A great many people do not understand
the true inwardness Of the Whitaker trial
which has but just been finished When
the first trial was ended Gen. Schoield,
who was then commandant at West
Point was blamed by many for as they
supposed not, giving Whitaker fair show,
and the second trial, coupled with the re-
moval of Schofeld and the placing OF
Howard at. the Point, was more of Schofield
than of Whitaker. The injustice and
malignity of Schofields enemies in the
matter is plainly seen. Himself a man of
exceptional character, thorough gentle
man; honest and honorable, loved and res
pected by all who knew him; soldier of
proved courage and upright thoughts; do
ing no man an injury; impartial to all;
loved and reverenced by his students,
among whom he had implanted his own
ideas of honor until it was an outspoken
fact that no West Point cadet would I'M
der any consideration tell a lie; he is put
in position, where his motives and ac-
tions were practically on trial. because he
dared to do his duty and do justice to
white man at the expense of negro. He
was removed from the Point and in his
place was put General Howard, man who
called himself friend of the colored race
beyond all living men, but if the stories of
the Freedmans Bureau are to be believed
cared more for the negro's money than he
did for the negro.
A man who so loved the negroes, that
they filed up his heart to the exclusion OF
the Indians, whom, when he was sent to
fight them, never got near enough to see
AS a paper states, The was always so
far behind the Indians, he could never
catch them, so far ahead of the negroes
they never could catch him" Whatever
the result of the second trial, no one will
now ever doubt Gen. Schofeld, and some
reparation should be done him.

The Republican newspapers are full of
what the Administration has done in the
way of reform What has it done? 1t
found star-route ring fourishing-a ring
which had been openly denounced during
Hayes time, but that example of fraud
did not care to bother himself about it. 1t
put stop TO the thefts, but the punish
ment Of the thieves seems yet long way
off. 1t found frauds in the Treasury, but
contented itself with merely dismissing the
thieves, and although committee of in
vestigation had made a report, it suppress
ed it. 1t openly bought the
vote of senator, when the vote was
needed and now when it is useless hest
tates about carrying out the contract. 1t
endevored to buy the vote Of Strahan of
the New York assembly to help it in a
party fight in New York, that it had stirred
up itself all on account of the spoils. Such
is the administration which our Republi-
can friends would have US believe has done
so much Let that administration seem to
care more about Furnishing than sheltering

cations because John Sherman
is perhaps hid in the wood
pile, but go on regardless of whom
it hits; let it show more interest in the
welfare of the country than in the welfare
of the Office holders; let it care less for
party and more for principle, and some
faith can be put in it, it's supporters can
have reason to brag of it. But with the
fact of this disgracefull contest staring
the people in the face; a contest engender-
ed by the administrators bad faith and
broken promises, with the fact of the at
tempted bribery both with money and
offices constantly before them; the people
are apt to hesitate a little and think the
matter carefully over before they stamp it
with their approval

The Porter case is finally ended and the
accused has been practically declared in
nocent. A long and very expensive trial
has resulted in a knowledge of the fact
that the prosecution had no case to start
with. Expert evidence has been totally
overthrown and the finding of skilled
accountant has been easily explained by
an acute lawyer Porter who held office
for six years and handled thousands of
dollars, has been found to owe the county
thirty dollars and teoeRty-ttoo cents. He
has a credit of over hundred dollars to
offset this which, however was not allowed.
The prosecution abandoned their case from
the start they dropped one by one their
witnesses and finally pinned there
whole case on Portcr's evidence and his
alone. The outcome is grateful to Por-
ter's friends, and he had many; it only dis
pleases his enemies and he had a few.
There are many men in this town who
stood by him through all his trouble, who
said he was an honest man with honest in
stincts and of honest descent and it was
not possible for him to steal, and this be-
lief abided to the end. The Union has
waged war against him from the beginning
and now when his innocence is declared,
has no word of apology, none of sorrow,
for the course it has taken.

The entire finding of the court in the
Porter case can be briefly summed up as
follows: Mr.. Porter neglected to charge
himself with an item of thirty dollars and
twenty-five cents. On the same account
he also neglected to charge the county
with hundred and thirty dollars leaving
balance in his favor of ninety-nine dol
lars and Lightweight cents. Now that they
have got through with the Democratic of
fetal they had better try their hands at
some of the Republican ones.

The question is now being pressed home
on the thinking voters of this country, are
you not tired of the Republican partys
The necessity for through renovation of
our government is every day becoming
more apparent
In 1876 the people had made up their
minds that it was time for change The
shameless frauds of the dominant party,
their arrogance and utter Indifference to
the best good of the country had disguised
the people Politics had become disreput-
able and office was held merely for the
sake of the stealings that could be made
out of it, extravaganza in public funds
prevailed everywhere mo wonder the peo-
pie rose up in their might and gave a
rebuke to all of this in the shape
of a Democratic majority. But the Repub-
ican party had not learned their lessons of
fraud for nothing and a steal, the greatest
known in the history of the country, was
made successful and a pious fraud was
placed in position he never had right
to. Hayes conducted an administration
outwaruiy pure; whIted sepulchre that
for time deceived and hoodwinked the
people. An administration that seemed
honest, because frauds were hidden and
theft secret, because no prosecution were
allowed or exposures permitted to be
made And now when James and McVeagh
are anxious to expose all this they are
hampered by the men, high in the party,
whom these Investigations viii hurt
The Treasury frauds went unpunlshed be-
cause an ex-Secretary was implicated and
the star route investigation promises to be
farce for similar reasons Nothing of
reform can be accomplished, nothing of
puritlcation done, until an entire uprooting
OF the party take place. and men are chosen
TO do the work, who have no crimes of
their own to conceal. no affair of their own
