THE CREATION.


GEN ERAL
The word of God opens with the record OF
the worlds creation. When it took place,
neither reason, science, nor revelation tells
us; that it must have taken place is evident.
Though written nearly thirty five hundred
years ago, the opening chapters of fScripture
accord with the conclusions of the latest
science, which tells us: |. That the universe
must have had beginning 2 That at its
beginning the earth must have been in disor-
der and darknes4. g. That there must have
been lightoEer the waste long before the sun
was visible. A. That the development of the
earth to its present condition must have been
by successive steps. 5. That these periods
must have been very nearly. If not precisely
inthe Mosaic order. 8. That man made his
appearance ON the earth at q comparatively
late period in its history. :. THAT'S n se III 4
anQeR u lnAnlzzk aatsasssyss elialage
has taken place In the eurth's crust. Somuch
we know at present concerning the cosmo-
gony or origin and formation of the earth.
How could Moses have known it, thousands
of years before modern science was born, and
at q time when the widest and most childish
legends were related concerning the creation
and constitution of nature !? There could
have been no other means of information
than that of q revelation from on high. 1t
may be that the picture of the creative per-
iods was unfolded before his eyes it may be
that his pen was guided by divine wisdom !;
but certain it is that he wrote the truth, for
every new insight into astronomy. geology,
chemistry, and the other sciences respecting
matter, as well as into philology, ethnology,
the sciences respecting man, brings new
proofs of the honesty and veracity of his
record.

The Democratic mud operators
seem to forget that all their ammu-
milton has been CONDEMNED as worth
less. General Garfield's record as a
statesman has been built up almost
entirely since these old and feeble
scandals were first published. In the
face of them the Republicans OF Ohio
have continued to send him to Con-
gress with larger and larger MAORI
tiles, and their final verdict on them
was the election of a Legislature
whose Republican members voted
unanimously to make him Senator
The opinion of friends and neigh
bors is likely to have full as much
influence on the country as that of
Democratic vilifiers.

The " Y. Tribune says If there is
a single Republican who is not in
clined to give hearty support to the
Chicago ticket, he is conspicuously
successful in keeping himself con-
cealed.

The Cumberland Daily Neacs says
The debatable ground In this Presi-
Dental campaign will be compare
lively limited.
The whole number of electoral
votes is 1863. of which 231 are cast bv
the Northern States. and 1873 by the
Southern. The number necessary to
the choice of the President is 1856.
There is bare possibility that the
Democrats will net carry Virginia.
This will depend upon the action of
Senator Mahone's party of Readjus-
ters. But we prefer. in our calcula-
ton, to set down the "Solid South. )"
with her 1873 votes, on the side of
Democracy. With these 1873 votes,
the Democratic candidate would re-
quire AZ in the Northern States to
give him the 1856 which are requls-
ite to an election.
Here are the States that will be
fought over inch by inch, and from
which, if to be had anywhere, the
necessary Democratic vote must be
drawn:
New York .........,.......35 New Jersey....... 9
Connecticut........... Indiana ...... ........5
1t will be seen that if the Demo
cratic candidate could carry New
| York and Indiana. they would give
/ 81 votes, or three more than the
needed At. Precisely the same result
would follow if he could carry New
York, Connecticut and New Jersey,
though he lost Indiana. But it will
be seen that even if he could obtain
the 30 votes of Connecticut, New
Jersey and Indiana, he would be II
short of the needed AZ. Therefore,
he must carry New York, or make
up for its loss by getting the votes of
some other Northern State or States.
This then, would seem to narrow
the fight down to New York, and
the Republicans will 60 into the con-
test in that State splendidly equip
ped, with strong candidates and a
united party. We have the machin-
cry of the State Republican land Gen.
Arthur is one of the shrewdest and
most skilllul politicians in the State.
Are not our chances first-rate for a
victory? We should unhesitatlngly
say yes.

We see from our eastern exchanges
that in "s,v,raI towns in Indiana the
-Gsrfielltneh are annoyed by finding
the figures "329' on their FROM doors
in the morning; they find ''329'
worked on the back of their coats
on the fences on the sidewalks: on
the gate posts-eyerywhere they see
''329.' They are mad! The demo-
cratic small boy is evidently taking
part in politics in that State. The
figures 500 represent the 1929 that
Garfield received from Cakes Ames
in the Credit Mobllier steal.

troll 8 Democratic administration and
a Democratic congress, if they shall
be elected this falf." So far, It can
not be truthfnlly said that soatherners
have attempted to take charge of the
Democratic party. In every political
movement at Washington in which
they have participated since their re-
construction, they have recognized the
northern democracy as the most nu-
merous, and, therefore, entitled to
.lead, and have sustained its repre-
sentatives in everything that has been
undertaken ; and, to suppose, as Mr..
Cenk[ing assumes, that anything in
the interest Of sectionallsm and Sc
cession could be enacted, is to take
it for granted that Democratic con-
gressmen and senators from the Mid
die and Border states will assent to
such measures, and slns sacrifice the
union and the interests those COM
monwealths fought for, and of which
their representatives in congress are
the most sacred and most trusted
guardians. To do this, would be to
abandon the condolences that Ameri-
a communities usually place in
those whom they select for positions
of authority, and to assent to Mr..
Conkling's other views, would be to
resort to untrled principles in the
choice of a chief magistrate.
One of the questions, and perhaps
the pertinent one, raised by the speech
we are revie ewing is, will Mr.. Garfield,
after declaring ''that the man who
attempts to get up a political excite
ment In this country on the old Sec
tional issues will find himself without
9 party and withou, support" and
after having been accepted as the
candidate and representative of con-
servatism and moderation, acqniesce
in the degradation demanded of HIM
by tie stalwarts that are attempting
to rush the Republican party from its
intended safe policies to the extreme
OF wanton and implacable sectional
ism? If he is prepared for such hui
initiation, the best thing sensible Re-
publicans can do is to suffer him to
be defeated.

SPEECH.


Mr.. Conkling's late speech was
little more than another elaborate and
premeditated denunciation Of alleged
democratic poverty, insignifcance and
bad intentions. Beyond .he assertion
"that a successful candidate is but
the exponent OF his party" there was
little in it that has not been answered.
a practical efdr, it was partial
ID sdGdonse and destitute ofsforce.
= laelmfeveh the susual elegance of
If. Gonkling's dietion, and left his
hearers in uncertainty as to whom he
hit hardest, his party associates, Or
his political foes.
Mr.. Conkling commenced by en-
phasizing a sentiment read from Gen.
Aeykr to fsep, Arthur, csthat
Ae4bem1crstic party, as now consti-
tuted and controlled, is not a fit party
to trust wittFthe control of the gener-
