reason, of his journey at this time is to
influence his party's action. 1t is likely
that his object is to cOnciliate and
unite the two factions. lie can hardly
desire to have his party in his own state
divided into his friends and enemies.
Ills old friends, the Stalwarts, he will
not desert. That is conceded all around.
The only question is whether he will
offer the Half Breeds anything and
whether he car satisfy them and the
Stalwarts too. 1t is difficult thing to
do. Garfield tried to divide the hOnors
and only divided the party. But Arthur
is said to he better politician
and may succeed in his natural aim
to keep his friends and disarm
his enemies. He will show managing
tact of a high order if he can get these
growing beasts to lie down together.
But it is not seemly for president to go

ness to let the public Judgment against
him in the Credit Moblier matter lie
undisturbe'l and on September T., Mr..
COlfaX writes to the .S"n from his resi-
tlencc at South Bend, Indiana, briefly
stating his defense and declaring " can
call God to witness that | never had a

The Presidents Visit.

President Arthur has gone to New
York for five days, and the Republican
state convention of New York meets On
Wednesday next. 1t has been for some
time intimated that the president was
going to be present to take Il hand in the
contest between the Half Breeds and
Stalwarts but the improperly of such
attendance by him was So apparent that
the story was not credited. Now that
he has really gone TO New York the
thing looks differently. If he had de-
sired to so as alleged only to wind up his
law partnership business and to attend
to private affairs, he certainly would
have postponed his visit until after the
convention, that his action might not be
misconstrued. 1t seems very probable

In Perfect. Accord.

The editor of the Nem Eru seems to
think that there is some inconsistency
between the position of one of the
editors of the INTELLIGENCER prcsid-
ing over the Willlamsport convention,
and tue editorial utterances of the In
TELLIGENCER of Tuesday, September
90. This inconsistency it tries to point
out in quoting from the INTELIIGENCER
of that date The sstrtion that "the
Democracy maintain to day tie essential
truth of the main accusations made by
them against the Republican candidate
for the presidency one year ago.; and
contrasts it with this resolution adopted
by the convention:
Resolucd, That all good citizens, regard
less Of Tarty affiliations, sincerely mourn
the death of President Garfield, aud that
we, as representatives, of m re than four
hundred thousand Democratic voters, ex-
press their individual and collective grief
at tho misfortune which has bcfallen the
republic, their sorrow and sympathy with
the domestic atfliction of the presidents
stricken household, and their cxecration
of his assassin and OF the mulderer's foul
crime.
There is no Inconsistency whatever be e.
tween these declarations, us anybody
can see. And, as i matter of fact, the
writer of this article can assure the edi-
tor of The Ncir Era that had the declar-
alton of the INTELLIGENCEH, above
quoted, been submitted to the Williams
port convention every member of it
would have voted for that declaration.
We took some pains to find out
their views upon the question, and we
feel certain that there was not one of its
members who did not agree and who
would not lie willing to declare that
"the Democracy maintain to-day the
essential truth of the main accusations
made by them against the Republican
candidate for the presidency one year
ago."
