WE have received the very gratifying informa-
ton from the secretary OF the Garfield and Arthur
club Of Warren, that the Republicans OF that
town are wide awake and aggressive. At mass
meeting OF Republicans a club was formed last
Saturday Differed "a follows President Hon.
Denslow Upham; vice-presidents, Captain j. Il.
Eldredge and S. T. Van Deusen secretary W. A.
Averill treasurer, John l.. Gleason; executive
committee f. c, Lamb, and j. c. Gleason. The
meeting was spirited A Garfield and Arthur flag
will be raised at Warren village on Friday next,
at one o clock u. NJ, when addresses will be made
by Ex-Governor John W. Stewart, Hon. William
p. Dillingham; and Hiram A. Huse Esq. We urge
every Republican to be present and bring his
Democratic neighbors
STATEMENTS made at political meetings seldom
reach beyond those within sound OF the speakers
voice Those made in newspapers have a much
wider circulation. We gladly assist in dissent
mating the exclusive information which Mr.
Thomas S. Maginnis has, to the effect that our
national debt has not been reduced single dol
| lar since the war, and that Senator Edmunds re-
ceved from the lobby very large sum Of money
| for supporting in the senate a certain financial
| measure. Ridiculous as such statement is, 1t
was actually made by this gentleman In speech
| in Calais recently. 1t might have passed current
among few ignorant men had not Hon. Albert
| Dwnell nailed it upon the spot by asking him to
produce his proofs. This the gentleman was, Of
course, unable to do, and was obliged to back
down.
| In a little circular which has been sent to us,
The woman's Christian Temperance Union Of Del
aware, Ohio, (the birthplace Of the president and
the early home OF Mrs. Hayes invite temper
| ance people everywhere irrespective OF country,
party, sect and organization to unite in a testi-
monia in honor Of Mrs Lucy Webb Hayes Of the
white house The pure and consistent life OF this
noble woman in the prominent and difficult posi-
ton OF mistress OF the presidential mansion-the
simple dignity with which she has carried out
her Christian principles and her heroic stand for
total abstinence, entities her to the respect and
love of all good people To give this sentiment a
tangible and enduring form, it is proposed that a
|
one Of our best artists and placed in the white
house Ito perpetuate the influence of her noble
example," And In order that individuals, insti-
tutions, ETC., may secure copy OF this picture,
fine engraving will be made Of it, and copy will
be sent to every person who contributes five dol
lars or more to the testimonial.
DEMING's last letter to the Boston Journal says
"The evidences Of discomfort and dissatisfaction
among the Democracy of the state multiply. The
county convention Of the party in Washington
county WAS held on Saturday last. At its close a
we-known member Of the party came out, say
ing 1t the last one he should attend. His love
of party was not strong enough to hold him to il
at the sacrifice OF his self-respect and the risk OF
suffering the treatment to which he is subject
under the present system of dictation which IL
the law of the party. Said welknown Demo
! crat in Burlington the other day: The Demo
cratic campaign in this state is conducted on the
Q menagerie principle. II. Atkins is the keeper
and he exhibits through the state some mild little
fellow whom he points out to the audience as
. specimen of the terrible southern brigadier, ex
n planning how perfectly harmless and really anus
ing the animal is, and then calling him to thu
front to prove it. The principal result thus IA
has been to make Republican votes"
II there is anything in a NAME " Good Com
pany," the title of new literary magazine
should step at once into full favor with the read
ing public, We say new mazagine," thoug
the publication is now in its fifth volume. Tn
magazine has a large staff of the best writers @
the day. Among the regular contributors ar
L such authors as Charles Dudley Warner, Edwar
> Eggleston, George NJ. Towleand Harriet Beeche
d Stowe. A distinctive feature OF the magazine
the fact that it has no continued stories Tn
d contributions are chiefly short stories and brie
: articles on popular subjects, treated in a fresh
/ racy style. 1t requires more skill and care t
write good short story than good continue
/. story. The short stories in Hdrpers and othe
magazines are more generally read for their crisl
" breezy interest than are the larger articles W
