In speech in New York last evening
in which Brother-in-Law Sharpe sought
most earnestly to prove that Garfield is
not an " incongruous candidate''-what-
ever that means, or whoever said he was
-Brother-in-Law Sharpe's I" allusion to
the record of General Garfield on the
field of battle or in congress was received
with loud expressed appreciation. y
Brother-in-Law Sharpe must have re-
ferred to Garfeld's 8 resignation from the
army to run for Congress, to the Credit
Mobilier business ani the DeGolyer
5000 fee. Surely no other allusiOns
could arouse such enthusiasm among
Logan, Robson, Belknap, Dorsey and
the rest of that illustrious company.

GARFIELD has made as complete a
surrender to the bloody shirt faction OF
his party as he did to those who prosti-
suite the civil service to keep it in place.
After he had declared in a public address
for the complete separation of congress
sional influence from executive appoint
ments he plainly promised in his letter of
acceptance that the political bosses should
all have supreme control in their respec-
tive baronies. Now he puts HIM
self into the hands of the blood
shriekers. He was brought to New York
to commit himself to the bloody shirt
business, and for two days has been
encouraging by :his presence and aid the
appeals of such as Logan and Blaine to
the worst passions of sectional hate. lie
will find that his prophecy of two years
ago will be realized, when he said: The
man who attempts to get up 4 political
excitement in this country Oh the old
sectional issues will find himself without
a party and without support"

last night John Cessna and the young

that have been published against the late
collector Arthur. Let us see; it was

would see that it was honestly and eff
ciently administered. If Cessna keeps
on Hayes will reduce his campaign sub

An Internal Machine.

A letter has just been received at the
dead letter Office which is an internal
machine in small way. 1t was dated at
Pittsburgh, Pa, and directed to Henry s.
West, of that city. No such person could
be found. Upon opening it at the dead
letter Office it was found to contain five
heads of parlor matches, together with an
ounce of powder, all carefully wrapped in
white paper. The sender evidently ex-
prected that the force of stamping would
ignite the matches and fire the powder,
surprising the stamper and perhaps burn
ing his face and hands.

SaInplillg Tobacco


Several recognized tobacco samplers arc
in town, and at work sampling tobacco.
Among tho most prominent are Messrs. +.
G. Lindc, New York; E. w. DickersOn,
Philadelphia and Henry Forrest, Of this
city.
Among the packers who have had u por-
ton of their tobacco sampled arc Skiles 4
Frey, John Moore, Teller Brothers, Frey
& Wcidler, Tag & Son and II. c. Moore.
1t is gratifying to learn that thorough
examination of the crop by recognized cx-
perts, shows that the "damago" which,
was apprehendcd earlier in the season is
no heavier than that of former years. OF
212 cases sampled in one Of the warehouses
only three required repacking, and this is
about fair average Of the loss by other
packers. On the whole the crop il prov
ing to be very good one, both in color
and quality.

The Lancaster Turnpike.

Residents and property owners along the
line of the Philadelphia and Lancaster

on the Pennsylvania railroad and the

protest against the occupation Of its road

ton, known as the Atlantic and Pacific
telegraph company because the telegraph
company has only road way rights, because
the telegraph lines destroy valuable foil
age and causes accidents, and because its

Talk about outragcs upon the people.

paper in the county denounce the recent
assessments made upon the candidates by
tho county committee? The assessments
are to say the very best of it, outrageous
and beyond every former precedent. If
the Republican ticket county, state and
national, cannot be elected without such
assessments upon candidates, it is about
time for the Republican party to ''shut up

The other day the Republicans were
quite visibly affected to an unusual de-
gree of confidence by the publication in
the Pittsburgh papers and the republica-
tion in the eastern press of an alleged
offer by one "John W. Goodman,
Seventh Avenue hotel, Pittsburgh" to
bet S. 900 that Pennsylvania will give
Garfield 2o,Ooo majority, 1000 that New
York will give Garfield 5000 majority,
and Sis, 600 that Garfield will be elected
We suspected at the time that Goodman
was very transient guest, and SO it has
proved. All efforts to find him have fail
ed, and St. Louis gentleman who hap
pened to be passing through Pitts
burgh and stopped off to take all his
bets has left security there that if he
turns up he can be accommodated to the
amount of $50, 900. The hotel clerk says
Goodman's name is not on the register
and they know nothing about him, but
since the mythical bet was offered a great
many kilograms have arrived for him.
Betting on elections is very wicked, but
when the Republican sinners force their
challenges upon the meek and lowly
Democrats nowadays the response seems

they had tied up for two hours, and then

get into the channel and then see-sawing

making preparations for a special effort, SO
