ing forward with his own studies at
the same time.

liams College.

his class

uously in Congress since he was thir
ty-three, he was elected to the United
States Senate.
At forty-eight, he was nominated
for the Presidency of the United
States.
Such are the salient points in the
history of the man whom the Repub-
licans have selected as their standard
bearer in the present campaign. The
simple, unadorned statement of his re-
cord constitutes his strongest eulogy-
goes the furthest in commencing him
to the confidence of his countrymen.
There is no anti-climax in his career.
1t proceeds from the humblest and
most proptious beginning step by step
onward and upward by arduous but
honorable paths. He is essentially
product of our institutions, man
sprung from the people, the incarna-
tion of American pluck, perseverance,
self-reliance and intelligence. He is in
the best sense of the word sclf-made
man. 1t hae been said that ''most self
made men worship their creators"
But Garfield has no such conceit. The
trials of his early days did not daunt
him, nor have the triumphs of his man
hood turned his head. He is to-day
what he has always been, modest, un-
assuming, frank and unaffected; man
Of great and varied resources, of
through training and large expert
encc, full of sympathy for the masses
whose tolls he has shared, full of love
for the country which he periled his
life to help save and for whose welfare
he has steadily labored ever since his
entrance in to Congress
The Democratic party can place no
man in nomination who can make any
headway against the carpenter, canaler,
teacher, soldier, statesman, James A.
Garfield.
