will comprise at least five sleepers, of the
best that the Chicago & Northwestern can
afford.
The Sir Knights will go hence in excel

Great Western Band consisting of thirty
two pieces, exclusive of the drum major and
the drum corps. At Saltwater junction the
train will be intercepted by Bayard command

St. Paul will start at 6 o'clock on the even

Sir Knight William s. Kemp, who will see

After passing that point he will be "private

his advice.
The trip promises to be one of the most
enjoyable ever taken by the commandery.

subject in his letter of acceptance, and its
candidate for Vice President was dismissed
from Office by Mr.. Hayes administration
because of his conspicuous ineficiency
and questionable public acts. 1t holds office
by the most open defiance of the popular
will, and yet it claims it is the only friend
of free and fair elections. The President
tells how sincere and devoted he is to cleo
tions entirely free from intermeddling Of
oficeholders, and yet sees his cabinet officers
using their power over their subordinates to
compel submission at the polls, and to pay
out their per centage upon their salaries as
an election fund. The truth is, the Repub-
lican party has been 10 power 30 long, that
its Improvement and arbitrary acts have
become chronic. Its followers believe the
government and its patronage belong to
them.
JUSTICE AND HONOR DEMAND CHANGE,
that punishment may be melted out to fraud
upon the people; that misgoverrmeut and

bring leader into contact with many
forces which he must divert or subdue.
Those whose schemes are thwarted do
not always accept defeat with compla-
cency; but even these contests have left
no lasting scars, and Gen. Arthur, while
he is idolized by many, is respected by
all.
Such, in brief, is the character of the
man selected as our candidate for Vice
President. When invested with power
he has used it wisely; when burdened
with responsibility he has boTne it man
fully; when endowed with trusts, he has
restored them honestly. Colossal in his
physical proportions, his mind is cast in
a similar mold. Never hurried, never
confused, never respondent, he bears with
equauimity the plaudits of friends and
the assaults of foes. Confident and self.
reliant he pursues the course his con-
science dictates, unmoved by the mistakes
of his friends or the malice of his enemies.
He is, indeed, fit to be the leader Of

in his convictions of right-a man with

ROSECRANS ON GARFIELD.
( san Francisco CALL

Last evening Cal reporter visited
General W. S. Rosecrans, at his residence
in this city, and obtained from him some
interesting facts concerning the military
career of the Repu blic an nominee.
"Yes," replied General Rosecrans, in
response to an inquiry from the Calls
representative, Garfield was member
of my military family during the early
part of the war. When he came to my
headquarters must confess that | had
prejudice against him, as understood he
was preacher who had gone into pol
itics, and man of that cast was nat
urally opposed to. He remsined at head
quarters for couple of days, as l wanted
to become acquainted with him before
him to duty. The more | saw
of him the better | liked him. and finally
gave him his choice of brigade or to
become my Chief of Staff. Most men
would have probably taken the brigade,
but he decided to remain with me. We
were together until the Chattanooga
affair. found him to be competent
and efficient officer, an earnest and de-
voted patriot, and man of the highest
honor. His views were large, and he
was possessed Of thoroughly compre-
hensive mind. Late in the summer of
1868 he came to me one day and said
that he had been asked to accept the
Republican nomination for Congress from
the Ashtabula District, and asked my
advice as to whether he ought to accept
it, and whether he could do so honorably.
replied that | not only thought he could
accept it with honor, but that | deemed
it to be his duty to do SO. The war is
not yet over, ! said, Eor will it be for
some time to come. There will be many
questions arising in Congress which will
require not alone statesmanlike treatment,
but the advice Of men having an acquaint-
ance with military affairs will be needed;
and for that and several other reasons

equally as good service to his country in
Congress as in the field. 1t was, too, a
great honor to him to be nominated by
the Ashtabula district, which had been
represented in the House by one man for
quarter of century Joshua r. Gid
dings); they were thoroughly acquainted
with him and he was in accord with their
sentiments in politics. Before the inter-
view CLOSED said to him: Garfield, |
want to give you some advice. When
you go to Congress be careful what you
say. Don't talk too much; but when
you do speak, talk to the point. BE true
to yourself and you will make your mark

The INDEPENDENT INDoRsEMENT.-The
Independent Republicans ofNew York city,
known as the "scratchers," have taken
early occasion to ratify the Chicago noml-
nations, which they did by a meeting in
Cooper Institute, Saturday night. Joseph
II. Choate, esq, presided and made the
speech OF the evening, in which he said
that the whole 'army OF scratchers had
joined the regular ranks, that every Repub-
lican will respond to the roll call, and that
the Empire State, which has the casting
vote In this great contest, will give II with
a will for Garfield and Arthur" In refer
ence to Gen. Arthur, Mr. Choate said:
"with regard to Gen Arthur, he 10 too well
known for me to recite his praises or his pop
ularity, but would like TO be permitted TO say
that he has given the best Of his life 70 promote
what he believed 10 be the welfare and pros
perity Of the Republican party (chcers) and IN
a very great measure the success we have had
have been achieved by his aid. (Applause:)
His spotless honor, his unquestionable integri.
ty, his high personal character, are well known
by all men In this community. Should he per.

GENERAL ARTHUR AND THE
DESPERATE.

When Billy Wilson was raising his no.
torious zouave regiment Of roughs during
the war, the members composing it were
acting very badly in New York, and Gov.
Morgan ordered Gen. Arthur, who was
quartermaster- general, to stop their mis-
conduct. Arthur summoned Billy to his
office. The desperate responsively swag.
gered in wearing his uniform as colonel,
and listened contemptuously to the warn
ing that Arthur gave him. At length
he insolently retorted: "Neither you nor
the Governor has anything to do with me,
for I'm colonel in the United States
service, | am, and you've no right to or
der me-" Arthur informed him that he
was not colonel yet, because his regi
ment was not full, and no commission
had been issued. "Well I've got my
shoulder straps on" said Billy, land as
long as | wear them, don't take no
orders from you fellows" Arthur was
Just as burly then as now, and far more

him into chair and ordered him nder

4 MAN FOR AN EMERGENCY.
How GEN. GARFIELD PREVENTED \
BLOODY RIOT.

The following reminiscence, says the
Cincinnati Ga=ette, OF the greatest crisis
the country ever passed through, has
been furnished us by distinguished gen
tleman who was present: II shall never
forget the first time | saw General Gar
field. 1t was the morning after Presi-
dent Lincolns assassination. The coun.
try was excited to its utmost tension, and
New York city seemed ready for the scenes
Of the French Revelation. The intelll-
gence of Lincoln's murder had been
flashed BY the wires over the whole land.
The newspaper headlines OF the tran
saction were set up in the largest type,
and the high crime was on every one S
tongue. Fear took possession of mems
minds as to the fate Of the government,
for in a few hours the news came on that
Seward throat was cut and that attempts
had been made upon the lives of others
of the government officers. Posters were
stuck up everywhere, in great black let
tiers. calling upon the loyal citizens Of
New York, Brooklyn, Jersey City and
neighboring places to meet around the
Wall Street Exchange and give express
sion to their sentiments. 1t was a dark
and terrible hour. What might come
next no one could tell, and men spoke
with abated breath. The wrath of the
working men was simply uncomfortable.
and revolvers and knives were in the
hands of thousands of Lincoln's friends,
ready, at the first opportunity, to take
the law into their own hands, and avenge
the death of the martyred President,
upon any and all who dared to utter
word against him. Eleven o'clock a. m.
was the hour set for the rendezvous.
Fifty thousand people crowded around
the Exchange building, examining and
iamming the streets, and wedged In as
tight as men could stand together.
1.-TWO men lay bleeding on one of the
side streets, the one dead, the other next
to dying; one on the pavement, the other
in the gutter. They had said moment
before that Lincoln ought to have been
shot long ago. They were not allowed
to say it again! Soon two long pieces of
scantling stood out above the heads of
