THE GARFIELD HOSPITAL.
A Successful Entertainments ut Marinrs
in Aid of That Charity.

The fair given by the Ladies' Aid society
for the benefit of tho Garfield Memorial
hospital closed in a blaze of splendor last
night at Marini's hall, The early part of the
evening was devoted to promenading and
tho sale of pretty souvenirs of the occa-
sion. Gay costumes, worn by the lady attend
ants, and the conventional black dress suits
Of tho gentlemen, mingled in a picturesque
chaos with the bright colored booths and
decorations. The whole effect was enchanting.
1t was heightened by the enlivening strains
of full orchestra oil the balcony. At 10
o'clock the floor was cleared and the ladies
and their escorts indulged in dancing, which
continued until the close.
Mrs. Gen. Ricketts,, whose labors have been
incessant, was heartily congratulated upon
the result. Miss Dora Miller daughter of
Senator Miller, was one OF the most indefati-
gable lady workers. She sold over 800
worth of hand-painted articles in one night.
Miss Miller's efforts were warmly commended
Monday night S1,01309 was realized
from the sales. The amount taken in last
night was slightly over $1,000. While the
dancing was in progress last night Miss Free
linghuysen gave garden tea party on the
stage. The ladies decided to give garden
party on the hospital grounds during the first
week of May. Nearly eight acres will
be occupied by the party. Among the
distinguished persons present at the close
of the fair were Senator and Mrs Ingalls,,
Senator and Mrs. Warner Senator and Mrs.
Dolph, Senator Angus Cameron, Hon. Mr..
Gibson, Mrs. Logan, Attorney General Brew
ter and Mrs. Brewster, Gen. and Mrs. Hazen,
Miss Blaine, Secretary and Mrs. Chandler,

FIGURING IT OUT.
An Analysts OF the Vote on the Tariff Bill

An Analysts OF the Vote on the Tariff Bill
and the Programme OF the Contest.
An analysis of the list of yeas and nays on
the question of considering the tariff bill
shows that the affirmative voto was cast by
135 democrats and republicans and the
negative by 90 republicans and 80 democrats.
Up to the hour of adjournment more than
eighty-hve representatives had placed their
names the list of the chairman of the
committee of tho whole for recognition to
mako speeches on the tariff bill A motion
to close tho general debate will be In order in
the house pending the motion to 90 into
committee of tho whole, which ia a pre-
requisite to continuing tho consideration
of tho bill each legislative day,
but, although tho narrowness of the
majority by which it was taken up
to-day suggests the possibility of success in
such an attempt to force the final issue, the
leading opponents of the measure say they
will offer no obstruction TO full general dis
cussion. The duration of the debate of this
nature is varlously estimated ut from ten TO
thirty days Tho progress of the debate will
probably bo interrupted, however, from time
to time to admit Of speedy action on one or
two of the uncontested appropriation bills.
As soon as general debate is closed and the
bill is declared open for amendments and for
discussion in committee of the whole under
the flve.minute rule land at any time what
evor thonceforth while it remains in COM
mittee of the whole, motion to strike out
its enacting clause will be in order from any
member, and must be Immediately decided,
without debate.
This motion, tho leaders of tho opposition
say, will be made by somo republican repre-
sentative Immediately upon tho closing of
the general debate, and thoy profess entire
confidence that it will be successful. They
assert that o number of democratic ropre-
sentatives (rockoned as high as twelve) who
voted to-day to allow the bill to be discussed
will then vote squarely against it,
On the other hand the active friends Of the
bill, while admitting that tho vote upon tho
passage of the bill is likely to be very close,
assert that 1t will command ut least as much
strength as it did to-day, and that they be-
lieve it will gain votes by the discussion,

A Punctured Boom.

An inflated balloon sailing in the upper ether

sive object but q balloon with the gas out is
neither beautiful nor awo.inspiring. Apply
ing this reflection to booms we may remark
that an article from tho New York Herald,
printed elsewhere on this page, is likely to
have the same effect on Mr.. Blaine's boom in
New York that is produced by misplaced
hole in a balloon. Any person who has
read the dispatches and statements in the
Blaine organs during the last week or two
all the delegates to Chicago had been chosen
in New York, and that nearly all of them
were for Mr. Blaine. These dispatches have
been so adroitly manipulated and ingeniously
multiplied az to produce the effect upon a
casual reader that an ordinary theater.

penter, two or three scene-shifters, and few
plumed knights from tho neighboring saloon,
all uniformed like cOnquering heroes can
under skillful management, be made to
create the impression of large army. This
is done by marching and countermarching
them across the stage in front Of and behind
the scenes in such a way as to convert every
man into q multitude Somewhat similar

ing a popular impression that several
hundred delegates have been chosen
in that state, and that nearly all are
for Blaine. The Herald calls attention to
the fact that up to this time only twenty
three delegates have been chosen in New
York, of which sixteen arc for President
Arthur and seven are for Mr.. Blaine. This
is reducing the army of Blaine delegates to
its zeal and true proportions, marching them
National Republican., 1884-04-16

So far, therefore, Mr.. Arthur has sixteen dele
gates actually chosen in this state, and Mr.. Blaiue
has seven, These are the actual returns. 1t
would be strange IL they were otherwise The
strife in this state is openly and squaely between
Arthur and Blaine. That is not Mr. Arthur's fault
for 1t is to his credit that he is not blooming him
self he Is not using patronage or influence in his
own behalf If he has become the prominent figure
in this preliminary canvass, that is because the
opponents Of Mr.. Blaine, the republicans who do
not want to SEQ their party defeated by the nomi
nation Of stained and unfit man, have chosen to
pit against him the President; whose steadfast
honorable, and patriotic course has won for him
the deserved confidence OF all good citizens.
1t ltisundoubtedly fact that there are elements in
the republican party In this state opposed to both
Mr., Arthur and Mr.. Blaine. These prefer Senator
Edmunds, and they have right to that prefer
ence, which is creditable to them. They will do
well, however, to take care that they not made
the victims Of Blaine intrigues. There is probably
not an Edmunds man in the state who would not
prefer Mr., Arthur ten times over to Mr.. Blaine II
he had TO chooSe between the two These should
bear In mind that sucn choice may become in.

from any ENHANCEMENT with the Blaine faction.

be elected. That is the reason why he is the

once, as it were, and subiecting them
to actual count. This is a severe
ordeal for an army of plumed knights to uu-
dergo, but it is sometimes best to know
things as they are and not as they seem. The
simple truth is that the army of Blaine dele

formed difficult and responsible duties con-

The attorney general, answering the in

that the question whether there now exists a
vacancy in the office of United States mar
shal for the southern and middle districts OF
Alabama, is question of law which was pre-
sented TO and has been passed upon in the
negative by the United States judge for the

acquittal of the defendant on Juno 0, 1883

The Blaine BOOM SO called, which RACES in the
newspapers does not rage as wildly anywhere
else, so far as we can see. A few days ago II
seemed that there were none but Blaine men in
Pennsylvania and that the plumed knight had
that state in his pocket. But now it appears that
he will only get about half the Pennsylvania del
egation, and he is not quite sure of SO many.
In this state the Blaine account stands still more
poorly. There is a great bluster among his par
tisans, and one furious contempt porary, the Times,
announces Mr.. Arthur's defeat in daily columns,
which are as fearful reading as though the object
were to drive all the opponents of Mr. Blaine into
the Hudson river But when actual results are
set down--when the delegates actually elected are
counted and poled--it does not appear that the
celebrated "Blaine march" is so triumphant !;
and, OH the other hand the Arthur men are doing
very well. Here is the list up to yesterday

Mr.. TILDEN's letter to the Iroquois club

reputation as a calm, level-headed statesman.
He descants upon the political condition of
the country in style of stited exaggera-

roads dcclaimer, but is totally incompatible
with the character of "sage." His arraiRn-
ment of the republican administration of the
