” The New York Sun says thatj “The republican party seems bound to perpetuate the memory of the great fraud by which the people Unit ed States were deprived of the President whom they had chosen and had thrust upon them one whom they had rejected at the polls. President Arthur is a well meaning mao, no doubt, notwithstanding the eulogy on “soap” which he delivered in this city a few months ago, and yet when he is looking around for the cuief officer of his cabinet, he selected for secretary of etuteone of the most conspicuous promoters and members of the electoral commission, As long as the republican party is permitted to live It will bo impossible for it to escape the odium and the consequences of the aot by which Fraud first became triumphant iu American history.” Conspicuous among the members of the new Kentucky legislature is Hon. David Merriweather, who was a senator in congress in 1862 and governor of New Mexico during Pierce’s administration. He also served many years in the state legislature, and was twice speaker of the house.
