A few days ago a Pennsylvania
newspaper contained an advertise
ment offering reward for information
that would Lead to the detection of
parties who held death bed policies
on Ellen Reynolds. A reporter OF
the Wilkesbarre Union Leader in
vestigated the matter and the fol
lowing is his story: "a son-in-law

ton. Senator Bayard was elected
President as decided by the caucus.
This action Of course "knocks Re-
publican noses out of joint" and
causes an awful howl. The cool au-
tlacity of wanting and pretending to
expect the Democrats to vote for a
Republican is only equalled by their
general course. If the situation were
reversed such proposition from the
other side would only be met with an
insult and sneer. There is prob
ability that the New York Senators
will have some trouble in gaining adj
mission as charges have been pre-
ferred against them in New York,
claiming that they were elected by
fraud and bribery.

why Guiteau shot the PreSf'
dent.

1t seems to us that Guiteau's mar
rative disposes of the theory which
holds the so-called spoils system re-
sponsible for the crime, and which
has been a source of consolation to
many whose grief would otherwise
have been unsupportable.
Guiteau himself says of the failure
of the President and Secretary Blaine
to reply to his application for the
Paris Consulship: ut did not have
the slightest influence on my act one
way or the other in reference to my
removing the President" The assas
sins declaration, however, is less con-
vincing than the intrinsic evidence
afforded by his statement.
In q certain sense the assassina-
ton was the act of a disappointed
Office seeker, for it was the act Of
Guiteau, and he had been disappointed
in his desire of getting Office. But it
does not follow that the act was com
mitted because of this DISAPPOINTMENT
The probability is all the other way.
At the time when Guiteau first con-
ceived the idea OF shooting the Presi-
dent, his application for the post Of
Consul General at Paris was still
pending. Il He had come down easily
from his expectations Of the Austrian
mission to the point Of contemplating
the inferior post, and was no doubt
prepared to Make further reductions
in his claims. His application had
not been refused when he made up
his mind to shoot Gen. Garfield. Mel
ther at that time nor at any time up
to the present did it enter his head
that the application might be consid-
cred as preposterous and impossible.
His vanity was not wounded. As an
office seeker he had no grievance
against Gen. Garfield. He was still
expecting to hear from the President
when he conceived the idea ofremov-
ling him."
If Guiteau's hunger for Office had
been so desperate as to incline him
to murder in revenge for refusal, he
would at all events have waited till
the refusal came. He was no desper-
ate and revengeful Office hunter. He
was an impecunious fool, one, in scrip
ture phrase, possessed Of devil
bursting with vanity OF the weakest
and most revolving sort, and ready te
do anything that would bring him
into notoriety. Between the office
which he wanted before 1t occurred te
shoot the Presidentand the not0riety
promised him, he would not have hes

President Hidsdale is authority for
the statement that President Garfield
took great interest in the coinci-

When poor Garfield was first shot,
the Associated Press-a republican
machine telegraphed that Guiteau
was a Democrat and from the South.
There was a fiendish malignity and
meanness in this. Had it been true,
the same infamous ISLANDERS would
have been heaped upon our people as
when Lincoln was shot down by lu-
natic who never lived anywhere but
in the North. But Guiteau is not only
aNorthern man but republican, and
some of the mud machines at heart
really regret losing this chance to
wave the bloody shirt, more than the
heinous crime he committed. Were
the Southern press to follow the ex-
ample set them by the cultured press
of the North, their every Issue would
be filled with insults and SANDER, and
they would all hold every republican
in the North responsible in this in
stance.-Kanarha Gazette.

It is a curious but indisputable
fact, a mans wife never cooks as we'll
as his mother used to, Tit is rarely
the case that preference for the ma
ternal coffee and mullins precipitates
such a crisis as occurred in the
! household of Engineer Ford, of ALLIE
.gheny, on Monday. Mr.. Ford re-
turned from his nights run on the
railroad at an early hour and unwise-
~ determined to breakfast with his
mother before visiting his own house.
His wife, alarmed at his unSccustom-
ed absence, rashly concluded that he
had been killed in smash-up on the
road and, without waiting to investi-
gate the truth of her theory, she
plunged her head into wash-boiler
filed with boiling water. When her
head and neck were completely par
boiled she became dissatisfied with
the hot water plan and, seeing train
in the distance, ran to the track and
threw herself before it. The engin-
Ger succeeded in stopping within
about four feet Of Mrs. Ford, and she
was carried back to her home just in
time to meet her husband returning
from his mothers hospitable table.
It is safe to say that Engineer Ford
will in the future prefer to find his
morning coffee boiled too much than
to find his wifa in the same condi-
tion.-1imes.

THE PRESIDENT.

The news from Long Branch is still
encouraging. The President seems to
be gaining strength slowly. He was
threatened with relapse on Sunday,
but the evil symptoms passed away
without much disturbance, and he has
since been much better. The members
Of the Cabinet have left Long Branch,
which shows that they feel safe. Fol.
lowing is the latest dispatch;
LONG BRANCH, Sept. 1S, 6 p. m.-
Official AT the examination of the
President at 12 M. to-day his temper
ature was 98 $40, pulse 100, respira-
iion 20. At the evening dressing, at
5:S0 p. NJ, his temperature was SO 4.1O,
pulse 100, respiration 20. The Presi-
dent was placed in semi-recumbent
position upon an invalid chair at II
a. M, and remained one.half hour
without fatigue or discomfort. The
wounds are making the usual favora-
bic progress and his general condition
is reassuering.

immediate assistance, and most Of
them must depend on charity for
months to come. We are doing all IN
our power TO osuccor them, but the ne.
cessities Of the case are SO great that
contributions ofthe charitable through-
ont the country will be required to
keep them through the winter. We
therefore appeal to you to send money,
clothing, bedding, provisions or eny
other supplies that will help maintain
the sufferers and enable them to pro-
vide shelter for themselves and begin
work again on their farms. Contribu-
tons may be sent to the mayor, Y. G.
Carlton, chairman of the relief COM
mittee, appointed by the citizens Of
Port Huron, who have sent agents
through the burned districts to ascer-
tain the wants of the sufferers ard dis
tribute supplies"
A point is now reached where it may
be reasonably hoped we shall hear of
no fresh disasters to the afflicted peo.
pie or burned district. Rains have
fallen probably sufficient to quench
the fires, but not enough to soak the
ground to revive dropping vegetation.
The lowest estimates make two hun.
dred and fifteen families burned out in
the towns of Mariette, Flynn, Argyle,
Evergreens, Moore, Lamotte and FL
mer, Sanilac county, and thirty two
persons known to be dead. Men who
travelled through the burnt district yes
terday report the fires mostly out and
the Inhabitants sittiug about the ashes
of their burnt houses. Mary are
burned and otherwise injured. They
are disconlolate and almost bereft Of
their senses. Provisions, clothing,
bedding aud other necessaries are
being constantly forwarded, aud men
are travelling through the burnt dis
trict distributing them, and taking the
names of those who are in need.
Many persons are still missing in
burned districts and the exact loss
cannot be known for some DAYS.
Sixty-fve burials are already reported
in six towns, and it is said that twenty.
seven dead have been found in the
country between Bad AK and Port
Hope. Trains are now running regu-
larly to Sand Beach and Marlette.
The older settled towns have suffered
no loss to speak of, but it falls on the
poorer class Of people that are just
starting in newer townships. A good
deal of suffering is also reported from
the back part of Tuscola county, ad
joining Sanilac, where as near as car
be asoertained some scores of families
are completely burned out and it j.
feared there is some loss of life, though
is believed to be small. The work o
relief must now be energetcally and
systematically prosecuted. In many
instances these poor people must b.
carried through winter and supplied
with every necessary Of life.

We call the attention of our read.
ers to the advertisement Of Chas. A.
Wood q Co., No. II N. Tenth Street,
Philadelphia, Pa, who manufacture
the Philadelphia Singer Sewing Ma
chine, which they offer for twenty
dollars. They warrant it to be an
exact duplicate, and as good in
every respect as those manufactured
by the old Singer Company, which
they sell for fifty dollars on Install
ments, or forty dollars cash. The fact
that Charles A. Wood 81 Co., offer to
send their machine to be examined
before being paid for, ought to be full
guarantee that they are all they claim.

THE REPUBLICAN STATE CON-
VENTlON.

The Republican State Convention
met at Harrisburg on Thursday last
for the purpose of nominating a can
didate for State Treasurer. Ths Con-
vention was called to order by Chair
man Cessna, and General Harry White
was elected permanent Chairman of
the Convention. Upon taking his
seat General White made a stirring
speech which was listened to atten-
lively. After the General had com.
pleted his well chosen remarks the
convention proceeded to nominate
man for State Treasurer. Two names
only were presented General Slas
nj. Bailey of Fayette county, and Sen.
ator Vim. 7. Davies of Bradford
county. A ballot was taken and re-
suited as follows, rather one.sided: :
Bailey 157, Davies "a. The nomina-
tion was made unanimous. A short
but sensible and pointed platform was
adopted, and the Convention ad.
jonrned sine die.
From the Pittsburgh Commercial
Gazette'S comments on the result of
the convention we take the following
The work of the State Convention
was so easy and natural that it was
accomplished without any friction OF
an injurious character. 1t was en-
phatically a one.sided affair, but not
on the side from which the noise came.
The friends of General Silas M. Baily,
of Fayette county, secured the organ
ization by vote Of about two to one
and his nomination for State Treas.
urer was consequently foregone con-
clusion. Senator Davies would have
made an acceptable candidate, but
there were good reasons for preferrine
General Baily. He is a new man, and
all that can be said against him il
that he mustered with the Grant col
umn at Chicago mot very serious
charge to make against soldier whC
had fought all through the rebellion
and had a high admiration for thu
chief who brought it to a successful
close. Senator Davies has excited
numerous antagOEisms in his legisla
tive career, and he would have beer
vigorously (though, we believe, unsuc
cessfully) assailed by the Democrat
on certain items in his record. Or
the whole, therefore, we shall have
much palmer sailing with Genera
Baily as our standard bearer, and w
most cordially commend him as a can
didate eminently deserving Of the suf
frages Of the party. The platform i

AN APPEAL FOR AID.

The following appeal has been is
sued by a committee of citizens at
Port Huron, headed by Senator Con-
ger, Mayor Il. G. Carlton and others :
To the people of the United States:
"a most appalling disaster has fallen
upon large portion of the counties of
Huron and Sanilac, with some adjoin-
ing territory, or that part of the
country recently covered with forests
and now occupied by nearly $4,000
people, largely recent settlers and
either poor or in moderate circumstan.
ces. In the whole Of this section there
has been bat little rain during the
past two months and everything was
parched and dry when on Monday,
September 3, hurricane swept over
it, carrying with it a sheet Of fame
that hardly anything could withstand.
We hear reports already Of over two
hundred persons burned to death,
many Of them by the roadside or in
fields while seeking places of safety.
and it is probable that twice this sDum-
ber have perished. We also have re-
ports from twenty or more townships
in which scarcely house, barn or
supplies Of any kind are left, and
thousands of people are destitute and
helpless. All Of these people require
