We print this morning the speech delivored Inst night in Indiana by Secrotary Schurz, It ts saylng much when wo eny that It will compare favorably with any ono of the very muny Intellectual and rhetorical productions with which he has graced the political litern- ture of the country, It 1s absolutely graphic in Its reeltals and its descriptions of the mat- tors Involved in the present election. It ls gontul throughout. There{s nothing but kind: ness oxpressad from beginning to end. Mis references to the candidates, and even to the parties, are freo fromm asperity or bitter- hess; every word Is addressed to the reason and good sense of tho American peaple, Tho speech can hardly be condensed with justlee to the reador, It is complete, and no part of It can be omitted, Ho begins by assuming that what the American people want is good government, ‘That Is the great end sought by oll, Refer. ring to the present Administration, of which he isa member, and discluiming any purpose to culogize It, he clalmed that thore was no falrenidnded eltizen who would not adinitthat it had nimed to give the country a goo Gov- ernment, and had beon fairly successful in go doing, It had maintained the publicfalth. Nor would {t be denled that the country at {hfs time was Ina goud and prosperous con- dition, Tho lection now nearly at hand was to determine whothor there should bo a change, Cortalnly there should beno change, unless, 11 making that change, there was some guarantee for the preservation and fine provement of what we enjoyod, ‘There were two parties with their plat forms and candidates before the people scek- ing popular support. Mr, Schurz asked the serlous and important question, Can the Democratio candidate, with the Demucratio party beh|nd him, be best depended on to preserve that which Is good in the presont ‘condition of things, and develop itin the dl- rectlon of liuprovement? To him it ap- peared that the Democratio party labors under historia aa well as constitutional diff. culties, Sineo the downfall of slavery, that party has been floundoring about, out of loge {cal connection with the questions of the day; lamoly lagging in the reur of events and requirements of the day; denouncing as im- possible what were already accomplished facts; with a'etrange incapacity to under jAtand™the: present ond ‘meusure the future; cominttting blunder after blunder, which at the moment of thelr birth It uniformly gtorl- fled as great strokes of policy, from the se- cession inovement In 1261 down to tha nom!-,| nation of Hancock in 1880, Some of these blunders he mentioned, In 18H, when the Confederacy was nently ox- hausted, the Democratic party solemmiy de- clared the War a failure whlch would havato be abandoned. «A few months later the Con- fedoracy collapsed nnd the restoration of the Union was assured. ‘Lo the Inst the Demo- cratic party resisted the formal abolition of slavery, oven after that abolition was 1 log- leal necessity. ‘The several nmendments, aa measures of reconstruction, wore opposed by the Democratic party, and ft declared them voids aud almost immediately had to declare thnt they had to be matntalned, So the Democratic party had resisted all efforts for specte-resumption; and then in 1876, when specte-payments wore practically Qn accomplished fact, the Democratic party demanded the repent of the act. Referring to tho question whether n de- serving General would be the kind of a President the country needs, and success- fully sulve the problems of statesmanship whieh are now before us, he gave a raptd sketch of the Importance of this polnt, and impressed pon his hearers that thore enn bo no greater difference than that between tho handling of troops ina eampatgn and the handling of the political forees of a grent people and the handling of ‘the political af- fairs of n great Goverment. Mr. Schurz gave a rapid but a: most com- prehensive statement of tho duties, and enres, and responsibilities of the President, and then draw a lively picture of Gen. Han- cock, or any other man trained exclusively in the walks of army Ife, placed tn the offico of President. Ho thonght it might be sald without exaggeration that Ina humdred cases to ong, by taking an old regular army oficer, who has nover been anything else, and putting him in the highest and most difleult political positlon, you spoll an excellent General in making a poor Presitont. Mr. Schurz reviewed tho life and per- plexities ot such a man In such an ofilce, and the Inevitable perplexities of any novice in politics, and he elalmed that the situation will be more intensified {f the an elected to that office have upon his back such 9 motley jrost as the Democratic party of to-lay, No one should fatl to read hls description of the wonderful mixture of elements which now composes the Democratic party, and also whut will be asked In enso that party have 1. victory, and what will be the condition of the soldier President whin confronted by that victortous party. The Democratic party fs pledged to reform of the Civil Service. ‘Thera may be soma men who desire it,—who belleve in It; but the Democratic party has bit ono iden of rofbrm- ing the Civil Service, and that {a the remoyal of tho 80,000 Republicans now tn office, and the appointment of as many Democrats In thelr places, The Democrats have been out. of office twenty years; the South Is clamor- ous for a share, aud Civil-Service reform In Doniocratic circles ts ombodied In the declar- ailon that to tho victors belong the spolls, Mr. Schurz portrayed in vivid light the dangors and tho perils of a sweeping change in the entira policy, financial, commercial, and legisiative, of the Government, . tho disturbance or disruption of all that was wise, safe, and goott inthe present, for no other purpose than to make room for hordes of men seeking office, and to bring Into power in the Government a party united on no pub- lio question whatever, and who will demand of the President that thelr vagaries, theories, and experiments shall bo ndopted and forced upon the count!

During recent years, however, many popular books and some text- books have been printed with the purposo of oxelting Interest and distributing Information: among young men In regard to government. theories aud public polloy, In the line of thls work n number of-gentlemen have or wanized a “Socloty for Polltieal, Education,” which has 8 commendable mission and prom- Ises to proceed upon a practical basis, ‘The leadors in Uily movement iro Messrs, David A.

It ts not required that members of the So- cloty shall subscribe to all these sentinenta, Sonio of thom, Indoad, may excite contro- versy. For instance, tho theory that "Jocal ‘Issues should bo indopendént of party” will only be necopted generally under a certain construction, If it be meant theroby that, In purely local clections, party afiliation should. give way to oplaion on the lucal issues In- volvecl or to the relative merits of candidates, the principle isons thatshould govern the In- telligent voter in tha absonce of somo over- shadowlnconslderation, If it were construed to mean that the National organization of parties ahoutd be abandoned altogethor in loca! eluctions, the ‘plan would not recetyo tho approval even of those who pride thems selves upon being Independent votera, Ex- perience bas proved on more than ono oc cusion that the restraints and responslbliities of party organization aro of yaluo to the peo- ple even In local administration, and that the absence thereof frequently leads to abuses in ofiivial Iifo that might otherwise ,linyvo been provented, So thoro Js room for wide dlffor- ence of opinion in the general statement that colus mado untnilted legul-tender must be of full valuo.as metal In the markets of tho work.” ‘Tho expression {s owhbiguous. It may not be meant to open up the sliver ques. tlon, as that coln fs “of full yaluo os metal"; but It would soem to do go, and In that case It night bettor have been omitted, for the teat of the question has proved the people of this country to be overwhelmingly In favor of the use of etlyer as woll os gold oa the basis of tho Ainerican monetary system, Wo understand, however, that the opin- fons we have quoted are not put forward as articles of faith, but ns suggestions of con- vietions upon which the largest number of all parties aro Ikely toagree, and upon which they can at all events proceed to develop the project of reading and discussion which tho organization of the Society Is designed to promote, Momborsh{p includes a pledge to rend dur- Ing tho present year the following volumes: Mr. Charles Nordhoft's * Polities for Young: Americans’; Aloxander Johnson's “Iilstory of American Polittes": Prof. Ferry's “ In- troduction to Polltieal Economy; and Gra- han MeAdgnv’s “ Alphabet of Finance.” Theso volumes enn bo procured from the publishers and retal! book-deslers, but are rangements have also been made to vttblish them ina uniform edition as a“ Library of Political Information,” and at a ‘reduced price. The list seems to have — been well’ selected, and without regard to tho interests of any party or any one publisher. For.tho noxt year anothor list will bo pre pared, and for those who desire to taku a more extended course of reading tho Society lias issued a amall pamphlet for five conts containing a Hstof books recommended by Prof, Sumner tn his "Pollttcal Economy and Political Sctonce.” It is Intonded to publish cheap vamnphiets dn practlenl toples of tho time, A revision of Mr. Nichol's pamphlet on “Tlonest Money” fs in press, and Mr. George William Curtis has promised an essay of the principles and needs of Civil- Service reform, The offices of tho Socloty are with R.

Such improvement will not come from tho active, working pollticlans,—the officeholders and the ofticeseckers,—who are selfishly inter- ested fn malntaining tho traditional or ha- bitual party nflliiation of thelr respective friends of constituencies. It must cone from imen who look upon government and polities as a selence, ant who would have evory citizen possessed of the information and the habit necessury to decide and act with parties according to his jnrdgment of thelr records, their intentions, thelr useful- noss, and tholr attitude in regard to ruling issues. HANCOCK AS A OIVIL RULER. In the speech delivered at Burlington, In, by Mr. Storrs, whieh will be found in Tre Tribune this morning, is a general review of all the questions nnd'points at Iasue butween tha Republican and Democratic parties, tho whole speech being a valuable record of the arguments dnd the policles on both sides, We ask especial attention, however, to that part of the apeech which revtows the record of Gen. Hancock, and on which the Demo- oratly party lays so much stress, ob Mluatrat- ing Hancock’s dovotion to civil liberty and tho obedienca duo to civil government, After tho close of the Warin 1805 Gon. Shor Idan was appointed to the command of the Departinent of tho Gulf, Including the States of Louisiana and Texas, ‘There was than no elvil governinent In thoseStates, exeopt such ng held over from tho old Rebel organization.

Two hundred. of thom were bru- tatly and cowardly murdered by tho’ pollee and tho mob, Andrew Johnson eventuatly took sides with the mob, justified the massa- ere, nud never attempted to punish any con- cerned in ft, and in the meantime recog: nized the old Rebel organizations as Pro- vistonal Governments, To put an cn to these proceedings Con- gress In March, 1867, passed tho first Recon- struction act. This act declared that no legal State Governinent or adequate protection for Ife and property thon oxisted In Louisiana, and the othor Rebel States, nnd, te enforce good order in such States wutll legal and republican. rulo could bo established, these States were divided Juto military districts, Tho act dofined the duty and powers of the commanders of theso districts, It also pro- vided for tho enrollment, registration, and qualifications of voters, and also for admitting negrovs to tho right of jury trials. Gen. Sheridan proceeded at once to execute this law of Congress, and in 80 do- ing greatly displeased Presideat Johnson, ant finally Johnson, againat Grant’s protests, removed Shorldan. This was in August, 180% Later In the year ho apppoluted Hancock 4 Shoridan’s successor, and on tho arrival of Hanvock at Now Orleans he Issued Als furnous order, which had been prepared for him at Washington, and this order con- tains the onttre oMciu! record of the Demo- erntle eatulidate for President, At that tine thero was no logul civil government of any kind in Lowislana, It had all been declared illegal and set aside, Tho supreme and para- mount law was the not of Congress, which had placed the Insurrectionary district undor’ & Military Governor until wcivil Btate Gov ernmant could be established by the people of tho State, That act of Congress was tho solo law for the government of the military district which Gen, Hancock was appointed tocommand, In his order ho ostentatlously declarad his contempt for the law of Con- gress, and proclalmed; ‘Tho Gonoral commanding 1s gratified to learn that peuce and quict rolyn ih this dopartmont, twill bo hia purpowo to preserve this oons dition of thingy, Ag a tuenius to this great end he regards thu maintenance of the civil authori- tles in the faithful exeuution of tha liwa as the most oficient under tho clroumstances.

Davenport before tho Committea ap- polnted by the Senate to Investigate the charges of election frauds committed under Democratle auspices ts full of startling de- velopments, that ought to appeal strongly to every man who Is in favor of honest elections and of preserving the purity of the ballot-box. His stutemonts. show that many persons who held certifieates of naturallza- tion had never declared their intentions, nor sworn to the appiteations which appeared on file in Court, Others were not asked whether they lind done so or ‘not, and great numbers wore never asked about their ago at all. They wero naturalized In squads. On dno day Judge Barnard alone naturalized 2,515, and on the same day, in tho Superior Court, 2,077 were put through this fraudulent proc- eds, making 4,620 for theday! Nearly 40,000 persons voted in the election of 1883 upon these fraudulent naturalization papers, the others voting In various counties In New York State, and In New Jersey, Connecttent; and in Pennsylvania. In answer to nques- tion how many naturallzation papers bearing: the seal of the Court had been isswted In ox- ecss of the number upon the records of the Court, ho replied: “ About 18,000, ‘The Su- pramoe Court alone issued 89,000 cortitied Dlanks, of which 18,824 were used. The papers: woro Issued in blank with no name to thom.’ The law requires that tho, testhnony showing five years’ residence must be taken In open Court by an oral exanination of tho witness, previously prepared nMidavits not being in evidenco, and yet, says Mr. Davenport, “In thesa cases in 186810 record was taken by the Court. On the ‘minutes of the Supreme Court six naines appeared during the month of Ootobur up to Oct. U, On the next day the Court adjourned, and not allne appeared on the minutes in regard to the other 18,818 persons.? In another partof his testimony Mr, Davenport suys: “Of the papers so- cured In 1863 and held by voters in 1878, nbout per cent were assumed to be Democratic and 25 per cent Republican, but all the naturalization papers isaned in 1868 were to Democratic applicants, with tho exception of about 2,800, In which eases ‘the natu. ralization process was honestly conducted in the Court of Common Plons,” Fraud was piled upon fraud, Falso naturalization was not the only form of Damoerntie, rascality, By ropeating alone, 25,000 fraudulent votes wore cast in the olection of 1868, and oyory scoundrel arrested for flegal yotlng wis discharged by Judza MeCunn, As Mr, Day- ennort expressed it—nnd it fs a mntter of public notoriety, never questioncd,—that elec- tion was carried by repeating, falso votlug, falso swearing, false canvassing, false nat- uralization, falsehood throughout, alded with monoy and with tho: power of a Crimi- nal’ Bench upon which sat Democratic Judges whose corruption and dishonesty iknew'no Hits. That is the way In which the Republican majority in the Stute of New York was overcome, and that fs tho way it will be overcome noxt fall unless some check ts placed upon tho frauds prasticed in Now York City, ‘Theso outrageous frauds upon the ballot- box havo been Investignted beforo this, and they hnve been Drought homo so clearly to tho door of the Démoorntia party that no ono. hins over questioned thelr paternity, And yet this Is the party that fs continually hawl- ing for reform and demanding honest clec- tions In tts platforms and party orguns! If tho Democratio party fs in favor of honest elections, why does It oppose, tooth and nal, every attempt to leglatnte for such n result and to surround the ballot-boxes with every possible safeguard? If it {8 in favor of hon- estaloctions, why does It seek to vitlate every Jaw ond atatute that guards the ballot-box uguinat fraud ? If ft fs In favor of honest elec- tlons, how is it that It poll 40,000 Iicgal votes in Now York Citys that it has been convicted of repented frauds In Chicago, in Clnoinnati,- and In othor Northorn oltids; that It has col- onfzéd Indiann and Now Jeravy with Mlogal voters? How ta it that 1¢ openly etulfs tho ballot-boxes In the Southern States with thousands of tlasuc-papor ballota, making no protense of concoulment? How Is it that In States known to havo large Nopublican ma- Jorities, when no denial of it 1a made avenby thelr own partyin those States, thoy havo provented tho Ropihlican vote from being cast, by force, turroriam, “bulldozing, ostra- clam, brutality, and every concelyablo form of fraud? Is this what thoy concelye to be advocating honest elections? Suppose that tha, Republican party should adopt tho same ‘methods of bulldozing and ballot-box stufllng, Supposo that thoy should turn out thonsands upon thousinds of falso naturalization papers, poll thousnnda upon thousands of jilegal and unregistered Votes, oppose every jneasute for preserving the purity of the ballot-box, and nullity every law that preserves the righté of the people In elections, how long would it be be- fore the Government: would be utterly de- stroyed? How long would ft be before our whole eloctive syste would be nullified and both Government and soclety be plunged into chaos? How long would it bo before civil war would lead to despotism? The startling facts developed by this Inveatlgatlon should be a warning to the American: people It may not bo that tha terroriam and frauda fu | the Bolid South: can be prevented at the next'| olection, but they can-ot lenst vemand that’ olcetions shall bo honest in the North, and ‘that the outrageous frauds heretofory prac- ced In Now York and othor Northern oities shall not be repeated again. ‘The demand of the Damoerntio party for honest olections Is hollow, speclous, impudent clamor to cover up its own frauds.
