SO well conducted that it would give new loase

himself and his country. The high trust which
the people had reposed in him was dropped by
the palsied hand Of death when but . small part
OF the great work upon which he had entered
had been accomplished. But to quote his own
memorable words when the saddest Of all Amer

years ago, God reigns, and the Government 1t

The mantle which was voted to James A. Gar
field by the people falls upon Chester A. Arthur
under the Constitution OF the United States, and
there Is every reason TO believe that he will
worthily wear ii. He was almost the unani-
nous choice of the Chicago Convention for Vice
President, and his name and efforts contributed
perhaps more than anything else TO the success
OF the Republican ticket in the State of New
York. He is man Of broad views fully in
formed on all public questions, and he enters
upon the duties of his Office determined to dis
charge them honestly and conscientiously The
GLoBE-DENoCRAr pledges him its cordial sup
port in every good word and work for the coun-
try and for the Republican party. We hope and
believe that under his prudent and skilful Lead
ership the evil spirit of faction will disappear
IRON the ranks OF the party, and that unity and
harmony will prevail in all its couns.ls This
end once secured, there can be no doubt of :u-

Is between RepubiIcanism and Democracy.
The g, oBE-DEyooRsr has no new declaration

judgment AS to the iuure from the record of the
past. IL stands firmly by the platform of The
party on all national questions; believes in the

system OF popular education. so liberal that ig-
norance and illi.eracy shall be inexcusabis
These are the main questions upon which the
two great parties are now divided-the Demo.
Gratis oppose and the Republicans affirm as to
each oil the propositions We have named.
While fully approaching the magnitude of ps.
tional issues, The GLoBE-DENocRAr will not he
unmiBdiul OF the importance of questions which
affect the West, and especially the state OF Mis-
souri,. Among these Is immigration. We shall
do all We possibly can To encourage Europesns
seeking home on this side OF the Atlantic to in
sehilgate the claims Of this great stafe-its fine

publican victory IN the State would do more TO
encourage the best class of immigrants to come
within our borders than can be accomplished in
any other way. or through any other agency
The leaven Is working, and We have faith in ia
success within Il lew years. In the meantime
We shall not forget that while Republicanism Ia

the Eastern States who move West in pursuit Of
