A Good Place to Stag From.
cincinnati Special June 2D to Chicago Tr

Cincinnati Special June 2D to Chicago Trib-
Doubtless God could have made better ber-
ry than the strawberry, but doubtless God
never did. Doubtless there is a worse place
for a national convention than Cincinnati; but
doubtless the fact has not been called to the
attention of political parties otherwise the
Democratic party would have made the selec-
ton of that particular worse city. The princi-
pal hotels. the Grand aud the Burnet, are far
from each other and both are long distance
from the convention hall. In passing from one
of these hotels TO the other the
weary delegates and visitors toll up
hill and try to hold themselves from falling
down hill; in either case they perspire and fan,
and fan and perspire. There is a conspiracy
among clearinghouse keepers to rob the visit
ing public, and the visiting public trudges
YEARLY along the crooked, narrow streets with
it's carpet-bag in hand, seeking lower prices.
Have you any rooms to rent?' asks man
in linen buster, with gripsack and evercoat
in his hand.
81 have beautiful room," responds the
landlady. The traveller is shown up three
flights of stairs and ushered into a room six-by-
nine, containing a sofa-bed a chair and wash
stand.
What is the price,"
six dollars day for two persons, replies
the urbane madame.
''Does it include meals?" inquiries the poor
wretch.
'Ns."
Then the gripsack, the overcoat, and the linen
buster make their exit, and the unfortunate
convention visitor don't know whether to be
glad or sorry that the price is too high for his
pocket book All the boarding-house keepers
in Cincinnati seemed to have moved yesterday
or to be on the eve of moving tomorrow. The
halls are piled full of furniture, and
the rooms are empty. They have no
beds proper. The apology for bed consists of
haircloth sofa extended on carpetless floor
in room with curtainless, shadeless window
The restaurants are study. They seem to be
relics of far-off better time. 1t would appear
that they are kept by somebody's poor relations
and furnished with the cast-off linen, cutlery,
and china of the rich protector. The napkins
look like regenerated wash-rags; the bill-of-fare
is literally spattered with the soup of a score of
dinners; and the walters look as if they had
been serving on shipboard of q long voyage of
perpetual storms without single lull of suf-
fcient duration to permit of a change of linen.

since remained q dead letter. The only
change effected is that while formerly the Of
ficeholders were "assessed," they are now
asked for voluntary contributions. The
two terms have come to be synonymous on
account of the Interpretation given them by
those who employ them.
The outrage of compelling people who
certainly earn no more than enough to sup
port their families comfortably would not
be as grievous if they were required to pay
these assessments but once IN term. But
it will be observed that this circular emanates
from the Congressional committee. 1t will
be followed in few days by similar de-
mand from the national committee, and SUBJ
sequently by county, city and town COM
mittees. To all of these demands the unfor-
tunate clerks will be compelled to respond
on penalty of sacrificing their means of sub
sistence, and it becomes tax on their re-
sources that only the best paid officials can
afford to bear.
The practice of levying assessments for
political purposes has been universally con-
demned. 1t prostitutes the offices and Off
GERS of the government to the basest of pur-
poses. 1t makes the tenure of mans Office
dependent upon his willingness to pay the
money he has fairly earned for the support
of his family over to lot of greedy cormo-
rants. who absorb large portion of it them
selves, and use the remainder to corrupt the
electors of the country. No honest party
would resort to such means, and no honest
executive would permit it.

This afternoon Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood,
counsel for Jessie Raymond, filed an appeal
to the court in general term from the decis-
ion of Justice Wylie in the case of Ray
moud vs.. Hill, sustaining the demurrer and
giving Judgment for the defendant. The ap-
peal is in the ordinary form, and recites, in
addition, the refusal of the court below to
grant leave to amend the original bill. Mrs.
Lockwood was alone, and after she had filed
the papers, Jessie Raymond, the now famous
claimant, was met at q scalp ticket-sellers
not far away endeavoring to purchase rail-
road ticket at an even lower rate than the
scalper charged. She was not aware of what

what Was Thought of Garfield In 1876.

That the reader may Judge what his Re-
publican constituents thought of James A.
Garfield in 1876, at the time he ran 5000
behind his ticket, in congressional race, we
reproduce the following resolutions, which
were adopted at convention of independent
Republicans of his district opposing his re-
election to Congress:
RESOLVED, That it is useless and hypocritical
for any political party to declare for reform
in its platforms, papers and public addresses
while it insists upon returning to high official
place and power men who have been notorious.

which render reform necessary and urgent; that
there is no other man to-day officially connect

ly preferred more and graver charges of cor
ruption than are publicly made and abundant
ly sustained against James A. Garfield. the
representative of this congressional district
and the nominee of the Republican convention
for reelection.
That since he first entered Congress to this
day there is scarcely an instance in which
rings and monopOlies have been arrayed
against the interests of the people that he has
been found active in speech or vote upon the
side of the latter, but in almost every case he
has been the ready champion of rings ano
That we especially charge him with venality
and cowardice in permitting Benjamin f. But
Ter to attach to the appropriation bill of 1875
that ever to be remembered infamy, the salary
steal, and IN speaking and voting for that mea
sure upon its final passage.
That we further arraign and denounce him
for his corrupt connection with. the credit mo-
bilier. for his false denials thereof before his
constituents. for his perjured denial thereof
before committee of Congress, for fraud upor
his constituents in circulating among them &
pamphlet purporting to set forth the finding
of said committee and the evidence against
him, when in fact material portions thereof
were omitted and garbled.-
That we further arraign and charge him will

as chairman of the committee on appropria
tion for $4,000 to the DeGolyer pavement ring
to aid said ring in imposing upon the people Of

MINNESOTA NEWS.

It is reported that certain well known
citizen of Owatonna determined to drive
out of that town set of ''soiled doves" so
he went and stoned their house, and pre-
sented one day an old navy revolver, fright
ening them badly. On Thursday of last
week, one of them known as Mrs. Baker had
the would-be moral hero arrested for assault,
whereupon the city justice assessed him the
small sum of $5. At last accounts, that
gentleman had abandoned the role of re-
former aud moral hero. <
The Episcopal diocesan council, which
have been in session at Faribault, closed its
twenty third annual session on Thursday
evening, June II, by resolving itself into a
committee of the whole on the question of
diocesan missions. Interesting addresses were
made by Bishop Whipple, Rev. DR.. Thomas
and Gen. Simpson, of st. Paul, aud by Rev.
Messrs. Coleman and Smith, Indian clergy
men from Leach and Red Lakes. The ne
cessity of mission work was ably get forth,
and the appeals in its behalf were undoubt-
eddy fruitful of much good.
Anoka City Union, June 18: As We go to

THERE is an army of over hundred thou
sand Office holders in the country. A fair
average of their salaries would be about a
thousand dollars year. The levy of two
per cent. assessment upon these persons
gives the Republican Congressional commit
tee corruption fund of at least two millions
of dollars. Is there any person in the coun-
try idiotic enough to think that this i'm
mense sum can be expended for legiti-
mate purposes? Yet every Republican paper
will be bowling from this time forth about
the "bar'I'' of the Democratic candidate.

THE DaMoCRArIC CONTENTION

There is national contrast. Look here

At Chicago, the corruptions of twenty
years burst into terrible struggle to over
throw civil liberty and to establish
monarchy in its place. One half of that
convention were openly in favor of the trea-
son. 1t failed because such creatures as
Washburne and Window proved double
traitors, first to their country and then to
their co-conspirators. Personal ambition
was the sop to neutralize these bobtail ele-
ments of the party of plumber. Behold the
candidates voted for by the Republican
convention, with the exception
perhaps of Edmunds, loaded
down with the spoils of Office.
Blaine, with the greatest magnetic power
and really the best of the lot, soiled by rail-
road contracts and speculation, and strongly
afflicted with fainting fits in great political
emergencies, Grant, the silent wreck of
great name and perpetual warning against
the path that leads to political death, and
Garfield with his record of Credit Mobilier
perjury, of DeGolyer bribery, of salary grab
steals, of New Orleans conspiracy to rob the
people, and Arthur tried and convicted by
his own party and turned out
of Office by its chief as a common sneak
thief-these are the model statesmen of great
moral ideas. These are the representatives
of party that has for twenty years, in the
civil administration of the government, ex-
hausted the ingenuity of rascality and proven
to the world to what depths of political de-
graduation free people can descend.
Look at the Democratic convention at
Cincinnati. Who can breathe word of
dishonor against the names of Seymour, or
of Tilden, Bayard, Thurman,
Payne, Jewett, Hendricks and
long roll of names without reproach and
without fear. Here are the chosen dele
gates OF the whole country reunited and of
ecery State redeemed-men worthy to an
swer for the land of Washington and of Jack
son, and of Clinton and Wright and of Doug
las, men worthy of the heroes and statesmen
who established on the American continent
free government for free people.
