Address of Hon. J. F. Lewis.

Hon. John F. Lewis, Re-adjuster candidate
for Lieutenant Governor has issued an address
to the people of Virginia, discussing the polit-
ical issues of the present campaign, compre-
hendng the polI-tax restriction, the public
debt, public schools, the color line, and the
Blair letter forgeries This method of ap-
preaching the voters is adopted because of
continued ill-health, which prevents him from
meeting the people face to face and discussing
the issues orally. The various points pre-
sented are closely investigated and reasoned
out with force and fairness. He adopts the
Riddleberger bill arrangement of the amount
OF the debt, as the just sum the people are
obligated to pay and sustains this position by
arguments and facts. All the other questions
are discussed with clearness and ability and
may be read with interest and profit. The
address is too lengthy for our columns, at this
time, but as a number of them have been
printed in pamphlet form, we presume it will
be circulated literally and perused generally.

Mr.. Blaine's Letter.

We publish to-day the letter written by Hon
James G. Blaine accepting the position of Sec
rotary of State rendered him by the late Pres
ident Garfield. 1t was given to the public
without Mr.. Blaine's knowledge or consent as
we see it stated and doubtless furnished to the
press by some appreciative friend who was
moved by the tender friendship and patriotic
sentiment which pervades the letter. 1t is not
the formal paper that might have been expect
ed on such az occasion, recognizing the honor
offered in stately and dignifed sentences but
the warm breathings of friend and the big
throbs of heart animated by elevated emo
lions for country and party as means of pro-
noting the interests of coantry Its language
and construction show that it was never in
tended for the public. 1t is the expression of
friend for the eye of a friend, and to give as
surance OF that sincere sympathy and conf
dence which bring congenial natures together
and knit them as with hooks of STEEL The
country will think the better of Mr.. Blaine,
and more kindly remember the lamented Pres
ident, because of the letter, and because of the
earnest that it gives of the generous friendship
OF which they were both capable Indeed, we
know not which to admire the most, the un-
guarded, disingenuous, touching personal SEN
timents, OF the magnanmous surrender
OF self to the harmony of the Republican party
and the promotion of the public welfare, and
the unclouded success OF President Garfelds
administration

A Letter Which Mr.. Blaine Wrote to
President Garfield.
WASHINGTON, December 20, 1880,


My Dear Garfield:
Your generous invitation to enter your Cab
met as Secretary of State, has been under con-
sderation for more than three weeks. The
thought had really never occurred to mymind
until, at our late conference, you presented it
with such cOgent arguments in its favor and
with such warmth of personal friendship in
aid of your kind offer. know that an early
answer is desirable, and | have waited only
long enough to consider the subject in all its
bearings, and to make up my mind definitely
and conclusively. now say to you, in the
same cordial spirit in which you have invited
me, that accept the position. 1t is no affec-
tation for me to add that make this decision
not tor the honor OF the promotion it gives me
IN the public service, but because think I can
be useful to the country and the party-useful
to you as the responsible leader of the party
and the great head of the government am
influenced somewhat, perhaps, by the shower
OF letters l have received, urging me to accept
written to me in consequence of the unau-
thorized newspaper report that you had been
pleased to offer me the place. While have
received these letters from all sections of the
Union, | have been especially pleased, and
even surprised, at the cordial and widely-ex-
tended feeling in my favor throughout New
England, where | had expected to encounter
local Jealousy, and perhaps rival aspiration
In our new relation shall give all that am
and all that can hope to be freely and ioy-
fully to your service. You need no nledoe Of

Judge Harris addressed the people of Bath
county, at Warm springs, on the 11th He
had a good crowd, and all to himself. He did
not refer to the candidates or the various
ISLANDERS which have found currency in the
Democratic papers. He alluded to the color
line delicately, his main reference being to
the debtquestion, and HE future political ten
dency Of the present contest. He assumed
that the debt question was beyond the reach
Of legislation, and that the Republicans were
to be the oenefciaries of Re-adjuster success.
When alone the Judges fancy is FERTILE and
he prefers to indulge that to tackling facts
and figures.

President of the Senate.

| Not in the presence of death and when the
nation is yet bowed down with its great grie
| because of the assassin bullet, can the Dem
ocratic party learn the common decencies o.
public life. 1t was presumed that under the
surrounding circumstances and in view OF the
excuse for the assembling Of the Senate in ex
ira session, the spirit of partizan greed would
at least for awhile be abated, and plain justice
and right govern the action of the body, rep
resenting as it is supposed to do, the better
thought and higher type of American citizen
ship. Notwithstanding the fact that the Sen
ate WAS called together to provide tor the pos
sible Presidential succession, and give form 10
the popular verdict recorded last November
and the further fact that the party SO affirmed
had majority of the Senate present ready 10
give expression to that verdict, the Democrats
availed ola technical advantage and proceeded
to reverse the popular will in the election OF
MI. Bayard President of the Senate, and by
virtue Of that position, the constitutional
successor Of President Arthur, should death
come to him in any form. Three Republican
Senators stood armed with their credentials
prepared to be sworn in two States awaited
the admittance Of their representatives to par
ticipate in the organization, as they were enti-
tied to do by the Constitutions yet the accidental
majority the Democrats had by reason of the
two vacancies from New York and one from
Rhode Island, the elected and commissioned
Senators, however, present to take the oath of
office, was availed of to place Democrat
in the Vice Presidents chair, which was de-
creed to the Republicans by the verdict of the
people in November last. And this accidental
and fimsy techn cal advantage was given
them, too,by the bullet ian assassin and they
as greedily seized it, as though it had been
the formally expressed wish of the American
people. How long they will enjoy their i'll
gotten advantage remains to be seen. Sena-
tor Logan, it is stated as soon as the Senators
from New York and Rhode Island are sworn
in,will move to elect Judge David Davis Presi
dent of the Senate, which position, it is an
nounced Mr.. Davis will accept. Upon such
motion the Republicans would have a major
ity Of two, counting Gen. Malone on the Re-
publican side and Judge Davis not voting
Such result would place the Senate In the
power of the Republicans and thus defeat the
partizan aims of the Democrats
Mr.. Bayard himself is probably the most
acceptable Democrat who could have been
named for the position, yet accepting the
place in the manner it was conferred will not
elevate him in public estimation. To blum
der is traditional with the Democratic party.
1t is its fate to stumble on blunder, if there
is possible way to do SO, and in this action
they committed one of the most fragrant that
has been chargeable in its history.

Ohio and Iowa.

Elections were held in Ohio and Iowa on
Tuesday last for State officers and members of
the, Legislature The Republicans carried both
States, electing the Governors and majority
Of the Legislature. In Ohio there were four
State ckets,-Republican, Democrat, Temper
ance and Greenback. The vote of each of the
latter parties was increased. Gov. Fosters
plurality is estimated at $4,000 One baanch of
the Legislature, certainly, and possibly the
other will be Republican. The vote in Iowa
was reduced from last years figures about 25
per cent. The Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, Sherman, is elected, and the Legislature
is Republican by large majority.
For an "off year., when the Republicans
generally suffer from the stay-at-home vote,
the result in both States is very assuring, and
gives the drift of public sentiment as between
the two parties.
