English or Arthur, Which?—A Plain Statement tor thinking People. [From the Indianapolis Sentinel, July 23’80] The political professions and promises of candidates for office amount to little, and it is far better to judge them by their conduct when they have been intrusted with political power. When they are honest and faithful to trust confided to them ? Let us for a moment apply this test to Arthur and English, the candidates for the Vice-Pres-idency. Mr. Arthur was intrusted with the collection of the United States revenue at the City of New’ York. Was he faithful to that trust ? This question has been answered in the negative by the highest Republican testimony in the land, and it is too clear and emphatic to be called in question or explained away. Here is what Hayes and John Sherman said of this man Arthur not long since. It is Republican testimony and should not be questioned by Republicans : “With a deep sense of my obligations under the Constitution, I regard it as my plain duty to suspend you in order that the office may be honestly administered."—R. B. Hayes to Collector Arthur, January 31, 1879. “Persons have been regularly paid by you who have rendered little or no service; the expenses of your office have increased, while its receipts have diminished. Bribes, or gratuities in the shape of bribes, have been received by your subordinates in several branches of the Custom House, and you have in no case supported the effort to correct these abuses."—Secretary Sherman to Collector Arthur, January 31, 1879. Now we have seen what Secretary Sherman and President Hayes said of Mr. English when he was intrusted with politicalpporer.w r er. President Buchanan wrote to Mr. English as follows : “It was your fate to end a dangerous agitation, to confer lasting benefits upon your country, and to make your character historical. I shall remain always your friend. If I had a thousand votes' you should have them all with a hearty good will.” And now let us see what his constituents said when he retired from office. The Convention which nominated his successor, adopted unanimously the following resolution : Resolved, That in selecting a candidate to represent this District in the Thirty-seventh Congress, we deem it a proper occasion to express the respect and esteem we entertain for our present member, Hon. W. 11. English, and our confidence in him as a public officer. In his retirement, in accordance with his well known wishes, from the position of Representative, which he has so long filled with credit to himself and benefit ' to the country, we heartily greet him : with the plaudit, “Well done thou good and faithful servant.”

Again : Mr. English was for fifteen years intrusted with the management of one of the most important financial institutions in the West, from which he voluntarily retired with the thanks of the Directors and stockholders ‘•For the very great financial ability,, constant watchfulness and perfect fidelity with which he has managed it from its organization to the present time.” And this resolution was offered by Colonel John C. New. now the Chairman of the Indiana Republican Central Committee. Here then is the whole case in a nutshell : English was faithful to the public trusts committed to him, and voluntairly retired with the praise of his administration and the unanimous plaudits of his constituents, “Well done thou good and faithful servant.” whereas Arthur proved recreant to his trust, and was kicked out of his office in disgrace, “in order.” as President Hayes and Secretary Sherman said, "that the office might be honestly administered.” These are not partisan statesments, but plain unvarnished facts which honest thinking people wil] not fail to consider in making up a judgment as to which of these two men it would be safest to intrust with public office.
