VISITORS TO HARRISON.
Views of Two Southerners as to His
Policy in the South.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 4.-Among the visi-
tors to Gen. Harrison to-day were Judge
Simrall, ex-chief justice of Mississippi
under the administration Of Gov. Alcorn,
and Judge Assay, ex-treasurer of the state
of Mississippi. They both came to talk
over the southern situation. They believe
that Gen. Harrison Will greatly strengthen
the Republican party in the sout
if he dis ributes federal Offices among
business men who have the esteem Of
their fellow citizens, instead of appointing
unpopular and distrusted negroes and white
men merely because they are republicans.
If acceptable men are not available they
think that women of irreproachable char
acter and business ability should be ap-
pointed. Their interview with tho Presi-
dent was very satisfactory, and they think
that his administration will please the
southern people. Like nearly all tho south
ern visitors they favor an extra session Of
congress and early congressional investiga-
tion into the a legged ballot-box frauds

only choice of voting for a bogus
democrat or a fusion republican.
That the office seeking dIsorganizers
of the republican party are principal
ly those who have made war upon the
nominations of the administration at
Washington is not to be denied.
True, there are here and there
men to be found who remon-
strated against these nominations
on higher grounds, but they are
few in number. TO these the LIGHT
would say: The administration at
Washington has done its best endeav-
ors to make good and wholesome APP
pointments to public office. The mis-
representations of interested men as
well as the representations of honest
men have no doubt at times been list
ened to, but the endeavor has been to
do right and put good men in office.
Our remedy is not in denouncing these
appointments, but in recognizing the
party each in his own section, so as to
put the unworthy men in the back
ground and keeping them there ST.
lence them so that their voices cannot
be heard in the national capital. If we
cannot clean our own camps, we can
not expect the administration at
Washington to do so. If we make
standard-bearers of those whom we
denounce, we cannot blame the adj
at Washington for ac-
cepting in good faith those whom we
have put to the front, and endorsing
them accordingly. The LIGHT cannot
be used for creating a feeling of dis
affection against the administra-
ton at Washington, nor in spreading
and jealousy at home. The
LIGHT has its personal opinions about
in Texas, but it accepts
the act of the government in making
the appointments as final until the |
of the appointees is demon
strated. 1t urges, however, closing
up of the ranks, reorganization of
the party, wedding out of those who
perpetually work against close party |
nominations and a preparation tor
square work. Let this be done and |
the party in Texas will be in posi-
ton to make itself heard at Washing
ton in such way as to command re-
spect and insure an attentive hearing.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1880.
REPUBLICAN, WRANGLING.

The LIGHT has received letters re-
monstrating against nearly all the
appointments to office that have been
made in southern and southwestern
Texas since the incoming of the pres
ent administration. The appoint
ments of E. H. Terrell as minister to
Belgium and of r. M. Moore as spe-
cial treasury inspector are about the
only exceptions. From the appoint
ment of Quincy at Galveston to that
of Rentfro at Brownsville the an
nouncement OF an appointment seems
to be the signal for an attack upon
the appointee, and the LIGHT has
been looked to to give expression
to this discomfort. This the
LIGHT has steadily refused to do,
not deeming it the province
of a sound republican journal to
furnish democratic ammunition in
this way. There does not appear to be
be any very general or wide spread
discomfort with the appointments,
but in every case there appears to
have been some disappointed candi-
dates, or some person seeking ap-
pointment to subordinate positions
under the successful candidate who
have not secured them, or some who
complain of violeted pledges on his
part in making these subordinate
appointments, hence the growl. The
LIGHT views this condition of things
as one ABSOLUTELY destructive of re-
publican harmony and one which pre-
cludes all possibility of party growth,
ifpersisted in. 1t is utterly impossible
that the administration at Wash
ington should enter into the local feel
ings of any community in this matter
OF appointment to office, beyond the
fact ofascertaining the candidates. fit

with the republican party in matters
of policy. To say that a man is not a
true republican because he has not
taken active part in the political quar-.
rels of his section is carrying the mat,

icanism of Texas falls far short of its
