the intention Of the voters"
We notice by our Benwood letter that q
Garfield and Arthur club has been organ.
lied down there, and that 1t is expected to
muster 200 members. We are gratifed to
see that Mr.. Jacob Altmeyer has been
elected President. 1t strikes US that he is
the right man in the right place, even as
he has proved himself to be in every
other position which he has held. Jacob
was Democrat, not long ago, as was his
brother Mat, but, as in the case OF many
other Democrats, they have concluded that
as workers their interests do not lie
with that party. Their doctrine is that a
party that turns It's back upon the skilled
industry OF the country does not deserve
the support Of any man interested in the
welfare Of that industry.

The Democratic Candidate for Vice Pres.
ident.
We have before US the biography OF
VIM. q. English, the Democratic capdi-
date for Vice President Inasmuch as we
notice that the Democratic papers never
refer OF late to their candidate for Vice
President we feel called upon to pay some
attention to this biography. We COM
mence by remarking that several million
copies OF the pamphlet ought to be pub
llshed for gratuitous distribution. The
people oft i, country ought TO know what
remarkable financial success Mr.. English
has been in this world. He has not ex.
actly shown how blood can be got out OF
aturnip, but he has shown how it can be
got out Of fellow being. He ought 10
have been surgeon, and he ought 10 have
made specially Of such diseases Of the
yitals as require the use OF the knife. II
there is man ia America who as o snr.
geon could stick knife into man with
out culver or quayer, it seems 10 US it
must be English. He has stuck the 6pan-
cisl knife into more victims, perhaps, than
any,man in America, No such wampum
Of bleeding hearts begirts the waist OF any
other shylock in the land. They dangle
from his belt in great numbers.
Until July %, 1877, English was banker
