right i'm the the channel off, of DetOur.
The Captain says he has been in and out
there a number of, times and never
struck anything before. That coming
out this time he was directly ON the
ranges. and was watching them him
self. He saws it is the same, rock on
which the schooner Senator struck the
captain of which, had been sailing. to-,
Lake Superior for years, making twenty
or twenty-five trips year, and thought
himself perfectly familiar with the
channel. . Capt. Bullen lis of the opinion
that it is rock not lover six or eight
feet across, and says there is plenty Of
water on each side of it, and that he has
passed a number of times On either side
without touching it, but he now knows
where it is. The singular part of the
story is, the captain claims to have had
Ii premonitiOn of the disaster, having, a
night or so previous in his dreams, seen
rocks and his. yesseI;filled with water.
So Strongly was he impressed with i'm
pending danger that he, although ready
to leave in the night, put it off until day
light, and told $ his innate lie felt that
something was going to Happen and to
avoid it if possible, hewas on the -l0Ok-

was unable to do so. The water, came
in fast, and by keeping the pumps going
and 'bailing they could just manage to
keep the water from gaining.Es There

. We, place, with pleasure at the head of
our columns the names of candidates
nominated at the National, Republican
convention at Chicagosf for Presi ident and
Vice PreSident-Generat aJamesaA. Gar
field. one of 0hiO's most, honOred and
gifted citizens, for President, and chat
Of General Chester A. Arthur, o. New
York, for Vice Rresident...1 General Gar
field lis pre-eminently a man OF the
people, of humble origin, like the la
mented Lincoln. he commenced at the
bottom of the ladder, and by his indOm-
fiitable will perseverance, and industry
has worked himself up to a position
honorable alike to himself and the great
state he represents. He started in life
an humble labOrer, end fer years bydays
work supported his widowed mother and
his sisters, and procured means for his ed
ucatiOn. That he made good dIse IF his Op-
pOrtunities is evipced from the fact that
later years found him president of
one of the leading colleges Of the west.
An ardent lover of liberty, he enlisted
under the banner of the Republican
party and has ever been among its
staunchest supporters. At the breaking
out of the rebellion he volunteered his
services to his country and was placed at
the head of one of the Ohio regiments
and in the terrible conflict that followed
he was ever true to the cause and won
honorable distinction on the field of bat
tie. Elected to Congress before the close
of the war he soon made his ability felt
and was speedily recognized as a leader
in the House, Wherehe has been cOntinu-
Ously since. Last year he was named as
a prominent candidate to succeed Thur
man in the q. S. Senate from Ohio and the
great political contest in that state last
year centered on the contest for the
Senatorship, each party seeking to Sc
cure the Legislature. The contest was vir-
tually between Garfield and Thurman
for the Senatorship. The Republicans
secured good majority in the LegisIa-
ture and James A. Garfield was elected
man on the 4th of next March in that
important position. But the majority
of the National convention finding that
the contest between the leading candi-
dates was hopeless settled upon Gar
field as the man best calculated
to harmOmize all the elements of
the party and his nomination was the
result. That the choice was good
one is shown by the cordiality his nom
inatiOn is received in all sections of the
country and the enthusiasm it creates
upon all sides. He went into the con-
ventiOn warm advocate of John Sher-
man as candidate, and his speech in
presenting Shermans name %was one of
the best made in the convention, and
we have no doubt had a great influ-
enece in eventually bringing about his
nomination. /
Generals Chester! A. Arthur of New
York, the candidate for Vice President,
while not so prominent man as HaF!
field, is by no means unknown. fOE years
he was chairman of the Republican
state central committee of New York,
and fought, Il several succesf9l
political campaigns f9r the party in
that state. His sympathies have.
party and he is cOnsidered ali ESPECIALLY
strong man in the Empire state. He
was long collector Of the port of New
York, and all will remember the great
Flight GOnkling made in the Senate to pre-
vent his removal from that position.
His honesty has never been questioned,
and his worth was recognized by many
IOf the leading and influential Democrats
of that city, whose appreciation of his
character; was openly expressed during
that contest. Both men are good ones
and the ticket presented for the support
ofthesritnens sof this RepubficS sisI a
bstfOh gone, and enc that we believe Is
destined to win. The duty of all who
have the good Of the country at heart
and who believe in the principles of the
Republicafi marty, is to throw aside all
personal preferences as to the candidate
and join theranks of the great army ranks
of Republicans, show a bold front to
the enemy and push onto victory at the
polls in November. The campaign has
begun. The fight will be warm one,
but with united party we believe that
a grand victory is assured and that this
contest will settle forever the question
over which the brave boys in blue fought
so brayely and won, but which contest
has been re0pened by the Confederate
Democracy of the south; aided by their
allies of the north, hoping that they
might gain by the ballot what they
fought for and lost when they appealed
to the sword.
