WHY FORNEY rs FOR HAN.
COCK.
GARFIELD's SELECTION WAS A BLUNDER
WORSE THAN a CRIME.


Col. Forney, two weeks ago in his
Progress, opened on his enemy with
this kind of a battery
Having decided TO support Hancock
for President of the United States,
however | find that there is another
audience not quite as anxious TO hear
what | have to say; that enc decides
against me IN advance. The parties
to this proceeding are gentlemen who
think that il is an offense for an indie
pendent Republican to have any voice
in public affairs that is not set TO the
chorus of the Republican ring. As
long as you sing in the choir, and
echo their sentiments, and obey their
covenants, you are saint but if you
utter disc rdant noteyou are traitor.
| am traitor now because | do not
swing the censor to General Garfield.
] am Inconsistent because spoke well
of Garfield after his nomination for
President, | am glad did. His
nomination was relief from the men
who assasslnated Grant at Chicago.
GARFIELD was better than the Office
holding and oflice.hbnting politicians
who, after hunting down the lion ex-
pected to drink his blood, to feed upon
his fame and to rally the party he had
saved twice from ruin to their support.
Garfield was better than the hypoerites
who, bowling civil service and holding
up third term, as they said, sought
the Presidency only for themselves,
after having been longer in otfice than
four times the length OF one term.

ing city, Tuesday evening. The ex-
Gov, arrived in this place on Monday
evening, and was the guest Of Judge
Barrett. He had himself scarcely
housed, when the Judges residence
was bombarded by the orpheus and
Citizen bands, and a large torch light
procession. The serenade was a good
one and called the Ex-Governor to the
front, where he made short, happy
speech. He dealt the Northern Con-
federates some fearful blows. His al.
lusions to Gen. Hancock sent up a
hurrah every time. Everybody seems
to know Hancock, and when his name
is mentioned 1t produces music as EN-.
phatically as touching the keys of q

DEATH or AN E.K. TREAS.
URER.


Hon. Amos @. Noyes, who died sud.
denly ut his residence in Westport,
Clinton county, on Friday night last,
was a'natYc of Grafton county, New
Hampshire, and was born on the 18th
of September, 1878, lie came TO this
State in ls47 and. after spending a
short time at Emporium, he located
permanently at Westport. He en-
gagediN the numbering business which
he carried on extensively during his
life time. He was chosen TO tho pop.
ular branch of the legislature for sew
eral terms during the war and again
for several terms more at later peri
cd. In 1875 he was prominently
named as candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor and
received very nattering support in
the State Convention Of that year.
In 1877 he was nominated for State
Treasurer by the Democrats and was
elected by q majority OF 0, 9O1. His
term Of Office expired on the Sd Of May
last.
Colonel Noyes was a man of great
decision of character but also of singu.
lar goodness OF heart. His personal
friendships were very strong and he
clung to those who won his regard
with an affection which no influence
nor interest could change. He was a
man, too, who had tho courage of his
convictions, lie was fearless in the
discharge OF what he believed his duty
His great big heart knew no guile and
it can be said with entire truthfulness
that whatever he did he ment for the
best whether IN public or private af-
fairs, His death leaves a void in the
politics of the State which will not be
easily filled, and will be sorely felt by
many warm friends and especially by
the community in which he lived.

The FRAIL CoSGREssMAN.-Judge
Black describes Garfield as a man who
has a conscience, but has put the key
of it into the keeping Of his party. lie
says further that he had a good defense
in the Credit Mobilier business but he
adopted the bad one Of the guilty, and
surely nothing severcr could be said Of
a man than that he was so weak as not
to know his own good defense and so
criminal as to adopt a false one. We
hope the Republican papers will widely
publish Judge Blacks opinion of their
man.

of 1873 overlook the country and beg
CARED so many hitherto prosperous
citizens, the people were not slow to
recognize the fact that it was in a
large measure due to the blunders of
thirteen years continuous Republican
rule. Their first move was to elect a
Democratic House Of Representa- tives,
under whose legislation the business
interest Of the country began to revive,
and during the present Congress, with
the co operation of Democratic SEN
ate, the legislation originating with
the majority has been abundantly jus
tilted by the affairs. All that is now
required to insure the continuance of
prosperity, is the cooperation of an
Executive in harmony with the law.

WORDS OF HOPE.

No word was received up to 10
o'clock this evening by Mesrs Alexan.
der in regard to the missing steamship.
Many relatives Of passengers called at
the Alexander mansion in Twenty
seventh street tonight, and were DIS
appointed when no news in regard TO
the missing vessel was forthcoming.
Captain Deakin, who commanded the
Vera Cruz for two years, this after
noon considerably lightenod the fears
OF the relatives Of the persons on board,
who were waiting for news, by saying
confidently that the vessel could ride
safely through any sea, and that he
had no doubt whatever that she would
come out all right. He knew the
vessel, he said, and did not believe any
storm between here and Havana could
sink her Tho hope thus held out was
sf " NiagSrra, Of Wards line" ne; which s, sailed
tho day after the Vera Cruz, had not
yet been heard from, and that no anx.
iety was entertained in regard to her
safety.
