RLIND LEADERS.

vet they refuse to consider that this startling
change in any way concerns them. I" 1t is all
due to the temperance question:" they say.
| q The Administration is very popular in Ohio"
The loss of nine Republican Congressman they
are pleased to explain in the same way. Yet
every impartial authority in Ohio says that
there was shown everywhere IN the state ah
almost unprecedented indifference among ne
publicans, They took little interest In thelr
party, and were decidedly unwilling to express
| by their votes approval of the course when 'he
| Administration leaders had pursued at wash
| ington On every hand were heard hltter COM
| ments upon the assessment of Federal officials,
unon the extravaganza and incapacity OF Con-
oress and upon the uncOnceaied and absorbing
efforts of the Administration to build up the old
third term machine at any cost OF patronage
or principle. For the first time in many years
it was impossible for a true Republican to feel
pride in his party.
IL is folly to refuse to recognize these facts
Capable and statesmanlke leaders would 1ecog-
nize their existence and seek remedy for them
at once. Are the Administration leaders
doing this Far from it, The very day after the
Ohio election saw Don Cameron and his faith
full man Cooper in Washington levying fresh
assessment on the Government clerks, and
threatening those refusing to pay with sum-
mary removal. Probably no one of the many
Administration blunders has done more to
disgust Republican voters than this miserable
oo6 ,,,oro;laas assessment business Yet the
first significant rebuke has no ether effect than
TO stimulate the Bosses to o fresh levy And
vet there are well meaning Republicans
in PENNSYLVANIA who think they can re-
buke and overthrow Cameron by voting
for Beaver, whose only hope of election hangs
ON the number of Democratic votes which
this assessment money can buy They say
they think Beaver will be his own man, and
that Cameron can be defeated hereafter. How
can Beaver be his own man when he owes
everything he is or can be to his Boss lie Is
not the peoples candidate. Why should any
one expect him to be the peoples servant3
This new assessment by Cameron will have
as bad effect in New York as in Pennsylvania.
He would not attempt it if he were not sure of
tie sanction of the President who gives his
tacit approval by allowing such an outrage to
be perpetrated. Every act of this kind affects
the Republican party throughout the couLtry,
and increases with alarming speed the num-
Der of Republicans who think this is good
year to allow their party a little wholesome dis
ciplinng. If the Administration can afford
this, probably the party can. But what is to be
said of the sagacity of leaders who wiltully in
vite defeatY

GIRFJELD IND VIRGINIA.

Tho Administration organ at Washington is
publishing series of articles detailing the inter-
views which Mr.. George c. Gorham says he haa
with President Garfield touching the political
affairs of Virginia. AS history these pretended
interviews are about as valuable and veraciouS
rs the post-mortem correspondence with Tar
field recently published by Stephen W. dorsey
r. Mr. Gorbam is to be believed, the late
President was most eager to embrace Malone
and his princples-especially his scheme oil
having the debt of Virginia by repudiating
sixty per cent of it. Fortunately for Presi-
dent Garfeld's memory, he had formal con-
yersation with a delegation of Virginia Repub-
lcans on the 18th of June, 1881, about a tort
night before his assassination. A summary OIL
this conversation was made pubic NJ the ume
with the Presidents approval, and some ex-
tracts from it are instructive and edhJlng TO-
day. General WIclham was at the head OF the
delegation that called, and in answer to series
of questions the general tenor Of the Presidents
remarks WAS that his Administration was not
engaged in the business of bOssing" State or
CARNATIONS, and that liberty OF action and full
discretion were left for those who knew all the
facts and circumstances of the local situation.
Specifically, the President spoke thus:
81 wish 10 state two general propositions First that
have been Republican all my life. never voted the
Wbip or Democratic ticket; 1 could have voted, but
never did until the birth Of the Republican party have
been a consistent Republican SINCE and therefore
would not do anything in opposition to the best inter
ests of the Republican party. Second, am positively
and emphatcally opposed 10 any party or people pose
belief ,ood initiate against The public Jdh or credit IL
was for Virginia Republicans TO decide whether this
movement was of the character indicated; that IL,
oheer he ReadtuSter Increment TdS tainted ~th rep"-
diation. II Il ,eas, hev ought not to support H."
Une of the delegation reminding the Presl-
dent that certain gentlemen in Virginia were
promising appointments to office, he emphati-
cally declared that no one was authorized to
promise appointments or threaten removals."
He added with point and emphasis these words:
am opposed to the boss system of politics, and do
not propose give the patronage OF any State to any
man"
Somehow there is a strange discrepancy be-
tween the authentic public words of the Presi-
dent and the private assurances which he gave
to Mr.. Gorham. The friends Of the late Pres-
dent are quite content to have Mr.. Gorham
SANDER and defame him, for that does not harm
him. They. are not content to have any living
soul believe that the President ever entertained
any feeling for Gorham except contempt.

mands Of the liquor interest, or such course
as will enlist the hearty and united approval Oh
temperance voters.
Perhaps they may reach CONCLUSION more
easily, if they reflect upon two or three facts.
After the victory. the liquor association OF
Ohio telegraphed to New-York to do likewise.
Why7 Have we any immediate excitement
about the temperance question in this State
Again, the liquor association labored nightly
for the election of Democratic Congressman,
as well as for Democratic State officers. what
have Congressman to do with prohibitOry ac-
ton in the States But the Democratic gain
on members of Congress appears to be quite
as great as on the State ticket. One more
fact the Democrats proposed, at the last ses-
sion of Congress, to repeal all taxes on whis-
key and beer. They almost unitedly sup
ported the movement, while the Republicans
defeated it. Has the liquor interest made an
alliance with the Democratic party for Ma
tIonal purposes7 A few concerns have on hand
100000 gallons Of whiskey. The profit,
If the tax could be repealed, would enable
them to pay very large sum to campaign
fund.
The first step in such q scheme would be TO
secure the election of Congressman favorable
to repeal of the taxes on liquor That done,
by defeating the Republican party III a few
great States, everything will be ready for a
combined movement of the allied forces in
1884. If that is the plan, the money and the
work of the liquor dealers was not exactly
thrown away last Tuesday.

A DROLL MISTAKE.

The Democratic leaders in this State and
their mouthpieces on the stump and in the
newspapers seem to be laborng under the i'm
preston that the people have come to believe
that Democracy has experienced a change Of
heart Never were men more mistaken. The
people concede that Mr.. Cleveland is better
sort of a man than the party usually presents
for their SURFACES. They concede that the
platform upon which he is running is made
up for the most part of fair planks. And that
is all they concede. When they hear a
Democratic orator tell his audience that a new
"and better era in the history of Democracy
ahas arrived they smile, shake their heads
and remark, Buncombe."
No. the fact that Mr.. Cleveland was nOmi-
mated at Syracuse does not mean q Democratic
revival Granting that he has made model
Mayor. and the fact remains that new depar-
lures in politics are not achieved by the easy
process of making this, that or the other man
candidate for an exalted position. Cleveland
may be inclined to lead in the right paths in
case of his election, but who is prepared to
say that the party would follow? Nay, more
does not the disgraceful record which the
Democracy made In the last Legislature war
rant the belief that if Cleveland succeeds at
the polls and undertakes to bring about new
departure, he will be compelled In the
language of Dundreary, TO flock all by him
self"q 1t has happened time and again during
the last quarter of a century that the Repub
licans have been driven from power In New
York or some other State and the Democrats
have been given the reins, not because the
people believed that "anew and better era
in the history of Democracy had dawned, but
rather because they wished to punish the Re-
publican party. And if Cleveland is elected,
let not the Democracy lay the fatterng unc-
ton to their soul that they have gained the
confidence Of the people of New York. They
will simply have gained another opportunity
to prove that Newly is never so well of
as when the direction of public affairs is in the
hands of Republicans That is what they
proved last winter by their course in the Senate
and Assembly; that is what they proved when
they last were in the majority in Congress.
When they have "put their creed into their
deed" when they have made their course
in administration c--ry out their promises In
platform, it will be time enough for our Dem
ucratic friends to proclaim that new and bet
ter era has dawned in their party. But as yet
any such proclamation would DO premature.

sUUISKEY DEMOCRACY

The strength of the liquor interest has been
shown in Ohio. But the strength of the OPP
positiOn to that interest has not been shown.
In the midst Of the rejoicings with which the
liquor sellers and dealers hail their tremendous
victory, the thought arises, "Why this Joy, if
"there was no reason to fear that the oppo-
sition, if ever concentrated, would prove to
abe a majority Why were 100000 spent,
"more or less why were exertiOns beyond all
precedent made, in an election at which moth
cling was directly at stake, unless to frighten
/" the politicians of both parties into refusal
ito permit the people to vote upon the liqusr
question directlyf Senator Sherman was
right in this; nothing could be accomplished
directly, either for or against the liquor inter-
est. by the election or the defeat Of any one
of the candidates this year. The State officers
to be chosen had no power to affect the result
nor the members of Congress there was no
Legislature elected this year, and the ultimate
decision of the question could not be affected in
any way,by any vote cast this year. except
by the moral influence of display of power.
Was there real need, then, to spend SO much
and work so hard. in order to alarm the poll
ticians If men know that they can win
when the real struggle comes, do they ever
waste so much force in o mere noisy DEM
onstrati0nf
There is but one possible conclusion, if we
think of action in the State of Ohio only.
That conclusion is that the liquor interest
knows it is in minority, and would be out
voted on a straight vote for or against il.
Therefore this readiness to spend heavily in
order to prevent such vote.
The Prohibitionists reason from the same
conviction. They want to force the Republican
party to submit a prohibitory amendment to
the people This they want because they be.
Ieve such an amendment would prevail.
They refuse to give any aid to the Republican
party until it is ready to submit the question
to the people, Because it was not united in
opinion, nor ready for that course, their
strength was not shown.
A shrewed leader is reported as saying that
this defeat would put back any reform ten
years. Probably he reasoned that politicians
would now DO afraid of the liquor interest, and
that the Republican leaders would be indig-
nant because the Prohibitionists had refused
aid. But the Republican politicians do not seem
to have anything left to lose. They have
aroused all the opposition that they could have
aroused by any course. There Is nothing left
for them except complete surrender to the de-

was nominated Notwithstanding his public re-
fusal to seek the nomination. Young hepuO-
licans in Passaic County, however, determined
TO make him candidate il they could, and
carried every precinct in the county except one
ward, more than half of the Republicans OF the
county being at tho primaries. In Bergen
County, though the intention OF the fassaic
people became known only three or four dhyS
before the primaries were held, they were very
largely attended, and resulted In o unanimous
vote in convention for Mr.. Phelps. Such eVl-
dence of genuine popularity could not be gam
said, and the warm friends of MIR. Hill III

naturally disappointed, have accepted Tue ue-
cision of the convention with an honoraoie
spirit. The first meeting of the campaign was

Hill himself spoke earnestly for the election OF
Mr.. Phelps, who followed in very effective
speech. The Hon. G. A. Grow and the.llon. >. H.

work is being done in every part of the district,

support of many Democrats. The district

Democratic candidate, John Ryle, has been
long engaged in the silk manufacture, but his
views in favor of the development and prOtcc-

YAcATIoN SPEECHES IN ENGLAND.


The Parliamentary recess lis drawing to n
close in England. In another week the Com
mons will be debating the rules of procedure
and watching for an opportunity 10 force the
Ministry to declare its policy i'll Egypt. Mean
while, five Ministers and the Premier himself
have made short speeches without saying any
thing beyond the barest generaliries. The leader
of the Opposition has shown more energy than
discretion in his vacation speeches, and is ridi-
culed even by the press of his own party. The
lines on which the Egyptian question is to be
settled have not been defined The policy of
the Government is as dense mystery as it was
when the intrenchments were stOrmed at Tel
el-Kebir.
Undue Importance should not be attached
to the utterances of Mr.. Courtney respecting
Egypt lie occupies the post in the Treasury
Department which was vacated by Lord
Frederick Cavendish, when Mr.. Forster resigned
the Chief Secretaryshp for Ireland. 1t is Il posi-
tiun which necessarily implies the mainte-
nance of close personal relations with the
Chancellor of the Exchequer But unlike
Lord Frederick Cavendish, Mr. Court
ney is not reckoned among the Premier's con-
adential friends and advisers, and it is by NO
means probable that he has been commissioned
to speak for the Cabinet. He has been forced
to say something about Egypt in the course
of his vacation speech, and as no Cabinet meet
ing has been held, his remarks must be inter-
preted as rejecting his personal views rather
than the settled policy of the Government. Mr..
Courtney has never lost the professors manner
which he acquired at University College, and
his political speeches invariably read like
lectures. So close is his adherence to precon-
ceived theories that he is often a most awkward
ally in practical legislation. He is man of
orotchets, who cannot be depended upon to
consent to the extension Of household suffrage
unless some of his peculiar notions respecting
cumulative voting and minority representation
are taken up. He is not Minister to whom
