The victory taken in connection with the results of a num- ber of other municipal elec- tions in various parts of the country is interesting in showing the tendency toward the dis- integration of parties when local mat- ters call for prompt and decided ac- tion on the part of voters and tax pay- ers. Two years ago Gieneral Garfield had 21,000 majority in Philadelphia. Last woek the reform independent ticket rolled up 17,000 majority. The Philadelphia Press says that there are {rom 35,000 ta.40,000 republican votes in Philadelphis which call for some- thing more than a mere republican Iabel, and demand that it shall stand for good quality. They are true and earnest republicans—republicans be- cause they believe that republicanism at its best is best for the coun- try—and they insist that republican- ism shall come up to its own just standard. They aze partisans because they are patriots, and if patriotism re- quires that they shall be less partisans they will follow its dictates.

Chicago Herald, A few days ago, in view of the dis- sensiors in the Democratic party, The New York Sun suggested the nomina- tion of the Hon. Abram .8, Hewitt as a compromise candidate of that party for Governor, This might or might not have been a wise suggestion in the interest of party peace. But after all, The Truth, a Democratic newspapor of some notoriety in the city of New York, was moved to make a few re. marks on the subject. Here is a sample of its sentiments: We ave firmly convinced that Mx, Hewitt neyer stole anything; that he never would, under any tem, tation, steal anything, and that in all ordi- nary circumstances he could be relied | chosen upon to tell the truth, the whole * * But Mr. Hewitt, neverthe leas, is not au available candidate for | fol Governor or for any other position in the gift of the people and representa- tive of the people, until he purges his consaience and discharges his memory of one burdensomo secret. Less than sixteen months ago an em- Ehntiu stigma was placed upon Abram . Hewitt from the bench of the supreme eourt of this atato, Tn the trial of Kenward “.uin for tha libel of General Qarfiglc, turough & com- ment ou the "Morey letter, alleged to have heen forged by him, Mr, flowm appeared as a witness, declaring most positively his then and previous con- viction that the signature to the letter was vumo. After chat trial was over, Mr, Hewitt became posscased of cortain information concerning it. That information belongsto the public by right, yet Mr. Hewitt has never given lzdpubllqity. Above all else, It belon; by right to General Garfield, yet while he lived, and even after he was stricken down, the ovidence in Mr, Howitt's posscssion was never given to the president—to whom it could have brought untold comfort and relief. Yot Mr. Hewitt and (ieneral Garfield were old and “warm'’' friends, as the former testified in his evidence and as the judge on the bench—the Hon, Noah Davis—took care to remind him in his decision, Mr, Hewitt knows why our mouth is sealed in this matter, and he knows who sealed it. He can, if he will, dispel the most perplexing of all the mists that surround that famous forgery. Why does he not do s/ Has Tildea anything ‘o de with keeping him back? Has Dana, Tilden’s journalistic scullion, any- thing to do with it! Ts there any- thing in the nature of the secret Mr. Hewett holds that should prevent an honorable man divulging it to those who have a right to know it? TIf not, why does he not speak it out like a man—though “its divulgence now would be all to late to reach the ear of that old and “‘warm” friend who went to his grave not dreaming that = [ his companion for yearshad the means of hightening his heart by a few words. Mr. Hewitt may undorrate the im- portance ef his want of action in this matter; but the people will not. They hate a coward in politics, as in everything else; and we tell Abram S Hewitt that, until he frees his mind of the matter we have spoken of— until he keeps his word, and, from hia place in the house of representatives, clears his skirts of tho stigma that now attaches to them, and makes a clean breast of the knowledge ac- quired after he testified—no amount of patriotic ironmongering—no back- ing of Tilden’s, no encomiums of The Sun, no wire-pulling, and no expendi- ture of money and influence, however lavish- ean put him in a post of honor before this people. GARFIELD'S STAFF DUTY. General Rosencrans’ Tribute to the Late President. False Statements Regarding the Tul- lahoma Campaign Corrected--- Garfleld’s Denunclation of Chas. A. Dana. *‘What is to be done in the future with our vast silver product?”’ inquired a gentloman of Mr. Burchard, Direc- tor of Mints, while the two sat in » room in the Continental Hotel an evening or two since. ‘‘That is a great question, and one which needs thoughtful attention and careful legis- lation,” replied Mr. Burchard, and then the two went on discussing the condition of the mints, their location and the future of the coinage of the precious metals in this country, with an ease which demonstrated that both knew what they were talking about. Prominent as has been Mr. Bur- chard’s place, both as legislator ana executive officer, the name of the man who sat with him was a household word long before Mr, Burchard began making his mark as a Congressman from Illinois. There was something interesting in the study of his face, and still more in recalling his history and his life's work. He is little above the average lmight of man, and has a strong, well-knit frame which shows few marks of age, notwith- standing the arduous demands he has made upon his physical nature. As he crossed his leg and settled himse!f into an easy chair, there was. some- thing in his air and manner that told he was a soldier, and still more to re- mind one who had known him in war, ot the characteristic pose of body when settled for a talk in which he had an interest. You cannot read much of sternness in the genial, good- natured face, yet there are lots of it beneath the quiet composure of coun- tenance that was searcely ever unset- tled even in the pinch of battle. He was dressed in a plain suit of conven- tional black clothes, but they did not obscure the traditional marks of a soldier, which, when once impressed upon & man’s life, are never effaced. The round, good-natured, kindly face has not been perceptibly scarred by age during the last fifteen years, and the light, clear blue eye is as bright as in the war time. The short-cropped whiskers around the ponderous lower’ jaw are a little more whitened than then, and the hair on his shapely head is getting a little thinner and grayer. Otherwise the organizer and first com- mander of the Army of the Cumber- land looks much the same when I saw him to-night discussing mines and mining, mints and coinage, as he did when riding along the lines or sitting at the headquarters of the army he commanded, directing its movements upon the battlefield and in the bivouac. ROSENCRANS' RECORD, How queerly fate oft-times shapes the lives of men! Whereis there an American that cannot recall the name and fame of Geueral W. 8. Rosen- crans! How the mere mention of it recalls his brilliant success in West Virginia at the very threshold of the war, when the clouds of adversity to our arms seemed to be gathering rapidly about the Union cause! His w}:isvnmenn were about the only r1ay of sunshine that slanted northward in those days. Then followed his good work in Mississippi, which elevated him to the greater command of the Army of the Cumberland, « hile B was pushing out of Kentucky at his ait and with the plunder he hadgntgared from 1t fertile farms. Then his master hand cathered and organized that superb army which owed him from Stone River to Chickamauga and made he brilliant campaign of Tullahoma when in ten %l{l Shelbyville and the town to 'ullahoma, two fortified camps of great strength, were reduced by flank movements and without material loss to our arms. Stone River and Chick- amauga were doubtful fields, but not feom nis faults of omission or com- mission. Nevertheless an arbitrary sowax‘ set him aside and the brilliant eeds of years were ignored because the force which controlled the army demanded success and accepted no explanations, With a record ripe with splendid achievements he left the army he had organized with its love and admiration and the respect of his countrymen. He is now a congressman from California, and if that state finds him as good a repre- sentativo as the nation did a soldier she will have cause to congratulate herself GEN, GARFIELD 8 STAFF DUTY, When Mr, Burchard withdrew the chat naturally turned to the war, and eapecially to the service of the army of the Cumberland. “‘That was the most compact and | TUESDAY FEBRUARY 28 ioo2 use ul army ever gathered,” said the general enthusiastically, “How I do like to look back and think of the ser- vico it did, and recall inidents of the campaigns through which it marched to gain its illustrious name! Just think of all the good men, from gen- erals down to privates; that army contained, There was Thomas, Mc Cook, Crittenden and Stanley at the head of the four corps, Stanley having the cavalry. Then Sheridan, Van Cleve, Jefferson C. Davis, Negloy, Brannon, Palmer, Wood, Hamilton, a'd Baird commanded the divisions.” ““When did Gen. Garfield join your command?” “Shortly after the battle of Stone River, He had been on court martial duty after his promotion to brigadier for some time, and was finally ordered to report to mo. Garschae, who had been my chief-of -staff, was, you know, killed at Stone River, and T was with- out one when Garfield reported to m, I had no command such as T cared to give him at the moment, so 1 kept him at headquarters, and for some time he occupied my quarters with me. 1 put him in communication and association with the corps and division commanders, #o that they might be- come well acquainted with him. A chief-of-staff, besides being a com- manding general's first staff officer, has much business with all the gen- erals of the army. I therefore felt it essential that they should be satisfied with my selection of a new chiet-of- staff. Garechae was a very superior man, with a_capneity for the duties of chief-of-staff sush as I never found in a man before or since. It was, there- fore, a delicate task to decide upon a man to fill his place, and no ordinary nan could do it. After he had been thore some two weeks I asked the ad- Vice of the different generals as to my appointment of General Gartield. They acquiesced in my suggestion to offer him the place. I thensaid to him: ‘‘‘General, there are two places now open to you—you can either have a command, or I will make you chief-of- staff.’ His reply was: ¢“‘General Rosencrans, if m{ ence is to decide the matter like to have the staff position.’ “‘Very well,’ said I, and at once announced the order appointing him. He always occupied an adjoining tent to me, and of course our association was close and pleasant. He remained as my chief of staff through the Tulla- homa campaign and until after the bat- tle of Chickamauga.” THE TULLAHOMA CAMPAIGN, “I notice General Garfield’s bio- grapher speaks ot his having written a letter in relation to the Tullahoma campaign, which decided you to make an immediate movement.” ‘Yes, that matter was recently called to my attention. General Gar- field did write such a letter, but under these circumstances: I had early in the year advised a reasonable delay until General Grant’s siege of Vicks- burg was far enough advanced, so that there could be no danger of reinforce- ments being drawn from its defense. I do not remember the exact date, but some_ time in June of that year I called General Garfield into my tent and said that I had determined to move within a very few days, but that I desired to get the expression of my corps and division commanders upon the subject to send to General Hal- leck, who was then commander-in- chief. I dictated a short draft of a letter to be sent to each one asking their opinion in writing as to the date the movement should begin, and pro- pounding three questions bearing upon different phases of the subject. The letters were framed and sent. Then General Garfield came to me and said: ‘General, won't you let me write an answer to those questions?’ I remarked, ‘General Garfield, I have no objections to your writing an answer to the questions, but it would hardly be proper for you as chiet-of- staff and already in possession of my my intentions to write a letter upon that subject which might reflect or be regarded in the nature of a criticism upon the opinion of my corp and di- vision commanders. You have acceas to all these papers, and your answer must be in no wise an official docu- ment of such form and spirit as to be regarded as a critic upon the expres- sions of the other generals.” This was the last that ever I heard of this until T saw General Garfield's answer to these questions printed in his bio- raphy. I never knew that it had een preserved as a part of the official files of the army of the Cum- berland. His biographer makes a serious blunder 1n saying that it de- termined an early movement. It would be an injustice to the distin- guished generals who held commands in that army to permit the reflection tkat the opinion of a chief-of-staff would be held superior to theirs. It is true that most of them did advise delay, but it was for the same reason that I had advised it earlier in the year. General Garfield should have ample credit for his work, but I hardly believe he would approve of the efforts of his biographer to give to give him the credit for all the good things done by the Army ot the Cum- prefer- should = berland while he servec with it.” HE WAS A GOOD OFFCER, “‘Did General Garfield meet your expectations as chief-of-staff?” ‘‘He was a valuable man in many respects. He was quick to catch the drift of events, and was a fine letter writer. He could take a suggestion as to orders on important communica- tions, and readily draft them with good taste, accuracy and force. He had a fine mind, and it run rather in the direction of civil pursuits than to broad military operations. He got on pleasantly with the officers, and filled his position well, 44t Chickamauga Do uid grcas deal of work, I remember that after the battle he said to me: ‘‘General, how many orders do you think you dictated to me yesterday?" ‘T have no idea,” T replied. ‘You gave me fifty,’ said he, referring to his field menio- randum-book. The other staff oflicers referred to theirs, and the remainder of them had taken only about fifty more, “There was a scene at Chicka- maugd between General Garfield and me which has been colored with a great deal of fancy by those who have written of it. 1t wes when we parted upon the field, he to go to Thomas and I to give the orders for the move- ments of the troops upon the right of the line. I had repeated to him sev- eral orders as to the disposition of the troops upon the Rosaville road, when he turned quickly to me and said: “These are too many orders for me to give personally.” Fery well,” said 1, “yeu go to Thomas and tell him to use his {'ndg- ment about holding the left, and also to say to me whiether he would ¢o in'e camp where he was or move whero there was water. 1t is no credit to say .that in that important moment wo parted with each other in tears, Neither of us felt anything like senti- ment then. ““After I had given him dircotions as to what he should say to Thomas, he took his two orderlies, one of whom now lives in Philadelphia, and went to deliver the message. He did it promptly, and when I reached Ross- villo I received a telegram saying Thomas would hold the left, and when hewentinto camp would bivouac where there was water 1T 1S NOT TRUE, “The story that his biographer prints about his having written all my orders excopt the ones which opened the gap in the line, is as purely fiction as tho one which painted us as erying over each other in the heat of battle. “In tho first place, no order waa giyen that opencd a gap in the line, his limetime would hardly have au- thorized the statement that he wrote my orders for the movement of the army on that day or any other day. On the field T of course dictated my orders to my staft officers, and he, be- ing chief of staff and always with me, penned most of them from my diota- tion, At Chickamauga, as well as all other places, he was of course familiar with my plans, The night before the battle IThad all the Commanding Generals summoned to my headquar- ters, that all might hear the orders for the movement of the whole army. Each General had, of course, a copy of the order relating to the moyement of his corps, but I wanted each cne to know the orders of all the others, When they were assembled Garfield read the orders aloud to them, and they were discussed in detail and ap- proved. The position of each corps was agreed upon, and Thomas was to take the left and hold it at all hazards. He had his corps and one division to do the work, andthe manner in which he pertormed his duty gave him the name of ‘‘Rock of Chickamauga.” Tt was not an order that disturbed the line, but an unfortunate misunder- standing by General Wood of the or- ders he received. ALL WAS LOVELY. “There secems to be an effort to create the impression that there was some misunderstanding between you and General Garfield.” “Never. When, after the battle of Chickamauga, a resolution was iniro- duced 1 Congreas thanking the Army of the Cumberland for gallant conduct at Chickamauga, he moved to insert my name in the resolution and made a neat and very eulogistic speech in relation to my part in the events of thatday. About the time he was mak- ing his canvas for the Senatorship, the year before his nomination for the presidency there appeared in the New York Sun a letter signed C. A. D., which charged that General Garfiel had recommended and was responsible for my removal from the army of, the Cumberland. The letter, I supposed, was from Mr. Dana’s own pen, and, as he had been aasistant secretary of article out, and, endorsing it to Gen. Garfield, sad: Dear GeNerar: Idonot care to involve you in a controversy with the Sun during the pendancy of your canvass. When that is concluded make your own plan of setting this matter straight. ‘“He sent me the following reply almost immediately: DEAr GENERAL: I have never been untrue to you in word, thought or ! deed—Dana, or any other liar, to the contrary notwithstanding. ' *‘Again, when the Thomas statue was unveiled in Washington he sent me a very urgent requést to be pres- ent, and again telegraphed me a mes- sage of flattering import asking my presence, I should like to have accepted, but could not come. No, there was never any misunderstand- ing between us, and he always to me expressed the most cordial friend- shids.” ‘It has been stated by several emi- nent men, however, that they heard him recommend my removal from the command of the Army of the Cum- berland soon after he left my staff, but I know nothing of it personally. Certainly his words to me and his acts, 8o far as I know. were friendly.” _Great Men Born in February. Gincinnati Gazetto.
