Garfield IN NesO York.

THE hEPUBLlCAN CANDlDAE
TAKES UP HIS ABODE AT THE
FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL.
SYRACUSE, Aug. 4.-f anything was
needed to demonstrate the apathy OF the
Republicans of Syracuse toward their
Presidential candidate, it was furnished
the demonstration in Vanderbilt square
in to-day, The Garfield train halted in
Vanderbilt square at six minutes past
IL this morning The Republicans had
extensively advertised the show in ad-
vance, and extraordinary means were
taken 70 attract a crowd.
As the train approached the city
Federal salute was fired by officers of
the National Guard. Inasmuch as
Vanderbilt square is in the heart of the
city, it was expected that the exhibition,
being free, would attract big crowd.
The business men whose stores line
either side of the square we're invited to
display bunting and hang out banners,
but emily two flags were voluntarily dis |
played, one the property of the city, and
the other over the building belonging to
the Hon. Andrew ID. White Minister
to Berlin. The proprietor Of the Rem
ingtoL House, which Tammany Hall
occupied during the last State Conven-
tion, displayed few small ten-by-twelve |
Gags, but this action on his part was |
taken with an eye to catching the crowd. |
The landlord is sound Democrat and |
an enthusiastic Hancock man. When |
the train stopped on the square it was |
surrounded by thousand persons, not |
more. Garfield stepped briskly on to
the platform car, which was run up to |
tte rear of the special train, and exhiS- |
ed himself to the gaping Republicans
AID curious Democrats. who joined
the crowd to make 1t respectable in
quality and numbers. A feeble attempt
was made TO salute Garfield with cheers,
which was started by Pension Agent
Poole and Congressman Frank Hiscock,
but there was no enthusiasm manifes-
ted. Said leading Republican after
the show had lett the city: "lf Blaine or
Grant bad stood on that car the Repub-
licans would have split their tbroats
with cheering"
After Garfield had made few re-
marks, which disappointed all who heard
them, he retired into palace car, and
Congressman Conger delivered speech
in a dreary monotone, which soon scat
tered the crowd. Before the exhibition
left for the East baggage wagon was
backed up against the baggage car,and
fresh stock of wines and liquors was un-
loaded. Congressman Hiscock, with a
recklessness that was alarming, proceed
ed TO open champagne bottles with i'm
punity, and the Federal office-holders
who were invited TO enter the car were
treated in lavish manner.
The Hon. Ellis FL. Roberts of the Uti-
ca Herald joined the exhibition in this
city. AS he entered the car in which
Garfield sat he stepped up to the candl
date and extended his hand. Garfield
simply touched the tips of Roberts fin
gers, and turned away. Probably Gar
field received a severer denunclation
from Roberts in 1878 than from ally
other Republican editor in the State.
The Syracusans who accompanied the
show to New Y ork were the Hon. j. j.
Belden, who presented Garfield with an
elegant bouquet in this city, which is to
be sent to Mrs. Garfield; Carol E..
Smith, who severely condemned Gar
field in 1873; the Hon. Frank Hiscock,
who is personal friend of Garfield, and
who has entertained him at his residences;
and State Senator Dennis Mccarthy
Mccarthy, in a speech in tbs city few
weeks ago declared that Garfield is a
man of the people "When he meets
me" said the Senator, she always How
are you, Dennis p" After the exhibI-
tion left the city prominent Republl-
can exclaimed, 81 have seen a bigger
crowd than that drawn together by a
runaway horse" The Republicans pri-
vaLely admit that the show was failure
in every respect.
