wife aud MIS-. Letter Of Chicago and her
daughters. The oath of Office was administered
in the postmaster generals private Office by
Justice Field of the supreme court, who had
been selected to induct all the members Of
the cabinet into their official positions. In
doing this, Judge Lawrence of the postofice
department, who has sworn in about twenty
four postmaster generals, was neglected. He

ARTHUR'S BEST FRIEND
Says That Tilden is Guiding the Demo-

Says That Tilden is Guiding the Demo-
cratic Ship of State.
Special to the Globe.
New YORK, March 7.-Congressman Bur-
leigh, the nearest friend of President Arthur,
is wealthy lumberman at Whitehall. It is
said his election costs him from $4,000 to
$4,000 every two years, and that he spends
twice as much in politics in presidential
years. He is natural politician and one of
the best posted men in the country.
He said to-day: ssIt is wonderful
that the hand should be Clevelands
but the brain Tildeu's that is shaping the ad-
ministration. That little old dried up man
at Greystone, who ought to be saying his
prayers and consulting his Bible, with both
feet in the grave, is master of Cleveland and
of the Democratic party. Cleveland's nomi-
nation was settled upon in room in the
Fifth Avenue hotel between William c.
Whitney, H. o. Thompson and Smith M.
Weed. 1t took all night to convince
Weed that Cleveland was the man.
The next day he went up to Albany,
and within forty-eight hours the old
the country was on the quiver and jump for
Cleveland. The cabinet was made up that
Sunday at Greystone after the Victoria hotel
conference. They did not dare to let it go
out then but held it back to the last. Man
ming, Weed, Scott and Whitney were there
that day. ''Tilden is the brainest schemer
in his party 1 think he miscalculated on
the silver question. The resolution of Mills
of Texas that the house would not take part
in the Inauguration was slap from the
silver men at Cleveland. Mills, Reagan,
and nearly all the Texas members were
profanely angry when they read Cleveland's
silver letter. Hewitt and his friends in New
York are mad about Manning going into the
cabinet, but Cleveland has foreign missions
and commissionerships to use to appease
them. He may send Cooper to London for
instance.
Mr.. Burleigh says of Speaker Carlisle He
was the best speaker ever saw. The fairest
man l have ever known in the chair.

SMALL BUSINESS,

The New York Times is still joining
hands with the Sun in attempts, some
times elaborate, but always cheap aud
petty, to belittle eX-President Hayes.
la doing this it illustrates anew the
truth of the old adage, EXTREMES
meet" for the Sun spent eight years
after the electoral commission did its
work in shouting .'Fraud," while the
Times led its party in 1876 Z in claim
ing the election of Mr.. Hayes and in
sisting that he should be seated. He
was seated, and rightfully so, and he
had the strength, and uprightness OF
character and courage of purpose to
begin the work of administrative re
form which sixteen years of civil war
and political upheaval had made nee
essary. TWAS his clean handed course
in the White House for four years
which made Garfield's election possible
in 1880, and history will give him the
need which is his due, no matter how
persistently mean-minded men of to-
day try to cast ridicule upon him.

OFFENSIVE PARTISANsHIP.

A partisan is a dangerous character.
He should never he allowed in any
federal office. Republican and parti
san are Synonymous words. All re-
puhlicans are partisans, therefore they
must be removed from office. OF course
no partisans vii! be selected to fill
their places. That loud mOuthed, po-
litical ranter, Gen. Wells, must step
down and out, so that the gentle Mr..
Smalley, the man never connected with
politics as II partisan, may have his
place. If Smalley had only been IL
member of II campaign club or had
served on some partisan committee or
i'll some way shown his cOlors at the
last election there might have been
some chance for Wells to have held his
place until his commission had expired,
but owing to the unObtrusiveness of
Smalley, his studiOus removal from
every thing that could leave the smell
of partisanship about his garments, he
has fitted himself for the sublime hon
or which Wells must abdicate. The
editor of the Argus, too, is another of
the quiet kind which have escaped the
opprobrious name of partisan. All
through the presidential campaign it
will be remembered his utterances
were so guarded that it was almost
doubtful if he had any politics at all.
Never lisp which could by any means
be construed into a meaning political,
no speeches in honor OF the candidates,
no giving of advice, no consultation
with party managers. No, the Argus
editor is no partisan, and therefore,
because he has SO studiously avoided
any allusion to political matters either
in public or private, he shall have the
Montpelier postotfiee for his reward.
What II farce this cry of offensive par
tisanship is anyway Newport Ex-

WHAT A BLAINE PAPER THINKS NOW.
The nomination of Mr. Blaine was a
palpable mistake" 1t was manifest
when made. Either Sherman or Lo-

Blaine's headstrong friends, and the
mugwumps, gave the republicans
lesson that will probably he needed in
1888. Blaine did far better than we
thought he would, but was beaten new
ertheless. The conventions of 1876
and 1880 ought 10 have been admoni-
tiOns To the republican party ia 1884,
but they were not accepted as such, |
and the result Is recorded. Blaine
was rejected by both those cOnven- !

Gen. Grants Last Speech.

On the 81 and 4th of August last the
chaplains of the Northern and Southern
armies in the rebellion gathered in
conv enti0n at Ocean Grove. The pro-
fessed object of this meeting, as ex-
pressed by a delegate, was ''to help
Danish that sectional bitterness which
clusters around the words Yankee and
rebel" On the afternoon of the sec
Ond day, two men were noticed leav-
ing the Arlington Hotel. One was i'm
mediately recognized as George ii.
Stuart of Philadelphia, under whose
direction the convention was held.
Leaning on his arm and supporting
himself at the same time with IL wood
en- crutch, the other figure moved slow
ly and painfully along. This was Cen
eral Grant. But few recognized him
as he passed slowly into the auditori-
um office, SO much had he changed
since his visit to Ocean Grove only Il
year before. Half an hour afterward
beneath the roof of the auditorium was
wedged a solid mass of people. The
aisles seemed more densely packed
than the seats, and far off beyond the
furthermOst benches, up to the white
square of tents beyond, thousands
stood on tiptOe to catch the first
glimpse of the hero. AS the bell in
the tower was ringing, General Grant,
still leaning on the arm of Mr.. Stuart,
and still painfully using the crutch,
hObbled down the steps OF the plat
form and took Il seat in the very front
The $1,000 people sprang to their feet,
cheered, shouted, and waved handker
chiefs until the clang OF the big bell in
the tower above their heads was lost
for many minutes in the applauding
roar. There was IA moments lull.
Then gray haired gentleman in the
audience proposed ''three cheers for u.
5. Grant" and the applause was even
more prolonged and louder than he
fore. Mr.. Stuart said few words OF
heartfelt compliment and cOngratnla-
ton, and after him Rev. A. j. Palmer
of New York, who enlisted ut the age
. f ii and served all through the war,
made an address of welcome, closing
as follows: 1.-The man intlexibie in
peace, invincible in war. calm in de
feat, maguanimOns in victory IA
man, | say, can never be belittled or
disgraced 10y the sharks and the sharp
ers of Wall street"
When the cheers, which continued
for more than five minutes. had at last
Gen. Grant came forward,
and resting painfully on his crntch
said in Il low voice, which, however,
could be heard distinctly in the death
like hush: IAN hour ago ! might have
made "A speech, but now | am almost
afraid To try. l know as few can of the
good these chaplains have done.

WONT THROW AWAY ITS STRONG MEN.
Those are strong and true words
about Senator Edmnnds quoted else
where in this paper from Hon. John
w, Stewart, member of congress from
the First district. The Free Press says,
editorially, that Mr.. Stewart is not the
only one among the gentlemen alleged
to have senatorial aspirations who hold
the same views; and the same paper
adds "Nor do we find many republi-
cans anywhere who think that the stu
alton is now, or is likely to be, one in
which the republican party can afford
To throw over it's strongest men. -

A DANGER WHICH DOES NOT EXIST.

tertained the idea of throwing Senator

publican success, i'll spirit Of petty

out for Mr.. Edmunds' throat. Neither
the people of Vermont nor the republi-
