He argues that it will be altogether better for
morals and for society if these men and women
be formally divorced and allowed to form new
marital alliances, rather than keep such a
number out of the natural order of things and
prevent them from the enjoyment of home.
France, under the influence of the Catholic

COLONEL ALEXANDER MCCLURE, of the
Philadelphia Times, an independent Democrat,
in a published interview, says that with any
ticket the Democrats may nominate, 'there
would perhaps be a doubt of Indiana" but he
adds, eff Tilden goes in to capture Indiana
he'll do it, and there will be Just as many
mules there for him as against him, and more
too" Mr.. Tilden went in "to capture Indiana"
in 1876. He sent his agents out here with
unlimited funds, and the showers of green
backs were as the leaves in Vallambrosa. Mr..
Barnum was instructed to ''buy seven more
mules" and doubtless did it. The State was
carried for Tilden and Hendricks. Colonel
MeClureis an independent and performer, "
yet unblushingly proposes that Mr.. Iilden
shall ego in" again on the same line
ito capture Indiana" There never
was so corrupt and disgraceful a campaign in
the history of politics the world over as that
made by Mr.. Tilden and the Democratic party,
under his personal supervision, in 1876. States
were systematically debauched, the b~allot-box
was corrupted openly, electoral votes were bid
for as shamelessly as sheep in the market, and,
as a last resort, the Democracy, led by George
Hoadly, under the inspiration Of Samuel J.
Tilden, attempted to burn their way into the

Cronin. There has been much talk of the
Indiana campaign of 1880. Knowing all about
that canvass, the indianapolis journal has
time and again dared and defed the Demo
cratic House of Representatives to order an
investigation into the elections Of 1876 and
of 1880. They have the power. Why has
there been no move in Congress to get at the
truth of these repeated assertions concerning
the campaign in this State in 1902 The
reason why, is because they have been afraid

The Boston Herald, which opposes Blaine,
is shrewd enough to see that in doing so it
necessarily puts itself in opposition to the late
President Garfield. Therefore it is frank to
go the whole hog, and does not hesitate to ma
Ign the memory of the man who made Mr..
Blaine his confidential friend and principal adj
ministrative officer. 1t says:
"The campaign for Garfield was a repetition
of that hypocrisy on a larger scale. The ideal
Garfield-the Garfield nominated to catch
votes and carry the election-was a reformer.
But the real Garfield, the Garfield whom the
politicians wanted to use, and did use, was a
very different kind of a person. The posed
and posing Garfield INDUCED in beautiful SEN
timents in favor of reform. The actual Gar
field made Mr.. Blaine his political manager,
and used high offices to reward men who
made his nomination possible"
We commend the brutal frankness of the
Herald to the hypocrites who are affecting
v~irtuously to oppose Blaine, but who make
long protestations on the street corners of
their devotion to Garfield.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1884-06-11

In the eulogy upon President Garfield, de-
ivered in the House of Representatives by
James G. Blaine, occurs this paragraph, which
may possibly have a bearing at the present
juncture:
GAS a candidate, Garfield steadily grew in
popular favor. He was met with a storm of
detraction at the very hour of his nomination,
and it increased with continued volume and
momentum until the close of his victorious
campaign:
mo might nor greatness in mortality
Can censure 'seape; back-wounding calunny
The whitest virtue strikes. What king so strong
Can tie the gall up in the slanderous tongue.
"Under it all he was calm, and strong, and
confident; never lost his self-possession, did no
unwise act, spoke no hasty or ill-cons;dered
word. Indeed, nothing in his whole life is
more remarkable or more creditable than his
bearing through those five full months of vi
tuperation-a prolonged agony of trial to a
sensitive man, a constantand cruel draftupon
the powers of moral endurance. The great
mass of these unjust imputations passed IN
noticed, and, with the general debris of the
campaign, fell into oblivion. But in a few in
stances the iron entered his soul, and he died
with the injury unforgotten. if not unfor-
given"
