PRESIDENTIAL YEAR FORAGERs.

GarHc1d's NcighbOrs Sailed His Or
chnrd to Try TO Save His Apples.
The experience Of the good people of Can
ton, o., and of Major Mckinley in this cam
paisn remind me very much of a similar ex-
perience in the little village OF Mentor in
1880 when General Garfield was the repub.
lican candidate for the presidency, said a
woman to representative OF the New York
Sun. II was a near neighbor OF the Gar.

and | saw all the demonstrations attendant
on the visits of delegations to their homo

OF relic hunters of which the delegations
were mostly composed. The two railroads

dreds and frequently thousands of curious
persons who were bound to see the candi
date. 1t was not long before the little path
from the railroad stations became a broad
thoroughfare entirely denuded of vegetation
The relic hunters began their work OF steal
ing the flowers and plants from the flower
beds. When these were all gone the trees
and shrubbery were attacked foI
souvenirs. Then raid was made on the
cornheld. First to go was the sweet corn
which the general had hoped to have for
table use. Then followed the common field

were carried away, and pieces of the fences
and tho buildings even were taken. One of
the most popular relics with visitors was
an apple from the Garfield orchard Apples
were very plentiful that year, and General
Garfield had an orchard of trees well laden
with fruit. Every apple he had was car
ried OFF by his visitors, and l venture to
say that there are in the land, kept as
precious mementoes of that campaign, thou
sands upon thousands of dried and withered
apples stuck full of cloves to preserve them.
The owners of these relics do not know that
most of them did not grow on the Garfield
place. The neighbors of the general had to
come to his rescue from this invading army
of petty thieves and they found way to
help him when they learned that the visit
ors had turned their attention to the or
chard. Every night the neighbors would
drive around to the generals orchard and
dump wagon load on wagon load of apples
beneath his trees. 1t did not seem to mat
ter to the relic hunters that there were a
dozen different varieties of applies under
one tree, and that none of them was the
sort the tree produced; they grabbed at the
chance to get IN apple and take 1t away
as reminder of the visit. By Sailing the
Garfield place with relics the generals
neighbors and friends think they prevented
his house from being carried away piece
