experience in public affairs. He has
been part of the Government and a
prominent Republican for very many
years past. He is identified with no
rings or cliques. He is close to the peo-
pie and of them. He has felt in boy
hood the hard hand of poverty, and he
knows the wants and feelings of the
millions. He is man OF pure life and
high moral character. He has had in
tellectual training which fits him for
the high place TO which he has been
nominated. He knows the public men
of the Nation of all parties, and cannot
be imposed upon as other honest Presi-
dents less familiar with affairs have
been. He is popular in manner, firm in
conviction, honest in impulse, pure in
life, sound in heart. There are thou
sands of earnest, quiet, sincere Republi-
cans all over this great country, in shop
and field and store, in all the highways
and byways of commerce, business and
trade, to whom the news of the nomi-
nation of Garfield will come as a great
relief, as blessing hardly hoped for, an
omen of success and as evidence of the
fact that Providence is yet on our side.

MaxiIns for Everybody
Rely on yourself.
Render good for evil.

Rely on yourself.
Render good for evil.
Resolve on doing your duty to all.
Rather suffer wrong than do wrong.
Resignation sweetens many bitter cup.
Rare gifts are seldom used with diScre-
tion.
Rely not on the promises of an untruth-
full person.
Rude remarks manifest lack of refine
ment.
Revenge is mean pleasure, and it
dwells in little minds.
Ruin usually follows swiftly on the
heels of extravaganza.
Recede not from an honorable position
when once taken.
Rest and recreation are essential to
mans welfare and happiness.
Regard the rights of others while seek
ing to secure your own.
Restraint is always necessary to those
who have unbalanced minds.
Resolve to be first in every good thing
which you undertake.
Reason is given to shed light upon the
pathway of human life.
Repel an evil thought and you will
thereby always have room for good
one.
Rail not at him who disagrees with you !;
for the wisest men sometimes diff
fer.
Remedies are sometimes worse than the
diseases which they are intended to
cure.
Render unto Cesar the things that are
Caesars, and unto God the things that
are Gods.
Remember, if young, that soon you will
be old if old, that once you was young
and sometimes foolish.
Revolutions in the social and political
worlds come as legitimately as do con-
vulsions in the natural world.
Rewards do not always come instantly
to the deserving; but the reward that
always comes to the mind of the wor-
thy is ample compensation for every
good act.
Rhetoric in serious discourse is like
the flowers in corn; pleasing to those
who come only for amusement, but
prejudicial to him who would reap
profit from it.

A DEMOCRATIC VIEW.

The nomination of Mr.. Garfield is a
strong One-an uncommonly strong one.
1t is one that brings together and unites
all the lately hostile factions of the par
ty, and removes all the bitterness en-
gendered by the fierce contest among
rival aspirants, that must have had eff
feet in the result had the nomination
fallen to any one of them. 1t foreor
dains the electoral decision of OHIO, and
makes Indiana debatable ground, even
with the strongest man the opposite par
ty could present. 1t satisfies the hard
money sentiment at the East, for Mr..
Garfield is supporter of an honest mon
ey system no less positive and uncom-
promising than Gen. Grant. Moreover,
his election most probably would con-
tinue Mr.. Sherman at the head of the
Treasury, consideration of much i'm
portance to commercial and business in
terests, for the policy of the present FL
nance Minister is established and known,
and change from this known and salts
factory to an unknown and perhaps un-
satisfactory fiscal policy is not what the
county is just now longing for.-Chica-
go Times, Dem.

ILLINOIS WELL SATISFIED.

Nothing could have been so good for
the party as the nomination of General
Grant. We have felt this from the first,
and we feel it now more strongly than
ever But the Convention has declared
otherwise, and has named as the candi-
date Gen. James A. Garneld, of Ohio
We say, candidly and earnestly, that
with Gen. Grant out of the field, no can
didate more acceptable to the Inter
Ocean or to the friends Of Gen. Grant
could have been nominated. He was
before the war, an earnest, conscientious
Republican, during the war good sol
dier, and after the war he made such
progress as placed him in rank among
the leaders of the party.--ChicagO Inter

FORWARD TO VICTORY.

The nomination of Gen. Garfield comes
to him without his seeking it; and COM
ing at the end of a long and bitter con-
test between the friends of other candi-
dates, it will give satisfaction to all sec
tions of the Republican party, and re-
ceive its united and hearty support. Of
his position in the council chambers
of the Nation we need not speak. His
career has been a notable one. 1t has
been marked by that high craftsmanship
which has won for him the admiration
not only of his party but of all good cit
liens. His name will carry prestige
which insures victory from the start /;
and the grand old Republican party,
united upon its candidate, will once
more march on to victory.-Boston

WHAT THEY SAY.
GARFIELD AS Roy AND MAN.

"The child is father of the man." New
er was there more striking illustra-
ton of the truth of the saying than is
shown in the story of the boyhOod Of
James A. Garfield. The clear honesty,
sturdy devotion to principle, eager de-
sire for knowledge, and unshrinking la
Dor that knows no fatigue when enlisted
in worthy cause, which has been char
acteristic of Garfield the man were also
well developed traits in the character of
Garfield the boy-Cleveland Herald.

CHICAGO PLATFORM
DEMOCRATIC COMMENT.


Cleveland Plain Dealer-The Republl-
can party can preach reform and virtue
better than professional evangelist but
when it comes to the practice, the pre-
cept is all there is left.
Chicago Times-While the Chicago
platform is q very respectable piece OF
workmanship of its kind, it relates to the
past. rather than the present 1t amounts
to a confession that the Republican par
ty now exists for no better purpose than
that Of conserving its past work.
Baltimore Gazette-The platform, IN
fact, is tissue of misrepresentation
such as must provoke smile from the
most hardened partisan.
DAYTON Democrat-The greatest trou-
BILE the Chicago platform builders had
to encounter was the entire absence OF
all those Democratic blunders Congress
was going to make. Their structure Is
weak and spiritless aggregation OF plat
itudeS,
New York Star-The Republican plat
form of 1850 is one-half brag and orc
half falsehood.

WHAT EX-SECRETARY BRISTOW THINKS
ABOUT GARFIELD.

81 think the nomination of Gen. Gar
field is very fortunate. He is ID strong
man. He bas thoroughly sound views
on the currency question, and that's
He is man who has come
up from the people, working his way up
by his own energy and pluck and abili-
ty. He is one of the best speakers the
Republican party has, and he has per-
fectly clear record. L think he will
make strong President, and will give
US pure, honest administration. And
[ wish to say that outside of his popu-
larity as statesman and a speaker. he
made his mark during the war. knew
him as soldier in the army of the Cum
berland. He was one of the best officers
we had, and was OH intimate terms
with Gen. G. II. Thomas. He was with
him as chief of staff at the battle of
Chickamauga, and Thomas spoke of him
then as one of the great men of the Ma
tion. There is no other man as popular
with the old Army of the Cumberland
since Thomas death, and Gen. Thomas,
were he living, would take peculiar
pleasure in his nomination.

THEY SING A DIFFERENT TUNE.

Those Democrats who were consOling
themselves with the wish and chuck
ling over the hope that the Chicago
Convention would result as the Charles
ton Convention did, in dividing the par
ty represented have now to face the
reality of harmony and the unanimous
of two of the most popular
men in the Republican party. No di-
visions, no dissensions, no "scratchers"
in the Republican party for the coming
Presidential campaign.--Cleve. Leader.

rive Men FaII Piny ree,

Rochester. y. ", Oct. ia sad
and perhaps fatal accident happened
at the Cunningham carriage factory, on
Canal street, yesterday afternoon, at 2
O'Clock. Five persons were In the ele.
vator car. It was at the fourth floor,
when suddenly the beam which sustains
the cable, holding the weight OF the
car, gave way and the car plunged
down the shyft TO the basement with
its living freight. Employees OF the
factory heard the noise and Immediately
went TO the rescue, and Drs. Farley,
Moore and Jones were summoned.
The injured men were removed and
medical examination made. Joseph
Irving, the superintendent of the fac
tory building, had his leg and jaw
broken, and arm injured. He is about
sixty years of age and resides on West
avenue. The doctors have fears of in
ternal injuries. Mr.. Irving's injuries
are the most serious Of the five. VIM. G.
Murray, book-keeper and telegraph
operator, was injured in the back and
gashed above the eye. He resides on

Upton, Mis-, Oct. -. - About )
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, while John

entered his saloon ut the corner of Ex-

bed his money drawer. From his din
ing room he heard them MS they were
escaping. He followed in lively pur-
suit, and succeed in capturing one of
them-EdwaId McCann. OF course
the other did not wait till McCann
could be taken care OF, but kept on at
his lively run towards Cornhill and lib
erty. lie succeeded in escaping Nc
Cam, however, was taken by Lee to
the police Office, where he was placed
under lock and key. The thieves found
and got possession Of only about two
dollars In small change in the drawer.
McCann's companion in crime will
probably be captured to-day, rs the po-
lice have full and clear description Of
him. They are bold brace Of thieves
to take such risks all for the sake of q
little booty to be bagged ut petit lar

veloped into full-fledged burglars, had

Naughty Young Man.

Boston, Oct. 10. Yesterday, the
summons and complaint and tho order
of arrest In the case OF Catherine Sher-
idan VS.. Charles o. Bedwin, were filed
IN the county clerks office. The plain
tiff, who is widow, alleges that in No
vember, 1878, the defendant corruptly
and maliciously enticed her minor
daughter, Josephine, to leave her moth
er's house; that the plaintiff was enti.
tied to her daughters services from that
time until August last, but was depriv-
ed thereof by the defendant; that the
defendant was in constant criminal in
timacy with Josephine, and committed
offenses against her and against her
mother; that the latter is entitled to
5000 damages for these offenses, and
for this amount she sued. Bedwin, it
will be remembered, is the young man
who was recently arrested under this
action, and who subsequently gave bail
in the sum of 81, 200, his mother becom-
ing his surety. In the action for dam
ages commencing against him, ID. G.
Feely is attorney for the plaintiff.

than ever done before. II is a feat

the worst managed campaign on the
democratic side in the history OF that
state; that English has proved misera-
bly, inefficient and utterly incompetent: !:
that he has been outgeneraled at every
