principles to announce.
IL can fairly ask Judgment "a Ia the
future from the record of the past. Ii
stands firmly by the platform of the
party ON all national questions; be-
lieves In the equal rights of all men
t. L..
with an honest silver dollar for pant Of
IL /; well regulated tariff, giving pro-
lection without encouraging monop-
oily. and a system of popular education
so liberal that ignorance and illi'erary
shall be incxcusable. These are the
main questions upon which the two
great parties are now diviled-the
oppose aud the republicans
affirm n to each ot the propositions
we have named.
While fully approaching the mag
nitude of national ISSUES, the GLOBE
DEMOCRAT will not lie unmindful of
the importance of questions which
affect the West. and especially the
state Of Missouri Among these is
We shall do all we
possibly can to encourage Europeans
seeking u home on this side of the
Atlantic Ia investigate the claims of
this great State-its fine climate, its
fertile soil, and its great mineral re-
sources. Bourbon Democracy il the
foe of Immigration i'm Missouri, IL il
always has been in Kentucky and in
other States. A Republican victory
IN the State would do more To- encour-
age the best class of immigrants to
come within our borders than can he

through any other agency. The leaven

success within few years. In the
