Interview with President Garfield by
Virginia Republicans.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE executive COM
mittee of the Virginia Republican Association,
headed by Gen. Wickham and Represents
tives Dessendorf and Jorgensen, had q long in
terview with the President this afternoon on
the political situation in that state, with a
view to securing his support for regular Re-
publican organization. In reply to the state
ment made by Gen. Wickham of the
objects Of the delegation the President
is reported to have said he was positively and
emphatically opposed to any party or people
whose belief would initiate against the public
faith and credit. 1t was for them (Republi.
cans of Virginia) to decide whether or not the
Readjuster movement was tainted with repu-
diation. If it were they ought not to support
it.
Regarding the federal patronage of Virginia
the President is represented as saying that,no
one was authorized to promise appointments
for him or to threaten removals. That in
making appointments to Office he proposes at
all times to use his own Judgment and not be
dictated to by any man, and that his appoint
ments shall always be made, FIRST with q view
to the public good; and second, with view to
the capacity and character of the applicant;
that he is opposed to the "Boss" system in
politics, and does not propose 10 give patronage
in any State into the hands of any one man.

In the providence OF God it becomes
our painful duty to record the death of q
prominent member of Zion Ev. Lutheran
Church near Eaton.
LEVI A. CREAeoR, a son OF Ezra and
Della Creager, well known / this COM
munity, died of Typhoid fever at his late
residence in Monroe township, on the
22d OF September, after an illness Of near
four weeks at the age of 80 years. B
months and II days. He was born In
Washington township, Preble county, o.,
April 9th, 1912. In his infancy he was
dedicated to God in holy baptism, and in
his eighteenth year this solemn covenant
was ratified by his confirmation as q
| member of the Evangelical Lutheran
Church in which he remained a consis-
tent and faithful member until death.
On the 18th day of June, 1887, it wa
the writer's privilege to solemnize his
marriage with Miss Mary E. Kayler, a
daughter of Benjamin and Elizabeth
Kayler, also long and favorably known
to a large number of u citizens. She
| with her two daughters and a little son
now mourn his early death. He leaves
in addition to these his aged father, who
is in feeble health, and mother, besides
two brothers and six sisters, all Of whom
1 WGTc pTGS6IlI dD ilI6 luucIdl, WILL bLlO Ca
ception of the youngest, Mrs. Crisler,
who is living in the State of Iowa. In
| deep sorrow these now bow resignedly
to the Lords will.
Our departed brother was aware that
typhoid fever was a desperate foe to con-
tend with. Like a true warrior he pre-
pared himself for the conflict. But his
| weapons were not carnal, but spiritual.
| Gods Word directed him to the Father
of mercies in prayer. His ~pleadings
were most earnest and fervent in behalf
of those so near and dear unto him.
| whilst his own soul was commended to
the shepherd care of the Lord Jesus
Twas we'll he did 80.
"Pray'r is the christians vital breath,
The christians native air,
His watchword at the gate of death
He enters heav'n with pray'r."
Thus passed away the soul of our brother.
His ARRANGEMENTS for the temporal flu
ture of his family were made in few, but
clear and distinct words. They will be
faithfully complied with.
As a citizen he filled various offices of
trust with credit to himself. In the
church he was an active and energetic
worker. He occupied a prominent place
in the erection of our new church build
ing. Whilst the pastor is aware that he
has other brethren equally active, he
nevertheless realizes that the loss of this
dear brother will be deeply felt. It will
be equally so in his family. Who a
tell Of his kind and faithful wife's sor-
row? Alas! none but the Searcher of
hearts. His dear children scarcely know
their loss. Together they have the SYM
pathy of u entire community.
But, why indulge longer in these sad
communings? Let us rather draw a veil
over this sorrow and commend the be-
reaved to God and to the word of his
grace, which is able to build them up,
and to give them an inheritance among
those who are sahctifed.
And now, whilst we say the sad fare
we'll, brother! let us also with a resign
| ed spirit add: Peace be with thee.

EDITOR REGIsTER-We have before us
the Register of Sept. 10, in which is an
editorial, a few points OF which we ask
space to consider, as It concerns the par
ty to which we belong and We desire that
the people shall be correctly informed.
The first is hat concerning the circu-
lar letter sent out 10y the Anti-Liquor Al
lance. The. excuse that the letter was
anonymous is a very poor one. It was
signed the "Preble County Anti-Liquor
Alliance" That organization is fully Of
ficered, whose duty it is TO send out such
orders as the Alliance may choose. The
President lives in Eaton, to whom all
communications were directed to be ad-
dressed.
You say "Both parties had tickets in
the field. Both had declared their posi-
ton on the liquor question:" This is
true, and had the Alliance acted on this
principle alone, the letter. never would
nave been issued. But Republicans and
the Republican press have been declar-
ing, and in this article you have said that
platforms of parties are of minor signif-
cance." The platform ofthe Republican
party declares in favor Of not submitting
this question to the people, but of allow
ing it to rest with the Legislature. This
the people of Ohio have twice decided
shall not be, but that the people shall
control it in SO far that the traffic shall
not be licensed in its nefarious work.
Since, then, according to Republican
authority, platforms are of so little inn
portance, the Alliance wanted to know
the position of the candidates on this i'm
portant question. 1.-THE candidates are
not controlled by the platforms, what are
their positions ON this question as indi-
viduals? This we have q right to know,
and think we should have had a respect
full answer
Now, if any of these candidates are
temperance men and are in favor Of sup
pressing the traffic by constitutional pro-
hibition, and are not to be controlled by
the platforms, why will they not define
themselves publicly on the question P
They are public men, ~aspirants to public
favors, and cannot be known personally
to every one in the county. We must
therefore, take their public professions
as the truth until they are proven un
true. Then we presume the Democrat
are in favor of free whisky and the Re
publicans in favor of licensed dramshops
For the one have declared against al
sumptuary legislation, and the othei
against the present prohibition Of license
The Alliance acted on the profession
of the Republicans who declared that tn,
candidates are not controlled by the plat
forms. These candidates were not ask
ed to leave their party, or even TO sup
port one candidate ON the temperate,
State ticket. We did not ask them t,
come to us, but we proposed to 20 t,
them if they would declare publicly Il
favor Of supprsssing the dramshops b,
flaw. B.,
