An Immense Mass-Meetiug OF New York
Business Men to IndOrse Arthur's Can
didacy.
New YORK, May 2l.--The mass meeting

bya large number of representative business
men who are In favor of the nomination of

Of the largest political gatherings ever wit

announced for the meeting to open the large
hall was packed to overlooking, and hun
dreds lett, being unable to obtain admission.

tiOnal airs. c. n. Bliss called the meet
of the meeting, after brief address, in
which he stated the object of the meeting,

the resolutions indorsing the President.
The resolutions declare deep interest by
the business men of the city in the welfare
of the country, and express desire that
President Arthur may be nominated for a
number of reasons. lie assumed the office
under circumstances of great delicacy; he
has borne himself, personally and officially,
so as to inspire confidence; he has brought
order on. of confusion, and the country has
been peaceful and safe and the Administra-
ton has been pure. lie has been President
of the whole people. His financial views
and his actions regarding the currency, re-
ductlon of taxation, public economy and
the proper protection OF American industry
meet with our heartiest appreciation. lie
is commended for his efforts to separate
civil service from political partisanship.
His judicial appointments have been
impartial and free from political
bias. Judges Gray and BlatchfOrd are
cited as examples. lie has been President
himself, and has not used his official patron
age in any way to promote his own political
future. All the Republican conventions
have thus far approved unqualifedly of his
Administration. The last section of the
resolution Is as follows:
If asked whether President Arthur can
carry the State of New York, we answer I'M
hestatingly that he can, and he will be tri-
umphanty elected. To the accomplishment
Of this end we pledge our un~esried efforts.

mits Suicide in Consequence of Scam
dal.
MEDFoRD, Wis, May 21.-Dr. Singleton

will amount to $4,000 or $4,000 He left
his interest in the bank to his banking part
ner, j. IL. Wheeock, and his medical outfit
to his medical partner DR.. Phelan.

change, which he founded to do kind of
banking business He was a member of
several secret societies and was very popu-
lar in the community.

against hydrophobia. Prof. Pasteur claims
that he has discovered specific for the
prevention of rabies in the human being
the remedy being the incubation of the per
son with virus originally taken from rabid
animal and weakened by scientific process
of TRANSMISSION through other animals of in
ferior size and lower vitality. NJ. Pasteur
is enthusiastic over his discovery, and claims
to have made such thorough experiments as
to be absolutely certain in his hypothesis
1t is reported that the eminent professor
proved his devotion to science and his faith
in the efficacy of his discovery by experiment
ing upon himself by first inducing mild
form of rabies by incubation and then al
lowing himself to be bitten by rabid dog.
NJ. Pasteur in the conclusion of his essay
urged the academy to memorabilia the Gov
eminent to appoint an official commission
to thoroughly investigate the subject by
means of experiments upon voluntary sub
iects or condemned prisoners. He insists
that the process will be without peril and
almost without pain, and that the boon to
humanity in conquering hyrophobia would
far outweigh the small risk which would be

The Duty of Good Citizens.

Rev. +. Il. Hale, of Boston, who is
known all over the country as an au-
thor, and also as a high-minded and
purely patriotic citizen, has written a
IeUter 10 we" IoIn .nu~l'.rs,'NaIo,
i'm which he discusses the ''independ
entn boiling movement from the stand
point of duty tc the country and TO
conscience. In his letter he poiuts out
that previous to 1861, the government
was controlled by southern oligar-
chy, greatly to the injury of the ma
ton: that since 1861 it has been con
trolled by the north, and IN this
period have been made the great
est advances in our national his
tory. and for the first time there is
an effort to make tie government rep
resent those principles on which we
all say it is founded; and that it now
appears that "the solid southern oil
garchy, by combination with the vo-
ters of the worst and most degraded
wards of New York city hope to re-
gain the power tney lost III 1901, The
independents ask him to assist this
combination, but does Rot think he
shall He points out that the election
of democratic president involves al
so the election Of n democratic con
gress. which will III can mischief while
the election Of "a republican president
will involve the election OF n repuhli-
can congress, Which. even if it should
not do much z bod will p event much
harm Aud he adds. that ''the ohiec
ton urged to Mr.. Blaine in the jour
mails edited b Englishmen. is that h :
policy will be national or American.
With my views the politics OF the
| world, this is not a serious objection. >.
Mr.. Hale says not IA word about par
ty allegiance, the obligation to support
a regular nomination, or party advan-
tage in any form. He discusses the
question wholly from the standpoint
of the best attainable good for the
country, and the highest good of the
citizen. His letter will haye a large
influence among the class of high
minded voters TO whom it is particular
ly addressed. Post gnd Tribune.

The republican party is now playing
one of its old lodges. 1t is making
the democrats believe they can carry
the country on a straight democratic
ticket. In fact, that they will have n
regular land slide, and that Blaine
will be showed under. Republicans
don't want the democrats to nominate
Butler. He is the only man they fear.
After the democracy has put an old
lican ranks will close up. The thun-
der and shell of the republican party
will blow the democrats all to pieces.
Blaine will be elected, and Butler will
stand second bost and be elected in
1888. The democrats will get their
eyes open too late as usual. .-Ldnsing
Sentinel What a ridiculous old thing
it is. The republicans care little who
the democrats do nominate. Ii they
have any preferences, it would be for
IA regular democrat TO be nominated,
so that they could have fair fight,
with one of themselves and not a dis
gruntled republican or a member of a
party without either principles or fol
lowing. Thunder and shell is good,
but it is powder, shot and shell that
the republican guns are loaded with.
Land slides do not occur in November,
and its the other fellow that will be
showed under. We always supposed
that the greenbackers were the sleep
ing partners of the democrats, but il
seems thst we were mistaken. Even
if the desires of the greenbackers, la.
Dor reforIners and what is it's could bt
accomplished, they might spit but the
democrats will do the chewing. Why
should itnot do so, after going through
the process of masticating and swal
lowing such 49,, for the purpose oi
succeeding. and 40 other, as they have
10 principles.

The First Hat in Twenty Years.

Men very often during election
times, especially presidential, make
some very reckless wagers and do
some exceedingly foolish things. On
the day before the presidential cleo
ton in 1864, when Lincoln and Nc
Clellan were opposing candidates,
William Baker, wealthy Missouri
farmer, was i'm st. Louis He was "a
strong democrat and an ardent ad-
mlrer of Little Mac" He bet sever
al thousand dollars on the election,
and when he could get no more bets
he called for notary public, and in
the presence of a number of friends
and neighbors took IA solemn oath
that he would never wear hat until a
democrat was elected president. In
consequence of that foolish oath he
has been going bearheaded for the
past q years. At each recurring cleo
ton he would work and pray for the
democracy to win, and when the news
would come that the republicans were
victorious he would remark. well, |
will wear a hat after the next cleo
ton" Several years siuce he went to
California. His constantly being with
out hat when at home or i'm the city,
rain or shine, made him an object of
curiosity, and his eccentricity was re-
marked upon by strangers and others
IN ways very annoving tC his family.
Last Friday one of his sons was to the
city, and returning to the ranch in
tor1neu ms dgeu Idtitf Oi tnc reSuit On
the Chicago convention Tie news
almost paralyzed the old gentleman.
He exclaimed: What did you say 4!
Blaine and Logan too? This is too
much. There is no longer any hope
for the old man. Hitch up the mare,
go the city, and buy your father hat.
If any one asks you what is the mat
ter with me, tell them that the old man
says he has been making a id fool
of himself for twenty years, and now
he is going to war hat and vote for
Blaine. y EG.

The Big Rapids Herald, dem says ::
There was more pure Hnalloyed de
mocracy concentrated in the Detroit
convention, than at any similar gath
ering IN Michigan in twelve years 1t
SCENE as if the democrats were at last
determined on shaking off the repub-
lican sore-head fingers that they have
so long carefully hursed, and were
bound TO get back 10 first principles
democratic measures, and democrats
to carry them out" You may think
so. But the delegates from Michigan
TO the convention at Chicago, will be
among the first TO vote for ali unmean-
ing stradding platform, and for some
nendescript as their standarl-bearer.
The democratic party has been actin Z
as "wet nurse" to sore-headed repub-
licans since 1872, and they may resolve
as much as they like, they will keep
on nursing week-kneed members of any
party that wants nourishment

resolution that their tails should all
be cut Off He spoke eloquently in its
favor, but the opposition was so strong
that the resolution was not voted on.
There will be no direct vote this fall
as the democrats will evade the issue
10y straddling, with the expectation of
succeeding in accomplishing their end
in some indirect and evasive way, and
put the American laborer on the same
footing, and that is TO work at starva-
tion rates and end his days in the Un
