Blast from a Mugwump.

Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Carl Schurz en-
tered the political campaign yesterday with
long letter printed in the Post and adj
dressed to Alfred T. White, one of the
Mugwump leaders of Brooklyn, replying to
the latterS question as to the views of Mr..
SchurZ on the present situation in this
state. Mr.. Schurz administers q caustic
rebuke to Gov. Hill as a partisan of the
worst type, and says he prefers Mr.. Daven-
port for governor, Notwithstanding the fact
tnat he also is a partisan, because he
represents the best tendencies of his party.
Mr.. SchurZ continues:
We have president who is honestly and
earnestly endeavoring to carry out certain re-
forms of the highest Importance. In this en-
deaVor he is embarrassed and obStructed by a
very active element in his own party, which
insists upon the distribution of the public
Offices as spoils, upon the organization Of
public service. and a party machine, and
upon breaking down whatever stands in the
way in the shape of laws or regulations or
adopted methods and practice. OF this ele-
ment Mr.. Hill is a recognized representative.
Now, it is clear, that if Mr.. Hill, as a repre-
sentative anti-reform man, is this year de-
feated in this important state of Now York,
in which last year another Democratic candi-
cate was victorious as represent
ative reformer. the anti-reform ele-
ment, which seeks to battle the
presidents efforts, will thereby be materially
weakened and the cause OF reform will gain
new strength. Mr.. Hill ought, therefore, to be
defeated. But we are told that President
Cleveland himself is going to vote for the
Democratic candidates, MIR. Hill included.
This does not change the nature of the case
in the least. That he is in very difficult
situation we all know. 1t is his privilege to
regulate his relations with his party in his
own way, and it is our business as friends of
reform to do our duty to our cause in our
way. Itis gratifying and a significant fact
that the Independents in this state who cut
loose from their party connections to support
Mr.. Cleveland for the presidency this year,
without any precious consultation, simply
obeying common impulse, recognize their
duty upon the same principle to support Mr..
Davenport for the governorship.

One of the very best laws ever passed by Territorial Legislature was passed by the late distinguished, amidst all the tormoil and trickery through which it is reputed to have passed. It is humane and Christian law for the relief of unprotected children and those not properly cared for by inhu- man parents and those who are being brought up in houses of ill-fame.
