General Coffroth, extending to him their
sincere thanks for the speech delivered
by him in Congress on the 18th of last

TIE Democratic National Convention

with the next issue Of our paper a sup
plement containing the entire proceed
inCs. The convention will be composed
Of some of the ablest and best known
Democrats in the Union, each State
having taken care, as general rule, to
select as delegates its most trusted party
leaders for the important business com
mitted TO their hands. Unlike most
similar conventions that have heretofore
been held, it will contain remarkably
few instructed delegations, probably not
more than four out of the thirty-eight
States having expressed any direct pre-
ference as between the candidates. The
convention will, Therefore, be a body
peculiarly fitted for mutual consultation
and the fullest and fTeest interchange 0t
opinion between its members before the
time for decisive action arrives. Fore
warned by the stupendOus blunder of the
/ Chicago convention, the Democrats who
/ will assemble at Cincinnati will be fore
armed, and will take care not to put for
( ward two candidates like Garfield anC
/ Arthur, and by so doing be compelled
| from the very start to wage defensive
instead of an aggressive campaign. We
/ feel entirely confident that the cOnven
+ ton, in the conclusions at which it vii
! arrive, will fully meet the expectations
of the Democracy of the whole country
( and that no Electoral Commission, no
any other fraudulent continuance, vii
ever be permitted to interfere with th
verdict of the people in favor of its nom
inees. The convention will contain 73'
delegates, and under the two-thirds rul
492 votes will be necessary to make
nomination. The eight Territories an
the District Of Columbia will not be rep
resented by two delegates from each, a
they were at the Chicago convention

THE Republican organs are now en-
gagged in furnishing their readers with a
large and varied assortment of incidents,
said TO have occurred in the childhood
life of Garfield. The voters Of this
country, who make and unmake Presi-
dents. are not particularly interested in
manufactured "reminiscences of Gar
fields childhood, either at the age when
he was "muling and puking in his
nurses arms - or at the period shortly
subsequent to that when he proudly ar
Iayed himself in pants and went willing
ly or lazily, as the case may have been,
to school. All these incidents in
Garfield's youth are trities light as air
compared to the real business now in
hand, and what the people propose to
find out is what manner of man James
4. Garfield has shown himself to be
since he appeared upon the public stage,
and at length, by sudden turn of the
political wheel, has been thrown to the
surface as a candidate for the PTesiden-
cy. Does his career in Congress during
seventeen years prove him to be man
of integrity, or does any part of it show
the very reverse? Does his Congress
siOnal record show that the people can
safely trust him in the Presidential office,
or that it would be hazardous expert
ment to invest him with executive pow
er? These ale the questions which will
now be pushed to the front, and in the
solution of which the people are specially
concerned. 1t is almost five months
until the election, and when Mr.. Gar
fields opponent is put in nomination
next week at Cincinnati, and the cam.
paigu is fairly started, the men who viii
decide between them by their votes viii
be afforded ample time and opportunity ty
to sift the false from the true, and thu:
