GOVERNOR JARFB.

His Excellency, T. ]. JARVIS, spent several
days in the city during the past week. On
Tuesday evening he addressed q large con-
course Of citizens, in frgnt of the City Hall,
on the political issues f the day. We learn
that his speech was very conservative, so
much SO that the %irey-edge Of the partisan
in either party wps knocked of. OF course
it was a Democratic speech, made to adj
vance the interests of that party, but the
Governor is among that progressive class of
men who recognize the fact that the time
has passed for the hosting of the bloody
ensigns, such as tend to fire the mind of the
ignorant and unsuspecting during political
campaigns.
Since he has been in the Executive chair,
he has made every reasonable recommends
ton looking to the advancement of all the
people, regardless of their previous condi-
ton, as well as for the general welfare of
the State; and while we do not think that a
man should be very much praised for
having Gone his duty, such q few come up to
that point, it is . rarity. The Governor, in
our estimation, deserves the lasting graft
tude Of the colored people Of the State, es-
pecially for the interest taken by him in
their educational and industrial welfare.
1t would be a blessing to the people were
it 50 that none but men of conservative and
progressive views be allowed to canvass by
either party; then the friendly relations of
the races would stand the test of political
conflict without material injury.
The Governor, while in our city, was
royalty entertained by various civic organi-
cations, including the State guard. He ex-
presses himself as being highly pleased with
his visit.

the First Illinois Infantry. He became adj
jutant of his regiment and did good service.

ty, In 1851 he entered into practice with
his uncle. The next year he was elected
Prosecuting Attorney Of the Third Judicial
District, and later to the State Legislature,
being reelected three times. In 1853 he
was chosen o member Of Congress by a large
Democratic majority. AT the conclusion of

siege of Vicksburg. General Grant selected
him for consultation in consideration of his
services, and on July 4, 1868, he led the
march into Vicksburg; he improved bis
record during Sherman's march to the sea,
and was heroically brave under the most
circumstances When General
Mcpherson was killed, Logan succeeded him
in command of the army Of the Tennessee;
his exploits were always bold and fearless
throughout the long campaign.

The different methods of teaching music

ems are put forward, and their several
claims are strongly urged by their advocates.
These are the Fixed Do system, the Movable

able school suparintondcnts, principals and
teachers to gain some knowledge ofthe diff
ferent methods, it is proposed to hold a Sc
ries of meetings in connection with the
National Teachers Association, to be held
at Madison, Wis, July i6, II and lS, at
which these methods will be explained and
illustrated by their representatives. The
Movable Do system will be represented by

was recognized as the leader of the Repub

State, which position he resigned several
months after the dcsth ofthe lamented Pres
ident, owing to q difference in his ideas to
those of President Arthur on matters Of
public policy. Since his retirement from
the cabinet he has been engaged in literary
pursuits, having written during that period
his "Twenty Years in Congress" Through
his distinguished career, he has been always
regarded as aman of good temper and, TEN.
permanent, win a powerful intellectual vehe-
mencn. Dung his career in Congress and
the Senate he delivered many eloquent
speeches, among them his defense of Maine,
in reply to the reflections by the Hon. S, S.
Cox. on fishing bounties, the CONSUMPTION
bill, the si'er question, the army appropia-
ton bi i. AID other subjects. His studies
have always been largely on political ques-
tons and history. In his early college days
he was noted for his early love Of American
history, which, in his subsequent yevrs, he
cultivated, and at the present time it would
be impossible to find q man in the Union
who could, without reference, give so many
accurate facts and statistics relating to the
financial and revenue system, and, in fact, to
everything that constitutes and includes the
deve%lopements, achievements, and success of
the United Sites.

you were one of the most bitter and uncom-

JAMES G. LLAINE.
Review OF His Brilliant Career.

James G.. Blaine was born January 3rd
1880, at Indian Hill farm, Washington coun
ty, Penn, on the west side of the Mononga.
hela river, opposite the town ofBrownsyille.
The house is somewhat ola historical SPOT,
being the first stone building erected on the
western side of the river. 1t was built by
Mr.. Blaine's grandfather, the elder Neal
Gillespie, in 1878, ON the western borders of
civilization. Mr.. Blaine's boylood days
Were passed at Lancaster, Ohio, where he
lived in the family of a relative, the Hon.
Thomas Ewing, then Secretary of the Treas.
ury, and attended a ~neighboring school. He
was the third son Of Ephraim L.. Blaine, a
justice of the peace, who became somewhat
noted by deciding to the Economists the tract
of land now occupied by the city of Pitts
burg, for which he received $25, 900. Being
elected ~Prothonotary of the County Court
in 1912, the elder Blaine sent James TO
Washington College III ls43, from where he
graduated in the fall of I847 at the age of II
years. During his college days he demon
strated his fondness for politics, and was
known as a strong Clay man, and was always
the court of lastresort in political discussions
among the students. On LEAKING college the
youthful graduate went to Kentucky and
taught school, his father being comparatively
poor and having insufficient means to sup
port the large family of which he was the
head. While following the occupation of q
country school teacher, Mr.. Blaine met his
present wife, who was also teacher of q coun-
try school in Kentucky. Shortly after their
marriage they went to her former home, at
Kennebec, Me-, where he entered the jour-
.nalistic profession, as assuming control of the
Kennebec journal, and afterward of the
Portland Adrertiser. He Immediately sprang
into a position ofinduence in State politics,
and at the age Of rs was recognized as one
the young leaders of the Republican par
ty. At the age of so years he was selected
Chairman Of the Executive Committee of
the Republican organization of the State, q
he has held ever since, and practic-
shaping and directing every campaign,
md leading the party to victory.
In 1858 he was elected to the Maine Legis-
allure, and served in that capacity four years,
wo Of which he was Speaker of the House
If Representatives.
In 1862 he was chosen o Representative in
congress, from which time he has been
prominently before the public. During the
Of his Congressional career as a men,
er Of the Postoflce Committee, was instru-
mental in bringing into use the present sys-

TIKI NEGRO IN Politics.


We have he'd reasonable hope that the
Negro would be eliminated from politics in
the present campaign and that no effoit
would be made to draw him in as an issue.
II we mistake not, both parties pledge to
him the equal protection of the laws. This
is all We cal reasonably ask, and this we, as
American citizens, demand.
Considering the extraordinary good feel
ing now existing between the two races, it is
unfortunate indeed for us that We have been
made the hobby Of the campaign, especially
when it is well known tina; we are to suffer
thereby. Demagogues who raise the cry OF
~'nigger' should be cried down at every ef-
fort by IN honest people.
