Am old Pacific slope Settlers
Visit to IEae Centennial

Mr.. S. S. Hassard, who lives at the
mouth Of the Suohomish river has just
returned from q protracted visit east.
He came up from San F'ranctsru On Rne'
last trip of the Dakota. Leaving here
last May his visit has extended over a
period of six months. His appearance
is that of man who had enjoyed him
SELF as he is the perfect picture of health.
He left San Francisco, on his way east,
by the Pacific r. r., May Gath via.
Omaha, st. Joe, st. Louis, indianapolis,
Cleveland, and Buffalo, N. Y From
thence to Albany via. N. Y. Central.
From the latter place, in one of the Hud.
son river palace steamers to New York
city. At a glance, it will be seen that
his route took him through the heart Of
the great American republic, where most
densely populated, and allowed him to
spend few days in the largest cities of
the Union. From New York city, he
visited Union Head, n, j., where he has
relatives living, At Westerly, r. l. was
his birth place, from which he had been
absent since 1S40. Not one in hun
dred of the present inhabitants could he
recognize, yet 81 years ago he could call
every one by name. A large granite
quarry is located near the place, its de-
yelopment, causing the. place to grow
from small village to town of several
thousand inhabitants, and for the same
reason many of the surrounding villages
have retrograded. Similar change meets
the visitor in every locality at the east
Mr., II. is member of the original
band Of 49ers. He left N. Y. in the first
vessel that sailed that year, for San Fran
cisco via. Cape Horn, passing Golden
Gate the last day of June of that mem
orable year.
While east, this being his first visit
he was at Saratoga, Long Branch, Rock.
away and Naragansett Pier, all far famed
watering places. He was in Washing.
ton going through all the prominent
buildings while there. To Philadelphia
and the Centennial he made two trips,
and speaks in unmeasured terms Of the
magnificent spectacle.
He returned via. the Penn. Central, tc
Cleveland, st. Louis, Omaha and San
Francisco. Our esteemed friend w. II
Reeves and family, whose interesting
letters from the east and Philadelphia
have appeared frequently in the STAR
were his companions on the Dakota from,

II was a little unreasonable in
Carl Schurz and c. F. Adams to say
in New York at the Independent
conference held on the 10th that if
Rristow were uotnominated at Gin
oinnati and Tilden was made the
choice Of the Democratic convention
they would vote sos the latter and
desert tie Republican ranks entirely.
1t was equivalent to assuming that
Mr.. Bristow is the only Republican
and MIR. 1ilden the only Democratic
candidate that is worthy to serve as
President. They have been taken to
task severely by the press for al
lowing such expressions to escape
them in au ungusrded moment and
when they were over enthused by the
presence of very honorable gath
ering of political free-thinkers. The
San Francisco Chronicle pertinently
asks what they would do in case that
neither was nominated. Where
would they hunt with their lantern
of reform for the other honest mani
The Great Unknown may yet prove
to be just as acceptable to honest
voters Of Republican principles as
Rristow would be. Since the un-
known must remain concealed from
the eyes of the people until the last
moment in order to be the unknown,
it is difficult to imagine, even, what
qualities he may possess. Suppose
that Elihu y ashburnc should receive
the Cinciansti nomination, would he
not satisfy Nr. Schurz a-i Mr..
Adamsl these men, when they
come TO think Of ii, must confess
that they committed an error IN pro
nouaciag in favor Of Bgistow as
against any other possible Republic
can candidate. Bristow is no doubt
the best man YET nsmsd 10 suit tie
pressing needs Of the country and the
loud demands Of the people, bat
there may be another hid away some
where under bashel just as good as
he. The reform conference has
brought a good deal Of ridicule upoa
itself by pronouncing so uuswery-
ingly in favor Of a single man, know
irg, as it, members must have known,
that nominations are uncertain, aud
that all the states and territories have
their claims to make aud their ends
70 serve. But the conference has
another side to present besides the
ridiculous. II Was n gathering of
honest men, albei: deiuded, if You
choose 10 call them SO, who had the
good Of the country in viox, They
want an honest man to receive the
Republican nomination., for the ben
eft Of the party and of the nation,
AMI they believe Bristow TO be
the Only one obtaiuabie. The
clouds seem TO be gathering around
Blaine lately, and the Democratic
signal service give US warning in late
dispatches that other connections
like those just pas, may be expected
soon. So that, until these blow over
and the heavens above the leading
candidate are clear. ,hc choice of the
eminent reformers cannot I've con
sidered As hopeless, anyhow. He is
our choice to begin with; but, ike
all good Republicans, who believe
that the principles Of the party are
the correct and safe foundation for
our gs.Yernmcnt, We shall abide by
the decision of the majority Of those
who have been intrusied with the
power 70 make choice of candi-
dates.
