The President Dead !
A NATION IN MOURNING {!

We are compelled to announce to
our readers the sad fact that the Presi
dent Of the United Statcs-James A.
Garfeld-who was duly elected last
November, died on Monday night, the
10Th inst, at 1898 o'clock, at Long
Branch, New Jersey, where he had
been removed to a fortnight ago. His
death is a National calamity, Gpi-
teau's bullet and the manifest ignor.
ance of the doctors who failed to find
the ball combined caused his death.
On Tuesday morning the Court House
and all the church bells in town were
tollei in respect to his memory. The
Nation is in mourning and tears for
the loss of its Chief Magistrate.
Arrangements in regard to the fu-
neral will be made IN accordance with
Mrs. Garheld's wishes, 1t is probable
the body will be taken to Cleveland,
Ohio, on Friday evening, where they
will lie in state during Sunday, and the
funeral will take place on Monday.
The place of interment will be Lake
View Cemetery, at Cleveland, in ac-
cordance with a frequently expressed
wish of the President in his lifetime.

DEATH OF GENERAL A. h.
BURNSIDE.


General Ambrose L. Burnside died
suddenly at bis home in Bristol, r. l.,
near Providence, on Tuesday morning
oflast week. in the 5sth year fhis age,
He had been slightly unwel for two
or three days, but was in Providence
on Monday. The immediate cause of
his death was spasms OF the heart. A
telephone message from the Generals
house summoned Senator Anthony
and DR.. Miller, but before the tcle.
phone connection was broken a mes.
sage came that the General was dead.
An exchange commenting on his
death remarks
"The death OF General Ambrose f..
Burnside will be widely and sincerely
lamented throughout the country. He
was one OF the few distinctive charac-
ters Of prominence created by the war.
Although he never reached the plane
of greatness in either field or forum,
ho was sternly honest and faithful in
all his public efforts, and no unsuc-
cessful soldier commanded more gen.
eral respect from the country.
General Burnside was called to the
head OF the army Of the Potomac at a
most unfortunate period of the war,
and it is no more than fair to say that
impossibililies were expected OF him.
Like the honest, blunt soldier he al.
ways was, he received his high com
mission with unaffected reluctance and
avowed regret and manfully admitted
his inability to meet the exacting de.
mands of iretted and anxious nation.
He fought one great battle, fought it
badly, lost II and told the truth about it,
and soon after gladly resigned the com.
mand to return to the head of the gal.
liant corps he ever fought with so well.
Had he never been called to the head
of the Army of the Potomac, be would
have ranked among the great louten.
ants of the war but even with failure
at Fredericksburg, his only great bat
tie as commander, the country never
ceased to pay him the homage due to
its truest and best defenders.
The political career of Gen. Burnside
was much like his military career.
He never rose TO greatness in the
Senate, but there, as elsewhere, he
commanded the boundess confidence
and respect Of all. He wes true
soldier, true statesman and true
patriot, and his memory will be green
while the heroes of the saved Republic
are oherished by our neonle.n

true that professional etiquette con.

part of the treatment Of the case.
There ia no good reason why they

SOME GOSPEL.

The editor OF the Petroleum World,
Radical journal OF the straightcst
sect, pronounces the nomination of
Gen. Bailey "a calamity" and details
il as follows:
"No rational, non.partisan citizen
who has noticed the progress Of Penn.
sylvania Repubhcanism for the past
year can contemplate tho nomination
Of General Bailey for State Treasurer
as other than party calamity of the
gravest character. 1t is not the polit.
loal antecedents Of the candidate to
which this class Of citizens will object,
nor to the personal fitness Of General
Bailey for The office these considera.
tions may be conceded to be in his
favor, and we need not pause to discuss
them. But the circumstances which
led up to and affected his nomination,
and the political records OF the gentle.
men who conducted his canvass are
such as render the result Of the contest
matter of regret to every intelligent
independent Republican in the State.
"Senator Davies is defeated, and
why2 Because he was personally un.
fit for the Officer No man dares make
such a charge. Because he has been
wavering in his party faith or unfaith-
ful to his constituents No intimation
to that effect has ever been whispered
against him. Because he lacked abll.
ity? Ho has long and brilliantly rep.
resented one Of the most intelligent
constituencies in the State, Why, then,
was he defeated 7 Simply and solely
because he presumed to defy the Bosses
and obey the wishes of his constituents
in the Senatorial struggle last Winter,
He held the will of the people superior
to the mandates Of the party machine,
and he has suffered the consequences.
His defeat Is noble one. 1t is the
tribute which the party Bosses pay to
his manly Independence He should
be proud OF it, 1t becomes him better
than any event in his whole career in
the public service.
General Bailey was nominated, and
why 2 Because of his brilliant polti.
cal service which made him dear TO the
hearts OF the great masses Of the
Republican partyH He was almost
unknown to the State three weeks ago,
Because of his outshadowing respect
Tor the popular will? He ignored and
betrayed it in the Chicago Convention
of 1880. Because ofsurpassing talents
or over.exalted abiityl If he pos.
sesses them he has been hiding them
under a bushel these many years.
Why was he nominated2 ? Solely be-
cause he had bowed to the Bosses and
shown the requisite servility for a
place in their service. We Concede
the excellence OF his personal charac.
ter and his ability too, for that matter,
but that does not ,extenuate the fact
that he is a creature of the machine
