Our democratic exchanges are letting themselves down easy by publishing a half column or so of big
head lines announcing the election of
a fusion coroner or two here and
there, but the little heading at the
bottom "The State Goes .Republican," tells a story that 'hoy would
gladly have remain t«u.o!d. Let's
see. Farmer Luce's majority is
about double Gov. Alger's and it
was only a few short months ago
that the democrats carried Michigan,
for Morse by :50,00i) plnmlity.' The
present Michigan delegation in Congress stands seven democrats to four
republicans and the republicans have
a bare majority in the state legislature. <>n' the 2nd the. republicans
elected six congressman and an over-,
whelming majority in both, branches
of the legislature. Yes, tlie state
did go republican somewhat, come
to think of it, and fusion is dead. To
the democrats the late election was a
Waterloo, a Gettysburg, and an Ap-

lus D. Culver.   He was admitted  to
the practice ofthe law in 1852, shortly after entered into partnership with
his old friend Gardner, and about the
same time married the only daughter
of Lieut, ilerodon, of the navy. Mrs,
Arthur died in 1880, leaving two children—a son Allan, and a daughter,
Nellie.   In November, 1871, he was
appointed Collector  of the  port  of
New York under Gen. Grant.    The
office Mr, Arthur found to be one of
great  political   power, and   it  was
claimed that he used it as a lever of
the Conklin machine.    The abuses
which grew out of  his   administration finally   become   the  subject of
congressional investigation,   and   in
January,   1879,   Secretary   Sherman
sent a  commideation   to* President
Hayes urging Arthur's removal.
Arthur was removed, as was also
A. B. Cornell, naval officer oi' the
nort of New York. Colliding was
furious. As "a slap at Hayes" Cornell was nominated governor of the
state, and Arthur was placed at the
head of the central committee. Cornell was elected, and Arthur was
further advanced by being named
second to Conklingas me ofthe four
delegates-at-large to the Chicago convention of 1SS0, which nominated
Garfield and Arthur. When by accident Arthur beeamo President
everybody thought thechangein the
administration would turn things
topsy turvy. But the new President
acted with caution. His administration was marked by no events of
great importance, but during the
last two years of his term he rose
much in public esteem, He had sufficient independence to resist the demands of his old New York gang of
political strikers, and the civil'service commissioners say that he assisted and en io u raged their work by
niakingap|!-ointments which seemed
to be dictated only by a genuine desire to promote the public service.
