The thTee-mile single scplling match Al
Washington City Saturday afternoon be
tween Murray, Of Portsmouth, Va, and VIM
BriCeland, Of this city, resulted in an easy
victory for Briceland. The water was in ex,
cellent condition for racing purposes, being
as smooth us glass from the start to the finish,
The course was from a point opposite the
Potomac boat house up stream, distance
stated TO be one mile and half and return,
Mr.. L. r, Dodge, OF the Potomac Boat
Club, acted as referee. Both men rowed In
Waters paper boats, Murray had the yir.
GINA side, which Is considered the best
water.
Murray took water first, and led for the
first thrce-quarters, when Briceland. who
was pulling a magnificent stroke, took the
lead by about length, until at the turning
flag, In attempting to turn the stake,
BFiCeland turned wrong, and had 10 60 about
and make complete turn, and before he re-
covered, Murray had secured a lead OF about
six lengths. Briceland's hackers felt little
shaky at the turn OF affairs, but
the sturdy Wheeling boy, after heading
for home, settled down TO work, and by
some Of the finest skulling ever seen In the
vicinity, be Overhauled Murray In splendid
style and crossed the line winner fully ten
lengths in advance, in - minutes and Is
seconds, The victory seemed to give entire
satisfaction to the spectators, who cheered
the victor to the echo The distance rowed
Is fully three and quarter miles, so that the
time made is excellent. The Wheeling party,
though small, won big money, us the hackers
Of Murray were confident Ofyictory.
Murray is % years Of age, stands feet .
inches and weighs Isl pounds. He pulled
his first raCe at Saratoga In 1879 In the regatta
Of the National Association. He was entered
In the junior and senior singles, both Of
which he won. At the SeekOnk regatta In
1870 he was beaten by Holmes, GaisCl and

The President at Long Branch.

1t appears to have become painfully
evident to the surgeons attending Pre-
sident Garfield that there was no lon
ger a possible chance for his recovery
at Washington, and late last week
they determined to remove him from
the malarial influences of that re-
gion at the first favorable moment.
The locality seemed to be against him,
and after mature deliberation, in which
all the hazards of a change and the
fatigue of railroad journey in his
feeble condition we're considered, 1t
was decided that the removal could be
made with reasonable degree of safe
ty, and that he should be To- ken to
Long Branch, where it is hoped the
pure breezes of the ocean will give him
at least an additional chance for life.
Arrangements for the removal were
Immediately made, and in all respects
they seem to have been perfect. y
special train was provided and held in
readiness for use at short notice. On
Tuesday morning last the opportune
mement came. At an early hour the
President was carefully taken from
the room in which he had spent so
many painful and trying hours, and
placed in the car prepared for his trans
portation. The train steamed from
the Washington depot, and rapidly
wended its way to the sea side resort.
The early departure of the train from
Washington was quickly telegraphed
over the land, and the prayers of a
Nation went up to Heaven for the
comfort and safety of the precious life
that it bore. 1t was an eventtul jour
ney that will long be remembered.
There was profound concern every
where; every one was anxious for
news, and the dispatches announcing
the progress of the train and its safe
arrival at its destination we're eagerly
read.
1t was gratifying to learn that the
Journey had been made with so little
trouble, and that the suffering Presi.
dent bore up under the change so
bravely. 1t was to be expected that
his pulse would rise under the excite
ment Of the trial which he was to un-
dergo, and this was the case, but yester-
day the physicians report that his con-
dition is normal and that he has re.
coved from the fatigue of the trip. Oh
course, there will be great anxiety for
the next few days, and We can only
hope for the best. The dispatches in
another column give full accounts oil
the journey and of the Presidents con-
dition up to the time this issue of the
DEMOCRAT goes to press.

A Republican Campaigner.

The following extract from one Of
Guiteau's campaign speeches last year
shows that he told the truth when he
declared that he was "a stalwart of
the stalwarts :"
"This is the issue--a solid North
against n solid South. Tho North con.
quered the South on the field Of battle
and now they must do it at the polls in
November, or they may have TO fight
another war. Gc men whose sons per.

prospect Of another war, make Han.

comes the grandest and wealthicst ma
ton on the globe
Such, remarks the Uollidaysburg
Standard, was the "bloody shirt" pro-
claimed from the stump bv the brutal
wretch, in behalf of the Republican
cause. In giving uttcrancc to such alb
surd stuff, Guitcau was simply follow.
ing the example set him by the Repub-
lican campaign speakers, and the Re
publican organs all over the country.
1t was the old, old story, and as he was
a representative Republican, he no
doubt felt that he was proving his ical-
ty to his party when ,hc repeated it
from the stump. If Guitcan had been
a Democrat, the Republicans would
have charged that the Democratic par
ty was responsible for his diabolical at
tempt to a,sassinatc the Republican
president. Of course such 4 charge
would have been preposterou-, but ne.
verihclcss it would have aroused a
strong prejudice in the minds of many
crcdulous persons against the Demo
cratic party. But no sane person would
charge that Democrats are in any way
responsible for the attempt to take Pre-.
sident Garfeld's life, since the vaga-
bond who committed the crime boast
ed that he was a "Stalwart," aud that
his object was to unite the Republican
party and to make Arthur President.

THE terrible drouth which has pre-

the most disastrous that has occurred
in this generation at least. The corn

more difficult to obtain, even at high

be jewel, but it is not to be found in

THE Republican journals express
great fear that the admission of Miller
and Lapham, the New York Senators
elect, will be resisted by the Demo.
Gratis either for irregularity in their
election, or that some complication as
yet undetermined may arrest the con.
trolling power Of the Vice President.
Their fears in this case seem TO he in.
spired from their deservngs, and that
the Democrats might be tempted to
cast aside all decency and propriety
to follow the precedents SO proiusely
furnished by the Republicans. If the
Democrats were influenced by the same
mean spirit which has governed the
opposition, there might be cause of ap-
prehension, but the possession of n few
paItry offices has not allured them
heretofore, and it is not likely that
such considerations can induce them
to take up Republican precedents as a
rule of action now. The course of the
Democrats, we are glad to believe, has
ever been lawful and honorable, and
the fact that they waited weeks at the
extra.session to permit the Republi'
cans 10 Gil vacancies before organizing
the Senate, might be an assurance that
they could not adopt the dirty tricks
of their opponents TO secure mean adj
vantages, even with the numerous Re
publican examples before them as a
plea of justification. If it Is proper
that Miller and Lapham should be ad.
mitted, and there is legal officer TO
qualify them for membership, certain

ship, and the Republicans have not a
sufficient number of votes to elect this
officer, there is no reason in the world
why DEMOCRATS should ignore their
own party affiliations to aid them.
Courtesy is very weh when it is recip-
rocal, but when one party repudiates
the sentiment when it suits them to do
so, the other need not be bound by it.
We therefore trust that the Democrats
of the Senate will select distinguished
member Of their own party for Presi-
dent of the Senate and vote for him
If elected, the country will not lose by
it, and if not, it will be at least notice
to the opposition that courtesy must
not always be on one side.
