Arthur can Garry New York.

BuUd(O commercial advertiser,
Gen. Garfield never could have been president
without the electoral vote of this state. New
York would mover have gone republican had not
Arthur's name been on the presidential ticket.
The gains which gave the state to the republicans
were made at Arthur's own home, New York city
and Kings county, where he was best known aud
most esteemed. The plurality in the state for
Garfield was 2l,O33 the gains in New York and
Kings were 81 s53, or more than the entire repub
licnn majority in the state. The republicans of
the state cast 1929 per cent of the total vote in
1880, and 1917 per cent. in 1866; the republicans
in New York and Kings cast 1909 per cent.
of the total vote IN 1880, and only S.S9 per
cent. in 1866. We look in vain for any
such gain AZ the home of Gen. Garfield In Lake
county Ohio the gains in 1880 over 1876 were only
81 votes, The gains in Arthur's state 53,775;
in Garfeld's 26,7ll. 1t is evident therefore that
Arthur was quite as essential to the success u
| Garfield as Garfield was TO that of Arthur.
Gen. Arthurs chief strength In 1880 was among
| the business men of the metropolis, the men who
control capital and employ labor His discreet
| administration of the high office which he now
| holds has certainly done nothing to weaken the
| confidence of these men. On the contrary, his
chief journalistic opponent, the New York Times
is constrained to admit 1t has been calculated to
| strengthen confidence. Why, then, should there
be much doubt about his ability to carry the state
in 1854?

Hon. II. IL. Roosevelt on Tilden.

GutH w IHclhWWl enquirer.
"Suppose," said Mr.. Roosevelt "we nomi-
nate him and he accepts. He does not want
the nomination, but he is human being,
and if it were pressed upon him by the en-
thusiasm Of whole convention the old man,
in spite of his infrmities or because Of them,
might yield. Then SEQ thep osition we would
be in before the republicans. They would
begin to run us from first to last on our in
gratitude to Tilden in not nominating him
four years ago, on his confessed age and in
frmities, on what he has said about his own
incapacity to take tho Office, and there would
be nothing but Il laugh. laugh, laugh from
first to last, and at tho end of tho campaign
we should be nowhere. Under the cover of
that ridicule tho old cipher dispatches and
fifty more scandals would be ingeniously
poked in, and Instead of having an aggressive
campaign as IL we were reveuging an injury
we should havo to fight great guiiaw, car
toons, and things Of that sort all the time.
Tho serious contest would be on the tail of
ticket, upon the assumption that Tilden could
not run his office, and his vice president
would have to take 1t. Now suppose on the
other hand we get up this feeling for Tilden,
and he does not accept where are we to come
next? We shall all be at sea, aud go around
guessing and trading, and ten to one some
second rate fellow will get the nomination,
about whose record We arc imperfectly in
formed, and then again we shall be in quar-
rel among ourselves from first to last. mo,
said Mr.. Roosevelt, 'the policy Of our party
| is unquestionably frank and candid one; to
choose man capable of living through his
| term, and about whose principles we are per-
| feCtly informed, and on whose character and
strength we can prognOsticate his COURSE"

"G am out Of politics. but as citizen take great in.

appear before the public feel It my duty, when
called upon, TO express my opinion in matters Of
such great interest as the selection Of our next
president. The administration of Mr.. Arthur has
been singulnrly pure and upright All of his pub
lie acts be attributed directly and solely to con-
sderltions Of public interest and the rlghtlul per-

| "ls he a true civil service reformer?'
"He has done more for civil service reform than
any other man. 1t tisa well known fact that the

The Bateman-Swaim affair presents o
curious aspect. A reputable citizen makes
serious charges over his own name involving
tho honor and honesty of high army officer,
and demands court martial. The officer
Indignantly ropels the charges, but in the
face of them makes a settlement which leads
to the withdrawal of tho charges. The com
plainant, banker, is content to get his
money, and drops the demand for court
martial. Should tho case end here2 We
think not. The question of honor aud hon
esty is still unsettled. There is still an un-
decided issue. The honor of the army and of
every officer in it requires that this unsettled
issue should be- decided. Under the military
usages of European countries all army officers
could and probably would unite in asking for
an investigation of such charges involving
the honor of one of them.

WEST VIRGINIA and Oregon have declared
for Tilden and Hendricks with whoop.
Tiden is dear to the democratic heart, and
the initiative set by these widely separated
states is likely to be speedily followed by
others. Now, it is Of course we'll under
stood-by tho other fellows-that Mr.. Tilden
will presently write letter announcing his
irrevocable determination not to be caudi-
date. But suppose he is in no particular
hurry about it, and in tho meantime incau-
tious, inconsiderate democratic conventions 90
on instructing for tho old ticket until it
clearly has enough votes to insure a
nomination. Tilden has said he is ready to
lay down his life for his party, and in such a
case he could hardly afford to refuse the
lesser sacrifice OF refraining from inditing a
letter OF declination. Clearly, If Mr.. Tildeu
has any regard for the feelings of choice
lot of democratic e1pectants he ought to SGT
about the composition of that letter without
further delay.

The Postonico Appropriation Bill.

The principal changes made by the senate
in the postofiice appropriation bill are that it
increases the amount allowed for postmasters'
salaries from $10,500,000 to $11, 100000; for
salaries of clerks in postoffices from $4,775, 900
to S40O0,000 for payment to letter carriers
and expenses of the free delivery system from
SO, 100000 to $4,000,000 The senate strikes
out tho clause providing that periodical
publications. other than daily newspapers,
when delivered within tho city of
publication, shall be charged the same post
age as if delivered elsewhere. For inland

senate strikes out the clause directing the
postmaster general to make uniform reduc-
tion of 3 per cent. on the compensation paid
to all railroads, and requiring the land grant
roads to carry the mails for 80 per cont less
than the rate charged by other roads
| The appropriation for the railway post
| office car service is increased from 81, 100000
to $1,625,000 and $1S5,000 is appropriated
| for necessary and special facilities on trunk
| lines Tho latter item is understood to be for

for steamboat service is increased from $685.
600 to $650,000.
| The appropriation for star routes is in
creased from Si,6Oo,00O to $5,0OOO00, but the
clause reappropriating the unexpended bal
ance of last years appropriation is stricken
