The President.

Intense anxiety and sorrow for the
reported dying condition of the Pres
ident pervaded our whole communi-
ty last Friday and Saturday, and al
though his condition still remains
critical at this Tuesday afternoon
writing, he is Somewhat improved
since last week: Phe stomach, which
is SO very weak as scarcely able to
retain any nourishment, has slight
ly improved, and should this favora-
BILE feature continue there is some
reason to hope that his life may'be
saved. AS long, however, as the
bulletins give his pulse at 1O4 to ITO
and his temperature above a normal
condition, there is very little encour'
agement or grounds for hope Of ultl'
mate recovery. The swelling in the
neck or paroted gland cores from
blood poisoning, but the physicians
appear.not to be alarmed at this new
trouble, their evident purpose being
to strengthen his stomach, and IN
less they succeed in doing this there
is little or no hope of favorable re
suit.

An exchange makes the following
comparison between the two wings
ofthe Republican party: "Both Re-
publican factions have come to be
an abomination; but the stalwarts,
as represented by Conkling are an
improvement upon the sneaking
saints Of half breed mixture. The
half breeds are greedy, avaricious
and dishonest, but sugar-coat their
knavery with a food of cant and
Sunday school morality. AS a con-
sequence, they have developed a
peculiar race of oily and knavish
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., as it were, of
the Christian statesmen type.
They profess all the virtues and
practice all the rascalities. The
stalwarts are only better because
they are less hypocritical. They are
bold and audacious. The half breeds
are not above asking a blessing OF
saying a prayer over a bride. The
one crowd dupes the party, the other
drives it. The stalwarts seek to pro.
long their power by sectional agita.
ton and war memories. The halt
breeds pose as civil service rcformers
and practice civil service corruption
There is precious little choice be
tween them"

In the presidential campaign of
1880, when the Democrats of Spring
field, Ohio, had importunely witness
ed several large Republican process
ions, they were tainted that the
Democracy couldn't organize a pro-
cession, and that if they did, no gen
Heman would UaM an 1T. John
Wesley Bookwalter Immediately fur
nished the funds for a Democratic
procession, and through rain and
mud, with a torch on his shoulder,
marched Cd foot, among hundreds of
Springfeld's workingmen, in the
largest political procession ever seen
in that city. That's the kind Of a
Democrat and man John Wesley
Bookwalter is. Does it suit you

"The Dead Government" was the
somewhat startling heading of the
leading editorial in a late Sunday
Capital. formerly Don Piatt's paper,
and which frequently gets off some
right good things. The article in
question closed as follows:
"Where the remedy is lies beyond
our comprehension. A faction in
stalled in power becomes the govern
ment of course. It can not be dis
possessed at the polls, and, if dispos-
sessed, another equally unprincipled
and soulless faction takes it's place.
A bloody civil war was necessary to
drive out the democracy, and a war
is necessary to expel the republican.
ASSASSINATION was appealed to,
and was nearly successful. Had
President Garfield died where he fell,
Vice President Arthur would have
been killed by the one-half of the
insane faction that brought this
style OF cowardly crime upon us.
"But the government ofthe fathers
is dead and the foul odor of the
factions fighting over its body makes
burial a necessity"

What authority has the editor of
the Register for stating that we had
no accredited representative in the
meeting" of the Republican Commit
tee, after admitting that we were
correct as to the meeting, the assess
ments and the proposed resignation
of the Chairman? Were the Advise
ry Committeeman of Somers town
ship present? If not, why not? Did
not some of the Advisory Committee
express themselves that their candi-
date for the Prosecutorship was too
young, and that the nomination of a
candidate for County Commissioned
in the southern section of the coun-
ty was more of a load than the peo-
pie would endorse? Come now, Bro.
Charles, no crawfshing over the mat
ter. If you were present, you must
know that we stated the truth.

From the New York Sun.


The Democratic candidate for
Governor of Ohio is not only a Dem
oerat in name, but, he is a true dem
ocrat in the best n of the word,
and worthy of the generous support
of the people without distinction of
party. BY his industry, his honesty,
his enterprise, and his liberal dealing
he has become a large and successful
manufacturer. He knew the hard
ships of personal toll for long years,
and in the days of prosperity he has
never forgotten the needs nor failed
to respect the independence Of the
workingman.
In the Presidential campaign last
year many of the Republican manu-
facturers in the Eastern and Central
States openly by warning, or secretly
by despicable devices, threatened
their workmen with dismissal if they
failed to vote the Garfield ticket.
This intimidation was publicly prac-
tised by the very men who had charg-
ed the South with bulldozing the
blacks; and il was carried to the ex,
tremest point by the Republican
managers in Ohio at the State cleo.

In the midst of the excitement Mr.
Bookwalter called his workmen to

Since the census was taken in
June, 1880, very nearly a million
immigrants have landed in the Uni
ted States. In New York alone dur
ing the first six months of 1881 the
arrivals numbered 100000. They
are nearly all bound for the West,
and do not produce an appreciate
effect on the Labor markets of the
Atlantic coast. The new corners are
of the self-supporting class, and on

be producers of bread stuffs for ex-
ports to the Old World.

Senator Beck, of. Kentucky, in
speaking of the possible death of the
President, said in New York on Sat
urday: 4
Should the President die and
Arthur call a session of Congress
grave complications will arise in the
Senate. You know we were a tie
last session, with the Vice President
to give the casting vote. In case of
the Presidents death we would be
left without a presiding officer, and
our Secretary has died. We would
thus have two officers to elect, and
could not do it without a compromise.

Jokes about the name of the Demo

case of the Malone candidate for
Lieutenant Governor whom the larg-

cans have adopted. The Democrat
.ic State Committee of the Old Do
minion have just issued as a cam
+paign document sixty pages of a his
torical review of the doings Of that
candidate for Lieutenant Governor
John F. Lewis-while he was a
United States Marshal. This cam
paign document is, however, only an
exact reprint Of a report made last
spring to the Senate, on its demand
by a special Government agent, MI.
Lancaster. This agent presented
afidayits and other testimony, from
which he deducted the following o
clusion: .
GUpon consideration of the above
facts but one conclusion can. be drawn
and that is that the Marshal's Office is
responsible for these grave irregular
tiles and corruption. The manner in
which the office has been conducted
for the last eighteen months has been
a disgrace to the Federal Judiciary
and a great hardship to the oitizen,f for
the deputy marshals have been engag-
ed in a regular traffic of Government
process, apparently recognizing no
superior but their greed for fees. For
the year 1880 nearly $4,000 have been
expended by this Office, $4,000 of
which, by a legitimate and honest
management, could have been saved
to the Government" 8i /.
