GENERAL CHAsTER A. ARTHUR
NOMINATED ON THE FIRST BAL
LOT.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, June Sat the ad-
iourned session the delegates as we'll
as the galleries were becoming very
impatient. 1t required a man of
acknowledge leadership to command
their respectful attention. The roll
of States reached New York with
one or two nominations made. The
clerk paused significantly at this
State, but no more was made and
North Carolina was called. Then
General Woodford of New York
arose, and having obtained unani-
nous consent, nominated General
Chester A. Arthur for vice presi-
dent. Having failed to nominate
the General of their choice he said
that his State heartily concurred in
t he nomination of the distinguished
General from Ohio, and offered as
his second on the ticket her own dis
tinglished son, who would insure a
majority in the Empire State. Gov
ernOr DenDlSOn Ol Olllo WAS tne
first to second the nomination in
behalf of the delegation from his
State. General Fitzpatrick followed
in behalf of the New Jersey deleGa-
ton, and when Emory A. Stoors
pledged Illinois to Arthur, it was
evident that the work at recess had
been cleanly done, and that Arthur
would certainly be nominated
Lynch, Mississippi negro, said
that it had been their intention to
present the name of B. X. Bruce,
but they would not do so, but would
heartily second the nomination OF
the distinguished soldier from New
York.
The spectators arose and shouted

of the delegates so sorely that Senator

In 1877, General Gaifeea<s was the Re-
publican candidate for the Speakership,
but the Democrats were largely in the
majority, and Mr.. Randall was elected
over him. In the early part of the same
year he had been candidate for the
seat in the Senate made vacant by Mr..
Sherman's entrance into the Cabinet.

at the special request OF President Hayes,

more service to the administration of the
country as member of the House. 1t
was also rumored that the President
had held out to him the hope that he
could be elected Speaker of the House,

OF the political situation too profound to
be entertained by such experienced
politicians as Garfield and Hayes. In

Candidate for Tie complimentary vote Of

1t might be well for huseh olders not
to presume too far upon the gallantry

warning comes from the Appeal Court
IN Metz, where a fair daughter of the
Pdlis MeSSin, who wrs young lady
when Marshal Bazaine brought himself
to grief there, being engaged to bride
groom TO whom she had told one of
those fibs about her age at which Jova
laughs, has been sharply punished for
her prevarictions. She compromised
her conscience by only deducdtng six
wears from her register. The law of
Germany, however, demar DIS that & g
birth certificates of each of the happy
pair shall be filed on their wedding day.
Was she to be blamed because, being in
possession of the official copy of her
birth certificate, she cnnformed its fig
ures to those she had previously given
TO her lover? Her alteration, like the
original statement, passed muster with
the bridegroom, and it was not until the
honeymoon was waning that hei mis-
deed became public. Unfortunately for
the happiness of the newly welded pair

A REDUCED RATE FOR THOSE WHO
DESIRE TO GO.


Those of our citizens who desire
to attend the National Democratic
Convention which meets at Cincln--
natl on the 22nd inst, can do so at
greatly reduced rates.
The Jefferson Democratic CLUB
at first proposed going as a body,
but within a few days past they
have given up the idea.
The Secrela airy of the club, Mr.. j. e.
Farra, wrote to the officials of the var

for rates, and in a few days succeeded
in making arrangement, whereby ex-
cursion tickets good for ten days can
be obtained for $1S. Anyperson who
desires to attend the convention should
apply to Mr.. Farra, in order to obtain
an excursion ticket.

James Abraham Garfield was born in
the town ship of Orange, ,Cuyohoga town
ship, Ohio, on the 10th of November, 1881
and is now in his forty-ninth year. His
father, Abraham Garfield, who has
emigrated from New YORK, lived on a
small farm and it was much as he could
do to support his family, which after thu,
birth of James consisted OF wife and
four children. Before James was two
wears old, his father died. The family
life before had been close and hard
enough; now it became closer and harder;
But the widow was woman OF unusual
energy, faith and courage. She said the
children should not be separated, but
kept together, and that the home should
he maintained as when its head was liv-
inc. The battle was hard one but she
won it, and not until James reached bis
