Am answer 40 President Eliot.

The Boston journal of July 8 publishes
a letter from Hon. Edward Mcpherson,
IN reply to the speech delivered by Presi-
dent Eliot at tho meeting of tho Boston
"in cpendepts." Mr.. Mcpherson shows
that even the learned president Of II uni
yersity can make very loose statements
when he undertakes TO deal with matters
to which he has given no special study.
People possessing ordinary familiarity
with the course of political events cannot
but be surprised at the lack of accurate
information exhibited by man SO dis
tineuished for his attainments in science
and philosophy. When subjected to the
test of a critical analysis, as applied by
Mr.. Mcpherson, his speech becomes a
string of vapid assertions, without CO.
herenco and without truth.
President Eliot finds fault with the
platform because it is not "clear aud I'M
ambiguous" Mr.. Mcpherson takes up
tho several propositions Of the platform
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1884-07-11

soriatim. and shows that they express
precisely what tho convention intended,
and that asa whole thoy constitute asound
body of political doctrine. No question
affecting tho Interests OF tho people IS
evaded in tho platform, and each plank
is a distinct declaration, which the oppcsi-
tiou must either traveso as wrong or
accept as right. President Eliot him
self evidently had no difficulty in
interpreting it, Notwithstanding its
alleged ambiguity, for he forthwith
proceeded to take the negative Of tho
propositions most offensive to the "inde-
pendent" bolters.
When discussing tho civil service plank
in the platform, President Eliot said;
"Whcu mcn like Blaine and Logan, whose
place themselves ON q platform with the
(civl serviccJ principle, they commit
gross immortality and do u great mischet
to tho public mind" Mr.. Mcpherson
convicts President Eliot of the grossest
ignorance of Mr.. Blainos public record
upon this question. More than two years
ago Mr.. Blaine told Senator Mitchell, at
that time chairman of the senate COM
mittco on civil service reform, that he was
decidedly in Of the proposed lcgisla'
ton, and few months later Hdrper's
/ Jyeekly credited him with having outlined
| in the campaign in Maine a plan by which
/ security and moderate tenure could bC
obtained for oil persons in public employ
ment Mr.. Blaine was not in the senate
when the civil service law was passed oil
he no doubt would have voted for 1t. His
brief experience in President Garfiold''
rrbiuet taught him the necessity for set
ting up some sort Of barrier against tht
onslaughts Of Office seekers =
In response to President Eliots lament
that since tho war young men were at
loss to know how they could honorabl!
serve their country. Mx. McPher3oi

David Craig was yesterday granted divorce
from Malindu Craig, Justice Macarthur per-
forming the severance Ia due legal form. Mr..
Campbell Darlington tied the bill for the COM
pluluuuC in which he charged her with will
fully desertug him in 1851, after ten years of
married life aud further that during the last
four years vi their cohubitUtion She was II con-
frmtd and habitual druuGurd; also, that for
the past two years she has been living in open
adultery with Sonny Shipley.

Werner, nee Salfed, wanted divorce from
Julius Werner and permission to resume her
maiden name. They We're marrieh in New
York ON Feb g. 1888, aud subsequently She
came here TO reside, leaving him ON account
of threats and failure to support her. When
he followed her on the 4th Of March last, she
charges that he committed adultery with
Jessie Hamilton at II house of ill-reputc on
Thirteenth street. Mr.. Leon Tobriner was
the attorney and had a good case, but the
court denied the application on the ground
that the petitioner had not resided in The dis

IN commenting on the Presidents veto
the Fitz-John Porter bill the New
,rk Epenin1 Post saws.

tHe i ltH-JOuh loItcE piii thS NCW
jrk Epening Post says:
What is curious about this is, that a reference
% the Army Register shows that congress and
the President have in no less than ten other
cases concurred in doing the very thing which
the President now says congress has no right
to do and which he thinks it would be I'M,
proper for him to do-that is, in restoring to
his rank In the service an officer wrongfully
dismissed by sentence of court-martial These
cases are those OF Surgeon General Hammond,
Capt. George A. ArInes, Lieut. Edward Il.
Clarke, Maj. Joseph b. Collins, Capt. James b.
Sinclair, Capt. p. w. Stanhopo, Capt. Thomas
B. Hunt. Maj. n. II. Mclean, Lieut., Lowell A.
Chamberlain, and Capt George T. Olmstead
They may be found in the Army Register and
they are, taken in connection with the Presi-
dents veto and the votes of many of the SEN
ators, rather odd reading +
This is very disingenuous. 1t may
also be found in the A Army Register that
all the cases referred to were disposed of
by President Arthur's predecessors but
the Posts uncandid article is de-
signed to convey tho impression that
they came before him for approval
or rejection. President Arthur's obiec-
tion to the unconstitutional encroach-
ment of congress upon tho executive
appointing power was filed in the first
case that came before him for action, and
that case chanced to be that Of Fit2-John
