Haverlys European Mastodon Minstrels opened
last night at Ford's Opera House to a packed
audience. As a curious coincidence 1t may be men,
toned that this company was ut Ford's at the
time of Garhelds inauguration, the band taking a
part in the inaugural procession. They opened
at the Opera House ON the 10th of September
the night of Garfeld's death, and now,
after an extended tour through the ex-
treme Northwest they returned to this city
on the day of the Garfield memorial services
The performance last night was fulyup to the high
standard adopted by this company and each OF
the artists was loudly encored. Many new features
have been introduced while all of the old favorites
retain their places. This company is one of the
best minstrel trOupes that has ever visited
this city, and is deservedly popular, The
rush for seats was so great that many
who had provided themselves with reserved seat
tickets were unable to obtain accommodation.
Manager Ford stated last night that those holding
tickets who were disappointed will be entitled TO
exchange tickets for any night during the week.
As there will be an entire change Of programme
each night, u successful engagement may be pre-
diCted,

The Lamented Garfield and WhiteIaw
Reid.

Mr.. Blaine, in his Grafton yesterday, in
speaking of the late presidential cam
paign, said:
AS candidate Garfield steadily grew in popular
favor. He was met with storm of detraction at
the very hour of his nomination, and 1t continued
with increasing volume and momentum until the
close Of his victorious campaign, Indeed
nothing in his whole life is more remarkable or
more creditable than his bearing through those
five full months of vituperation-a prolonged
agony Of trial to sensitive man, constant and
cruel draft upon the powers of moral endurance.
The great mass Of these unjust imputations passed
unnohced, and with the general debris of the
campaign fell into oblivion. But IN a Je,C Instances
The ,on entered his soul and he died tUiM The injury
an,torOoYcn il not u'gorgiUen.
The agony referred to in relation to the
few instances when "the iron entered
his soul and he died with the injury I'M
forgotten if not unforgiyen" naturally
refers to the following, among other at
tacks, from Whitelaw Reid's Tribune in
1873, and which were quoted with such
yehemence by the opposition speakers
and press during the campaign.
Here is the language used in the Til
bune, February 10, 1873:
James A. Garfield, Of Ohio, had ten shares he
never paid a dollar; received $500 which, after the
investigation began, ho was anxious tohave con-
sidered AZ loan from Oakes Ames himself These
men betrayed the trust Of the people deceived
their constituents ana by their evaslons and false
hoods confessed the transactions TO be dsgraceful
How this "injury unforgotten if not
unforgiven" by the dying Garfield must
cause remorse to rankle in the soul of this
notorious delamer.

his portrait this morning. He thought
the road had forkod when that was

In reference TO the Independent State
campaign in Alabama in 1880, it should
be stated that fundswere not solicited by
the State committee for the election OF
State officers in August. The returns
show that the Republican vote in August
was larger than in November in many
counties. TIE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN is
not inclined to underrate the zeal of any
Republicans anywhere. 1t is, however,
strong in the belief that Southern
Republicanism, unaided by Independents
and fair-eection Democrats, is phantom
ship and that what is needed everywhere
is substantial and earnest endeavor to
form party Of all who are opposed to
Bourbon rule. This new party cannot
promise everybody an Office, but it can
make the South better place to live in
and as fast as it supplants the old order
of things immigration and capital will
take notice that they are wanted
We eXhort our friends everywhere to
stop all discussion as TO who deserves the
most praise or blame for past success or
failure, and to date 4 new departure from
this year of our Lord 1889. We have an
Administration that seeks TO leave behind
il a restored country, The millennium is
not near at hand, but it can be fastened
by banishing from the stage the old sec
tional, proscriptive Bourbon party. The
National Republican party must be made
broad enough for all who have put of
their mourning for slavery and the con

Mr.. Blaino's Grafton ON g


The oration pronounced-' -'1ariieid.
Mr.. Blaine in eulogy $50, yesterday by
ldant or ,yboso Co,sii'of the dead Presi-
,w,s...,, ,l,neriesUinet he was the head,
lir, as equ,sl TO the great occasion. 1t is
remarkable for the stately simplicity of
its language and the intellectual repose
evidenced by its tone. We can recall no
performance of Mr. Blaine's during his
public career in which there is less to
ciitiCise. The narrative of his dead
friends life from boyhood to the fatal
end is the very best relation of an Oft
told tale. Personal characteristics are
brought out in connection with the
works of their possessor, and every
where the man rs well as his
deeds are present. The words of eulogy
are not expected to be the words of cfiti-
rism. The Congress of the United States
had invited the most conspicuous of all
the late Presidents intimate friends to
present to the world the claims of the
Industrious dead to be kindly remembered
by mankind, and right well did that
friend respond Future biographers may
,1nore nicely weigh the military and civic
achievements of General Garfield, and
temper present eulogy with colder pre-
cision, but now and here none would have
had flower less in the beautiful garland
woven by Mr.. Blaine in honor of the
Nations dead.
Important factor rs Mr.. Blaine was
in the stormy political occurrences oi
last spring he might reasonably have
been expected to allude in his eulogy to
the fact that there had been a controversy.
Whether it was necessary in such an allu
sion to make assertions which have been
and may again be the subject of heated
dispute is mainly matter of taste, with
which we need not deal. They were pref
need by declaration that the occasion
was not one on which to "speak the lam
guage of controversy" and if the orator
seemed to enter upon that forbidden
realm it is not necessary that any should
follow him. What was said in that re-
gard may not necessarily have implied
questionable motives in others, and we
pass it by.
OF the Grafton as a whole we think it
deserving of the highest praise and Mr.
Blaine will have the Nations thanks fol
his splendid contribution to its history.
