he grew older he shouldered his full share
Of the farm work. At best, the land upon
which the Garfeld's lived, yielded them but
poor return for the labor bestowed upon it,
and James felt the necessity of working out
to increase the limited resources of the
family. At one time he chopped one hun
dred cords of wood for twenty-five dollars
About this time he was strongly imbued
with desire to become sailor, and, with
his mothers prayers and blessings. he set
out on foot for Cleveland to carry his desire
into execution, but after single interview
with ships captain, he reasoned he had
better go to work on the canal to obtain
first knowledge of sailors duties. He
obtained position on the canal boat Even

to him little less than a miracle, and argu-
ing that since Providence thought his life
worth saving he would not throw it awav on
a canal boat, he resolved to go home and
get an education and become man. This
resolution made Garfield major.genera1,
senator and president.

ARTHUR, PRESIDENT, 1ssl-1se5.

Chester A. Arthur was born in Vermont,
1880, of Scottish parents. In 1871 he was
appointed Collector of the Port of New
York, and four years afterwards was reap
pointed with universal approval. He re-
signed after six years of service. In 1880
he was nominated as the Republican candi-
date for Vice. President under Garfield, and
became President upon the death of Gar
field, September 1881. He performed the
duties of the Office with credit and dignity
and with great honor to his party.
Mr.. Arthur was the fourth of our Nations
Executives who were called to the Chair of
State by the death of their predecessors,
rather than by the suffrages of the people.
Upon the point of Vice-Presidential success
sion the Constitution is explicit, but in case
of removal by death, resignation or inability
of both the President and Vice-President,
Congress alone can make provision for filling
the executive Office. In view of the fact
that four out of the eighteen Presidents
elected since. the adoption of the Federal Con-
stitution have died in office, and that it is
not an impossibility that the office of both
President and Vice-President could become
vacant during the recess of Congress, it is an
important subject for consideration and de-
termination by Congress, (settling the
question for all time by constitutional
amendment,) what officers of the Govern

rise through all the grades of society, and
become the crown, the glory, the pillar of

wearing one, that leaves one little time for
quiet reflection but 1 hope l have lost
none of my desire to be true man and
keep before me the character of the great
Nazarene."
Saturday July I'd, 1881, will ever be men,
orable as one of the saddest days in our his
| tory, for it was then that President Garfield
received his fatal wound at the hands of an
assassin.
1t was in the waiting room of the Ba1ti-
more and Potomac Railroad. Among the
few waiting people was slender, light COM
plexioned man, about 40 years of age, his
name was Charles Jules Guiteau. AS the
President, arm-in-arm with his Secretary of
State, James G. Blaine, passed beyond him,
he turned about, advanced a step in their
direction, drew a heavy revolver from his
pocket, pointed it steadily, and fired deliber-
ately at the President. The President
uttered no word, but turned with a gentle
surprised look to see from whence came the
murderous bullet Secretary Blaine sprang
to one side Guiteau re cooked his revolver,
and, with the deliberation of death, again
fired at the President, who fell to the floor
with blood squirting from the wound in his
-
his pistol.
Secretary Blaine sprang after the mis-
creant, but finding him already in the hands
of the law returned to the President.
The President passed two months of
terrible suffering, augmented by the fierce

CLEVELAND, PRESIDENT, 1886
1880.

The Clevelands, while distinctively Amer
ican, having first settled in this country
more than two centuries ago, are of English
origin. So far as known, the first of the
family that came to America settled in Con-
necticut.
The father of Grover Cleveland, Richard
Falley Cleveland, was born at Norwich,
1904. He was factory boy, together with
his cousin the late William E. Dodge, who
afterwards became the widely known New
York philanthropist. Richard FalIey Cleve-
land entered Yale College in 1920, gradual
ing with honor in 1924. From college he
went to Baltimore as tutor; from thence
to Princeton Theological Seminary and
after his theological course became Pres
byterian clergyman. In 1929 he married
Miss Anne Neale, the daughter of law
book publisher and merchant of Baltimore.
His third charge as clergyman was at the
village of Caldwell, near Newark, N. T.,
where the fifth of his nine children Grover,
was born, the 18th of March, 1887.

HOW OUR PRE- sIDENTs ARE
ELECTED.

The President of the United States is
elected once in four years by electors, who
are chosen by each State on the first Tues
day after the first Monday in November.
Each State is entitled to as many electors
as it has senators and representatives in
Congress. The electors meet at their re-
spective capitals on the first Wednesday in
January after their election, and send their
votes for President, sealed, to the President
of the United States Senate, who opens
them in Congress on the second Wednesday
in February following, and declares the
result. The Vice-President is elected at the
same time in the same way. The President
must be native of the United States, and
over thirty-6ve years of age. He receives
$4,000 year for his services, and is for
bidden during Office to receive any further
emolument. He is commander-in chief of
the army and navy, and appoints all public
officers. In order to become law, every
bill which passes Congress must have his
signature, unless, after he has returned it
with his objections. two thirds of each house
shall vote in its favor.

HARRISON, PRESIDENT, 1889.

Benjamin Harrison was born at North
Bend, Ohio, in the house of his grandfather,
William Henry Harrison, (who was the
ninth president of this country, on the Goth
day of August, 1888. The boyhood of
young Harrison was not unlike that of most
country boys. At an early age he became
a student at Farmers College, where he
remained two years, at the end of which time
he was transferred to Miami University at
Oxford, Ohio. Upon graduation he entered
as student the office of Slower and Gwyne,
a notable law firm of Cincinnati.
Before he had quite finished his legal
course, listening to voice in his heart, he
made pilgrimage to Oxford, and on the
Goth of October, 1853, was married, after
which, with his wife, he returned to his
fathers place below Cincinnati, where he
continued his studies, going up frequently
to the Office for examination. Space will
not permit us to follow the professional
career of Mr.. Harrison, which was of the

GARFIELD, PRESIDENT, 1881.

The earliest American ancestor of the
subject of this sketch was Edward Garfield,
who came to America from his birthplace
Chester, in Wales) in the same ship that
brought to these shores the famous Gov
ernor Winthrop.
The father of Garfield purchased eighty
acres of forest land, and had begun the work
of clearing it short time before the birth
of James, but in May, 1888, when young
Garfield was only eighteen months old, he
died from the effects of over-exertion in
fighting fire in the surrounding woodlands,
and severe cold he contracted when the
fire was subdued. The mother determined
upon keeping the family together and man
aging the farm with the assistance of her
eldest son Thomas. AS soon as James was
old enough to handle a hoe, or hold plow,
St. Paul daily globe., 1889-03-05

were assembled around the Exchange build
ing in New York City. The cry of the vast
crowd was vengeance!" Two men, one
dead, and the other dying, lay upon the
pavement of one of the side Streets who, a
moment before, had said that Lincoln ought
to have been shot long ago. The people
were in no mood for trifing. A telegram
had just been read from Washington ::
" Seward is dying" 1t was a critical
moment. Already a movement of thou
sands was making, having for its object the
destruction of the World building. Just
then man stepped forward on the balcony
OF the Exchange building, waving small
flag and beckoning to the crowd. Another
telegram from Washington. Taking advan-
tage of the momentary stiffness of the
crowd, and raising his right arm heaven
ward, in loud, clear and steady voice he
spoke:
" Fellow citizens Clouds and darkness
are round about Him His pavilion is
dark waters and thick clouds of the skies
Justice and judgment are the establishment
of His throne. Mercy and truth shall go
before His face Fellow citizens. God
reigns, and the government of Washington
still lives!"
Instantly the dark passions of that enor-
nous crowd were subdued, as rooted to the
ground it stood, gazing with awe into the
face of the inspired orator. 1t was
triumph of eloquence, unsurpassed in the
annals of American history. The crisis
had passed. The hero OF the crisis stood
there in the person of James A. Garfield.
His character is again shown in his own
words, which speak for themselves "I
would rather be beaten in Right than
succeed in Wrong" 81 am afraid to do
a mean thing" 9" l think the main point
is to look upon life with view of doing
as much good to others as possible"

poor or humble, that, if he have a clear

Young Cleveland was named in honor of
the worthy pastor, the predecessor of his
father in the church at Caldwell, Stephen
Grover but from childhood he has always
been called Grover, and has always written
his name simply Grover Cleveland. In
1851 his father removed his family to Clin-
ton, Oneida Co., New York. Here young
Grover had the advantage of availing him
self of proper preparation for college.
While the family were at Clinton, young
Grover was employed for two years as clerk
in the village store at Fayetteville, where he
gained reputation for diligence, faithful
ness, and honesty, which traits of character
have clung to him through life. 1t is pro-
badly due in part to this mingling with plain,
honest, unaffected manhood, such as he came
in contact with in this village store in his
youth, and to his mingling with the people
from early childhood, that has made him, as
Mayor of Buffalo, Governor of New York,
and President of the United States, easily
accessible to every citizen who had either
real or imaginary business with him.
Mr.. Cleveland was elected Mayor of
Buffalo, New York, in 1881, and entered
upon his official duties January 1st, 1882.
While Mayor of Buffalo he saved the city
in eleven months nearly 81 900 900, thereby
clearly illustrating the necessity OF having
efficient and incorruptible men in public
Office.
In 1882, Mr. Cleveland was nominated by
the Democratic State Committe as candidate
for Governor of the State of New York, on
the issue of reform, and he was elected by
the largest majority ever received by any
body, in any State of the Union, viz Io2,
S54. This vote was certainly fattering in
its indication of the great confidence the
people placed in Mr.. Cleveland.
On Friday. July nth, 1884. on thesecond
ballot Mr.. Cleveland was nominated as Presi-
dent of the United States, receiving 6o3

shortly afterwards raised to the rank of
rigadier-General, appointed Major Hayes,
September 10Th, 1861, Judge-Advocate of
the department of the Ohio. On October
cath, 1861, Major Hayes was promoted to
the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
The first serious battle in which Colonel
Hayes was engaged was that of South
Mountain. He was severely wounded in
the left arm, but pluckily remained on the
field, until, completely exhausted from the
loss of blood, he was carried off. On
October 24th, 1862, he was raised to the
rank of Colonel
Other battles in which Colonel Hayes was
engaged were the battles of Winchester,
Derryville, Opequan, Fishers Hill and
Cedar Creek. At the last battle Colonel
Hayes displayed great gallantry, and it was
on this battlefield that General Sheri-
dan, grasping the hand of Hayes, said to
him, Colonel, from this day forward you
will be a Brigadier-General." Ten days
afterward he was so commissioned, and on
rank of Brevet Major-General, "for gallant
and distinguished services during the cam
paign of 1864, in West Virginia, and par
-ticularly at the battles of Fishers Hill and
Cedar Creek, Va"
While General Hayes was in the field, on
August e, 1864, he was nominated by the
Republican Convention of his district for
Congress-the result of his candidacy was
his election by handsome majority.
He took his seat as Member of the
House of Representatives of the Thirty
ninth Congress, December 18th, 1865. He
subsequently three times served as Governor
of Ohio. In 1876 he was elected President of
the United States. Among his first measures
were the withdrawal of national troops from
the Southern States in the hope of establish
ing peace and friendship between them and
the North, and an attempt at civil-service
reform. In the summer of 1877 occurred
the Railway -iots in Pennsylvania, which
were suppressed by the government after
scenes of great violence. The Chinese ques-
ton also excited great interest, and an effort
was made in 1879 to check all further immi-
grafton from China, but the bill was vetoed
by the President. The resumption of specie
payment, in 1879, was an important event of
Hayes administration, which was, on the
whole, remarkable as period of peace and
prosperity. The enormous exports of grain
to European markets constantly increased,
and immigration to our ports was greater
than ever before.
President Hayes gave the country quiet
and conservative administration, notwith-
standing that his political opponents, and
no inconsiderable number of his own party
thought then, and still think, he was not
entitled to the Office, and, at the expira-
tion of his official term he retired to his
home at Fremont, Ohio, where he still
resides.

General Grant died at Mount McGregor,
near Saratoga, on the 23d of July, 1855, and
was buried with great pomp in New York
on August 7, 1855. His remains now lie in

York, upon the banks of the Hudson, where
it is proposed to build national monument
to his honor and glory.

President Cleveland, during his admins
tration, strictly adhered to the policy fore
shadowed in his letter of acceptance, his
letter on Civil Service Reform, and his
inaugural address. That his administration
was carried on in the interests of the people
the vast majority are agreed. Here and
there a disgruntled politician comes to the
front in its condemnation, but the people, to
whom alone civil administration is respon-
sible, are its hearty endorsers.

min Harrison, Colonel and Brevet Brigadier-
General, 10Th Regiment of Indiana Infantry
Volunteers; that he was enrolled on the 9TH
day OF August, 1862, to serve three years,
or during the war, and discharged on the Sth
day of June, 1865, at Washington, D. c.
We thus pass from the military portion of
General Harrison's career.
General Harrison began his political life
as stump speaker under circumstances
that were not very exciting, and in behalf
of his law partner, Mr.. William Wallace,
who was a candidate for clerk of Marion
County, Ind.
The election of 1876 was inaugurated
in Indiana under peculiar circumstances.
Many influential republicans in the state
insisted personally and by letter that Cen
eral Harrison should allow his name to 90
on the ticket for governor {; but to all such
overtures he gave one answer, positively
declining the honor. He, however, was
run as governor, but the result of the elec-
ton was unfavorable to him, although he
ran handsomely ahead of his ticket. TIVE
years later he was called upon to preside
over the state convention, and in 1880 we
find him chairman of the delegation from
Indiana to the national convention. He
again represented his state in 1854.
General Harrison was nominated for
President upon the Republican ticket, June
rs, 1888 and after an exciting contest, was
elected the twenty third President of the
United States.

THE RESULT.

The Republicans of New Jersey were
not sanguine Of success In the contest
that closed yesterday, but were hopeful.
They knew that they had the shrewdcst
and most unprincipled of politicians to
contend against and that with a resistra-
ton in Jersey City-the home of Albeit
--of 1000 more votes than last Fall, and
with the election boards in the control of
the corrupt Jersey City ring-there were
mighty odds to fight. But they hoped
that there were enough Democrats who
profess love for fair voting and honest
counting, who want the saloon crushed
and the liquor traffic restrained, to vote
for principle and condemn a candidate
who represented the worst elements of
the party. The result has disappointed
these expectations. The Democrats of
New Jersey declared by their votes yes
terday that they wanted neither corrupt
ballot nor the saloon restrained.
1t is to be regretted that they did not
obtain majority in the Senate so tina
they could have full power to carry out
the demands of their masters.

The WIN Would Not STAND.

lived near Plainfeld, died several months
ago, leaving by will 5000, 900 in personal
and real estate TO the Scotch Plains Baptist
Church. The heirs-at.law fought the pro-
bate of the will, but Chancellor McGill is
sued decree sustaining it. The con-
testants then brought an ejectment suit
against the Church for the recovery of the
real estate, estimated to be worth $780,
900. The trial closed last Wednesday,
and the jury found verdict for the con
testants, holding that Lee was not compe-
tent 10 make will, being i'll with delrium

holds $50, 900 in cash, undisiurbed by the
verdict.

THE ELECTIONS.

The result of the elections yesterday
may be summed up as follows:
In New Jersey Albeit is elected by
from 5000 to 1000 majority. The Lcgs-
lature stands-House 10 Democratic ma
jority; Senate l Republican majority
Pennsylvania has given over 10000
Republican majority for Boyer, for Urea
surer.
Ohio is in doubt. Foraker, Rep, how
ever, claims a small majority over Camp
bell, Dem.
Virginia defeats Malone by about 20,
900 majority-principally fraudulent.
The New York State Democratic ticket
is elected by about 20, majority. The
Legislature is close.
Iowa is close. The Democratic candi-
date for Governor claims the State.
