Now would be good time to re-

in 1876 Hayes got l73 electoral
votes, counting those Of South Carolina,
which did not belong to him. 1t looks
now as though Garfield would not get

The Republicans choose to rep
resent the Democratic party as the
Southern partv. Why it is such it
would puzzle them to tell. At the last
Presidential election the total Demo
cratic vote in the Southern States, &C
cording to Returning Board count, was
l,6l4,l60. The total Democratic, vote
in the Northern States was 4G7l. 43O.
The Republicans are only 1,0n,27O
wide OF the truth. 1t is q mere tri0e in
comparison with some Of their misses.

in his speech 1t New York Sem
ator Conkling said Of General Garfield:
"That he has intelligence, experience
and habits of mind which fit him for
the Presidential Office, I Mia1; ! ksow.
That he is competent to discharge the
duties before him, there seems TO he
no reason to doubt" OF General Ar
thur he said: 'All who know him know
a high-souled, honorable man. etc.
If the character, popularity and person-
atty of a candidate can add streigth to
the Republican cause, General Arthur
will add that strength etc. Which
reminds one of the old New England
storekeeper who employed two boys
one Of them the son of poor widow,
the other the son of the rich man in the
village. whom no one cared to offend.
"What kind of boy is Chester?" let
us call the poor boy-asked q man from
the city, who was looking for q clerk.
"Splendid boy! He's q favorite of
mine; never saw so nice boy; have
watched him ever since he was little
shaver" 'And how is Jim-is that
his name?'' "Well, Jim's a pretty
fair boy; good as boys 20, guess
"You guess; don't you know whether
he's good boy or not?'' swell, I
suspect he's . good boy. though now
you ask me, 1 think l must have
dreamed it,"
