SWantOn.

Some Of the temperance people Of
Swanton and vicinity met at Vests
Chapel U. B. Church, on last Satur-
day evening, and organized Band
of Hope. The following officers were
elected: President, A. F. George !;
Vice President, l.. H. Friend; Re-
corling Secretary, Charles M, Mil
Ter; Financial Secretary, Miss Eta
Friend. Nineteen members were en-
rolled, which is considered a good
start. There will be another meeting
on the 18th inst, Saturday next. at
7:45 p. NJ. All are cordially invited,
and especially the friends Of Local
Option are earnestly invited to come
out and let us show our coIors. There
is work for us ALL Let US do it. The
enemy is alert. Do not let us fold
our arms, but let us work earnestly,
steadily and zealously until victory
shall be ours. Come out then and
assist in the good work to carry the
county for the cause of Local Option.

The Senior Glass from the W., Va
University, at MorgantOwn, passed
through here last week, on geolo-
gical research, for the benefit of the
class and the institution. They were
piIoted by Prof. White, one of the
Faculty of the same school. They
were we'll pleased with this place,
but especially with the rich speci-
mems of fossil and other physical feat

Mr.. H. H. VanmeteY has returned
from his winter quarters to look after
the interests Of his hotel at this place..
Mr.. Cartwright has large stock of
goods in his handsome store room,
and is starting off we'll in his business.
He is certainly working for the in
terests of his patrons.
The new depot is now complete
and an agent will soon be placed in
it, who will also attend to the tele-
graph office.
The Directors are to meet here to-
morrow Thursday.

10 the most satisfactory extent. An
especial advantage possessed by the
B. & o. over all other lines entering
Chicago is that its depot may be said
to be almost a part of the structure
in which the convention will be held.
1t Immediately adjoins the conyen-
ton building, and the main entrance
is but a very short walk from the
platform where the trains stop. The
B. & o Co.'s new depot in Chicago is,
beyond all question, the handiest in
the city. being within a few squares
of the hotels and near the business
centres. 1t is an exceedingly neat
and commodious building, with at
tractive waiting rooms and courteous
attendants. The low rates, half fare,
or one fare for the round trip,-will
be in force for both conventions. the
National Republican in June and the
National Democratic in July. 1t
would be a good idea for those con-
templating going to have a talk with
the B. & o. agents and learn all re-
quisite particulars, in the shape Of
time of departure of trains, etc., etc.

Financial Disaster in New York.

On Tuesday, 9Th inst, the Marine
National Bank, of New York, was
forced TO suspend, and place its affairs
in the hands of the Bank Examiner.
This suspension found a similar state
of affairs with the firm of Grant and
Ward, of which the President of the
Bank James d. Fish, was special
partner. The firm consisted of Gen.
y. S. Grant, U. S. Grant, Jr., Ferdi-
nand Ward, James D. Fish and w.
c. Smith. 1t has been in existence
since November, 1880, having been
originally started on capital furnish
ed by Senator Chaffee, of Colorado,
the father-in-law of U. S. Grant, Jr.
The latest news represent Fred.
Grant as also involved, and the liza
bilities amount to millions. 1t was
thought at one time that the eX-
President would be reduced to penury
by the failure, but the fund of $780,
900, which was presented some few
years since, was vested in trustees, so
that he still retains an income of
$4,000 year.

OFF FOR THE CONVENTIONS.
Every Preparation Being Made to In
sure A Comfortable and Quick Trip
With A No, Accommodation.

AS to be- expected, the B. & o. is
right on time with bottom figures on
the rates to the Chicago convention.
One fare for the round trip, with
tickets good going from May 10Th to
June I'd and good returning up to
and including June 18th is the way
to talk it, and that is the tune the old
reliable sets for others to follow or
not as they please. 1t matters
little to the public or the road, as
hereabouts all go by the B. & o.
Every means will be provided to in
sure ample accommodations for all
who come, and as for time the roads
reputation in this respect leaves no
room for question. AS a matter of
course, the B. & o. will take this bus
mess from this section, as no other
line can compare with it in direct and
rapid access to the seat Of convention
proceedings. Its trans run direct to
Chicago without change, and when
the demand reaches the limit of the
regular trains sufficient sections will
be added to accommodate the travel

SATURDAY. MAY II, 1884.

Editor Charles A Dana, of the New
York Sun, is very respondent as to
Democratic success in the coming
presidential campaign. 1.-THE prob
ability is very poor, likewise the pos
sibiIity." He goes on to say that the
Democratic party in order to succeed
must be united, and that it is now
disunited and quarreling over the
tariff issue. He then proceeds to dis
cuss the various Democratic POSSIBLE
tiles in the way of candidates, and
reaches in each individual case the
conclusion that there is no hope for
him.

THE TARIFF BILL DEFEAT.
What the Newspapers Say Regard
ing the Matter.
From the New York Herald.l

From the New York Herald.l
1t is useless to point out that the
Revenue Reform Democrats in Con-
gress outnumber the Protectionist
Democrats by four to one. 1t still re-
mains true that an extremely mod
crate attempt to reduce the tariff was
defeated by Democratic votes, More
than that. the Republicans have
shrewdly allowed the Democrats to
fight it out among themselves, and
thus will escape all responsibility for
the failure involved.
From the New York Timesl
The controversy which the great
body of the representative of the
Democracy in Congress have waged
with the desperate and obstructive
minority must, in the natural course
now be transferred to the national
convention. On that field the rela-
tive strength of the contestants will
again be tested, and the struggle will
be very different one. The minor
ity will have no Republican allies,
and the majority. with anything like
the strength which they have in the
House, will be able to force their OPP
ponents to choose between the SUBJ
mission or complete defeat of the
party at the polls. With that choice
facing them, their responsibility will
be very great.
From the New York Sum-.
1.-THE advocates of horizontal reduc-
ton can now reflect that there are
matters OF more moment that demand
attention. and that there will be am
pie time to reform the tariff year
hence, when we shall know more
than we do now about its practical
bearing upon the great interests of the
country, and when the opportunity
for its adjustment will be as favor
able as they could wish. n
The candidate is the indispensable
factor in the problem. He must be
adapted to the peculiar circumstances
of the case. He must fill the bill.
On the other hand, bad platform
will be only hindrance to success.
1t is better for party to have none,
than to go into a contest with one
that will engender discord and lead
to defeat. On the two occasions when
the old Wing party carried the pres
idential election, their national con-
ventions adopted no platform at ALL"
From the New York Tribune.l
The result in the house does not
dispose of the tariff issue in the next
canvass. The declaration was made
without reserve by the Democratic
leaders that the Morrison bill was
only the first step in the war, and
that other far-reaching and more de-
structive campaigns are to follow.

Washington Letter to Springfield RepAs 1
When Robert Rincoln was given a
place in Garfield's cabinet he was
commonly regarded as a man Of very
moderate quality, with no title to re-
cognition except his parentage, but
respect for him has steadily grown
since he came to Washington, and
there is the highest testimony to sup
port the statement that the war de-
partment has not been so ably and
efficiently administered in many
years as it has been by him. The
secretary is not snowy or brilliant
person, but he is eminently sensible.
prudent and intelligent, and he at
tends strictly to business when there
is business in hand. Personally he
is interesting and agreeable. and like
his father, is very fond of good sto-
ries, and he tells them we'll. In ap-
pearance he is tall, we'll framed. with
broad shoulders and big head. His
features are strong rather than fire,
but there is intellect to be seen in the
face, and his bearing is that ofa mod
est and true gentleman. He is a
young man for the presidency, but he
could be trusted to SURROUND himself
with good advisers, and the country
would incur no risks in placing him
in the white house. If the RepubIi-
can ticket is not to be Edmunds and
Lincoln, perhaps it may be Lincoln
and HaWley.
