itself on the Fourth mainly through the

tits announced that President Arthur will leave
Washington for this city to-day or tomorrow,
with the intention OF remaining here till after
election, assisting actively i'll the campaign work
and doing all he can to secure the election OF
the Administration ticket This Is very remark
able information. When did q President Of
the United States, previous to this unique
epoch, feel called upon to leave his post Of
duty and descend to the work of ward poiti-
Giant Why should he assist in the campaign
work of any party9 He is President of the
whole country, not the manager of elections in
any one part of it. Campaign work is an hon
orable and necessary service, but 1t is not
among the duties of the President of the United
States. The people are jealous of the dignity
of their highest Office, and will not look with
patience upon departure so unprecedented
and SO reckless as this.
The condition OF political affairs in this State
makes the act one of peculiar significance.
Owing TO the unwise interference of the
President, many Republican voters are
refusing to give their party ticket anything but
the most Indifferent support. They look upon
it not as their ticket at ALL for they had no
voice in it's selection. but as the ticket of the
Administration, forced upon them by the power
of the Administration machine, which supple
mented its own energies by forgery and
theft. Thousands of them will not vote at all
this year for State officers, and thousands
more are threatening to vote for Democrats in
order to make the rebuke to the Administration
more emphatic. So general is the dissatisfac-
ton among Republicans that none of the emil
nent orators of the Republican party, here or in
other States, will consent to speak in favor of
the distrusted ticket for fear of den flying
themselves with al odlous cause. And what
has created this popular resentment ? Judge
Folger has been generally thought personally
unobjectionabl BILE. He is well fitted for the
duties of Governor Aside from his recent
foolish letter TO the Albany Republicans
his political record has been, in the MAN,
such as TO win for him the confidence of
the people. But he was never the candidate Of
the Republicans of tho State that is the real
trouble. They did not ask him to run for Gov
ernor. Even after he had been put into the
field, and every effort had been made to arouse
local pride in his behalf, his own county re-
fused TO favor his nomination. The Republic
cans of the State not only did not ask him to
stand, but they also refused to be coaxed or
driven into accepting him, and his nomination
could only DO secured by fraud and trickery.
The Administration machine not only dictated

Stephen, The TRIBUNE takes leave TO say to
you that you can to-day do no better service
to the Republican party, to Secretary Folger,

GENERAL NOTES.

AT the recent meeting in Geneva of the In.

Formento, of New-Orleans, and unanimously resolved
that at the next meeting yellow fever, especially con-
nectlon with international communication should form
special subject of discussion, and that all governmental
but particularly maritime governments and those
Interested IN the question: should be invited " send
delegates and documents.
One day last week thirteen married couples
on their wedding stood together in silence befon
the tomb Of Washington at Mount Vernon, and every
pair seemed to be utterly obyous the presence tho

Events IN THE EAST.


attention momeutarily to the group of rising
nationalities in Southeastern Europe. He
had passed the summer in Austria and had
been the Emperor's guest at Sch0nbrunn.
Ry his protracted residence in Vienna he
evinced his preference for the Austrian al
lance, and on this account tho Opposition, or
Ristich party, in Servia was reported to be
planning his dethrOnement IN the interest oil
Russia In the course of his journey to Rust
chnk. where an interview had been arranged
with Prince Alexander of Bulgaria, he is said
to have received information of plot by which
the roval boat was to have been blown up
with torpedoes on the Danube. He had barely
entered his own capital when he was fired
upon by the widow of one of the military riot
ers who were condemned to death four years
ago. The woman seems to have been victim
of melanchola, and the event may prove to be
devoid of political significance. The Russian
party in Servia is a minority faction, the bulk
of the population supporting the King in his
desire to seek protection in Vienna rather than
ST. Petersburg.
Since the close of the campaign of 1877 Aus
tra and Russia have been rivals for diplomatic
supremacy in the Balkan peninsula. Austria
has acquired influence in ROumania and Servia.
The elevation of those principalities to the
rank of kingdoms was Niennese device, and
each of the new Kings has come to be regarded
as a representative of Austrian rather than Rus
sian policy. During the same period the
Prince of Bulgaria has made several journeys
to st. Petersburg and has done much to Rus
slanize his principally. He is about to MARY
a daughter of tie Priuce Of Montenegro, who,
having become estranged from Austria, has
recently concluded treaty of alliance with
Russia The Sav States of the Balkan are thus
equally divided in their diplomatic associa
tons. In the Turkish province of Eastern
Roumelia, the Russian officers in the militia are
increasing in number and the European Gov
ernor is having great difficulty in counteract
ing their influence. AT the same time there is
no evidence that Austria has abandoned the
Interior purpose of creating on the Egean
another Trieste at Salonica.
In another quarter of the East war-cloud
seems to be rising. DR.. Schweinfurth repre-
sents the rebellion in the SOudan as very Sc
rious. The Egyptian garrisons TO the number
of 5000 men have been butchered and the
False Prophet has announced his intention of
descending the Nile from Khartoum with
great swarm of fanatical followers. AS he is
now at least 100 miles south of Cairo, his
threat will cause no uneasiness in the lower
Nile basin. At the same time there is no inn
mediate prospect that the Viceroy can rees-
tablsh his ascendancy in that extensive region
stretching from the Cataracts to the Equator
of which his father was the nominal ruler. 1t
was in 1869 that lsmail sent out an expedition
under Sir. Samuel Baker to extend his sway
beyond Khartoum to the confines OF Abyssnia
and the lands bordering on the White Nile.
That nominal ascendancy over the SOudan
and the Equatorial provinces has already been
lost

the nomination; it stole it from the Conven-
ton. That is why the Republican voters OF
the State are Indifferent That is why nobody
with q political past or hope of a politlcai
future is hard mt work for the ticket.
Yet In view of the unfortunate position I'D
which his interference has placed the party, the
President decides to come 10 this city and inter-
iere some more Can he be so blind as to
think that any "active work " he may do can
help his ticket7 Ills presence can have
only one effect, and that is still more deeply to
enrage Republican voters. He came TO this
CITY inst previous to the Republican CJnyen-
ton, and his "active work then was recog-
nized in the results which followed. He is
responsible for the condition the party
here is in to-day, and his further interference
can have no other effect than to make that con-
dtion worse There has been too much "ac-
tive work " on his part, and the wonder Is that
he cannot see il. He cannot have forgotten
the protests of the people when he degraded
his Vice Presidential Office by going to Albany
to help save his friend Conkling from rhe pop
ular wrath If he ventures long step further
now. and degrades the Presidential office by IN
terfering between the enraged people and his
luckless personal candidate, he must abide the
consequences 1t is unnecessary to fOretell
what those consequences must be. Any pOlit-
ical leader except a machine Administration
worker, would have no difficulty in perceivlng
them, and would pare no effort to avoid them
