THE aAKFIELp nEpunLIoANs.

Private DaIzen Speaks for Them, and De-
nOunces the rthur Boom.
To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-SIR: Ten
days ago L sent letters to a number Of
daily newspapers East and West, express
sing the Opiuion that President Arthur
would not succeed himself, and giving
my reasons therefor without reserVa-
ton. had made inquiries of number
of Republicans from various states, and
believed then, AMI believe now, that my
account of the latter fairly represented
the views of majority of Republicans.
/ VenturGd to add that the arthur
boom" was purely the result of precOn-
certed advertising, and emanated solely
from Ofiic9hOldeTs, OfficeseekeTs, and the
parasites who surround President.
repeat. that this manufactured boom
will soon demonstrate itself to be ficti-
tiOus and ephemeTal, and die the death
of all artificial bOOms. | said also that
all this talk about the President recon-
CLING and harmOnizing the Stalwart
and Garfield wings, factions as distinct
and hostile to each other as the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans of the first Grant
campaign, is all bOSh, and that no Gar
field men whom had conVersed with,
and they constitute fully ninety-nine
hundredths of the party today, favor
Arthur's nomination, or would vote for
him if nominated.
Not one of my letters has found its
way into print. This Arthur boom keeps
booming, much to the amusement of the
people who know it is false and foolish,
and yet there Is nothing in it. Now,
why Is 1t that in certain quarters the
real sentiment of the party cannot find
expression? Ohio made Arthur, and it
will unmake him again. Nothing was
ever palmer to me than that with FOs-
ter, Sherman, NOyes, Hayes and every
respectable Republican in Ohio bitterly
opposed to him, Arthur has not the ghost
OF chance, even IL Ohio were the only
state against him.
No observer of politics in Ohio has
failed to discover the strong effort that
Republicans have been making for q
year or two to conceal their dislike of
Arthur. 1t is merely for tho good of
the party that the hypOcritical resOlu-
tiOn Of endorsement was passed at our
last state convention. sat in that con-
VentiOn and saw the general sneer that
passed over the house as 1t was read.
said audlbly No" to it, and Gov. Rich
ards shook his head and smiled, as much
as to say, 30, let it pass; it's only q
joke, and no one believes it," After
Garfield's death every one of his friends
went on Arthnr's black list, and he is
there yet. Now, for the daily press and
politicians TO say the Republicans of
Ohio have forgotten that, is simply a
lie, and all the editors know it as well
as do. What is the use of repeating the
lie any longer out of a squeamish, sycO-
phantic fear of offending an accidental
President anda cOterie of OfficehOlders,
who, in few months from this, will re-
turn to private life to stay thereP L am
sick of this lying, and will thank you,
as L know thousands of other Garfield
Republicans will, if you publish these
plain but wholesome truths, hitherto
suppressed through moral cOWardice or
meaner motives. PRIVATE DALZELL.

A STORY TOLD by GOV. ALLEN OF
OHIO.

OHIO.
When Senator Allen arrived in Wash
tngtOn in 1887 he found the city filled
with strangers, who had come from all
parts OF the country to be present at the
Inauguration If President-elecG Van
Buren,. Among them were q number
OF leading men from Ohio, and they Oc
cupied so much of their newly elected
Senator's time that it was not until late
on the night of the Sd of March that he
had an opportunity of speaking inform
ally and freely with his lifelong friend,
President Jackson. On that night he
entered the White House, Senator of
the nation, to see the great man who,
little more than twenty years before, in
the LynchbuTg tavern, had laughed at
his bOylsh curiosity and wondered at his
ready tongue. Without ceremony, be-
ing well known TO the attendants, he
was shown into the Presidents bed
chamber. Chief Justice Taney and Mr..
Forsyth, of Georgia, Secretary of State
and ex-Minister to Spain, were already
In the room; and Jackson, himself ac-
tive, aud to a certain extent restless,
stood in the middle of the floor, smoking
short cOrn-cOb pipe. He congratulated
Allen warmly upon his election to the
Senate, and then calling to a young
lrishman who acted as his body servant
and waiter, turned to his visitors and
said:
Gentlemen, think the occasion will
warrant me in breaking over one of my
own rules. Let us drink a little Ma
deira."
The wine was brought. Jackson took
small glassful-it was the first he had
been known to touch for several months
-and then, asking his friends to excuse
him for a few moments, he finished
writing letter upon which he was en-
gagged, sealed, directed it, and, lighting
his cob pipe again, took Whit or two.
Then he stood silently watching the
face of tall, Old-fashiOned clock which
stood in one corner.
1t was five minutes before midnight
five minutes before the advent of the
day on which Andrew Jackson would
cease to be President of the United
States. Slowly the minute hand moved
on the dial. The silence in the room
became almost painful. 1t was broken
by the clear, sharp bell of the clock
striking the last hour of day which
had gone forever. Then jackson, start
ing suddenly, and looking toward his
friends, said, with a quick, nervous
laugh:
Gentlemen, l am no longer President
of the United States, but as good a citl-
zen as any of yOu."-Men of Our Time.

The sword of Col. Low, which he
had in his hand when he was killed at
the battle of Fredericktown, was return
ed to bis family in Ripley county last
week. The sword had been in the
possession Of Mr.. Alexander Ross, OF
Cape Girardeau, ever since the battle
until the 9th inst, when It was placed
in the hands of Mr.. Pinkney Mabrey,
of the Doniphan Prospect, to be dekv-
cred to Mrs. Lowe anc her family.
Mr. Ross I'm returning the sword, in q
letter among other interesting remarks
has the following to say Of Col. Lowe:
I'm this return to its rightful owners,
this by me highly priced relic, will
repeat the language Of the late Colonel
Wood, who unbuckled its belt and dir
engaged the hilt from the grasp of the
fallen hero, for hero he was as all A mey-
lean soldiers were who fell in the fight:
Lowe was q brave fellow, brave to
recklessness; he held his men well in
hand, and they would have been hard
to dislOdge from the fence had he lived;
then ossr loss would have been very
heavy" IT will be q pleasure to q

True Then and Now.

Seven years ago q wise and patrioti.
man q profound thinker and an honest
statesman, wrote these words:
1.-TWO evils infest the official service Of the
Federal Government.
"Ohe is the prevalent and demoralizine
notion that the public service exists not fol
the business and benefit Of the whole people
are, In truth, but the servants Of the people.
Under the influence Of thiy pernicious error
public emplOyments have been multiplied
the numbers of those gathered into the ranks
Of oficeholders have been steadily increased
beyond any possible requirements Of the pub.
lie business, while ineficiency, peculation,
fraud, and malversation Of the public funds,
from the high places Of power to the lowest,
have overspresd the whole service like lep-
"The other evil is the organization Of the
official class into body Of political mercen.
aries, governing the caucuses and debating
the nominations Of their own party, and at
tempting to carry the elections of the people
by undue influence, and by immense corrup.
ton funds systematically collected from the
class In other countries, sometimes bv its
own weight and sometimes in alliance with
the army, has been able to rule the morgan.
lied masses even under universal suffrage.
Here it has alresdv grown into gigantic
power, capable of sitting the inspirations Of
sound public opinion, and of resisting an
easy change Of administration, until misgov-
eminent becomes intolerable and public spir
1t has been stung to the pitch Of civic rev.
olution."
The author Of this analysis of the
political situation in the summer of 1876,
was SAMUEL J. TILDEN of New York {.
Three months later he was elected
President of the United States.

were then.
