THE NEW ERA IN AMERICAN POLITICS. Copyright, 1900, by Seymour Eaton. XXT. End of Carpet-Bag Government. With the inauguration of Hayes and Wheeler the United States entered upon a new period of growth and development, under normal conditions. The unnatural relations between the Federal Government and the Southern States which had sub- sisted from the close of the war were brought to an end and the States were left to adjust themselves in their own ways 1o the changes introduced by the war. President Hayes immediately with- drew military support from the Republi- can governments of South Carolina and Louisian rs to-resign. They did so, and the dis- credited rpet-bag” rule in the South thus came to a final end.

It provided for the coinage of a silver dollar of ?ralns. which should be a legal t or all debts.

The disastrous effects of the Bland law upon the credit of the nation, which were pre- dicted by experfenced ' financiers, were held in ‘check by this amendment re- | stricting the amount of the coinage and | placing the whole matter in the hands of the Government.

Mr. Chittenden was a type of the jour- nalist of the New York Herald schunl,‘ with which, after years of previous activ- | itv, he was ldentified in various capaci- | ties for a number of years. He was born | April 11, 1846, at Hartford, Conn. His | father was a prominent abolitionist and | a leading New York wholesale dry goods | merchant. At the age of 17 years the | young man entered Yale University, from | which he was graduated in 1867. | From college he went almost immedi- ately into newspaper work, beginning his successful career with the Brooklyn (N. Y.) Dally Union, a patriotic journal founded by his uncle, S. B. Chittenden, during the civil war. ' For two years he was its_editor, assoclated with Edward | Cary, editor-in-chief. Mr. Chittenden took a course under Pro- | fessor Theodore Dwight at Columbia Law School, and was admitted to practice be- fore the Supreme Court of New York. H> then went to the New York Standard, under John Russell Young, serving as re- | porter, then nirht editor, then editorial | writer. Later he went to Milwaukee, where he acquired an interest in the | Journal of Commerce, which. under his management, became a political daily— | Ccmmerefal Times. For five vears, with | his brother, Danlel Gano Chittenden, he | conducted a campaign which left its fm- | press upon the city. Later the Times | was merged into the News, which news- paper the Chittendens sold to Robertson James, & brother of the novelist, Henry James. Then Mr. Chittenden returned to his father's home In New Jersey for rest. A year later he was called by James Gordon Bennett to become editor of the New York Evening Telegram. Fifteen | vears Mr. Chittenden spent in the Ben- | nett service, several of which he oceu- ! pled in various departments on the New | York Herald. One of his achlevements | was to win a first prize of $600 offeved by | Bennett for the most acceptable ed- itorfal paragraphs written by Herald re- porters during a nerind of six months Coming to California with his family, Mr. Chittenaen made his home in Oak- jand until two months ago. when he re- moved to Berkeley. He engaged in ed- itorial work in San Franclsco and on the Oakland Tribune. While on the latter paper he carried out the free library en- terprise. r.

The return to specie payments was op- posed by a party calling itself the Inde- pendent National Party, but popularly known as the Greenbackers or the Green- ack party. The Greenbackers held their first convention in 1576 and nominated Peter Cooper for President. and they also put forth tickets in the two or three suc ceeding campaigns. They advocated permanent irredeemable paper currency Since 1868 the Democrats have shown ning toward a_financia to that of the Greenbackers a policy similar They have looked askance upon Republican projects for resumption of specie in later years have been one form or another of “soft money” as against the “hard money” to which Re- publicans have inclin The second Con- gress of Hayes' administration contained Democratic majorities in both branches, ayments, and clined to faver but the party was not sufficiently com- pact and united to take effective ad- vantage of its nominal ascendency, and the return to specie payments was quietly accomplished at the appointed time. The Silver Question. The proposed return to a speele basis raised the question as to the metal in which payment should be made. At that time the United States had only subsid- iary silver coins In circulation, and was coining no others. An act of 1873 defl nitely omitted the silver dollar from the list of TUnited States coins, continuing only the subsidiary coinage. which was legal tender for small debts. This “de- monetization” of the silver dollar was followed by a great depreciation in the value of silver as compared with gold, al- though that decline was caused rather by of European Governments than by the American colnage law. Tha silver mining {interests of the United States were injuriously affected, and the withdrawal of the silver dollar came to be regarded by a large proportion of the ag. | ricultural and mining population of South and West as a grievance of the first rank. Hence arose a movement. which soon gathered great force, for the “remonetization’ of the silver dollar with full legal tender value, which, it was be- lleved, would pply that abundance of “cheap money” rezarded by the “Sflver party” as necessary to the national pros- perity. This tended to array what wera the f ® | year term, would not be, in its technical | | and objectionable sense, election to a | third term. Conkling of New York was the leader of the enterprise, which many regarded as a formidable attempt to re- store the spoils system to its former su- premacy in the Republican party. Presi- | dent Hayes, while cordially 'Avflflfli a | reform of the civil service, had not had | the effective support of Comgress, and | abuses of a flagrant character had eon- | tinued to sully the record of Republican | rule. The sentiment in favor of legal regulation of the patronage of the Gov- ernment grew stronger within and with- out the party | Meanwhile ~ Republican Alssensfons waxed bitter as the election of 138 drew near. Blaine was again the choice of a | strong element in the party, but in the ‘(’un\'vnllun, which met in Chicago In June, Grant led all other eandidates in every one of the thirty-six ballots taken untii the last, Blaine standing second | |until the last, when most of hi ers went to G fleld, along with those who had favored Edmunds, man, Washburne or Windon.

Both the New York Senitors re- | signed their seats when the{ were refused the privilege of dictating the choice of a customs collector for the port of New York, and an acrimonious factional quar- | rel embittered Garfleld’s brief incum- bency. He fell by the hands of a disap- pointed and revengeful office - seeker in July, 1881, and died the following Sep- tember. This tragie illustration of the evil ten- dency of the spoils system of dispensing government patronage effectually con- vinced all parties and all classes of the mperative need of a different method of determining appointments to office. The “star route’” scandals which came to light in 1581 still further emphasized the disgraceful state of the government service. The star routes (so called be- cause marked In the catalogue with an asterisk) were stage lines over which mails were distributed in the West. Five million dollars was annually appropriated by the postoffice department for the ser- vice of these lines, while it was sald that over some of them not more than three letters a week wers carried. It came out in the lnvefllsfltlon of 1581 that a deliberate plot was devised by postal officlals between 1578 and 1880 for In- creasing the amount ot apparent service and the cost for certain of these lines, leaving a deficit for the others which Congress was called to meet. The money of which the Government was defrauded went into the pockets of the consplrators. The trial of the case exposed all the un- savory details to the intense disgust of the whole nation.

An Ameri- can and an Englishmen. who had become friends aboard ship, had a pleasant en- counter about distance on reaching New York. They breakfasted together, and the fol- lowing conversation ensued: “I guess I'll turn out, to see Harry after breakfast,” sald the Englishman. “Harry?" queried the Amgrican, softly. “Yes, my brother,” explained the Eng- lishmen. “T've two here. Harry lives in San Francisco and Charlie in Chicago. “But you'll be back for dinner?” face- tipusly asked the American.
