The Result

The Republican masses will answer
the Chicago Presidential nomination
with an enthusiasm which their sur
prise will only augment. Usually the
nominee of q contest in which the con-
spicuous candidates are beaten is some
obscurity, of whom the people know
little or nothing, and whose availability
is largely negative in character. But
in this instance the choice fell upon q
man of National reputation, of recog-
nized qualities of statesmanship. and of
an unusually ample public training.
Viewing the matter coUlly, and with
the passions of the exciting contest
quelled, candid men will be inclined to
believe that the Convention could hard
ly have taken wiser action.
James A. Garfield is man in the
prime of life, physically and intellect
aually vigorous, with all his faculties
in the most wholesome stage of ripe
ness.
His record includes both military and
civic honors. He was q soldier who
served with distinction. He has rep
resented for many years in Congress
the Western Reserve district, which
the resolute spirit of Joshua r. Gid
dings made famous, and which can
boast of people unrivaled on this
continent in the purity of their patriot
ism and the simplicity and integrity of
their political purposes. He is now a
Senator-elect from his State, and has
long been Justly considered as the
most accomplished of its conspicuous
men.
General. Garfield is "the scholar in
politics." Though self-made he is yet
a athoroughiy-educsted man. The tastes
and habits of the student, which he ac-
quired in his career as clergyman and
professor, have been preserved in his
public life. The questions that de-
mand his attention he masters; his dis
cussion of them always shows familiari-
ty with their details, and is adorned
with blossoms plucked in the garden OF
belles-lettres. This habitual self-train-
ing-and very few Americans in politi-
cal stations are his imitators in this re-
spect-is constantly bearing fruit in
manifest development. Year after year
has seen his usefulness becoming great.
er and greater. Each successive ses.
sion of Congress has found him with
broader views, sounder judgment and
more formidable powers. 1t is emphat.
ically true of him that he is strong
man still growing in strength.
He has reputation in literature and
a National fame rs an orator. No pub
lie speaker on this continent to-day can
surpass him in lucidity of statement, in
candor of tone, in dignity of,style. ant

Japanese Coin in San Francisco.

sa 1t is becoming noticeable that class
of small, thin Japanese coins, OF insig-
nificant value, is being put extensively
into circulation in this city for great
deal more than they are intrinsically
worth. The coins are really worth
about three cents, but are made to do
duty for the United States half-dime.
This practice has been observed on q
street railroad. in making change for
passengers. The constant appearance
of these coins seems to indicate the ex--
istence of a Syndicate" for specula-
tive purposes. The speculation is q
very contemptible fraud. which the pub
lie may resist by refusing to accept a
three-cent Japanese coin for q tiye-cent
piece. In one instance a ten-dollar roll
of supposed five-cent pieces, obtaine
from q broker, was found to contain
thirty three-cent Japanese jokers. worth
only ninety cents, but intended to be
passed for one dollar and fifty cents.
The roll was returned and the broker
made up the difference, --SIn f'fasofsce

WELLINGTON, O.. THURSDAY, "a,

as models of the popular discussion OF
the usually dry details of abstract prin-
ciples. To the fact that his share in the
proceedings of the Chicago Convention
brought, into such strong relief his su-
periority in this field of intellectual and
aesthetic activity was undoubtedly due
his choice as the candidate of the Re-
publican party for the highest honor in
its gift.
General Garfield IS without an atom
of demagogism in his composition. His
force of character stands as q sentinel
against that enemy, and his record Is
unmarried by any surrender of convic-
tion. The writer sat in the gallery of
the House of Representatives on March
6, 1873, and listened to the well-remem-
bered words with which Mr.. Garfield
closed his protest against the repeal of
the Resumption act. The tide was
then setting strongly against sound
finance; sensible men had surrendered
to the heresies of the paper and silver
inaationists; in Congress a1d out ex-
pansion measures were popular, and the
public man who resisted them seemed
to invite political ruin. Under these
circumstances James A. Garfield said:
This is an issue Of such transcendent impor-
tance that 1t may render all others obsolete:
II u q struggle Of honor against dishonor; of
w ana % S In a
pioyed, Government and people. may be n in, 2,
party the issue lands me or in what company
II finds me; when 1t comes shall stand with
the men who defend the money OF the Constt-
tuition and the faith of the country.
The learning displayed in the ad-
dress which closed with these sentences
was striking, but the bravery and sim

ly affected the audience. They proved
contagious then and helped greatly to
stimulate the tagging ardOr of the
friends of sound currency; they serve
now to strikingly illustrate the quality
of a moral courage from which no can
did man can withhold his praise.
The nomination of General Garfield
Is strong on other than personal
grounds. He is popular in manners
and bearing. He is without personal
enemies among the influential men of
the party. He will carry the State of
Ohio in the October election by ma
iority that will exercise no slight effect
upon the prospects of the November
contest. M6nifestly the argument of
availability was also with his sup
porters at Chicago.
The name of the man of whom these
things may be said without exagger-
alton the Post and Tribune places at the
head of its columns with unaffected
pleasure. 1t can nhnreservedly commend
him to the enthusiastic support OF its
readers. 1t does not doubt that the
Republican and the Independent vote
of the country will unite to applaud his
nomination, that his election will sure
ly follow, and that his Administration
will be pure, honorable, enlightened
and iust.-Detroit Post and Tribune.

How Italian. LabOrers Live.

A number of Italian laborers have
been employed on the great hotel at
Long Beach, and their manner of life is
so peculiar as to be worthy of notice.
Two hundred of these men abide in an
old tent or shed, sleeping so close to-
gether that their persons touch. Their
cooking is exceedingly slight. Oatmeal
dropped raw in cold water and half a
loaf of bread comprise a breakfast for
one Half loaf of bread, with lard as
a substitute for butter, two smoked her.
rings and cold water serve for dinner.
Supper is generally a repetition of the
matutinal repast, and this programme
continues week after week, the Sunday
making no exception. They are thus
enabled each to live at a cost of less
than one dollar per week, probably not
more than seventy-five cents. They
pay four cents per loaf for bread, one
cent each for smoked herring, and a
dimes value of raw oatmeal lasts sew
eral days On such diet they seem to
retain the most robust health, and can
endure severe exposure and exertion.
Gambling is an inherent and absorbing
practice, the games lasting often from
dark until daylight. The general plan
is to place pennies in a hat, which is
then reversed, and all that comes down
heads up are retained by the toSser,
while tails are replaced in the deer

peared on the amateur boards two or
three times with more or less success.
He will be seventeen in December and
is a large, manipulating fellow, though
he is still High School boy. Matlack's
father is a very respectable gentleman
in affluent circumstances. He lives on
Marshall Street, in an aristocratic quar-
ter of the city, and he is well known in
business circles and in society. Miss
Elvia and young Matlack became ac-
quainted three months ago, though it is
limited that her husband had long adj
mired her and was anxious 20 be intro
duced long before that time. The
courtship was as short as the marriage
was sudden. The family of Matlack
had no acquaintance whatever with Miss
Crox and did not know such lady was
in existence until the notice of the mar
rage was read at the family breakfast
table. The parents of the young couple
are reticent and are sorry that publicity
has been given to the affair. The CroX' S
seem to take a cheerful view of the sit
uation, but Mr.. Matlack is very much
worried. He called on Mr.. and Mrs.
Crox on Friday and intimated that he
would send the boy into the country
and possibly steps viii be taken to an
null the marriage on account of the
youth of the parties. The affair is con-
sidered a most interesting one by a
large circle of people and future devel-
opments are looked for with interest,"

Three parties living in our village concerned
in the late burglary are under arrest A hear
ing was had on Saturday, one or mere of the
parties confessing their guilt I refrain from
publishing their names at present; it is sur
prise to most of US that they should have en-
gagged in such transaction. The burglary
was committed about three weeks ago in the
stores of Cochran Brothers and Fred Utzler !;
the latter lost cigars, watch, clothing and
money to the value of about $75; the former
goods to the amount of $50 and an unsuccess-
ful attempt to open the safe was made. The
detection of the thieves was the outcome of a
dream. Mr.. F. Utzler dreamed dream (but
saw no vision) to the effect that his stolen
goods could be found in certain shed near
by. Relating the dream to his father and
brother. the latter Immediately instituted a
search and found box of the stolen cigars.
The person on whom the suspicion rested was
then away from home and in Armenia OH
GERS were sent to arrest him and when ques-
toned he acknowledged the crime and named
other persons associated with him in it, two OF
whom have since been arrested. A greater
part Of the stolen goods were found in an old
barn owned by Gilbert Shepard.
