Republican Nominees.

On the Seth ballot, Gen. Jas. A. Gar
field, of Ohio, was nominated for Presi-
dent. Up to the 34th ballot, he had not
received more than two votes, when he
received lin the 35th, 50,-and in the
36th, 800, which nominated him. That
ballot stood as follows -
Garfield, 399; Grant, 306; Blaine, AZ;
Washburne, 5; Sherman, 3. The pre-
vious supporters Of Blaine and Sherman
nominated Garfield.
The supporters of Grant stuck to him
to the end. In the final vote the dele
cation from Virginia gave 19 votes for
Grant and for Garfield On motion Of
Conkling, Of n. Y, the nomination was
made unanimous. The nominee for
Vice President is Chester A. Arthur, Of
New York. He is personal friend of
Senator Conkling, and was nominated
to conciliate that gentleman who made
such a gallant fight for Grant. The
Chicago correspondent of the Baltimore
San says
at seems queer that a convention
which Endorsed the civil~service policy
Of Mr.. Hayes should put on the ticket
for Vice President the man whom Mr..
Hayes removed as collector of the port
of New York because of his violation of
civil service rules and of alleged inef-
ficiency. Now that the nominations
are made so differently from what had
been expected and cool common sense
is coming to the surface, the prospects
are discussed with some calmness.
The judgment of the most experience
ed republicans is that the ticket is not
strong one, and there is really no gen.
uine enthusiasm over it. Gen. Garfield's
record is assdilable in many respects,
and Gen. Arthur. who is known as a
machine politician, cannot stand criti-
cism. Although Arthur has been for
years the chairman of the republican
State committee of New York, and may
be supposed to know something of the
way to carry elections, it is question:.
bic whether his candidacy will help the
ticket in New York

PUT Down TNE RERUBLIcANPARrY.
After publishing the platform of the
Republican party, and commenting up
on it, the Richmond Dispatch says
1.-THE Democrats must unite to put
down this dangerous Republican party.
1t is an enemy to the Union. 1t is a
drawback upon the prosperity of the
country. It is relic of past age. 1t
has outiived its day end generation.
It should be buried never 70 be raslr-

WHAT GRANT SAYs.-Grant says
that Garfield will not carry Southern
State, though there is some hope of car
rying Virginia if the Republicans Will
unite with the Malone men, from
which it appears that Grant considers
the Malone men Republicans. The
"Mahone men" may be, but the mass of
the Readjusters are not, and will not
vote for any other ticket than that
which will be nominated at Cincinnati
by the Democratic party.

Irwin and Abram. The Generals

member of his family. She is an intel
ligent, energetic old lady, with a clear
head and strong will, who keeps well
posted in the news of the day, and is
very proud of her sons career, though
more liberal of criticism than praise.
In person General Garfield is six feet
high, broad-shouldered and strongly
built. He has an unusually large head,
that seems to be three. fourths forehead !;
light brown hair and beard, large, light
blue eyes,sa prominent nose and full

HAYES OPINION OF ARTHUR.-Pre-
sident Hayes wrote to Arthur, January
3lst, 1879. when Arthur was the collec-
tor of customs in New York City, that
che regarded it his plain duty to sus-
pend him in order that the office may
be honestly administered" Arthur is
now the nominee Of the Republican
party for Vice President.
AS the Lynch6Wg Vrginidn says,
Arthur starts in the race with heavy
"boom" from the White House. Hayes
and Sherman say they turned him out
of the Collectorship because they want
ed the Office Honestly administered"
and wished to stop "bribes and gratui-
ties" from being received by subordi-
mates, in that office. A strong endorse
ment, truly, of the Republican candi-
date for the Vice Presidency!

THE STORM OF SATURDAY LAST
The storm which passed over this coun-
ty last Saturday afternoon, blowing
down trees and fences, seems to nave
been quite extensive, and to have done
considerable damage in other portions
of the State we have heard from, par
ticular1y about Richmond, Petersburg
Norfolk and Portsmouth.
At Richmond, the Dispatch says, that
all over the city trees were blown down
and in some instances considerable
damage done to property. AT the fa'r-
Grounds the roof of; the main pavili on
was blown off. On the corner OF Main
and Twenty-ninth streets the tln-roof-
ing of Deans tobacco factory was uplif-
ted and borne away. The trees in the
Square and on Broad street in 1.-The viz
cinity were badly injured.
About fifteen miles below the city the
steamer Ariel was stopped and turned
completely around. She finally sue
ceeded in reaching the city without in
jury.
In Henrico cou nty considerable inju-
ry was done to the wheat, fruit-trees,
and fences.
In Manchester the roof of the resi-
dence Of Councilman J. H. Patterson
was entirely blown off and into the
middle of Porter street. Bricks from
the side of the building were also blown
off, leaving the plastering exposed. The
roof of the residence of Mr.. II. d. Ow'
ems, owned by Mr.. J. L. Robertson, was
badly injured. 3 house on the Midlo
THAN turnpike was entirely Demolished
Several narrow escapes were reported
The damage to trees, fences, &c, was
great in and near the city.
In Chesterfield county the newly
garnered wheat was scatterd to the four
winds, and much OF it totally lost.

A "REMINISCENCES OF GARFIELD AND
writer in the Washington
Star SAYS: "In 1851 Chester A. Arthur,
fresh from Union College, came to
North PoWnal, Bennington county, VT,
and for one summer taught the village
school. About two years later James
A. Garfield, then young student at
Williams College, several miles distant,
in order to obtain the necessary means
to defray his expenses while pursuing
his studies, came also to North Pownal,
and established writing school in the
same room formerly occupied by Mr..
Arthur, and taught classes in penman-
ship during the long winter evenings.
Thus from a common starting point in
early life, after the lapse Of more than a
quarter of a century, after years OF
manly toll, these distinguished men
are, by the action of the Chicago con-
vention, brought into close relation
ship before the nation and before the
civilized world.

GAR-BRoTH.-Now that Garfield is
the Republican candidate, we may ex-
pect to hear q good deal of the gar
broth which the Republicans will have
to eat. "As mean as gaf-broth," is a
familiar expression and denotes q dish
even worse than "boiled crow" The
Republicans will take it with wry
face, bat will, nevertheless, smack their
lips in affected satisfaction, and swear it
is quite palatable. To see the Grant
Republicans slipping it, is better than
show. In the comparison, castor oil
is pleasant, but they must hold their
noses and swallow it. The colored vo-
tiers of the South who constitute nearly
all of the Republican party in the
Southern States. whose preference has

Grant, will be expected, like dumb,
