my opinion, Messrs. Editors, tliatssif
, tho E}propounder Of these questions
bearing upon tho prosperity of tho
poople (t'fairners' for the merchant
and lawysr ars) will associate with
aimself three or foar gentlemen of
Intelligence, taking these four heads
or subjects, "Labor," "Lien," "Mor-
chant selling on hens," and "Ncigh-
bor," writing out everything that can
be sald pro and con-, they will satisfy

and probably will then be in q condi-
tion to give good, wholesome advice to
the weaker,nindetl Of their fellow men.

Who shot Gariield2 ANY news from
Garffcldp has been the topic over here
among white and black, in fact Gar
field and the tempted assassin is the
foremost conversation now in any
group you may approach. l use the
term tempted, for il has been my con-
vietio1l from the first that Guitcau has
behind him men Of means and intlu-
encc, whose ambition would lead them
to crimes 10 less than mu!derers; that
ambition has led them to covct places
they could never reach, but by re-
moving the obstacle or stumbling
block in their way. And sec how very
moar they are to having accomplished
the foul deed. James a. Garfield be-
ing the obstacle in the way Of Arthur,
Conkling s. Co., consequently the at
tempt to take his life, that The aims of
trio IN high positions might be ac-
couplished. The. New York Times
quotes Arthur as being anything else
than good man. So watch him. The
attempt to assassinate the Chief Magis-
trate Of the United States is high
crime, and the cnlprit should meet his
ultimatum speedily; which l predict
will not DC the case if Garfield dies.
Come to the front, Ohio, and look to
the protection Of your som, james A.
Garfield, and sec that the justice Of the
law is not cheated out tho person of
tho dastardly assassin.
