National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1884-06-04
POLITICAL NOTES.


Col. John A. Martin, editor of the Atchison
Champion, and secretary of the republican
national committee will probably DO tho
republican candidate for governor OF Kansas.
The general sentiment in Kansas is that he
will have q walkover. ......
We hopo Mr.. Charles Emory Smith will
bring his family physician with him to the
convention next week. There should be
skilled medical attendance at hand whom Mr..
Smith falls over stifl-logged in a conniption fl
when Mr. Arthur's nomination is made upan-
imous.- Chicago News.
Thore is trifling Inconsistency about some
of the arguments made against the nomina.
tion of President Arthur, whose authors adj
NIT that his administration Is good one, but
contend that he Is bad man. 1t looks as if
they regarded the presence Of fgs as prima
facia evidence that the plant producing them
was q thistle. --Rochoster Post Express.
A Blaine organ in this city insinuates that
Federal patronage has been used TO secure
the nomination at Chicago of President
Arthur" This is a statement unfit to be
made unless il can be backed by facts and
proof but the organ that makes tho charge
cannot sustain It. and knows that IL cannot
sustain it.-NeD York Commercial Advertiser.
Now, we desire that the republicans shall
nominate Mr.. Arthur for president because
he has been the best president save Lincoln,
since tho republican party controlled the af-
fairs of tho nation. We do not propose any
thing but tho good of tho country. We are
equally DESTROYS that the democrats shall
nominate proper man. If they name as
good man as Arthur the people will have
reason to rejoice. Philadelphia Record.
Wheat so cents-just half what it was
twenty-eight years ago, under the lowest
tariff-RoCkUiHe Tribune.
To remedy this 1t is seriously proposed to
strike down the tariff, let foreign mechanics
do our manufacturing, and send few million
more men to the fields to engage in the bust
ness of growing wheat. A brilliant bit Of
craftsmanship. The idea, while not patented,
will hardly be adopted by the American
people, Indianapolis Journal
1t is given out that Mr. Tilden will accept
the nomination Of his party for tho presi-
dency provided Joseph T. Mcdonald is given
the second place in preference to Thomas A.
Hendricks. Mr.. Tlden evidently thinks
that q palsied hand and sore too would not
make good combination. His wishes, If
automatically made known, will no doubt be
respected. There is nothing so potent with
the democracy as voice from the tombs.-
Inter Ocean,
The form of the leading issue remains to
be determined but the real question will BIO
an effort on the part of the democrats to turn
out the republicans. and an effort on the part
OF tho republicans TO Keep the power they

But President Arthur alone is entitled
to the credit for closing the chasm opened in
1881 and making the election of any rcpub.
lican possible. Tho Blaine people are at q
loss to know why the Independents lean SC
strongly toward Arthur for second choice
The explanation is found in the sterling good
sense no has displayed in the management OF
affairs and his clean record. Those point:

President Arthurs admi nistraton speak
for itself. He has done nothing while presi

take execution. and the burden of the song o
his enemies Ia that one time he was politician
and maninulated the machine in New York
