Why Not Let the Dead Past Bury Its
Dead?


lBy telegraph to the coRD-UNIoN.
PITTsBURG, December 2d.-1n his recent
letter to the Boston Herald, ex-Secretary
Chandler said: After the Presidential
election the Chairman of the National
Committee was indisereet enough, in a
published interview, to impute to President
Arthur and members of his Cabinet a
want of fidelity and zeal in the canvass.
This charge was baseless, and was SO de-
clared by me at the time. All possible and
appropriate assistance was rendered. 1t
should not have been expected that We
should supersede the Chairman or do his
work, although it would have been better
if some one had done So"
A reporter for the Pittsburg Commercial
Gazette called upon B. F. Jones, Chairman
of the National Committee, and asked him
what he had to say in reply to this para
graph. Jones said 1.-THE statements
made by Inc in the interview with Chan
to make, and know now, as l then knew
them. to be true. The purport of these
statements was that if Arthur and
his Cabinet, with few exceptions,
had been as loyal to Blaine
as Blaine would have been to Arthur, had
the latter been nominated, Blaine would
have been President. So far as Chandler S
reference to me personally is concerned, l
do not feel called upon to defend myself.
have no taste, nor do l see any present
reason for a discussion of political
methods with one whose plans and pro-
posals during the brief intercourse l had
with him in the campaign of 1884, were
not such as to commend him to those hay-
ing the success of the Republican party at
heart. His criticisms at that time of men
then most prominent in the party do not
seem to me quite consistent with his pres
ent expressions of regret in regard to the
bad feeling between public men. l would
not like to feel called upon to make public
the facts upon which my opinion ofChand-
Ter is based"

of everything English. His degenerate
lorviship is silly. The Americans do not
entertain hatreds by nationality. They
do not entertain hatred of any class, if we
except the European scum that plots An
archist murders and dynamite revolutions
in the beer cellars of Chicago, and the
class of lordships that traffic in female
virtue. The real reason Lord Lonsdale
failed with his show woman was because
of the discriminating judgment of the
American people. With an actress upon
the stage she is to them there upon her
merits, and not to be estimated as to
ability by the questionable relation she
may sustain to some addle-pate whose
great grandfather happened to wear spur
in battle There is no country under the
sun freer from the prejudiees that are the
outgrowth of nationality than America.
We have never heard yet of case since
the Macready riot in Astor place, where
the cry was raised against an artist because
he was of this or that land. We are
cosmopolites, in a sense; all the world is
our oyster. We pick and choose from the
art, song, architecture and drama of all
creation. We take what comes to US for
its face value until we know what of alloy
debases it, and knowing, have the courage
to declare 1t. Dickens found that out.
Thackeray discovered it. Dean Stanley
pronounced it our virtue; Charles Kean
paid it high tribute; Irving challenged
it without demur, and won our respect and
his own success by bowling to it. All down
the line of visiting actors and poets and
scholars, those who have come upon their
individual merits, and not impugned our
motives in judgment, Jared best at our
hands. But there is not an instance on
record of imported self-assurance and in
flated foreign self-esteem having had fav-
orable, or even merciful, judgment at the
bar of American public opinion. Merit
Americans will always acknowledge
worthiness and modesty they will
honor, but pretentious ittleness and pomp
Gus ignorance they abhor, whether Eng
fish, French or American.

MR.. MoNTAGUE's PLAN.

Mr.. Montague, of San Francisco, pro-
poses a plan to secure greater rapidity
and guard against frauds in the counting
of election ballots. His scheme is to have
the ballot-boxes at the closing of the polls
taken to large hall, in which is to be
built huge burglar-proof vault. Here
the Mayor is to organize a large clerical
force that will at once proceed to count
the ballots in the presence Of as many
people as the hall will accommodate. 1t
will not work. While it is meritorious, so
far as it goes, that it falls short of COM
pleteness works the defeat of the plan
And these are the objections that suggest
themselves: 1t would be wholly impracti-
cable in small cities and towns, for obvious
reasons. Any reform that omits them
proceeds upon false premises. Frauds are
as readily committed in interior precincts
as in those of the metropolis; and so far
as that is concerned, are not infrequent.
The plan presupposes honesty in the con-
duct of the election up to the closing of
the polls. We pointed out the other day
how easy it is, under our present system,
to defeat the will of the voter before his
very eyes in the mere act of depositing the
ballot We also made it clear how corrup-
ton is matter of ease by collision be-
tween election officers and clerks, since the
first-named have the sole power to appoint
and to dismiss the latter The counting of
all the ballots in one room at different ia
bles would occasion confusion and augment
liability to err. The chief value of Mr.
Montague's plan is to be found in sub
shutting an independent and distinct
Board of canvass for the precinct Boards
of election, and the removal of the can
wasting Board from precinct influences. In
San Francisco it is possible the scheme
might be made practicable, but outside of
the metropolis it could not be made apple
