The Executive committee of the 7th

I ntion to assemble in Rome on the 18th

juan knows that our form of go vernment

abitaat, over tweuty-one years of age
as a perfect right to occupy any office

people not recognized by law,. From

Ihcy can and will do so long as the
masses remain at home and take no in

idvoeate a fight between the poor and

mite and go hand in hand to the con
eation and nominate good men regard
ess of his monied influence. By doing
i.is we preserve the ancient forms of our
government, and. will keep our institu
tions and offices pure. But if we hang
ack and leave everything to the rings,
mmbinations and political tricksters,
jwe cannot, with any degree of certainty,
expect to retain that parity in our offices,
{for which our poople so much desire*and
which at one time was the boast of Amer
icans.
Garfield’s Letter.
; Mr. Garfield’s letter of acceptance is
chiefly noticeable for the lack of that
gush of brilliant promises as to civil-ser
vice reform which distinguished tbe let
ter of Mr. Hayes, of date July 8, 1876.
Mr. Garfield carefully avoids the di
dactic utterances of Mr. Hayes, and
points his observations with a simple re
commendation that the tenure-of-office
lew shall be modified, and that appoint
ments he made from the whole country
with reference to fitness. Mr. Garfield
evidently is afraid of tlus subject, and he
is extremely cautious, knowing the an
tipathy of his party toward it—*u an
tipathy, indeed, which caused the strik
ing out of the Chicago platform of *ecer
a paragraphs touching the civil service
which had been injected by some Massa
> usetts men. There is not much to Oe
expee’ed from Garfield in thi*'direction,
such reform being obnoxious to hi* par
ty.
Hr. Garfiled repeats the usual store-
typed utterances of his party about the
“Nation,” “equal rights,” ‘‘freedom of
election,” etc., and renews the old
charges againstthe Southern people with
reference to elections. All this from a
candidate whose party leaders are at this
moment devising a plan to disfranchise
the Democratic voters in eighteen States
and to make the presiding officer of the
Senate usurp the functions of the two
Houses of Congress, is palpably absurd,
taken in connection with the systematic
disfranchisement process used by the
Republicans for eight or nineyeais after
the war in the Southern States and the
great political crime of 1876, in which
lie, himself, played such an important
part as a promoter of fraud and
flagrant violation of the rights of citizens.
Mr. Garfield’s refei^nee #<> the Con
stitution as the “supreme law of the
land” is- not happy, since his own party
has warred against that “supreme law
ny passing law* in violation of >ts pro
visions and by coming to the front as tlie
party of centralization in defiance of the
constitutional limitations of the author
ity of the General Government and the
constitutional guarantees as to the re
served powers- of the States. Hie Con
stitution is the supreme law of the lartd,
together with the laws made in accor
'dance therewith, but Mr. Garfield’s par
ty has never recognized that supreme
law.. Ili.s utterance on that subject are
as hypocritical as those of Mr. Ilayes.
On the financial question there was
not much to say, since the Republican
party has largely abandoned its errone
ous fiscal ideas and bus begun to adopt
the time-honored Democratic views as to
what constitutes a sound! currency.
Mr. Garfield has been compelled to
[‘abandon his former position on the Chi
nese question, and he seems to have-for
gotten his votes against the bill restrict
ing Mongolian immigration. He now
says it ought to be restricted. His re
cordon that subject is painfully weak,
as it is m others mattecs-. liis endorse
ment of Mississippi liver improvement
does hiur credit, hut he has taken that
position in several speeches in congress.
The assertion ek-eted he will
.“enforce the laws” so that equal rights
;shall be enjoved*by all, is a pledge which
it is expected every President shall carry
out to the letter. No Republican*Presi
dent has ever done it, and it is not likely
that, if Garfield is elected, he will do
it. Tile-aim af Republican administra
tions has been to enforce unconstitution
al laws so as to trample on the rights of
the opposition party, treat them as “pub
lic enemies” and seek to keep the Repub
lican party in power. Garfield means
’ that he will be the tool of his party in
this-regard, tier his course in 1876 de
monstrated bis utter servility to revolu
tionary party dictation..
The Utter bus the merit of brevity.

A Personal Sketch.
A volume of camp and field anecdotes
might he written illustrative of the man,
but it i needed to understand him. Gen.
Hancock’s personal characteristics might
almost be drawn from the foregoing sim
ple record of his life. He appears the
very beau ideal of the soldier. His fig
ure is tall and finely shaped. His eye
is clear, bine, inquiring, benignant in
repose, but. inspiring in danger and earn
estness. In manners, no man ever sur
passed him. He is the embodiment ol
knightly courtesy. To hw subordinates
he was kindliness itself. He put one at
his ease, gave confidence—made a man
think better of himself—made him think
that he amounted to move than lie sus
pected. This was one of the secrets ol
Hancock's success on the field. Han
cock’s reproof, on the other hand, was
not a thing to lie wished for twice. He
was severe hi his requirements, and.some
times made his colonels and generals
wish they were anywhere but under tin
plain severity of his talk. Yet after the
lessen was taught, the wound was healed
by some a liy and so gra
cious, tint the felt at last
that he had gained by the transaction
Thus he was to his subordinates. VVhai
he was to liis supervisors is a matter ct
history. No mover loyal fexeewtor oror
ders ever bestrode a horse.
This sketch cannot bettev tdosc than
with the language of first di
vision commander, that splendid veteran
and stubborn fighter, who was hw v-seli
generally in hot water with hi*
superiors, Maj. Gen. “Baitly” 84nith.
Said the latter of Hancock-: “He was
the roost loyal subordinate I ever knew.
He always tr : ei? to early out his orders
in tlieir spirit as well to the letter, and
whatever lie' might think o-f them, when
he received them they beiramc his own
and a part and parcel of himself/'
Hon. William 81. Engliiii
William 11. English is by birth an In
diana man, having first beheld the light
in Scott county of that State, on Aug.
27, 1822. He was liberally educated,
passing three years at tW university ol
South Hanyaer. He studied law anti
was admitted to the bar, beginning the
practice of law in 1846, though much of
his time was devoted to agriculture.
Previous to this he had entered into po
litical life as a member of the grand old
Democratic party. lie was clerk of the
Indiana State House of Representatives
in- IS-Fd an l from 1814 to was con
nected with the treasury department; was
clerk of the Indiana (. nstimtional < Con
vention in 1850; Was elected to-the Leg
islature in 1851, serving as Speaker, and
was elected to Thirty-tlliid Congress as
a Democrat, by a vote of 8,654 to 7,064;
was re-elected to the Thirty-fourth Con
gress by a-vote of 8,1)41 to 8,345. Wa.-
again re-elected-I<> the-Thirty-fifth Con
gress by a vote of 10,T7 to 7,927 and
was a fourth time chosen to that office
by a vote of 9,293 to 7.434 for his for
mer competitor, Wilson. Mr. English
is quite wealthy and possesses unbound
ed popularity in his own State and
throughout the Wc4. His candidacy
will strengthen the party in Illinois,
where the splendid State ticket headed
by Tturnbul has already struck terror
among the Republicans.
