Tribute of Respect.
STANTON VA, december srd., 1885,

STADNToN VA, December 3rd., 1880.
At meeting of the friends OF Mr. I. N. Agard held
in the Office of Lynn Eyler, stanton, Va. Mr. j.
D. Crowle being called to the Chair and Mr.. ]. II.
Parkns requested to act Secretary, the following
tribute of respect adopted:
We have received the sad Intelligence of the death
Of Mr.. Isaac Agard, and feel that we express the
sentiment of all who knew the deceased, in saying
that no young man ever came into this community
stranger, and drew around him warmer and truer
friends in the short time he was among us.
AS an upright man and gentleman, as displayed
in the conduct Of his business and in the solal Cir
Gle, few were his equals and none his superior.
With heart open to every noble impulse and
with generosity only bounded by his MEANS he
never heard the cry of sorrow without prompt re-
Spouse, and with an open hand was ever ready to
relieve the distressed.
Coming from distant State with no friends save
those he made among we desire to put on record
the expression Of esteem for him as man. In
every sense Of the term, and to tender to his be-
reaved relatives and friends our most sincere and
tenderest sympathy in their great affection.
Resokne,f That the papers of our city be requested
to publish the above and that copy of the same be
forwarded to the Mother and Sister of the deceased
and also to the Mccormick Harvesting Machine

The Presidents Message.

We give the Presidents Message as nearly
complete as our columns will admit, embrac-
ing, however, all the important subjects
touched upon. The reference to the Southern
question and that of polygamy will attract at
tention, and the manner in which both sub
jects are treated, will receive the endorsement
of all minded and well-intentioned read
ers. The message gives an interesting COM
pendulum of the business relations of the
government, both domestic and foreign, and
is particularly perspicuous in the views an
nounced as to the silver dollar and the legal
tender currency. Both of these positions we
fully approve as we have no doubt the bust
ness intelligence of the country will. AS
whole the message is an able. wise and in
structive State paper, and may be read with
profit.
The President refers to favorite theme
with him, popular education. His views cor
respond with those announced by Hon. A. Ii.
H. Stuart, in his paper on that subject, sub
mitted to the Board of Trustees of the Pea
body Fund, of which both President Hayes
and Mr. Stuart are members

Other Republican Candidates.

Judging from the proceedings of conven- speech of people," and other indications, we should judge that James G. Blaine stands next to Grant in the list of Republican 'tfavorites. !" Of the two men We should greatly prefer Grant. There is certain solidity of character and personal honesty in him which we fail to discern in Blaine. They are both creatures of the war-but in very different sense. Grant won distinction in way that places him among the few great generals of all time. Blaine, meanwhile, was rapidly springing from poverty to wealth by other arts very fa- miliar to the period. He went to Washington early in the war and, as a government contrac- tor, accumulated great fortune within few years. Then he went home, entered the lower House from Maine. and dpushed his way rapid ly up to the Speakership. In 1876 he orga- uized rad on the presidential nomination which came very near success. AS politi- clan there is no 'smarter" in the country, but there is s0 much of the air of demagogue in all his proceedings that he is scarcely more ac- eeptable to Independent Republicans than Grant himself. There is weak spot, also, in his record. Although he apparently es- capped unhurt from the crash of the Credit Mo. bilier scandal, his reputation was seriously in- jured by the investigation into other railroad iniquities. In two important particulars, in- deed, Blaine is preferable to Grant There would be no evil Third Term precedent. He is not a favOrite but an opponent of the Sena- tOriaI Junto, and we have no doubt that his election would be speedily followed by greater change of officers than has been seen in the whole of Hayes administration.
 One fact ought not to be lost sight of by the eager advocates of Messrs. Blaine and Grant. The Democrats have majority of both House and Senate. Neither has seemed in any hur- ry 10 accomplish even the necessary business of the long session. Should either Grant or Blaine be nominated, who can doubt that such a series of investigations would be started as would speedily place Republicansm on the defensive ID a campaign that, with even their best candidate, will be difficult enough.
 But should Republicanism be lucky enough to run the gauntlet between it's 'strong" man and its smart" man, who would be it's next probable choice? Three names are oftenest mentioned; Sherman, Edmunds and Wash- burne. Of these Sherman is too shrewd a politician to suit our taste. Washburne's re- cord is excellent, especially on the question of reform As New Englander, however, we incline to Edmunds in preference to the rest, a man of sterling character and high ability. To be sure he has no boom" organized, but we like him none the less for that. On the whole, where is the Independent likely to do bestefs

Car pets is something wonderful, commencing few years ago making not more than five or six thousand yards per month they have in- creased to an enormous production which is all snediately taken up by such leading houses as A.
