TIE DISEASE AND TIE REMEDY.

knowledge of the disease must precede any
Trustworthy prescription for cure. But the Re-
publican party knows by this time what lis the
matter with it. Some of the bosses and ma
chine workers may be really ignorant; many
more profess to be ignorant, or pretend that
the defeat was due to other than the real
causes. But these men, whether ignorant or
sincere form only a small fraction of the party.
The great majority OF the Republican voters
know perfectly well what change in the cOn-
duct Of the party turned magnificent victory
under Garfield i'll 1880 into tremendous de-
feat under Arthur in 1882. Where ten Repub-
licans voted tor Democratic candidates. in order
TO arrest the downward course of their party,
abont thirty deliberately refused to vote at all,
or voted for independent candidates, and at
least as many more most heartily rejoice That
the needed surgical operation has been per-
formed by some body, though they shrank from
casting the requisite ballots themselves. Prob
ABLY three-Ouarters of the voters who constitute
the Republican party fully understand the re-
cent defeat and rejoice at it, because they hope
it will rid the party of influences that would
otherwise have brought certain defeat in 1884
No, there is no lack of understanding of the dis
ease. i lie DeSseS anu tlieiT lnSli ulncHiS no uOU
deceive even themselves, when they attribute
the defeat to any other than the true cause
For instance, when they say that the miscon
duet Of the House Of Representatives caused
the defeat, men remember at once that prom
lses and patronage were used at the outset to
capture a majority Of Republican REPRESENTA-
tlves, and that Mr.. Keller was in that way
elected Speaker, not because he was a fit man.
but because lie WAS a Stal art. Not one of the
worst measures would have been passed. if the
| President had employed the me influence to
defeat it that he employed to put the control Of
| legislation into the hands of men who did
| not represent the party. Even the River on1
| Harbor bill would never have gone To tho pa
ident had lie used half the effort to nrevent !,
that he did use 10 satisfy in the distribution ~
Offices his active friends who supported it. or to
promote the election of Keller as Speaker Of the
House aud Gorham as Secretary of the Senate
| The conduct of the men who have assumed IN
manage and have mainly represented the Re-
publican party Since Dir. Garfield died, has die
,yustcd Republican voters and deprived the
party OF public confidence that is the precise
difficulty.
But the millions of voters who see the cause of
disaster arc not go sure TO agree in applying a
remedy. OF course they do not approve the
proposal of Stalwarts, who urge the President

share of public attention. He may overdo II
by expressing some views which have some re-
mote application to something or other, but he
has been very discreet thus far. lie stahuS w.
day as the leading Democratic Candidate
This being the case it becomes interesting u
inquire about the quality of his Democracy
for this is likely to be the test question wheh nc
comes before the convention. The most lucid
declaration of his political creed which he mas
made in recent years was his famous speech al
Lawrence, Mass, on August 81. 1876, when he
opened his campaign for Congress. 1t was IN
that speech that he made his eloquent all usl0n
to the upturncd faces of the dead negro SOL
diers, and also in that that he called himself a
"widow," a name which has chung to him since
and is likely TO remain with him for many
years to come. The speech was very interest
ing one and we advise any Democrat eager to
support the General for the Presidency to hunt
it up and read it carefully. We are able to
give him only q sample OF it. but that accu-
rately represents the strength and flavor OF the
whole. After abiding to the charge OF the
negro troops at New-Market, and saying that
on the field afterward he had counted jl1 dead
and wounded colored men, he continued:
swore to myself as saw their mute upturned faces
to desert their will stand by than a. /

Hamburg massacre; what that 1t was the begin

think time somebody should be Congress who knows
when. and where and how to speak Of these Southern
Outrages.
The whole point of the speech was that the
Government had the right to " interfere with a
State to correct its misdeeds." The Democrats,
he said, denied this, and the Republicans as
serted it and that" he declared, is what
stands between the two parties" 1t is our
opinion that the same issue stands there to-day
and will stand there in 1894. If the negroes
have their rights in accordance with General
Buffers 1876 views, no Democratic President
can by any possibility be elected Does he hold
the same views now, and will he. run for the
Presidency as a Democratic candidate with
them for platform We earnestly trust he
will

The way in which the Administration fools
around the Federal Offices in this city, especl-
ally the Post Office, is getting to be monot-
onOus Whatever the protested object Is,
the real purpose. OF course, is only to fnd
some excuse to Gust Mr. Pearson. These in
vestisations began last spring and they have
been kept mp pretty nearly ever since. One OF
the last commissioners seLt on is an old en-
ploye of Mr. IiattOn, First Assistant Postmaster
General He is from Iowa as well as Mr.. Hat
ton. He and his fellow commissioner report
that we have more postal facilities in this city
than are needed that there are too many Car
riers, too many collections and too many dellv-
cries of letters that there ought not to be let
ter-boxes in the Produce Exchange and
similar places and other nonsense of that
kind. The residents of this city and the Post
master know il good deal better than any gen.
tlemen from small towns in Iowa what the
needs of this city are. These Investigations.
which are conducted at great expense TO the
Government, are useless and impairment. The
great pans taken 10y the Administration and
especially tue First Assistant Postmaster
General to cover up their real object show r
commendable respect for pubic opinion. 1t Is
like the homage which vice pays 20 virtue. But
they do not deceive anybody. They will make
q much better showing for themselves II they
" i'll attend strictly to their own business and
let this Post Office alone.

BUTLER As a DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE.
We presume that there is little doubt in any
body's mind that General Butler is running
for the Presidency ut the very top of his speed.
To lie sure he declared with great emphasis the
other day that he was not Presidential candi-
date, but he took care to accompany the denial
with long ard able exposition of his views on
all public questions, and prudently had the same
sent to all tho morning papers. That might DO
taken as evidence that if he was not q cand-
date ut tho time he was not perceptibly shrink
ing from a call to become one at any moment.
Indeed, the unusual dignity and breadth of his
views presented him to the minds eye as stand
ing with his hand curled around his ear In or
der that he might the more quickly catch the
expected call for him to step to the front as the
man for the times The casual reader who
caught this impression from the first half col
uun of his views, found that impression grow
suddenly into a conviction when he dropped UNI
expectedly upon this careless allusiOn to Grover
Cleveland, inserted within the bowels of n par
ograph upon excessive taxation: ave all
swonder at the immense majority that Grover
" Cleveland has received. l have not the exact
aout that lie has no more votes than had Cen
u erul Hancock in the election of 1880. 1t GER
tainly will not be many more"
That betrays the General Enthusiastically. He
is not only candidate himself, but he has a
sharp eye upon the only man whom he thinks
a formidable rival. HYes," he says with as
snmed carelessness. "Cleveland has large
majority, but it is only because the Republic
scans did not vote. Hancock had Just as big q
u vote and yet he didn't carry the State. 1t will
abe q mistake, therefore, to nominate Cleve-
aland as candidate who can be depended
"upon to carry Newly York. Now l carried
Massachusetts, on - square vote. Ergo, am
" a stronger candidate than Cleveland" That
Is what he means, and We are not prepared TO
say that he is not night Surely nobody can
claim that Cleveland's enormous majority ia
Democratic or due to his personal strength.
1t is rather IN evidence of FOlger's weakness.
en- the question Of personal strength, there
fore, we are forced to admit that Butler
stands ahead. lie has; also defined his views
with freedom and tolerabe oxplicitness, while
MIR. Cleveland has contented himself with
LOOKING very wise and saying very little.
Whether in the end this will prove the wiser
course it is now too early to cay, but for the
present the Generals largeness and liberality
OF speech are concentrating uDon hima large
