unanimous choice Of those who

and when it came to the Con-
vention every vote was record.
ed in his favor. No man could
SO well represent the spirit Of
the loyal masses in closing up
a lasting, honorable peace with
the South, as he who lead our
armies to victory and made
peace possible. While he will
be magnanimous TO the foe he
has conquered, we know that
he will be true to his brothers
in-arms and the people who
sustained him when he was en-
gagged in the life OF death strug.

pure patriot. and a statesman.
He was Speaker of the House
of Representatives during the
stormy times of the war, and

even of his opponents, while
the purity OF his personal char

THE Democracy have. con-
sistently eadeavored to create
jealousy and i'll feeling be.
tween the different sections OF
our country. They fatten upon
calamities that befall the land,
and labor to bring them about.
They charge the East with all
the heresies Of the day, and the
Republican party with being
controlled by Eastern interests.
They do this without the least
regard for truth to accomplish
their own party ends. We
claim that the Republican
party is Swayed less by sec.
tional spirit, has more real ma
tionality about it, than any
other party. To their charge
that it is controlled by Eastern
interests We point to the late
action of the party. The Con-
vention was held in the West;
both candidates are Western
men, and the Eastern delegates
supported them heartily in the
ConyentioD as they will at the
polls this fall. We say to you,
the Republican party is the
only one" on in which the West
has ever stood the ghost of a
chance. 1t is the only one that
has ever acknowledged d the
power and greatness Of the
West, and the only one that
ever materially aided the West
ern pioneer to develop the re-
sources of his State. The con.
struction of the Pacific Rail.
road Under the auspices Of a
Republican Congress alone,
will prove Of more benefit to
the West than all other bills
ever passed. . q . % -t's."
The West furnishes the can,
didates; the West furnishes the
majorities to elect them, and
yet Democratic papers tell us
we are controlled by Eastern
interests. Out upon such non.
sensel When did the Democ.
racy ever elect a Western man
to the Presidency When did
the Democratic party ever pass
an act beneftisg the West as
the Pacific Railroad bill will2
In the long life and Ilease Of
power Of the Democratic party
where was the West Benefited
Never did the West have a
voice in the council Of the ma

freedom and progress. o,r.s

schools, eright to impose two

! Now what we have to say is
this: we are pleased to know
that this matter has been
brought before the people for
their consideration andapproy-
al; for we think no man with
anything like just notions of
economy and the public well
fare, will for a moment doubt
the propriety and justness Of
this asking. The school build
Iings are much in need of re-
pairs, and have been for sew
eral years past. Many dollars
might have been saved, had
this matter been attended to,
long since. The belfry, roof,
etc. are in such condition now,
that the rains completely
drench an area of more than
one hundred square feet of the
upper ceiling, and have injured
it to the extent that much Of
it has fallen off; thus permit
ting the water to deluge in
part the floors and ceilings be-
low. Certainly will the people
not object, nor act with uncon'
Germ in the protection and say
ing of that which has cost
them the outlay of thousands
of dollars and for as important
a purpose as the education in
common of the children of the
town and vicinity. Our schools
and school property ought to
be the just pride of every citi-
zen who looks to the good Of
the whole community, or if no
further than merely to his own
selfish aggrandisement. Ifthey
are not what they ought to be
it is chiefly our own fault We,
alone, in many instances, are
responsible. They are the
creatures Of our patronage
Hence, we ought to be interest
ed in this affair. Now no more
efficient, economical and ration
al plan of right doing is afford
ed than that of rendering the
school room attractive by its
neatness, cleanliness, and in
every possible way comforta-
BILE, that it may be pleasant to
rs inmates.
We may think as we will,
but the dinginess and filthiness
of aroom in which the child is
to pass the greaterpart Of each
day while it is being educated
have q most potent influence
in inducing carelessness, ill
manners, deprayed tates, i'll
humor, idleness, truancy and
disease. And how strange that
parents who use every endeav-
or-bring to bear every inAu-
ence to refinement at home, are
Indifferent to the chilRs wants
and happiness in the schools.
Here is sad neglect; it ought
to be remedied-it must be if
we do what we know and feel
to be our duty in the premises.
To say nothing of the responsi.
bility which attaches to the re-
lation of parent and child, the
public welfare, civil and moral,
demands q wholesome and ju-
dieious exercise of such du-
ties as are incumbent on every
one who lays claim to the pro-
lection and guardianship Of the
country's laws. We hope to
see this matter carried forward
with energy and determination
on the part of citizens and
school men, that our schools be
no longer trammeled and hurt
on accountof sheer neglect. 4

before the curtain rose, ] saw.
a gentleman in the aisle, ma
king his way with a lady on
his arm, and leading by the
hand a little hoy to a seat near
the orchestra. His face seemed
strangely familiar, but it was
not within the first instant that
/ recognized in his simple citi-
zen's dress, wearing an old.
fashioned "stove-p:pe" hat,
General U. S. Grant. He came
in so quietly and quickly that
few persons did recognize him.
His cool, blue eye, firm Jaw,
the mouth a mere straight line
through his short, sandy beard,
and his fixed, intent look, iden-
tilted him to those who CHANGED
TO be observers, beyond a
chance of mistake. 1t seemed
to be his wish to avoid atten-
ton, and he succeeded so well
that, though all men knew him,
but fe W in the crowded audience

man with the lady and the
little boy, on the second row
of chairs from the orchestra,

tily into the enjoyment of the
drolleries of Jefferson, the
comedian, was the man who
holds the most commanding
position in the nation, and up.
on whose influential fame and
popularity the Republican par

to maintain its footing in the
high places of authority. There
is a great deal of talk through.
the country of General Grants
habits, and no little uneasiness
among his friends concerning
the reports that he is a hard
drinker, and has been seen
drunk. There is nothingin his
appearance that indicates the
slightest irregularity Of life,
His complexion is clear, his
eye is clear, and his whole
bearing and msnner not only
not only that of a man broken
by dissipation and degraded
by an evil appetite, but that of
a man temperate in all things.
All reports that have reached
me from sources entitled to
consideration, are to the effect
that the habits of General
Grant are good, and his life
blameless. And l may add
that Republicans of whom he
was not the first choice for
President, speaking Of him
without a thought of'any pub
licity being given their obser-
vationS, and under ciroumstan-
ces such that criticism would

that he shows a degree OF in
teligence il public affairs, and
a simple earnestness and in.
tegrity that win their absolute
confidence. This may : not
amount to a great deal. / do'not
appreciate it very highly. 1t
is worth writing, however, if
it disposes of an apprehension
entertained without sufficient
reason by any good citizen.--
General Grant is probably not
a very brilliant man, not a
dazzling character, BUT he is
discreet, sensible and safe. He
is unspoiled by flattery, and is
as unostentatious as when a
citizen of Galena or st. Louis:
he is not the least dizzy, but
goes about his business, mod
