McC.elIan,s Memoirs.

Sp6clul 10 Cuo UlODo.
New YORK, Nov. Sit is well known
that the manuscript of Gen. McClellan's
personal memoirs was burned, but it is
not SO generally known that he sue
ceeded in reproducing nearly the whole
of the work before his death. The book is
to be issued shortly, and it is said by those
who had conversed with the general on the
subject, that the publication of the memoirs
will arouse more controversy than Mr..
Depews recent letter on the Grant-Johnson
incident Gen. Fitz-John Porter said in
relation to the book to-day:
The personal recollections of Gen. McClel-
Ian were nearly all burned, but he succeeded
in reproducing them, and had he lived he
would have rewritten the whole book. The
papers and records were all saved, and only a
few weeks ago he was engaged on description
of the peninsuIar campaign. So far as the
bouk creating a stir I do not know,
but it will be different from the
Grant-Johnson controversy. Mr.. Depew's S
statements were not proven. In Gen..
McClellan's case every statement is conclu-
sively proven. The publication of the book
is necessary to Gen. McClellan's reputation,
and Furthermore it will set right many errors
in history and do away with many apprehen-

deemed settled by this election. The state
of New York identified as it is with the
business interests of the whole country,
anxious for peace and prosperity, liberal in
thought, and tolerant of the sentiments Of
others, can never be carried upon any issue
of sectional hate. Past animosities be-
tween the North and South have been for
ever buried aid cannot be resurrected. The
people are interesed in honest and economical
administration of public affairs. They
want good government everywhere in the
nation, state, city and town. They demand
home rule for cities, freedom from legisla-
tive diction or interferences. They desire
that the work of municipal reform should be
progressed to the end that corruption and dis
honesty may be uprooted. They insist that
public officials shall be held to a
strict accountability and genuine reform be
inaugurated. The Democratic party will
meet their demands and discharge them to
the satisfaction of the people. We have
not promised non-partisan administration,
the people do not expect it, and it is almost
impossible under the true theory of our in
stitutions. We will, however, give the
people honest, efficient and competent
servants devoted to the public veal.

a Chicago Incident.

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-Robert FL. Vickers,
who served as clerk Of election in the
seventh precinct of the First ward, has
addressed letter to the county clerk
stating that while judges were counting the
votes, Aid. William p. Whelan, of the
First ward. crowded into the polling place,
accompanied by two companions,
and that although requested to leave by
Vickers, became boisterous and refused to
do so. Whelan, or one of his companions,
picked up the bundle of afidavits, and al
though the fact was called to the attention
of the police, the latter refused to interfere.
Whelan and the two men soon afterwards
left, and Vickers claims that one of them
took the bundle OF afidavits. There were
1872 affidavits in all, many of them sworn
to by Whelan, certifying to the residence of
voters. The precinct Is in the business
district of the city, where, it is claimed,
many frauds have been perpetrated in the
past. No arrests have been made.
Eaton,s Appointment Condemned.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-General COM
ment is very harsh over D. B. Eaton's re-
tention on the civil service board. There
is reason to believe that he never wanted to
indicative of his desire to be reappointed.
His selection is a direct affront to Dr.. Greg
ory, who was highly esteemed. The lem
onade accounts of Eaton caused much dis
gust. 1t had been supposed that Eaton's
retention was due to George William Cur
tis' influence, but this is improb-
able, for the New York civil service
association is now investigating his con-
nection with the custom-house rulings. The
appointment is but temporary one, how
ever, and it is proposed to appoint perma-
nent successor to Judge ThOman in short
time. Mr. Eaton is only to serve on the
commission for few weeks to assist the
newly-appointed commissioners in finish.

he is greatly interested. 1t is not known
who will succeed Mr.. Eaton beyond the
fact that the new appointee is Repub-
lican in full sympathy with civil service re-
form.
