HOW GARFIELD WENT TO
CONGRESS.

While he was at college he was in the
habit of delivering public addresses in the
neighboring villages on Sunday, and as
his power became known he was in
great demand. Returning to Ohio after
graduating, he was at once elected Pro-
fessor of Ancient Languages in the Ec-
lectic College at Hiram. Here he
distinguished himself as teacher, and
after year or two was elected president
of the college. Soon after this he was
elected to the Ohio Senate, and at once
became prominent member. He took
an active part in all the debates, and
his speeches were read with interest all
over the State. He studied law and
was admitted to practice. but he never
actively pursued his profession.
About March, 1861, l went to Mr..
Garfield and offered him $1,000 per
year if he would serve as vice-principal
of the Cleveland Institute, of which l
at that time was principal. He said,
81 am very much obliged to you for
your kind offer, but you would not want
to employ me for short time, and I
feel it my duty to say that some of my
friends have got the insane notion in
their heads that | ought to 60 to Con-
gress. I know / amt fit for the position,
and have fought against it all I could.
| know nothing about political wire
pulling, and have told my friends
plainly that I would have nothing to do
with that kind of business, but am as
sured can be nominated and elected
without my resorting to any unlawful
means, and 1 have lately given author
ity to allow my name to be used. |
don't know that anything will come Of
it; if there does not, l will gladly &C.
cept your offer" During this year. and
for some time before, Mr.. Garfield had
added largely to his reputation as ar
orator, and extended his acquaintance
by lecturing at teachers institutes anc
similar gatherings. When the wa
broke out he at once raised regimen
and went to the front. In 1862 he wa
triumphantly elected to Congress ant
began his career at Washington.

The crippled Union soldiers were
given the cut direct by the Democratic
majority in the United States Senate on
Tuesday. The Senate took up the bill
to increase thr police force of the Dis
trict of Columbia and voted that the
provision of existing law requiring that
the police should be chosen from ex-
Union soldiers or sailors should be re-
pealed. The Republicans opposed the
repeal, claiming that the time has not
yet come when the Union soldier should
be put aside for the Confederate sold
Ter. The Democratic majority of the
Senate decided that this provision should
be repealed, and that the Union soldier
must go. Several Democrats broke
their pairs to make quorum. and vot-
ed against the soldier. Stick pin

Mr.. E. J. Phelps is out in a letter
advocating Senator Bayard's nomination
for the Presidency by the Democrats,
and at the same time speaking in high
terms of Horatio Seymour and Judge
Field. OF Mr.. Tilden, he says if his
influence sis exerted to confer the NOM
ination on any man whatever. who
would not otherwise on his own merits
be regarded as entitled to it, or who is
to stand as Mr.. Tilden's representative,
that man, whoever he is, will be as GER
tainly defeated, as would be Mr.. Tilden
himself" In Mr.. Phelps opinion it
will be of no use for the Democrats to
put up "any hack or machine politician
who may be in pursuit of the Office, any
representative man put forward by such
a politician and under his control, any
unknown or obscure candidate who must
be supported by afidavits. or backed up
by witnesses to character. any military
gentleman, however distinguished, whose
life has been spent in an experience
which has disqualified him for states
manship and the control Of civil affairs.

General Garfeld's entire estate
scales below $4,000. This is certain
ly no proof of great rogue, but it is
prima tacie evidence of an honest man.
While Garfield has been patiently CLEAN
ing these paltry thousands Tilden has
bagged his half score millions. The
one barely lives by building up his
country. the other becomes a bloated
Croesus by wrecking railroads. The
one is statesman, the other schemer.
The one is beloved for his virtues, the
other is fattered for his money. Gar
field will be carried into the White
House upon the hearts of the people
while Tilden will be left to his solitary
bachelorhood in CIPHER Alley.-Atbans

PRESS COMMENTS ON THE
NOMINATION.

The nomination of Gen. Garfield will
make the work of the campaign easier
than it would have been with either
Grant or Blaine. There will be no
wounds to staunch and no animosities
to appease, for the friends of no other
candidate will feel either beaten or
Inundated. He will be accepted by
every Republican in the broad land as
fitting substitute for his first choice"
as deserving of every Republican vote,
and as more sure of success than either
of the eminent men who led in the pre-
liminary canvass.-Atba'ay Journal.
Although the Traveller has favored
the selection for that position soldier
and statesman of greater experience and
wider reputation, it has no dissatisfac-
ton with this result Gen Garfeld's
career has been notable one, and has
been marked by that high statesman
ship which has won for him the admira-
ton not only of his party, but of all
good citizens. His name will carry a
prestige which ensures victory from the
start, and the grand old Republican
party, united upon his candidacy, will
once more march on to victory.-Bos-
ton Traveller.
Even with the best nomination the
Democrats can make, Gen. Garfield s
name will be a tower of strength with
all classes who recognize thai. i law,
order; stability and education are essen
tial conditions to our prosperity as a
people. He represents the principles
which underlie our civilization and give
life and vigor to our institutions, and,
swhile sufficiently in sympathy with that
sentiment of the imperial West which
regards the republic as nation, he has
always shown himself sincere and de-
voted friend of local self-government by
the several states -B0Ston Herald.

of the state and nation. 1t is the duty of
republicans this year, almost as never
before, to subordinate personal consider
ations to the general good. 1t is no time
for piques and prejudices. We have a
common cause to promote, and since the
masses of our party have so forcibly de-
termined that the party shall not defeat
itself, so will we show by united front
that we do not court nor expect defeat
from the opposition.

OF General Arthur's nomination the
Albany Journal, an anti-Conkling and
anti-Grant paper of the highest stand
ing for ability and influence, says:
1t was proper that New York should
have the vice-president, and that being
conceded, it was eminently proper that
the honor should fall upon General Ches-
ter A. Arthur. He has earned the dis
tinction by his political fidelity and he
will dignity the office by his integrity and
ability. Very few men in the state have
rendered more important service to the
Republican party, or administered more
successfully the official trusts which have
been confided to him. He was quarter
master-general of the state under Cover
nor Morgan during the most critical peri
| cd Of the war 1t was an office of vast
responsibility, which required great zeal,
energy and honesty in it's administration.
General Arthur possessed these qualities
in an eminent degree and developed them
in manner which elected the thanks and
excited the admiration of all who were
cogniZant of the herculean labors which
the exigencies of the times imposed upon
the incumbent of that office. Then, as
since, General Arthur enjoyed the unlim-
tied confidence and friendship of Cover
nor Morgan, because he deserved both,
as well because of his personal and offici-
al integrity as because of his patriotic
efficiency and zeal. He was equally
faithful and efficient as collector of the
port of New York. His removal from
office resulted from no distrust of his in
tegrity or fidelity, but because he would
not forego his right to render legitimate
service for the party whose principles
he revered and whose success he deemed
essential to the national welfare. His
displacement was a mistake which the
people will be glad to rectify by placing
him in the high Office for which he is
nominated. General Arthurs personal
qualifications are unquestioned. With
scholarly tastes and culture he combines
quickness of perception, great admins
trative tact, and the instincts and bear
ing of gentleman. He will preside with
dignity and promptly secure and hold the
confidence and respect of his associates
in office. His nomination was as polite
as it was deserved. He was among the
most conspicuous and earnest friends Of
General Grant. He sought his nomina
ton because he believed it the sures
guarantee of success. The convention
having decided otherwise, it was wise
and proper to place one of the foremos
of General Grants friends on the ticke
with the successful candidate. That il
did so, and that General Arthur was Sc
lected for the honor, is not only proof o
the wisdom of the convention but guar
antee of harmony and enthusiasm from

OF General Arthur's nomination the
Albany Journal, an anti-Conkling and
anti-Grant paper of the highest stand
ing for ability and influence, says:
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1880-07-04
ST. PAUL,s PROGRESS.

A stranger driving through st. Paul can.
not fail to be struck with the extraordinary
activity manifested on every hand. Gu,
streets are crowded from morning to night
by a busy, jostling throng; wagons and
trucks go hither and thither, laden with
goods of all descriptions, destined for every
part of the great Northwest; hundreds OF
trains come and go daily, heavily laden with
merchandise, produce and machinery; the
slick of the mason's trowel, and the rattle
of the carpenters hammer are heard on
every hand, and elegant residences and pala-
tial business blocks are springing up as
by magic. There are no idlers on the
streets, but every man seems to have some
thing to 90, and to be anxious to do it as
speedily as possible.
This activity is gratifying evidence of
the real growth of the metropolis of the
northwest that is now in progress. Though
the building season has scarce commenced,
hundreds of thousands of dollars have al
ready been expended on public improve
ments this season, and at least four hundred
buildings of every description have been

erected, while hundreds of others are now in

erected, while hundreds Of others are now in
process of construction. Our architects,
contractors and builders have all they can
do. Skilled labor is in active demand, and
nnskilled workmen find all the employment
they desire.
This energy and enterprise is not spas
modic. 1t began two years ago, developed
into decided boom last year, and this sea-
son has become almost q mania. But it is
not an ordinary mania. 1t partakes more of
strife between rivals in business, each
seeking to reach the goal of success first.
It springs from settled faith in the brilliant
future of st. Paul. Our capitalists and BUSH
ness men have been convinced more and
more as the years have passed that this oily
is destined to become the center of vast
trade, far outreaching that commanded by
Chicago, st. Louis or any other Western
metropolis The business of an empire will
be laid at the feet of the business men of
this city, and before another decade shall
have passed, St. Paul will be recognized as
the greatest of Western commercial cities.
It is natural that, in view of this brilliant
prospect, capital should seek a permanent
investment. AS capital is never blind it
naturally enters the groove that gives prom
Use of the largest returns. This groove, at
the present time, happens to be the erection
of business buildings for the accommodation
of those who desire to engage in the various
branches of trade. The accumulation of
even small houses will aggregate a large
amount of trade in the course of year, and
thus attract large amount of trade that
might otherwise go elsewhere.
The present development of the city is
almost without precedent in the growth of
Western cities. In the past ten years, not
withstanding that half of the time the coun-
try was experiencing season of unusual de-
preston, the population has more than
doubled and the trade more than quadrupled.
The prospect is that the next decade will
show still more remarkable Improvement.
It is, at any rate, gratifying that capitalists
are taking SO deep an interest in the welfare
of the city, and testifying their faith in it's
future by their works

Father Hennepin spent the winter previous
to coming to st. Paul in Ohio. He then came
to this city and stuck his stakes as an Ohio
man. While taking walk in the suburbs one
day looking for a route for an elevated railroad,
he found the Falls of st. Anthony, and became
SO delighted with them that he fell into the
river fourteen times before he returned to the
metropolis. After sleeping over the matter he
concluded he was on the high road to
the Presidency, aud being an honorable man

SOME over-zealous masons are agitating
the expediency of receiving the Egyptian
obeiisk on its arrival at New York by grand
masonic demonstration. This proposition is
made because of the real or fancied discov-
cry on the base of the obelisk of masonic
emblems that would prove a greater an
tiquity for the masonic order than it has
ever claimed. Few masonic students have
ever attached any importance to the discov-
cry of the alleged emblems. They may be
genuine emblems of the craft, but not of
the order as at present existing. It will
hardly pay to enthuse over SO doubtful a
case of identity.
