AT TIE Republican ratification meeting
tonight. will some speaker be kind enough
to recall the fact that the Chicago platform
endorses President ARTHUR'S adminiStR-
ton, and then to recall the additional fact
that one Of the first acts Of ARTHUR's ad-
miniStration was to get JAsEs G.. BLAINE
out Of the Cabinet, for in the six months Of
his premiership he had already bred scan
dali
Can any one call BLAINE patriot when
his whole political life shows that he loves
his country only in proportion to the tribute
it can he made TO pay to his greed and his
ambition. II was not the part Of an I'M
selfish patriot When high government otH-
cial to sell his rulings to benefit a corpora
ton and in opposition to his couutry's vel
fare. 1t was the proper thing for Mr.. AR
THUR to do to fire him ont of the Cabinet,
and it was oil right for the Convention to
endorse Mr.. ARTHUR in that course, bu, an
exceedingly inconsistent thing to turn
around and nominate him.

CkieasO CwrssPoadcns q 81. PAIL GiOS>.
Judge West is resident of Bellefontaine,
Ohio, and totally blind The Arthur men
declared that he had been selected because
no man who had ever seen the tattoo marks
on his subject could warm upin advocating
his cause. Judge West was the Republican
candidate for governor of Ohio in 1878,
and was defeated by Bishop, OF Cincinnati,
the Democratic candidate. He was then
nearly blind, and has since become totally
so. 1t was strange that blind man should
have been sent to the convention at all
As he was led TO the platform the scene
was peculiar. He is tall and physically
feeble old man. and his cOuntenance
having almost the Tallor of death.
A high chair was provided for him, as it
was understood he did not have the phys-
ical ability to stand while delivering his adj
dr,ss. The FIR FIVE minutes of his speech
he stood rpon the edge of the platform with
two men watching to see that ne did not so
warm up as to step of, and twice they were
obliged to admOuiSh him by clutch at his
coat tail that tumble was imminent. He
then sank back into his chair and delivered
the rest of his speech in sitting posture
occasionally rising to his feet to give en-
phaSis 20 some special sentence. He had
evidently studied to make one especially
dramatic sentence in his speech. In speak
ing of the battle for the freedom of the
slaves, he rose to his feet and with vigorous
gesticulation which called for his utmost
physical effort, exclaimed:
Wherever blows fell thickest AID fastest,
there in the fore front of the battle was seen
to move the white plume of James \ Gar
field, our Henry OF Navarro
As he sunk back into his chair exhausted
by his effort, his head reclining on the back
OF the chair he discovered his mistake and
detained the sentence over again, substl-
tuting James c. Blaine for James A. Gar
field. but the effect was lost. Very few, be
yond the reporters table, heard the cOrrec
ton. Steve Elkins, Blaine'S chief fugle-
man, had set it up for a demonstration of
applause at this passage, and some of the
claquerS took it up as twas, but the greater
number didn't think Gar6elds name be-
lOnged in that passage, and were waiting to
be given the proper signal from Elkins, who
was on the platform, to yell while those
who did applause drowned the correction,
and the deliberately conceived plot for "un-
premeditatcd applause" still fell stillborn
1t was, fortunately, near the close pit his
speech, or the mistake would have been still
more embarrassing.

POLITICAL DASHES.
Political LunaCy.
brooklyn Union.

There is at this moment very strong
probability that with Blaine rs the nominee
neither Massachusetts, Indiana nor Connec-
ticut can be carried BY the Republicans and
there is not the slightest reason to expect
that New jersey can be taken out of the
Democratic column, where it has so long
stood. The talk about capturing the six
votes of West Virginia is puerile aud the
hope of recovering the Republican majority
in any Of the old slave States is visionary.
A ticket whose election depends on every
one of halEa-dozen desperate chances turn
ing in its favor, cannot be said 10 have bril-
liant prospects of success. Tested merely
by the standard of practical politics, the
work at Chicago must be regarded as de
plOrable iOoliShness. 1t waS bad enough to
deliberately throw away the chance OF
carving New York State; but to maxi.
nominations which were certain to detach
Massachusetts, repel Connecticut, and give
the Democracy stronger hold than ever
over Indiana, is nothing short of political
Mnacv.

GRANT As A PUBLIC BEGGAR.

Petitions are flooding into Washington
from Grand Army Posts all over the coun-
try protesting against the passage Of the
EDNrND's bill, which provides for retiring
GRANT on pay. The petitioners are all old
soldiers of the Union army, and they assert
there is no reason for discriminating in
GRANTS favor against other soldiers, and
they likewise denounce the idea Of making
public pauper Of the old commander Of
the Army.
One feature that detracts from GRANTS
greatness more than all things else, is the
disposition to keep himself before the pub
lie in the attitude of beggar If he had
the true spirit of a great man he would
scorn to be q mendicant and would keep
himself independent of public charity a.
long as he had strength to earn a EvcG-
hood.
GRANT fame sufferers immcaSurably in
this respect when brought in comparison
with that of his great military antagonist
ROBERT Z. LIE. At the close of the war
Gen. LEE received number Of offers to en-
gage in commercial enterprises. Insurance
companies, railroads aud many large cor
poratiOnS were anxious to pay him any sal
ary' that he might demand solely for the
use OF his name, without any labor on his
part, or the mourning Of any responsibility
whatever. A committee of English gentle
men with the Duke of Sutherland and Mr.
BEREsFORD HOPE at the head offered him
in fee a splendid estate in one of the mid
land counties of England coupled with a
guarantee of an income of $4,000 year as
long as he lived He gratefully declined
all these offers and accepted the Presidency
of Washington College al Lexington at a
salary of $4,000, wear Here he earned
his living as the hardest worker in hard
working faculty in training the youth of the
country up to tho very hour of rhe paralytic
stroke which immediately proceeded his
death.
Gen. LEE left three sons They, too. re-
cciyed many offers of similar kind and
likewise declined them. Two Of them be.
came industrious farmers, while the third
succeeded his father in the Presidency Of
the college and has filed the position with
credit the last thirteen years. The true
American spirit shines in Gen. LEES ex-
ample 1t was the spirit which prompted
WASHINGTON and the revolutionary heroes
to retire from the public service enriched
only with the recollection Of their great
achievements. and scOrning to make mer-
cbandise Of their fame 1t is no wonder
tkat the veterans Of the Grand Army Of
,Le Republic, jealous Of their own reputa-
lions, should protest against what they con
ceive would be a disgrace to themselves
sad to the cause in which they earned their
larIels.

transpire in the country to distract the pub

Disastrous Floods.

from Cumberland News, Wednesday,
The series of rains which culmina-
ted Monday night in a very heavy
fall, lasting until yesterday morn
ing, caused high water everywhere
and turned the usually Insignificant
Georges creek into a raging, devas-
tating torrent, which swept down the
valley from Midland to Westernport,
distance of ~ miles, destroying
thousands of dollars worth of prop
erty and causing four deaths. The
Cumberland and Pennsylvania rail-
road was the heaviest loser. and in
addition to the actual damage will
suffer considerable delay.
Shortly after 6 p. NJ. Monday the in
habitants Of Homecoming were greatly
alarmed by sudden rush of water
down Castle run, one of the tribu-
taries of Georges creek, caused as
some thought by a water-spout, but
probably only very heavy rainfall.
Jackson run also made its contribu-
ton, and with the water previously
in the creek there was soon a torrent.
The banks of the stream were soon
lined with people and there was much
excitement. By 8 O'Clock the Cum
berland and Pennsylvania railroad
track was under three feet of water
and from this fair idea of the gen.
eral situation can be obtained. Soon
wooden buildings began to shake on
their foundations and to succumb to
the waters terrific force. About IL
P. NJ, the workshop attached to Au-
gust Eichorn's furniture works was
torn from its foundations and floated
away with its contents, and striking
one of the bridges was smashed to
pieces. Mr.. Eichorn's new outfit of
tools went with it. The next build
ing to go was that owned by VIM.
