For the SPECTATOR.
MRS. MARY P. McGLAMMERY
Died at her home, near Parnassus, on the 16tf
of March, 1880.


TRIBUTE FROM q. W. v.
Heavy mists and gloomy shadows
Tricky gathered DER his way,
And the sky so bright and joyous,
Suddenly turned cold and gray.
What upheavings of the bosom!
Oh, the pain, the bitter smart,
And the echoed cries of sorrow,
Ringing from an aching heart.
Now the house is sad and lonely,
All around is dark and still,
And his feet seem far too tired
To ascend life's rugged hill;
And his eyes are ever falling
On the things she used or wore,
For they here and there are lying
She will use them never more.
No, his loving arms are empty,
Draped in darkness is his room,
And no welcome good night kisses
Break the silence and the gloom.
Smooth, untouched, her snowy pillow
Undisturbed her bible lies
Oh, the many mute reminders
Close to him the wee ones nestle.
AS they cry and call in vain
For the darling, sainted mother,
Who will never come again.
All, no more for him vigil,
Will his gentle Mary keep;
In the grr yes cold, quiet bosom,
He ha :, laid her down to sleep.
But Within the darksome chaiice,
There is found healing balm;
SIZE is safe from storm and tempest,
Singing praises to the Lamb.
All, yes, rapture, bliss, and glory
In their triune beauties blend,
Where she nestles in the bosom
OF the Savior, her best Friend.
In the furnace Of affection
Was her spirit purified,
And without a groan or struggle
This pure, modest christian died.
All, yes. she was but translated
From this earth and earthly woe,
To that bright, eternal City,
Where immortal flowers grow.
And she entered heavens portals
Where her sun will ne'er grow dim,
While the loving smiles were fading
She had Just bestowed on him.
Yes, with joy and brightness beaming
On her cheerful, happy face.
She crossed DER the "chilly waters
In moments rapid space.
Loved ones, with sad stricken bosoms,
Oft had gathered round her bed,
And the gushing tears of sorrow
There as often had been shed.
She was waiting for the summons,
Basking in the heavenly light,
And the soul, enriched by suffering,
Ready plumed for upward flight.
God, who heard their walls of sorrow,
And beheld her grief and pain,
Would not let them, in His mercy.
Suffer pangs like these again.
So, while loving hands were busy,
Kindred spirits, gay and bright,
A convoy of shining angels,
Bore this jewel out of sight.
Heaven now hath an attraction
That it never had before.
A bright star they have in glory
That will shine forevermore.
May the loved ones, each tread softly
In the paths where Mary trod.
Learn to bear earth's pains and sorrows
Like this patient child OF God.
In the mothers faithful bosom,
Long unbroken was the chain,
Now one link from it is missing,
Here she'll search for it in vain;
For, indeed, it has not fallen
On this dark and sinful ground,
But high in the realms of glory
May the missing link be found.

The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1880-09-07

Mr.. ALBERT PALMER, prominent
Republican, presided at the Faneuil Hall
meeting in Boston on the 2Sth ult., said
in his speech on opening the meeting:
"When parties change their principles,
patriotic men change their parties. I
cast my first Presidential ballot for Lin
coin, the martyr. I shall cast my next
Tor Hancock, the great soldier and the
great statesman. Democratic principles
have never ceased to rule this country,
but the Democratic party has sometimes
failed to respond to the Democratic IN
stinct. 1t was so. in my judgment, in
1860 The Republican party was born
Of Democratic aspirations, Graded in
Democratic ideas, nursed by Democratic
statesmen and carried to triumph by the
votes of the Democratic masses. But in
the fullness OF time that Democratic
mission has been accomplished. 1t has
ceased to bear Democratic fruit; and the
fungous growth Of sectioaalisn which
springs from it's decay has at length pro-
voked the cry Of the people, Cut It
down, why cumbereth it the ground p
When the Republican party first sprang
into the arena, armed for the fight with
a party nominally Democratic but actu.
ally sectional, with weapons appropriated
from the armory OF Jeffersonian doc
trine, it declared for everything which II
now repudiates."

Garfield Votes to Reduce Printers
Wages.
New York Star. Aug. 9s. 1880.


New York Star, Aug. 2s, 1880.
The Republican candidate for Presi-
dent has, among his other efforts to win
popularity, professed g great interest in
the cause of workingmen.
But words are cheap. What has he
ever done to prove bis sympathy with
the class whom be now 6atters In the
hope of securing their vo,es2
Let us return to the Congressional Re-
cord, Forty third Congress, for an in
stance of what he did when he had a
good opportunity 10 show his boasted
regard for workingmen. At that time
he was Chairman OF the Committee on
Appropriations. In the Civil Sundry
Bill which he introduced was clause
cutting down ithe wages OF the poor
printers in the Government Printing Or
fee. VI course it challenged immedi-
ate debate. The opposition took the
ground that, while capitalists could come
to Congress and get all the money they
wanted; while administration favorites
were awarded su5sidies; while huge cor
porations were decided vast tracts OF
public lands and furnished government
bonds to prosecute their enterprises, it
would be rank injustice TO reduce the
hard-earned wages Of these printers.
In reply TO this Gen Garfield, while
admitting that they did more night work
than printers in outside offices, held that
they we're overpaid, that they were re-
ceiving more than they we're entitled to.
and on the motion to strike out the re-
ducing clause voted plumply No.

Pennsylvania,s War Governor.

The following interview with ex-Gov-
ernor Curtin, OF Pennsylvania, is from
the Philadelphia Press, August 25:
"Do you know General Garfield ?"
"Very slightly. 1 saw stated the
other day that had said knew Gen
eral Garfield very well and believed be
would be elected. OF course it is not
necessary for me to say that never said
anything of the kind, for believe Mr..
Garfield to he very weak candidate
He attracts no enthusiasm whatever"
"You know Hancock well, of course ?"
II know him intimately, and his fami
ly. l have had social relations with
him. giving me an opportunity TO esti-
mate the man. His greatness as SOL
dier no man questions. and no man who
knows him doubts bis abilities for civil
management. If elected he will make
one of the best Presidents the country
has ever had. His administration will
be characterized by the same strength
of Jackson's, without the ohjectional
violence; besides, he will give US clean
administration of the government"
"But, Governor, can he control the
worst elements of the party
"Certainly be can," replied Governor
Curtin, sand will. General Hancock
was, you must remember, nominated 10
Difference to the loyal sentiment in the
Democratic party. He represents that
sentiment better than any man 10 this
country, and without which the Democ-
racy is powerless. and it now recognizes
that fact very clearly. A very large
portion of those who went into the army
were Democrats, having as much love
for the Union as any men that bore
arms. This element holds the balance
OF power in the Democratic party, and
to that element it will owe its success.
If Hancock is elected he will resist, and
be in position to successfully resist,
any sectional demands which may be
made upon him or any sectional policy
which may be demanded He will be
strong and seek to be strong in the con-
fidepce OF the war Democrats, to whom
he will owe his election, if elected"
"Then you believe he will be elected p
81 most certainly do," replied the
Governor. "Of course, as 1 remarked
before, it will be hard fight, and too
early yet to brag much as to what the
result may be. I make these predictions,
however, in regard to Hancock's posi-
ton II be should be elected, that you
may see. when his administration passes
into history, whether have not judged
him rightly"

GARFIELD AND CREDIT MOBILIER.
His Oath and the Report of the PO-
land Committee.

Mr.. GARFIELD, when before the Con-
gressional Committee appointed to in
investigate the Credit Mobilier swindle,
made oath to the following:
81 never owned, received or agreed to
receive, any stock of the Credit Mobil-
ier or of the Union Pacific Railroad"
The committee, majority of whom
we're Republicans, reported unanimously,
that
"He (Gar6eld) J agreed with Mr. Ames
to take ten shares OF Credit Mobilier
stock, but did not paw for the same. Mr..
Ames rec lived the 80 per cent dividend
in bonds and cold them for 81 per cent,
and also received the 60 per cent cash
dividend, which together paid the price
Of the stock and interest, and left bal
ance of 1929"
Mr. GARFIELD also made oath at the
same time and place, and in connection
with the first sentence given above, that
he had not received
"Any dividend or profits arising from
either Of them"
The committee say:
"This sum ts329) was paid over to
Mr.. Garfield by a check on the Sergeant
at.Arms, and Mr.. Garfield then under
stood this sum Was the balance of divi-
dends after paying for the stock"
There are two distinct denials, made
under oath-that be never owned any Of
the stock, nor received dividends or
profits arising from either Of them. The
committee say that Mr.. GARrIELD owned
10 shares, and that he received 1929,
over and above the sum required to pay
the purchase price Of the 10 shares, and
that he THEN UNDERSTOOD that
sum was THE BALANCE OF DIvI-
DENDS after paying for the stock.
The plain facts are: Mr.. GARFIELD
made oath before that committee to two
distinct ialsehoods Of which be was con-
vic.ed by the report Of the committee.
The important question for voters to
consider and weigh we'll Is, is man who
stands before the American people with

him, fit person to be voted for for the

Steal.

Garfield the Head and Front of the
Steal.
The official record shows that James
A. Garfield not only made and signed
the report of the Conference Committee,
recommending the passage Of the bill,
but that. on the reading of the bill in
the House, he Immediately demanded
the previous question on agreeing to the
report, which demand. as he we'll knew,
had the effect to cut off all debate, ex-
cept one hour assigned to him under the
rules, as the advocate of the measure.
This demand was supported by vote
of 103 to "a Nor was this all. Had
he declined to use the hour assigned to
him, or, had he occupied that time in
opposing The passage of the bill, there
might have been some grounds for the
claim that be had opposed it's passage
and used his influence against it But
be did neither. He occupied forty-6ve
minutes of that hour, and occupied it
in defending the bill and advocating it's
passage. Thus Mr. Garfield not only
reported the bill, voted in its favor, and
spoke in its support, but finally adopted
the only course possible by which it's
adoption was rendered irrevocable.

Gen. Garfield first entered the army as
Colonel OF the 42d o. " l., in the fall OF

summer of 1862, he was nominated for
Congressman; was elected in October,

Proofs of Garfield's Guilt.
Washington Post.

One of the great truths which can't be
kept too much at the front during the
entire canvass is the fact that all the
facts preferred against Gen Garfield are
proved by the records Of Congress and
by leading journals of his own party
Gen. Garfield is unfit for any Office of
trust or responsibility, or the leading
journals of his party lied about him like
a gang of scoundrels, seven years ago,
when there was not the slightest tempta-
ton to utter untruths.
