but before his Inauguration, in which
he gave him advice as to the compost
ton of his Cabinst, on, SIS Dorsey put 1t,
presented some frozen facts." 1t was,
no doubt, presumptuous on the part OF
Dorsey to assume the Office of Pres1-
DENTAL adviser, yet if copy has been
kept of all the letters which Mr.. Gar
field received ffJm the time of his cleo
tion in November until his inaugura-
ton in the March following, no doubt
hundreds of similar epistleS from other
Republicans than Dorsey can be found.
Republicans of all breeds and all de-
scripti6ns volunteered advice, made
suggestions and warned the President
elect against this or that .'snake in the
grass. Most of them had far less
claim to have their views considered by
.the Rresident than -QQrseY had, The
| latter stood in with Brady and the Star
Route crowd. He was an efficient col
lector and an equally efficient distribu-.
tor of money where it would do the
Republican party and Garfield the most
good. He visited Indiana in the interest
of the grand old patty and did not
60 there empty handed. His services
were recognized by banquet in New
York City, at which Vice-President Ar
thur made 1.-THE greatest effort of his
lifs." and alluded in terms of pleasant
~ to the purchase of State election.
1 Dorsey was one of the leading instrrI.
ments in the election of Garfield, and
as such he felt.that he was entitled to be
heard.
! Among the men who assumed the Of
flee of Presidential adviser with more
impudence than was displayed by Dor
sey, was Whitelaw Reid, of the New
York Tribune, who constituted himself
a midnight adviser by telegraph of the
Administration. 1t is something of a
coincidence that as Dorsey was g tired
of this blathsring talk'' about James to
go into the Cabinet from New York, SO
Reid cautioned his correspondent to
"beware of James soft, insinuating
way' Each, from different motives
dreaded James, and each wanted to be
Presidential adviser.
The truth is that the spoils system has
developed an impudence on the part of
prominent Republicans which would be
simply astounding were it not 80 COM
mon. They regard the offices in the
gift of the Presidency much as if a por-
tion of them were their own property,
and take liberties with a President-elect
which would be regarded as downright
insolence if the unfortunate Chief Mag

Democratic and Republican Tendencies
C0ntrasted.

The two great parties which now ex.
ist, the Republican and the Democratic,
represent more OF less perfectly the two
great tendencies which have from the
first, with scarcely any interruption,
contended for the mastery ever since
the Republic was formed. The Repub-
lieans have become the legitimate heirs
of the early Federalists. 1t is true that
they do not entertain all the tenets of
that party, and do not revive the meas
ures and the conflicts which in their day
the Fsderalists set on foot; but they
stand for tie Federalist purpose of a
strong central Government, aiming
steadily to absorb or belittle the local or
State Governments. They stand for
vast expenditures, for magnlflcence IN
the National Administration, for pomp
and glory, as displayed in an immense
array of office-holders witha costly and
infinitely ramifed system of political
administrative functions. and for all
sorts of so-callsd public Improvements
at the expense of the National Tfeasuryi
and they stand for taxing the people
roundIy to maintain this immense Fed
eral establishment and this system of
superb outlays. Perhaps the most ex-
treme manifestation of this prevailing
direction of the Republican party was
the attempt to make General Grant
President for the third time. with all
that it implied.
On the other hand, the Democrats
still represent that doctrine of strict con-
struction of the Constitution, of local
self-government, of the restriction OF
the central power, of the reduction OF
the number of Federal office holders, of
| the most limited interference of the
National authority, of econ6my, sim
plicity, -and purity in the conduct OF
public affairs; or, as President Lincoln
expressed it, of government of the peo-
Pile, by the people, and for the people,
with which the Democracy of Jefferson
and Madison Originally came into being.
Of course in this long period, and
through the mighty vicissitudes that
have been brought upon the Republic,
the Democracy of the present day is in
various respects inferior to the Democ-
racy of which Thomas Jefferson was the
most distinguished advocate. Things
have changed. The civil war has passed
its red hot plow-shares over the minds
and the characters of the people. The
enormous expenditures of the Federal
Administration, the endless array OF
salaried office-holders, the loose prac-
tees and the usurping purposes OF the
party in power. have done much to cor
rupt the citizens of this country; and
the Democratic party, weakened and
perverted by its long exclusion from the
useful discipline of administration, has
suffered and been debased. But it still
represents the spirit and the impulse
with which it started out. So long, then,
as the Democrats stand for these pri-
mary ideas, and for this momentous
school of public policy. so long will all
men who adhere to that school adhere
to the Democracy.--M y Sun.

Singing Small.

When the South Carolina Legislature
had completed its gerrymander for Con-
gressional elections, there was grand
Wagnerian concert of criticism from the
Northern Republican press; but we no.
tice that the chorus now sings small,
and the enthusiasm has evidently abated.
1t is not the custom of our Republican
contemporaries to let a good thing drop
when once they get it in working order,
and there must be some exceptional rea
son in the present instance The rea-
son is fully apparent in the revelation
that has been made to the critics, that
the Notifications from which they hurled
their moral projectiles were made of
glass, and such exceedingly thin and
brittle, glass that they have heard at
frequent intervals lately the fearful
sound of shattered crystal. The Charles
ton Neacs and Courier has gone into the
map business, and it is publishing an
illustrated serial upon the subject of
Republican gerryti1andering, that is
very interesting and instructive. Its
latest is map of the Senatorial districts
OF Connecticut, arranged in such way,
that while the State is Democratic on a
popular vote, the Republicans feel rea-
sonably sure of getting over two-thirds
OF the Senate. We have seen that map
before in one or two Democratic papers
of Connecticut, but we have never seen it
in the Boston Adrcrtiser. though placed
side by side with the South Carolina won
der, it would take the medal every time.
The Charleston paper does not claim that
all this zjustifies gerrymandering in the
South, but says: ''Our purpose in dis
playing the gerrymandering feats of the
Republicans is to remind those worthless
that they themselves are stepped to the
lips in political sin, and that they are
the last persons on earth who should
cast stone at the white people of South
Carolina. We mean that the public
here and everywhere else shall know
that the Republicans have, for years,
gone far beyond the poor efforts of the
South Carolina Democrats in the matter
of gerrymandering. If this has the
effect OF disgusting the people with such
practices in the North as well as in the
South, we shall be satisfied, and one of
the objects of the honest and we'll
meaning gerrymander in South Carolina
will have been handsomely accom-
plished." :" An "honest gerrymander"
may sound little paradoxical, and so
far as we are concerned, it seems a
rather irreconcilable idea. But the
Neaos and Courier has made an honest
presentation of the evil in it's broader
relations, and we unite our hope with
that which it expresses, that the North
as well as South may come to see the
unfairness of this way OF dividing States.
Ii our theory of government by the peo-
pie is correct, then is the gerrymander
never justiiiable. If it is mistaken
idea, then it should be changed for some
other before small ma critics, and some
times no majorities at all. are allowed
to dispose of the peoples votes in any
way that suits their own arbitrary and
selfish purposes. s.-Boston Statesman.
