Garfield and the belief that his ID
ministration would be 20 wisely cOuu
seled and 90 well conducted that

man who, while we wrote year ago
stood on the threshold of the Presi

Of manhood, with o future full o
honorable promise to himsel and

which the people had reposed In hin

Ii every reason to believe that he will

name and efforts contributed perhaps

State of New York. He Is 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 In all
its counsels. This end once secured

but internal discord can imperil our
triumph at the polls while the choice
Is between Republication and De-
mocracy.
The GLOBE-DENOCRAT has no new
declaration OF principles to announce.
1t can fairly ask judgment as to the
future from the record of the past. 1t
stands firmly by the platform of the
party on all national questions be
