TIE suspense is over-President
Garfield is dead Since the morn
ing of the second day of July last,
when the news first flashed over
the country that the President had
been shot down by cowardly viii
lain, the whole people have watch
ed his illness with a feverish anx-
iety. Never, perhaps, since the
world began, has any ruler of a
people possessed more unanimous
ly and more sincerely the synpa-
thy of the people. AS every hope
full symptom that manifested itself
after he was first stricken was
flashed over the wires, CORES
ponding thrill OF hope animated
the breasts of millions who watch
ed for tidings. When the tele-
graph told that his symptoms were
less hopeful, grief filled the breasts
of the people throughout the land.
So the Presidents life was watched
for the seventy odd days of his ILL
ness with alternating hope and
fear. Now that he is dead, the
people will not be divided in their
grief. With q heartfelt earnest
ness our country mourns bis loss.
The long illness had gradually
prepared the nation for the
change. There will be none of
the wild excitement there would
have been if the President had died
Instantly on being shot. The
spirit of resentment toward, and
suspicion of, the Vice-President
has had time to calm, and he may
now assume the management oi
affairs quietly. There was time
when it might have been dsnger-
Gus for him.

The Democratic nominating con-
vention for this county met at the
Court House on Tuesday afternoon
last, and, as a result of its labors pre-
pared a ticket which will be found on
the opposite page The secretary-if
the convention had one-certainly
misunderstood his position, as the
press has not received line from him
IN regard to the proceedings of the
august assemblage. The system of
denying reporter admission to eonven-
tions OF political nature is relic of
sold-fogyism" which all intelligent

done away with.

MR. JONES REPLIES TO HR. FRYEs SPEECH AND
Mr.. HoAR TAKES HAND IN THE DISCUSSION.
Mr. Edmunds asked leave for the committee
on the judiciary to sit during the recess of the
Senate If that should ever occur. to pursue
some Investigations upon the subject OF bank
1uptcy. Without objection leave was grantei.
The Vice President laid before the Senate the
unfinished business. being the resolution for
the election OF Senate officers.
The usual motion to go into executive ses-
sion was lost-yeas a. nays 2f.
MIR. JONES REPLIES TO MR. FRYE.
MI: Jones lFla: regretting the absence OF the
reply to certain portions OF t that p gentlemans -
speech. He had delivered speech which was
remarkable In many respects. In the first place,
It came lrom new member; in the second, it
American people. He (Mr. Jones) had not
locked for such harangue from that quarter
He had been mortified when he heard the SEN
ator from Maine getting into little mar
row groove, and undertaking to disparage and
condemn whatever he could find objection
sde abie ID IN any qnatter OF THIS country The Sen
Iorth as the school book and the Bible:
that OF the south as the civilization OF
slavery and barbarism. The time had
end. Were the southern people responsible
for that barbarism? Were the people OF New
England responsible for 1t? No! II had been
mother country-and upheld for years under
the imperial power OF Great Britain. The s.a5e
from which he came was no more responsible
for slavery Or the evils growing out of it than
the PEOPLE OF any OF the states of the Union
In this connection he read from Burke's speech
IN defence CT the colonies, In which occurs the
sentiment that the love OF liberty exists strong
est among the masters of slaves.
Mr.. HOar.-DOeS the Senator endorse th at
passage OF Burkes and affirm Its truth; or does
he believe that it contains as much ralsenood
as was ever put together?
Mr.. Jones-l don't believe that there is any
faiSehood In It.
Mr.. Hoar-Does the Senator now affirm that
liberty exists In greater purity among the mas
tiers OF slaves?
MIR. Jones-I undertake to put the opinien OF
great political philosopher against the o9,n-
Ion of the Senator from Maine, and the Senator
has no right to call for any ABSTRACT opinion of
mine On this question OF the past. l believe
that the observations OF Burke were founded
In true philosophy.
Mir. Hoar-The Senator has stated the pre-
else Issue which divides the two parties In thl9
chamner ano Ia the counsry, and we accept 1t.
MIR. Jones-My opinion would be worth ve:y
little On the question which is no longer prac-
ticable; hut when we'come to indulge IN rea ,on-
ipgs IL is legitimate to put the opinion OF Mr.
Burke against the opinion OF Mir. Frye.

The document asking for caucus OF republ,-
can Senators has been signed by fourteen Seua-
tors, but has not yet been delivered to the
chairman OF the caucus. 1t will be presented
to him within day or two, and there will be
no alternative but to Issue the CALL The
custom fixes the right OF five Senators to have
a caucus called, and when request. signed as
the one now In existence IS, by fourteen, y
presented there is no way OF avoiding the cali.
The Stalwart element is fighting caucrs
The President has IN plain terms de-
clsred his desire to have his nominations acted
upon. The Robertson case and its antagonisms
causes opposition to the Presidents wishes
and this is one cause OF the delay. Another Is
the fear on the part OF some of the Senators
that by holding caucus and cOnsenting to go
into executive session. the republican program,
decided upon at the last caucus in regard to the
election OF Senate officers, viii be surrendered.
The need for action upon the nominations has,
however. become 50 imperative that all other
considerations Will have TO give way. Arepub-
l1can Senator said this morning 10 STAR re
porter that the caucus "muSt be held very
