Bullen were the portentious clouds
that hung 'with fearful import over
the long-continued proceedings of the
great Republican Convention at
Chicago. Specters were there in
whose terrible aspect there seemed to
linger tokens of calamity, discord and
perhaps defeat. Ambition was there
in the person of the great triumvirate,
and Just what the action of these men
meant, the common people were at a
loss to know. Did their tenacity mean
an Empire, or was their determination
the result of patriotism and a desire
to advance the best interests of the
country ? People who ordinarily took
but little interest in the proceedings of
a political convention were aroused to
a sense of dread of a something which
Seemed likely to transpire.but although
an undefined something yet it took
deep hold on the mind, and gave rise
to an Impulsive hope that that dread
something, that threatened calamity,
might pass by. This hope sprang from
the unselfish desire of the great public
beart tvhieh always beats right, to see
in" the action of this convention a new
promise that the traditions of our
lathers, the heritage of their sons,
should still hold sway in the land to
the end that the greatest of all the
nations of the earth should make and
liold her advance in the great guaran
tee of the rights of the people. The
eloudd dispersed, the specter vanished;
ambition was doomed to sad aud bitter
msappointment. A tew men were
disappointed, but the hope that the
country has so long reposed in the
Republican party was not violated.
.The final action of this convention
met with a hearty response from the
heart and lip of every Republican in
the land. The ray of light that broke
through the sullen clouds, dispelled
the darkness of dread and illuminated
the political sky with the light of cer
tain and triumphant victory. All
factions were by this most acceptable
humiliation at once reconciled, all
petty spites were thrown aside, while
in their stead there has arisen a gen
eral a spontaneous desire, that success
of principle is to be preferred to the
ambition ot any man. in mis issue
of The Advocate will be found a
few extracts which will serve as straws
to show the course of the wind. And
if unanimous consent by the Repul
lican press means anything it means
the certain election of James A. Gar-
Held. Then the testimony of all the
defeated candidates, who hasten to
place themselves on the side of a man
whom they know assures victory, tells
its own story, and is only another
fttraw which shows thedirection of the
Wind. Yes, the wind is ui) almost to
a gale, and by November's election
day will be a hurricane that shall ele
vate James A. Oarlielil to the presi
dential chair. Ohio is Republican;
"New York is Republican; Pennsyl
vania is Republican; Indiana is Re
publican; Connecticut is Republican.
All the Republican states are Repub
lican for James A. Garfield. Let the
Democratic candidate have ihe '-solid
south," their hope and their boast.
This will avail them nothing. They
shall not succeed.
Washington Letter.
From our regular Correspondent.
Washington, D. C, June 12, 1880.
The Chicago convention absorbs
every other interest here, aud our
solons and office holders give them
selves up to watching the contest. So
much depends on the result there, or
rather upon the person nominated,
for platforms nowadays weigh little
with the people, that until it is de
termined who is selected, precious
little work will be done by our pol
iticians, whether law-makers or oflice
holders. The excitement at the house
side of the Capitol is intense. Bul
letins are constantly received and
peated by the several telegraphs
which are iu the lobbies, and crowds
of members, pages, bootblack, and
visitors gather around them, making
free 'passage of the corridors a matter
of extreme difficulty. The "dark
horse" is the favorite candidate. No
one questions thut the nominee of the
Cincinnati Convention will be most
largely determined by the selection
at Chicago; hence the deep in
terest evinced by the Democrats
as well as by Republicaus. It has
been freely claimed that Grant has
had the-most skillful generals to- fight
for hint iu Conkling. Logan; and
Cameron ; but those who knew Mr.
Hale's strong, parliamentary xwers
felt that Mr. IJluinc had iu him a
leader equal to any, and those worth
ies, in locking horns with him, have
had a convincing demonstration that
he can make his mark at Chicago as
well as in Congress. When Mr. Hale
uud Sam Randall were pitted against
ch other in the House wo often saw
L . 51 X A
contests between them of deepest hi'
terest, for both are skilled in parlla
tnentary tactics, nnd are possessed of
the greatest natural tact, readiness,
and shrewdness.
The nppropration bills are being
slowly disposed of, and, were Con
gress in dead earnest In the matter of
speedy adjournment, all could be acted
on prior to June 15, but this as we
have heretofore written, we regard as
nearly impossible, for the windmill
of political debate will certainly be
set up as soon as the Chicago Conven
tion does its work in baud thirty days
will hardly suffice to take in die loos
ened sails.
Ex-Senator Christianey's divorce
suit lias again put in a public appear
ance in our courts, and an order has
been made allowing Mis. Christiancy
$150 mouthy alimony and $ 00 counsel
fees. She denies, in her answer to
his bill, all his allegations of adultery,
etc., and claims she is a sadly ag
grieved wife at his hands. Whether
true or not, the case is one which will,
in its trial, give as much food for police
gazettes in disgusting details, as any
which lias ever appeared here. The
plaintitriias had unscrupulous detec
tives on her track for years, aud we
doubt not will inject into his attack
upon her character, in the final trial,
as much perjury and mistiness as
such bloodsuckers are capable of. It
is possible that his private detectives
may be honest, and give honest evi
dence, just as it is possible for a man
to get struck with lightning under a
cloudless sky, but we are somewhat
skeptical.
One of the most popular officers of
this post, Col. J. C. Audenreid, died
oil the 8rJ lust, after an illness of
some two months duration. He was
one of General Sherman's stafl", and
h;s always had a high social position
in our fashionable society, owing to
his general personal excellencies. As
a gallant soldier, who had justly
earned, by true merit in the field, his
many promotions, and as a citizens
who made himself a pleasant portion
of society, his loss is sadly felt, and
his family have the kindest sympa
thies of all who ever met him, either
on business or socially.
James A. Uarfleld.
Philadelphia Press.
The Chicago convention has done a
good work. The nomination of James
A. Garfield is not only a strong and
wise one in itself, but it is singularly
well calculated to harmonize the var
ious factions and thoroughly unite the
entire Republican party. There is
nothing which has been more clearly
demonstrated than that the first choice
of the great mass of Republicans in
those States which had Republican
majorities to give was James G.
Rlaine of Maine. His nomination
would have been a popular triumph
and would have elicited a display of
enthusiasm such as no other living
American statesman can command.
The campaign would have been one of
unusual excitement as the untiring
zeal of his followers would have suf
fered no abatement or omitted no oc
casion for making its power felt.
Rut zeal and enthusiasm, though of
great value in a campaign, do not
avail beyond a certain point. It is
after all, the silent vote that deter
mines the result, and it is by no
means assured that Mr. Rlaine could
have rallied the full Republican
strength. Many whose party allegi
ance is slack had declared against
him. This in connection with scant
support in certain prominent Repub
lican quarters, would have made his
election in November far less certain
than is that of the candidate finally
agreed upon.
Mr. Garfield, unlike most compro
mise candidates, need no introduction
to the country. lie has been for
many years iu the public service; his
record is known, his opinions are
known, his ability has been tested
and his character proved over and
over again. The leadership of his
party in the House fell naturally to
him, not only because he was an able
parliamentary tactician, but because
in the thorough mastery and discus
sion of economic questions he had
there no superior. Of broad culture
and wide human sympathies moder
ate in language yet strong in ids con
victions, with a nice sense of justice
and with a head so uniformly level
that no excitement can ruille it or
no sophistry confuse. When counsel
is needed he is ever ready with words
of sober common sense, which carry
conviction in their mere statement.
The country cannot but regard such
a man with just confidence and deep
respect. His is, moreover, one of
those generous Western natures which
with better acquaintance inspire
strong personal attachment. j
The supporters of Blaine, Grant, !
Sherman, Edmunds and Washburn
can each support Garfield with ail the
zeal aud interest that they would have
given their special candidate. The
independent voter who thinks little '
of parties but a great deal of candi- !
dates, will find in General Garfield ;
one who comes up even to his exact
ing standard. As, owing to the com-,
position of the convention aud the
divided state of public feelings, it was
demanded that personal preferences !
give way to the best interests of the
entire party, we regard the nomina
tion of Mr.Garfield as the most fortu
nate one which the convention could
have placed before the country. With !
his name at the head of their ticket, the
Republican party will again, as in
1800, carry every Northern State.

and it can always bo kept on a line with the
Plow.
The wheel will ran under tho beam or one
Bide of it as desired, and always kept in line.
The beam Is adjustable for Spring or Fall
Plowing, and also for two or three- horses.
Tho handles can bo adjusted to accommc
dato a man or boy, on tho same Plow.
It is a perfect Plow.
Wooden beams are going out of use because
they shrink, swell and warp, and never run
two seasons alike.
Iron beams are too heavy.
Malleable beams become demoralized and
bend, which is much worse than to break.
A Steel beam is tho necessity of tho day. It
Isthree times as strong and very much lighter
than any other Etyle,
When ice say a Mold board la chilled, the
runners know it is so.
We do not palm off on them a composition
of various metals and call it chilled metaL
We want agents for this new Plow In every
town In this State.
We can give but a very small discount to
them, but we will pay tho Railroad Freight.
We propose to place this Plow In the hands
of Farmers as near the cost of manufacture
as possible.
It will bo the Lent Agricultural Implement
ever sold.
It shall also be tho cheapest.
Persons therefore who aro not willing to act
as agents on the principle that "a nimble six
pence is better than a slow shilling," need not
apply for an agency.
No Plows on commission. AU sales absolute.
-Thla lathe only bteel chilled Plow In
the World.
Hteel costs several times more than Iron. -But
this Plow, full rigged, by giving small
discounts, can be sold for Seventeen Dollars.
Compare tills price with that of any Iron Plow
ever made.
It Vi cheaper than any other Plow now
made would b9 at live dollars and a hulf.
Where there are no ugenta wa will, on re
colptof Seventeen Dollars, send a Plow to any
Kallroad station la the state and pay the
freight. Address,
