consisting of fifteen men, not delegates, but
acting for themselves alone, who passed resOf
lutions, and united with the Democrats in q
nomination. At the ensuing election General
Garfield received 20,0l2 votes which Is S23
more than he received at any other time in
the district, as II was then constituted. 1t
was this Convention that passed the re3olu-
tions denouncing General Garfield, which are
now falsely heralded over the country ms the
resolutions of a Republican District Conven-
tion.
There has been no proper Republican oppo-
sitiOn to General Garfield since his nomina-
tion in 1874. His nomination and election in
1875, considering all that had gone before 1t,
was the strongest expression OF confidence
that the Republicans of this district could
have given. No competing candidate in the
Convention, he had vote larger by B23 than
he received in the district at any other time
In 1875 his vote was l7,l66, which was only
seventy-six less than the vote cast for the
Republican candidate for Secretary of state.
Il is perfectly clear that all proper Repub.
lican opposition to General Garfield had
ceased.
The attempt to make the "Mass Conven-
ton of 1876 stand for II great detection in the
Republican party originates either in igno-
rance or in dishonesty. That Convention CON
tanned fifteen men. one of whom then was,
and now Is, a Democrat. One of the signers
of the address that was put forth In the
name of the Convention, on which the DEM
ocrats are now placing so much stress, was
not present, and his name was signed with
out his consent or his knowledge. One OF
| the fifteen now is, and has been, an avowed
Democrat and Greenbaclter, thirteen of the
members of the Convention remain. Among
these are several as active and ardent support
ers as General Garaeld has anywhere in the
country. Besides, the Rev. II. ii. Hurlburt,
now of Marion, Iowa, the Independent can
ddate against General Garfield in 1874 in an
swer to the question whether he is heartily
supporting the General for President, under
date of August 81, answers: "Yes, most en-
! phatically."
Finally we assure the National Republican
party that the Republicans of this district,
| who have been close and critical observers OF
| their representative, are heartily and thor
| oughly united in the support of General Gar
| field, and they will give him larger vote for
| President at the coming election than they
| have given him for Representative.

MANUFACTURE OF BUTTER.-Prof. L.
B. Arnold gives a detailed statement of
experiments made to determine the
agency of the oxygen of the air on the
separation of butter from milk and
cream. Omitting the careful details for
securing reliable result, we can only
state in general that vessels containing
oxygen with the cream, gave butter by
agitation in eighteen minutes, while
another vessel with carbonic acid con-
fined with the cream required twenty
eight minutes of agitation to pro-
duce butter. The product in the
two cases was unlike; that from cream
under oxygen had lively, rich and de-
licious flavor, while that from under
carbonic acid was insipid and had a
| greasy taste. The former kept well,
the latter soon became tainted. The
| quantity of butter was the same in each
case. We are not informed what chem
ical difference appeared whether the
butter was obtained from fresh milk or
from cream forty-eight hours old.
BUTTER to be kept any length of time
should be made with the greatest pos
sible care and with an eye particularly
to the exclusion of every drop of but
termilk. To accomplish this to the
greatest perfection the churn should
be stopped while the butter is in the
granular form, certainly no larger than
peas, and a little earlier if possible.
| Draw off the buttermilk and wash
through changes of fresh water at a
temperature not higher than sixty three
degrees several times and until the
water runs off perfectly clear. Not less
| than three-fourths of an ounce of salt

after the water has been all worked out.

hours after the first, and Just enough

Fall Cheese.

The quantity of fine fall-made
cheese in this country is not large.
If America is to keep up and in
crease the quantity of cheese exported
to Europe, the quality must be good.
"Skims" will not fill the bill If any
temporary pecuniary advantage is
gained by making skim-cheese it is
more balanced in the long run by sub
the inferior quality of so large a per-
centage of the fall make of cheese is
easy. Cupidity is at the bottom of it.
AS soon as the hot weather is over,
many factories resort to skimming. A
factory which has made reputation for
producing cheese of fine quality, spoils
its reputation and ruins its prospects
by skimming, and atthe very time, too,
when the best opportunity is presented
to maintain and enhance it. 1t is well
to remember that the September and
October cheeses are those that are re-
quired to carry over for spring use. If
these goods are "full cream" they are
rich, solid and desirable The factory
producing them is more than likely 10
get an order for goods from abroad the
following season. But such will hardly
be the case if skimming is resorted TO.
An experienced dairyman, of Rome,
N. Y, says, on this subject: makers
seldom fully realize the full effects of
skimming. 1t alters the condition of
the milk which they have TO work, re-
tarding the desired change, and this, in
connection with the cold weather, de-
lays the development of acid. The
maker tires of waiting and watching
and dips the curd too soon, the result
being a poor, open-textmed cheese.

A Fight with Kerosene Lamps as Weap.
Ons-One Man Fatally and An
other Dangerously Burned.

Somewhat brief mention was made in
yesterdays Tribune of a frightful duel be-
tween two men armed with kerosene lamps.
One of the contestants died at the County
Hospital yesterday, aud the death of the other
was expected to follow before to-day. The
case is almost unparalleled for frightful atroc-
ity. The particular portion of the yard of the
Union Iron and Steel Mills, used for loading
cars, is lighted, when the men are
kerosene lamps. These are Of double
tin, and contain about a pint of oil
each. They are designed for hand use. The
wick is set in funnel, which stands about
very well known 10 those who handle them
that when they are upset or turned upside
them and catches fire. William Doyle and
Thomas Connell, the victims of the Sunday
morning duel, are old employees in the yard
and must have been perfectly well acquainted
with these facts. Both men had been quar-
reling all night about where their lamps should
be placed to throw the best light, and the work.
men who heard these spats say 1t was hard to
tell who was right and who wrong. However,
Connell was the first to hurl a lamp at his op-
ponent, and this he did without any other
proyocation than Doyle's angry words. Doyle
retaliated by hurting his lamp at his assailant
The burning oil flew in all directions, and the
other workmen were obliged to run TO prevent
their clothes from taking fire. The lighting
men cinched, and their lamps, exploding in
quick succession, deluged them both with
burning oil and otherwise injured them. But
1t was only when their burning clothing was
scorching their bodies into a crisp that
they ceased the combat Their fellow
workmen rushed TO their assistance, and
several were badly burned about the hands in
their praiseworthy endeavor TO save the lives
of the two men by tearing from them the
burning clothing. Before this could be ac-
cOmplished Doyle was terribly charred and
his screams of agony could be heard for blocks
COnnell wes not quite so badly burned, but his
pain was almost as intense as that of Doyle.
Both were attended as soon as possible by Or.
Greer, who said promptly that Doyle could not
live, and he thought Connells condition pre-
carious Doyle was taken home to No. 3S
Church place, where he has wife and two
children, and Conuell was taken TO his home
at the corner of Wood and Fourteenth streets,
where ne has a wife and six children, but sub
sequently both were taken TO the County
Hospital. There Doyle died In the most horri-
Bile agony yesterday forenoon. The Deputy
Coroner, who was notified, went there to hold
the inquest but the Hospital physicians could
extend no hope for Connelrs recovery, and
his condition was so low that it was decided
to postpone the inquest until to-day, when the
chances are that the inquest will be double

Novel Fractional Currency.

1t is not generally known that if 81
greenback is net atty cut in two each of
the halves is good for so cents at the
Federal Treasury. The same process
can be carried on till the bill is divided
into tenths without iniuring the aliquot
value of its parts. This has been sug-
gested as an easy way of obtaining
small sums to send by mail, now that
the extremely convenient fractional cur
rency has disappeared; but it is not
likely to be generally adopted; a half
note being an awkward thing to pass,
except at a bank. The popular objec-
tion to such fragments comes down
from time when one-half bank-note
was worthless without the other half. 1t
is SO to-day in England, and the division
of a Bank of England note is a frequent
way of insuring its safety when sent by
mail. Major Powers, prominent Off
Ger in the Treasury Department of long
experience, proposes that the back of
one dollar greenbacks be hereafter di-
vided by the device printed upon them
into four parts, so as to be cut up at
pleasure, each quarter being good in
small sums for twenty-five cents. This
would enable the community to supply
itself with its own fractional currency
at pleasure, and it would also probably
increase enormously the share of one
dollar notes which would never come
back to the asury.--SpringfeLd

GENERAL GARFIELD.
ITS Relation. to HI. Constituency.


To the Republicans Of the United states:
represent and falsify the history of General
Gariield's relations to the Republicans of this
district. The point Of the cnarge that is con-
stautly reiterated is that there has boon and
still is a large detection as regards him in the
party. AS the efforts to spread and impress
this charge may make some impression ON the
public mind in other States, the subscribers
deem it proper to publish this statement of
facts
/. General Garfield has been nine times in
succession elected to the House of Repre-
sentativesby the Republicans of this district
viz. ut each Congressional election from 1862
TO 1878, inclusive. At each election he has had
a decided majority. When 1t is remembered
that the average time of Congressional service
Is short-that generally the ablest men retire
from the House of Representatives after two,
three, or four terms, because they can no
Logger rcommandt the requisite support-it must
be acknowledgedthat General Garfield eight
cen years is an extraordinary term. What Is
more, of itself this long term is an adequate
answer to the chirge that is now current.
2. To the foregoing general fact this specific
one may be added: General Garfeld's aver
age vote for his nine elections IS 1885; his
last vote QSIS is l7,i66, or 2jl more than the
average. If the nine elections are not sutli-
cient to show the estimation i'm which he is
held, the size of the last two votes should be.
B. If any reader is still distrustful of General
Garfield relations to his old constituency, let
him ca ~eful study the following tables.
First, however, he should observe that the
Nineteenth District, at different times, has
been composed of different counties.
