There is nothing that could have
been said against Blaine that can
not be said against Garfield, while,
as a leader with power to inspire en-
thusiasm and herculean endeayor
Blaine is so greatly his superior as
not to be mentioned in the same
connection.
The Republican party has been
in angry contention for nearly two
weeks and the result is Garfield.
Garfeld-the salary grabber.
Garfeld-the proven beneficiary
of the Credit Mobilier swindlc.
Garfeld-who sold himself to
the De Golyer paving company for
the pitiful sum OF $4,000.
Garfield-the assassin OF Eltz
John Porter.
Garield-the pulp protectionist.
Garfeld-a man with a voice Of
a lion, and the heart Of a sheep
irresolute in purpose and a record
stained in every page

How can he be sustained above
Blame when, Blaine refused to take
a dollar of the salary-grab, which
Garfield both voted Tor and clutch

When has Blaine been convicted
Of selling his vote for $4,000?
Certainly if the Republicans were
honest in their search for a pure can
didate they did not find him
in Garfield.
As for running qualities, we are
candidly Of the opinion they will be
principally confined to Ohio, and in
Ohio, to the Western Reserve.
What should make him strong in
New York, New Jersey or Connec-

nti-Chinese Legislation Of last year
likely to obtain for him votes o.
the Pacific Slope, Or his ultra-tar-

in Illinois ? This is all debateable
territory, and will be sure to be

AS FARas we can learn, the people
of this county are determined that State
ISSUES shall not divide them in the
Presidential contest. The effort to
bring about division and discord BY the
running Of an independent ticket is dis
ceuntenaned, we think, by all classes
of our people. The REIMBURSEMENT OF
the State debt Is an issue upon which
the people were divided, and staunch
democrats were to be found on either
side.of this question. Some who were
Democrats for forty and even fifty
wears and have constantly and consis
tenuy voted the Democratic ticket,
were strong Readjusters and voted the
Readiuster ticket, but acted with the
Democrats IA sending delegates to the
Convention, which is almost daily de-
nounced by the Richmond Wing, as the
Convention Of the Funder Rump. The
blows of the Hhiy directed with such
bitterness against Democrats, while the
Republicans have to a great extent es-
capped its wrath, instead OF weakening
the Democracy Of the State, will react
upon the party of which the Wing is the
openly acknowledged exponent. In
spite Of all the anathemas which be
may hurl against those whom he is
pleased to term Bourbons," Fun
der Rumps," &c. the people Of Shen-
andoah who gave the Readjusters a
hearty support, will give the regular
Democratic ticket a much stronger sup
port. The more bitterly the Wing de-
nounces them, the sooner will they
learn that to receive the praise Of that
Journal, they must blindly follow the
leaders who determine the course OF the
Wing. There is no necessity for d.
vision in the ranks OF the Democracy oil
Virginia, and the parties that create a
division at time when so favorable an
opportunity Of striking decisive blow
in favor of Constitutional government
is presented will be held responsible
for the consequences.

THE importance Of the action OF the
Democratic Convention which will
meet IN Cincinnati on next Tuesday
can not well be over estimated. II
they will place before the people good
ticket. the contest will be almost yir'
tvally decided. If, on the other hand,
they follow the example of the Repuo-
lican Convention, and permit the party
to be sacrificed, by the partisan spirit
of political tricksters, we will have a
stubborn fight, with little encourage
ment. We are if hopes that the Con-
yention will be actuated by the desire
to place before the people, the best
ticket that can be selected. With good
men at the head and united action by
the Democratic party, an easy victory
is probable.
Grant, the representative of the cor
rupt element of the Republican party,
and Blaine, the representative OF the
bitter, sectional, bloody-shirt element
have been disposed of by the action OF
their own party, and it now remains for
the Democracy to dispose of Garfield,
the representative of the Credit-Mobllier
element and Arthur, the detunct here
of the New York Custom House. The
prospect for Democratic success is even
brighter than it was four years ago,
wnen Tilden and Hendricks were cleo
ted. Let every democrat do his full
duty and determine that the old time
majorilies shall be increased this year.

Before the announcement of the
| first ballot it became evident that
Weaver had clear majority, and
all the delegates fastened to change
their votes to that candidate. Mo-
tons sprang from every part Of
the convention to make his nomi-
nation unanimous, and lust as the
sun shone through the eastern win
dows the result of the ballot was
announced as 6lS for Gen. B. Wea-
lver-the total vote-and without
any motion his nomination was
made unanimous,
In the midst of a perfect pandc-

Another Destructive Storm
Twenty Persons Killed and
Missing.

COUNCIL Bluff, To-, June IL
Special dispatches to the Nonpareil
give the particulars Of a terrlable tor
nado that swept through the southern
part of this (Pottawathamie) county on
Wednesday, night. The storm clouds
were first seen forming both east and
west of Wheeler's Grove, the point
where the most destruction occurred,
and travelled eastward. The track OF
the tornado was about half q mile in
width and swept everything befo.e it,
dcmolishing farm houses, barns and
other buildings, and carrying some OF
them bodily for hundreds of feet, then
dashing them 10 the ground in pieces
At one place farmers house, surroun-
ded by a board fence, was picked up
and then dashed to pieces in the yard,
leaving every board on the fence stand
ing in its place. The persons known to
have been killed are Jesse Ansler, wife
and two children; VIM. Pace, wife and
two children killed, and another child
fatally injured. Alex. Ansler, wife
and child we're carried ia the air nearly
a hundred and fifty feet and seriously
lnjured-the child fatally. A hired
man, name unknown, employed BY
Ansler, was killed. Some SIX or eight
other persons were carried away and
have not yet been found. In all about
twenty persons are reported dead or
missing. Not house IN the track OF
the tornado was left standing. The
storm did not last fifteen minutes, and
was unaccompanied by rain. Doctors
from this city, Red Oak and other
points have gone 10 the scene Of the
disaster, and many citizens from Red
Oak. ten miles distant, have gone IL
assist in taking care OF the wounded
and to bury the dead. There are nc
railway or telegraph facilities to the
scene Of the calamity, and reports are
rather meagre as yet. 1t is thought
the storm struck other points, but AoI

Of his sheep were grazing ut the Hav-

when some t~iirty-eight or forty men,
armed with neyolyers and shotguns,
rode up 10 both places in succession
and, by threats Of shooting. made the

they had been doing there would GER
