The Hon. A. II. Stephens, of
Georgia, who has for years held the
highest post of honor among the con-
sentative DEMOCRACY Of the South, does
not join in with many of his party
leaders in traducing and vilifying Gen.
Garfield because he has become the
candidate Of the Republicans for the
Presidency. The following is his i'm
partial and unsolicited opinion of one
of the charges which have been so
industriously circulated against Gen.
Garfield, and his estimate of his char
acter for ability and integrity:
AS to the Credit Mobilier matter,
with which Gen. Garfield has been
charged, [ believe he was altogeth er
innocent of them. It will not do for
the Democratic party to throw mud at
Garfield, because if they do they will
elect him. [ am not here
to elevate our candidate by dragging
down those opposed. Although l
don't think they can ever reach the
elevated platform occupied by Han
cock and English. do not wish to
engage in this kind of assault. Gar
field 1 have known well since the
session of Congress in 1878, and [
have always regarded him of ire
proachable integrity and moral char
acter, distinguished for ability and
scholarship, and one Of the greatest
intsllects in the country. | do not
oppose him on account Of any moral
defect orintellectual incapacity.

The Greenbackers have nominated
S. L. Mason for the assembly and they
endorsed hard money democrat for
congress, Silverthorn--th they sell their
chances for congress for hope of
electing a state assemblyman We
predict Mr.. Nasons defeat as also Mr..
Silverthorn's. Such bold selling out
of pretending honest men for the sake
of Office, will disgust the intelligent
voter, as it certainly should, and they
will vote for men, who, though differ
ing politically with them they know
to be strictly honest. Gov. Pound,
Senator Scott and Hon McCord are the
men to whom our people can look 20
for honesty in all their relations with
the people. They are our leading
lumbermen in this district and are
consequently interested in the welfare
Of the laboring classes. The leaders
of the democrat and greenback parties
are altogether too willing to be bought
and sold to be trusted By the people
All liberty loving and honest people
will set aside their little preJudices
and 60 in with the party of loyalty and
law and help elect the Republican
candidates at the November election.
Indiana and Ohio have both repudiat-
ed democracy aid Greenbackism and
Wisconsin will fall in line with %, 900
majority. In Indiana the geenbackers
lost almost all their voters. There
are so few left that the dispatches
don't mention them at all. In this
state they will probably poll 5000
votes, not corporals guard compared
It'll the total vote of the state. Why
throw away your vote? Your leaders
sell your principles to the democracy
for a mere song and then force you to
swallow the pill Boys, come, fall in
line and advance good cause.

tors of the Exchange of that city:
Exchange, is the name of new
hotel, opened here the first of August
by B. E. Clark & Son. 1t is an enter
prise Ashland has been in need of for
some time. The building was erected
by number of public spirited citizens
of the town, expressly for a good hotel,
and it fills the bill. 1t contains some
thirty, light, tidy, airy and cheerful
rooms, properly furnished and conven-
iently arranged. Mr.. Clark is land
lord of thirty years experience. and no
better man could fill the position. He
was for number years proprietor Of
the Rablin House, Grand Rapids.
Wisconsin, and made it one of the
popular hotels of the state. The Ex-
change is not carried on upon the prin-
ciple Of making the greatest amount
of money out of the least possible ez-
penditure of good words and creature

ant, homelike hostelries, to be met with

Out.Of.DOOr Games.

ONE of the most significant signs of a
change in our social habits is the an
nouncements which meet us at every
turn of archery contests, croquet
matches and lawn tennis tournaments.
No summering place in the North is held
to be furnished this year unless it has a
tennis court and a field for archery. In
the South the usual tournaments have
been held, but in these the exercise is
confined to men. The ladies watch the
gallant knights on fiery steeds dash
mainly at ring with long stick, and
their only part in the pastime is to smile
and look pretty, and crown the victor
afterward, according to the old-fash-
ioned role of women, which may be pic
turesque and romantic and emotional,
but which, assuredly does not strengthen
their legs, lungs or stomachs. Tennis,
croquet and archery are games for
women as for men, and they will do
much, we prophesy, to give us a race of
healthier women as wives and mothers
for the next generation.
A long step has been taken by mod
ern women in proper, physical develop
ment. Increasing familiarity with the
models of beauty in sculpture and paint
ing has done away with tight lacing; an
educated woman to whom the figure of
the Medicean Venus or Diana of the
Louvre is familiar as her own would be
ashamed to appear with the distorted,
wasp-like waist of which her mother
was so vain. City mothers know enough
of hygiene and physiology, too, TO teach
their girls gymnastics, rowing, riding,
skating, as well as dancing. Perhaps
the most perfect examples of physical
health in the country are to be found
among the children of the higher classes
in this city, Philadelphia and Boston,
to whose bodily development knowledge
and wealth have done all that is posi-
BILE. Outdoor games are among the
most efficient aids in this physical edu-
cation. Presently our women will be
able to ride and walk with as much en-
ergy and good results to their health as
their English cousins.-NeO York Tri-

ANOTHER painful case OF hydrophoDia is re-
ported. The death of Joseph MOOrhouse, of
Elizabeth, n j., which occurred Monday night
from hydrophobia, is said by the attending
physicians, eight in number, to have been the
most rapid on record from that cause, the
victim dying in twenth-four hours after being
first attacked. Moorhouse while playing with
a pet mongrel dog in May, was bitten in the
wrist His arm was swollen for a few days
after Dr. Pickett, of Elizabeth, cauterized
the wound, and Moorhouse thought no more
Of 1t. After saving some wood Friday,
MOorhouse said he felt a pain in his
arm, but thought It WIS rheumatism
Saturday he said 10 his sister
that he felt q tingling sensation about the
wound. Sunday morning he attended Fulton
Street Methodist Church, where ne led the
choir. When he returned home he said his
shoulder panied him so he decided to stay
away from church that night. He was single
living with his two sisters in a cottage on
Broadway. When his sisters returned from
church at night they found him sitting in the
kitchen. There was wild look in his eyes,
and he said he could not sleep. The escort of
one of the sisters volunteered TO sit up with
him. Toward morning he became excited and
called for water, but when water was taken to
him he pushed 1t away, and complained that
he was choking. Early on Monday morning
Drs. Renan and Mack were called in. Finding
the man intensely excited, they injected NOR
phine, and hastily called I'm Drs. Brown and
Pickett. After consultation four other ply
sicians were sent for, and In joint consultation
they agreed that Moorhouse was attacked with
hydrophobla.
In the meantime the man became violent,
and great quantity of morphine was inject
cd, but 1t was of no avail. The spasms did not
set in until toward night. Between the spasms
Moorhouse constantly called for water, which,
while looking away, he would try to drink, but
could not. Once he escaped into the street,
and, being brought back, he sat down 70 the
piano and wildly played a hymn. Then rush
ing to the organ, he played a favorite hymn OF
his, Nothing but the Blood of Jesus VIII
Cleanse Me-" ending by falling OF the stool In
violent fit. The physicians, fearing he
would get beyond control, held him while
, ohlorofOrm was given through his nostrils.
They then bound him TO the bed. Several
times the drug was applied the attendants
not being able 70 hold him. The dts now be-
came terrible, the man frothlng at the mouth
and swapping, but not barking or snarllng like
dog. A little after eleven O'Clock he sank
into stupor which was thought to be the
effects Of the powerAl drug, but IL was death
coming to his relief. He died Il few moments
before midnight. Moorhouse was formerly a
fireman op the New York Central Railroad of
New Jersey, but lately he had been carrying
on the business Of blacksmith. He was
strong healthy man, weighing one hundred
and sixty pounds-NeW York (OCt. o. Special TO
