General Grant disposes completely of
the absurd reports about II bargain be-
tween him and General Garfield at Men
tor. The Boston Journal says it has re-
ceived private letter from n gentleman
who dined with General Grant in Brook
Ign few days ago in which this passage
occurs: ain the latter part of the even
ing some remarks were made about Men
tor, when the General said, looking me
right in the face with his frank, clear
eyes; The reported bargain At Mentor
was not true. There was nothing said
10 Garfield but that which was said in
the presence of large number of people,
for there was no time while we were
there that we were not surrounded by u
crowd, and there was no private inter.
view sought or held. There was no bar
gain whatever This was SAID in a
calm, clear, firm voice, which is his
characteristic, and the conversation turn
ed on other subjects" The country will
believe Grant.

1t is now thought in well informed cir
Giles that there will be much trouble in
making the next congressional appor-
tionment under the new census salts
factory to MI sections, and the feeling is
growing that new superintendent will
not be made until the next congress.
The trouble about the apportionment, il
is already apparent, viii be as to the
basis of representation. The New Eng
land and some of the Middle states,
which fall behind, will objec to any dim
mutton of their representation in con
grcss. But even if the present basis, one
representative in congress for every
1871 900 population, be continued, Ithe
New England states will lose four and
the middle states six congressman, while
the house will be swelled to 1853 mem
beers. This indicates one of the reasons
why the apportionment may be post
poncd until the next congress.

inthe vast crowd which surged to and
fro in the streets and on the prvements
below her window, cheering vociferous-
ly for Garfield, and occasionally for
Hancock. She turned to Mr.. Jarrett,
who stood at her elbow, and asked what
they were shouting for IN. Garfield
for.
"Because he will save the country

"And lie General Hancocque, will he
save the country too?'' she asked with
great earnestnesS.
Mr.. Jarret told her that the same
claim was made on behalf of General
Hancock by his friends. whereat she
pondered deeply. then she looked up
suddenly and asked:

THE PRESS ON SENATOR

Senator Plumb made decidedly the
best speech that was made in this city
during the campaign. In fact he has
but few. equals when il comes down TO.
regular old business IN a speech. He
talks like he shot, taking dead aim be-
fore be pulled the trigger -WieEila

The Journal is pleased to note that
Hon. p. 3. Plumb, United States senator
from Kansas, Is receiving just recognition
r.. ia the press of the slate for the active
and effective service he rendered the Re
Publican party during the late canvass.
His speeches were not only well distrib-
uled throughout Kansas, where they did
great good, but he also spoke in Indiana,
and we arc not certain but he aided the
| good cause in Ohio also. Senator Plumb
az Washington is a credit To his state,
and By deep intellectual ability coupled
with strong physical energy and uIdus-
try. IS stIil working his way up in the
world. The Republican party may well
| feel proud TO own him as one of its fol
lowers and the people are fortunate in
having 50 faithful and honorable a man
as he TO represent their interests in the
/ United States senate--Laeygne Journal
Perhaps no western man deserves more

than Senator p. Il. Plumb. Besides do
ing effective work on the stump in the
state, the Senator made number o.
speeches in Ohio and Indiana. When a
home-that is in Kansas-he was con
stantly on The move, speaking often twice
the same day, and always ready to C
where the need seemed greatest.
He spent the last days ofthe campaign
in the Second congressional district
which was deemed doubtful. So en-
crossed was he with the work of cam
paigning that he failed TO register a
EmporiH, and, we understand, lost hi
vote But the noble work done in tn
canvass will rebound TO his credit, anC
every locality, as here in Morris county

labors in grateful remembrance. t,
him is due all the credit of securing the
