DEATH OF PRESIDENT GAR
FIELD.

The telegraph brings news OF the death
Of President James A. Garfield at about
IL o'clock last night. The humiliation
of time by the wonderful telegraph is in
dicated in the fact that we received the
s~orrowful intelligence as early as $50
o'clock. We mourn the death Of Gar
field we our the position, if not the
man. We are not of those who believe
implicitly in the purity Of the man.
There were a great many well authenti-
Gated and grave charges against him IN
the late canvass which were never salts
factorily explained. But while he was
not George Washington, he was a bril-
liant anon Of the most brilliant OF
his day. He has not had an equal in
Congress in 20 years. Blaine is a dash
ing politician, but never the peer OF Car
field in craftsmanship. We mourn the
conditions and surroundings and circum-
stances OF the taking off of the Presi-
dent. He was guilty of no harm to pro-
woke the assassin's bullet. He was in
the peaceful and successful discharge of
his official duties. He had just reached
the highest pinnacle of fame that may be
attained by mortal man on this earth.
There is no higher place than the Presi-
doncy Of the United States. We could
wish any man attaining it to be spared
life to give it a fair trial. Great deeds
and great ends might await his Admins
t~ration. Hence we are deeply and sin
cerely sorry that President Garfield
should have been foully murdered in the
zenith of his earthly glory and the very
beginning Of his administration of the
Government. We believe that he had a
heart as large as his head, and all for the
people. We join with the millions in
dropping a tear On his bier.
James A. Garfield was born in the town
of Orange, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, Nov.
10, 1881, and was therefore in his fiftieth
year al the time Of his death. He grad
uated ut Williams College, Massachu-
sets, in 1856; was President of a lit
erary institution for several years; studied
and practiced law; was a Cambellite
preacher for a time, member of the State
Senate of Ohio in lS59-60; entered the
Union Army in 1861 as Colonel of the
Forty-second Ohio Volunteers; was pro-
NOTED to the rank of Brigadier- General,
Jan. 10. 1862; was appointed Chief of Staff
of the Army Of the Cumberland, and
was promoted to the rank of Major-Gen-
eral, Sept. 20, 1862; served in the Lower
House Of Congress is years; was elected
to the U. s. Senate and subsequently
to the Presidency Of the United States
in 1850. His public services were not
only numerous but conspicuous. The
country will profoundly mourn the death
of President Garfield.

into the fight with dead loads of probable
Federal patronage at his back. At latest
accounts Conkling was ahead. He has

and at the head Of his victorious legion

confident assurance that his assault will
prove successful. Should Garfield die in

They are very level, and . gsod view of the course can be obtained from the grand stand. The buildings are small, but of good architectural de- sign. Some of the displays deserve especial mcntion-notably the choice collection Of farm products and spec, linens of timber exhibited by the l.. R. & F. S. Ky. Co. All the scenes which are usually on far grounds were prominent there. The gaming devicss-oll and revised editions, the wheezy hand organ. the cries of the vendor of pill boxes, the soap man, the bird man, the three legged cali, and the fire eaters who stood out side of rival shows and puffed smoke from their mouths ts the delight of the multitude. The racing was de. clared exscrable by some-and ex
 esllent by others. This feature was dsubtless overdene. Upon the whole, the exhibition exceeded the expectations of many of it's friends, and will certainly improve and re- fleet credit upon the state under it's present efficient management.
