Sheridan Now at Rest.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-the last
rites for the dead were to-day per-
formed according to the ordinances
of the Roman Catholic Church for
Phillip Henry Sheridan, General of
the army of the United States, and
his body was laid to rest in beautiful
Arlington, the city of the soldier
dead. The event was marked by a
general suspension of public business.
The ceremonies throughout were in
keeping with the character of the
man. The strict adherence to an al
most unmilitary simplicity in all the
arrangements. the heavy-wheeled
artillery caisson for his hearse, the
procession Of a single thousand erect
and sturdy soldiers who had seen
service, best fitted the closing scenes
in the life of so great soldier.

The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted at the Mont
gomery county Republican Conven-
ton. Aug. 18th. 1888:
WHEREAS, Observations of the
results in other Congressional dis
tricts and our own experience in the

which having secured an earnest and
able representative have continuous
ly returned him to Congress, exer-
else controlling influence on Legis-
lation and,
WHEREAS, Our present represen-
tative by his course in Congress has
won for himself national reputation
as an able and fearless supporter of
true Republicanism ; therefore,
ReSoLUed, That we cordially and
enthusiastically endorse Hon. l.. E,
McCOmas for denomination as our
representative in the Fifty-first Con-

The procession in New York last
night lacked its chief object and end,
but the presence of the thousands
who composed it and the tens of
thousands who gathered to cheer
shows the hold which great leader
has on a party whose principles and
policy he represents and voices even
when he no longer holds Office or
place and exercises his influence by
virtue of his grasp of public questions
and his power to present them. For
such a man. place and position are a
mere accident; he, himself, his acts
and his utterances give him his real
commission and furnish his true in
fluence.
Such influence Mr.. Blaine exer-
cises, present or absent. He is not
the first and will not be the last in
the history of American parties who
has enjoyed this unrivaled and I'M
trammeled supremacy over a great
political organization but he is the
first, and, human nature being what
1t is, may easily be the last so to use

The Big Log Raft.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-The big
log raft which started from Joggins.
N. s., on the 1st inst, has been safe
ly landed at New York, having been
pulled through He'll Gate on Satur-
day by six tugs, The Joggins, as
the raft is called. is cigar shaped and
592 feet in length, or about forty
feet longer than the City of New
York. It's twice as large as the first
great raft and 100 feet longer than
the Inflated Leary raft of last year,
which went to pieces at sea. The
Joggin's width of beam is fifty.three
FEET. and she draws twenty-three
feet of water. There are in the jog
gins q 500 trees, of an average length
OF thirty-eight feet. This would give
a total of about 5000, 900 feet of lum-
Der. The cost of transportation at
the regular rate of 81. % stick would
amount to about $4,000. The raft
IS equal to about forty.fiYe schooner
loads of lumber.

Cleveland and the Tories,

PITTSBURGH. Pa, August 49,
Borrower Cleveland is the British
candidate for the Presidency of the
United States and nothing can wipe
that fact out" The speaker was
Murat Halstead, the editor of the
Cincinnati Commercial. Gazette, who
had stopped off in Pittsburgh this
morning just long enough to get
breakfast, on his way home from the
Blaine reception in New York.
"He goes hand in hand with the
Tories, and is seeking to turn the
United States over to England," con-
tinued Mr.. Halstead. but his
power to do harm will soon be at an
end. Benjamin Harrison will take
up the reins of Government next
March and give the country a safe
administration without the fears of
an introduction of British free trade.
In the East everything points to Re-
publican success in November, and
the Empire State will vote for Har-
rison and Morton sure ; they under
stand the issue of the hour and will
flock to a man underl the banner of
Protection. Already the Democratic
managers recognize this fact, and are
squirmlng under it. They are using
every effort to counteract the effect of
Cleyeland's cowboy message, but all
to no avail. They are trying to get
Grover to hedge in his letter of ac-
ceptance, but it is too late. Mills has
already read the first chapter of the
Presidents letter, and Grover will
have to finish it in the same strain in
which it was commenced. His tariff
reform followers are known and I'M
derstood. In fact he is already on
record on all the subjects of the hour
Speaking about the outlook in New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
Mr.. Halstead said he thought the
Republicans would carry the three
States with something to spare and
that they have a fighting chance OF
capturing West Virginia also. AS

DEEFRARK, August 18th, 1888,

The lew York Tribune says of Mr..
Blaine' return to this country:
Mr.. }laine's self-effacement was
the met remarkable feature of his
reception. No American eyer re-
ceivedl heartier or more impressive
welcome on returning to his country,
and noe ever succeeded in putting
himser so quietly and contentedly
In the background. The tidings that
40. 900 Republicans had been march
ing tn previous night in honor of
his coming must have fired the blood
even q this veteran campaigner and
leaderof men; but while there was
no LACE of appreciation on his part of
the Unprecedented honors accorded
to hin, his first thoughts were of the
gallant American soldier who has
passed away while he has been at
sea. The death of Sheridan was the
shadow darkening the threshold of
the American home to which he had
returned; and he spoke of it with
profound emotion and sympathy,
putting out of mind the splendid
tribute of respect and affection which
he was himself receiving. One CRATE
,fuJ act of self placement opened the
way Tor another. In the next breath
he was addressing. not the throng of
political friends and ardent admirers
who gathered about him to welcome
him home, but the toiling millions
throughout the land, whose welfare,
happiness and progress are imperiled
by free trade legislation. 1t was to
them that his words of greeting and
warning were spoken, and repeated
with even greater emphasis in the
more formal address of the evening.
Mr.. Blaine, like General Harrison,
regards the wage question as the core
of the tariff controversy. Nine-tenths
of our population are dependent on
some form of labor as a means of
Lying. These wage-earners thrive
and prosper as they have opportu-
nifty for employment. Protection
has aided them by multiplying and
diversifying industries and by rem
dering their labor renumerative.
Free trade will stimulate the foreign
supply and restrict the home demand
for labor. 1t will degrees wages and
deprive thousands of American work.
ing people of their employment. This
Is the living issue of politics to-day,
and it concerns the great mass of
workers whose only capital is their
labor. Mr.. Blaine has landed in
New York with earnest words of en-
treaty and warning on his lips for
the humblest and poorest of his fell
low.citizens. Their future is at stake
in the struggle between Republican
ism and Democracy. The enemies
Of protection are fighting the battle
OF European cheap labor and misery.
Will American workingmen lend
their support to a cause that is fatal
to their interests? The appeal, as
MIR. Blaine says, lies with them.
