A Royal Party on a Pleasure Trip.

The special train from Niagara Falls, with !
their Royal Highnesses Princess Louise aud
Prince Leopold aud suites, was to arrive at
the little depot on the Windsor side at $3.50
that evening, and in anticipation a crov d
that filled the platform and overhowed on the
tracks was collected as early as O'Clock.
The train arrived on time, and after few
moments stay was backed on the Great Wes-
tern Ferry. The party came on deck evil
IDENTIFY without regard to rank, but going
down, as the ferry ran into the slip on this
side, the gentlemen and ladies were preced-
ed by the Princess who bowed several times
as she went down the stairway, while the
gentlemen stool with uncovered heads. On
this side the party at the rear of the car
faced the headlight of the locomotive that
drew them into the Third street depot, where
they waited fifteen or twenty minutes be-
fore leaving for Chicago and good-humol-
edly allowed small crowd to see all there
| was to see.
The most noticeable feature about the
party was the entire absence about dressing
or any indication of royalty. The Princess
was dressed in black, with white ruching
about the neck. Her dress was rather short
and SO far as casual observer could deter
min her jewelry was conspicuous solely by
its absence. She wore dark hat with a red
facing in front, and on her hands were what

THE THREE GRACES.

gone for naughtl About three wears ago
scheme was hatched in the brains of this
trio, and few Lesser lights, which was to
result in returning Grant to the White
House for a third term, and the other two
were to hold important cabinet offices. Gen
eral Grant was started out on a tour around
the world. BY the aid of consu,s and min
listers at various points, who were parties to
the scheme, grand ovations and receptions
were gotten up for the benefit of the ex-Presi
dent, and he was received by many of the
crowned heads of Europe. For two years
he wandered thus, and when told that it
was time for him to return to America to set
his little boom agoing he returned to the gol
dsn shore of California and there was welcom-
ed home in royal style. As he travelled East
the cry Of welcome was taken up, ard tn
people regardless of party paid homage to
the General who brought the war 10 close
aud the returned ex President, not knowing
that in SO doing they were but carrying out
the programme of the third term managers
in starting a Grant boom. In all the great
cities his reception was hearty, and when he
reached Philadelphia, the point from which
he started two years before, the demonstra-
tons were OF a character never before equal
led on similar occasion, Then was Grants
opportunity. He could have endeared him
self to the whole people by the utterance of
q single sentence. 81 am not candidate
for President The unwritten law of the
land recognizes no third term" Did he say
that? No, he kept silent at the command of
his managers, and though he never said he
was candidate he turned his young and
foolish son loose, and he proclaimed it from
the house tops. Ulysses S. Grant sought
the nomination for the third term. He stak-
ed his whole upon that issue and lost. He
might have been remembered by the Ameri-
can people as the great soldier who led their
armies TO victory because no other General
was permitted to do it but now he will go
down to future ages as the man who sought
q crown, at the expense Of the nations life.
Like C,eser, he was ambitious, and Blaine
and Sherman and several other Brutuses
slew him.

The Democrats of South Carolina have
been consistent and true to their record. In
their last state convention they dominated
for all the principle State offices the men
who figured promptly in the butcheries OF
negros 10 the campaign of 1876, or who sub
sequently played prominent parts in the at
tempt to steal the Electoral votes of that
state for Samuel j. Tilden. They are the
men who ought to reap the fruits of Demo-
cratic supremacy in South Carolina. Hamp
ton and Butler already have their reward in
the shape of seats in the United States Sem
ate, and the other leaders of the red shirted
ruffians will now come in for their share of
the plunder. South Carolina is Republi-
can state, but as only very small portion
of the Republicans are allowed to vote, the
Democrats will of course continue in power.
As piece Of refreshing campaign litera-
ture we reprint the above from the Wilkes
barre Record, just TO show to what straits the
opposition organs are reduced. 1t Is the old
story, bloody shirt, bulldozing, intimidation,
&C., &C., &c. Democrats and intelligent
men of all parties will smile at the absur-
dity of the repetition of the long ago explo-
ded charge of NEGRO butchering" and "the
attempt TO steal the electoral vote of South
Calolina for Tilden." There is not an hon
est republican in the land who does not
acknowledge the great fraud of 1876, though
we may laugh ct II as good joke, 'Hamp-
ton and Butler have their reward in the
United States Senate" because elected by
the msjority of the people, and because car
pet bag rule in that state, to use common
expression, is played out. But how about
the rebel Brigadiers who assisted in steal
ing the Presidency, who have been appoin'
ted to Office under republican administra-
ton, to reward them for the part they took
in the crime. Our contemporary forgets to
mention them. "South Carolina is repub-
lican state, but only few republicans are
allowed to vote" When Wade Hampton
was made Governor it was admitted on all
sides that he was fairly elected. Recent elec-
tions 10 the South have been as peaceable
as anywhere in the country, but all this cam
paign clap-trap Is necessary now 10 carry

1t will be seen that the Eastern States
elected three of their citizens to that high

part of term by the demise of Sou tn

elected four, who, if death had not inter

THE CANDIDATE,

will remainto be seen.
THE CANDIDATE.
james Abraham Garfield was born in
Orange, Cuyahoga county, Ohio, Novem-
Der 10, 1881. His father Abraham Gar
field was OF New England origin, but came
to Ohio Immediately from New York. Al
ter considerable of struggle with the ru-
dimentary branches, young Garfield enter
ed Williams college, Massachusetts at the
age of 23 and two years later in 1856, he
graduated carrying off one of the honors.
In early life he connected himself with the
Disciples or as it is commonly called the
Campbellite church, religious denomina-
ton quite numerous in that neighborhood
and though not ordained, was recognized
as minister OF that faith, preaching
TO several congregations in the neighbor-
hood of his home. In his struggle to get
an education, it is generally believed that
the members of the denomination who
could afford to do SO volunteered assis-
tance to him, with view to thereby bet
ter qualify him to discharge his ministerial
duties and advocate the doctrines.of the de-
nomination.
During the period of Garfeld's absence
at college small academic establishment
was built up at Hiram, Ohio, called Hiram
Institute, under the auspices and manage
ment of the Disciples church. Upon re-
ceiving his diploma he returned 10 Ohio
and at once assumed the Professorship of
Latin and Greek in this struggling institu-
ton. Two years later he was made Presi-
dent of the establishment, and 10 both
capacities he lsbored assiduously and in
to advance the interests and pro-
mote the growth of the institute.
As sympathy with his surroundings brought
him within the pale of the Disciples hurch
he also Joined the popular clamor of the
Western Reserve against slavery. His first
prominent identity with politics was in 1859
when he was chosen to the Ohio State SEN
ite from the district comprising Portage and
summit counties. At the breaking out OF
he rebellion he entered the army as a Col
,nel of the Forty-second regiment Ohio vol
Inteers, and was speedily promoted to the
rank of Brigader General. In the fall of
1862 he was nominated by the republicans of

animation created such revolution of senti-
nent against Mr.. Garfield that ne secured
he re- nomination only after close contest,
md at the election his vote fell several
housand behind the strength Of his party.
n 1876 and 1878, though he succeeded in
brewing the mantle of obscurity over this
md other charges which have from time to
ime been made against his integrity, he has
ach time fallen considerably below his par
v strength. Last winter his contests were
ettled 10 the district by his election to the

Thurman. He will take his seat in that

THE MOB AT CHICAGO.
Garaeld and Arthur Nominated.

Never at a National convention of any
party, has there been more bitterness exhib-
tied than at the Republican convention at
Chicago. The fight was between Grant,
Blaine, Sherman and L lmunds, and the sup
porters of each cand idate were determined
to secure the nomination for their favorite
at any cost. Senator Hoar called the con-
vention to order on Thursday at 1l.45 a. m.
He requested all others than members of the
convention to withdraw from that part of
the hall assigned to delegates and directed
the sergeant-at-arms to enforce the request.
The aisles were cleared after some delay.
Rev L. A. Noble. of the Union Park Con-
gregltional church, Chicago, offered prayer.
MIR. Conkling moved that the convention
adjourn or take recess until 6 p. IN. Mr.
Hale made the point of order that the mo.
ton was debatable. The chair sustained
the point. Mr.. Hale, in his speech, held
that the convention must remain in a state
of suspended animation until the commit
tees are ready to report.
Conkling followed Mr.. Hale, claiming
that it would facilitate the business of the
| convention to take a recess, and said 1t was
not in order to proceed until the committee
on credentials had reported. His motion to
take a recess was lost.
Shortly afterward, Mr.. Frye made mo-
ton for recess until 5 O'Clock. Mr.. Conk.
