WE propose to publish on the first page
of next week's JOURNAL truthful portraits
of Gen.Janlcs A. Garfield and I;en. Chester
A. Arthur, the Republican nominees for
President and Vice President, together
with biographical sketches of these dis
tinguibbed gentlemen
Go to work and organize Garfield clubs
in every election district.
CONGRESS adjourned at noon on Wed
nesday, and the country breathes freer.
JAMES G. BLAINE, the most popular
man in America, is only fifty years old,
and his time will come.
GEN. GRANT i■ the only defeated Pres
idential candidate who did not telegraph
congratulations to Gen. Garfield.
THE President has again vetoed the
Marshals' Bill. Ile sent his message to
the Senate, in which body the bill origi
nated, on Tuesday night.
THE rebel Brigadiers meet at Cincin-
nati next Tuesday to name the man to be
politically flayed by "great majority Gar
field" next November. Set 'em up.
Oua down town contemporary, the Globe,
entered its thirty-seventh volume last week,
looking as young and fresh as a Miss in
her teens. We wish it long life and pros
perity.
"GREAT majority Garfield" is what
they call him in the Western Reserve of
Ohio, and after November next, when he
shall have laid out the Cincinnati nominee,
the title will become National.
GEN. GARFIELD arrived in Washington
on Tuesday morning, and he received a
warm welcome from his friends and ad
mirers. Blaine and Sherman called on
him and tendered their congratulations.
DEATH OF DR. BO A.RDMAN.—Rev.
Henry A. Boardman, D. D., the well
known and eloquent Presbyterian divine,
died at his residence in Philadelphia, at
seven o'clock on Tuesday morning. For
forty years Ur. Boardman had been pastor
of the Tenth Presbyterian Church, Twelfth
and Walnut streets, that city.
A DISPATCH from Memphis states that
Gov. Albert G. Brown, of Mississippi, was
thrown from his horse into a pond, near
his home, on Saturday evening, and
drowned. lie was Governor for two toms,
and served his State in Congress and in
the United States Senate. lie was 67
years of age.
THE gavel used by Senator Hoar when
he presided over the Chicago convention
was made from wood taken from Lincoln's
home, and the handle was a cane grown
on the Mount Vernon estate. Senator Hoar
made an excellent presiding officer, and
we have no doubt he will highly prize this
handsome and historic souvenier.
THE Somerset /braid entered upon the
fifty-fourth year of its existence last week,
and celebrated its birthday by appearing
in a new dress. The Herald is Republican
all over, and we are glad to notice this
evidence of its prosperity. Its editor, Col.
Ed. Scull, is more fortunate than pencil
shovers generally are as he is scarcely ever
out of office of some kind.
THE Indianapolis Journal looks at it in
this logical light : "Lincoln in early life
was a flatboatmen and rail-splitter. Gar
field was a canal boat driver and carpenter.
Lincoln afterward studied law, so did Gar.
field. Lincoln's first name was Abraham,
Garfield's middle rame is Abraham. Lin
coln was nominated at Chicago, so was
Garfield. Lincoln was elected, and so will
Gai field be."
TnE Creenbackers met in National con
vention, at Chicago, on Wednesday of last
week, and after bein- et.:on three days
and one entire night, ci P. their folly
by nominating James B. ver, of lowa,
f)r President, and B F. 4 4110bers, of
Texas, for Vice President. r. Weaver
is at present a member of Congress from
the Sixth district of lowa. We believe
that previous to his joining Kearney's
party he affiliated with the Republicans.
Hendrick B. Wright, of this State, was a
candidate for the empty honor of the nom
ination, but his pole was too short to knock
the persimmon.
WE are in receipt of the initial number
of the Altoona Sunday Call, a handsomely
printed thirtyt wo column paper, filled to
the brim with news and interesting read
ing matter. We see no reason why the
paper should not pay handsomely. It has
been so long a time since we saw a copy of
the daily Coll that we forget what it look
ed like, but the reason why we do not get
it in exchange, as we do all other dailies
of the Mountain city, is, we presume, that
its management must economize at every
point to make it pay. We hope the Sun
day edition will pay so well that the editor
can afford to send us a copy of the daily.
JAMES G. BLAINE.
We, in common with the hundreds of
thousands of friends and admirers of James
G. Blaine throughout this free land, are
sorry that he was not chosen to carry the
Republican banner to victory in the polit
ical battle of 1880, but the Philadelphia
Press consoles his adherents by saying that
the failure of his friends to secure his nom
ination will not dim the lustre of the fame
of that '•leader. of leaders" nor change his
relations to the party and his time. lie
remains to day, as he has been for these
many years, the foremost man in the Re
public, the popular idol and the sponta
neous choice of four fifths of the Republi
can voters of the nation for the most ex
alted station which is in the reach of
modern ambition—an office as great in its
responsibilities and more glorious in its
rewards than any to which the ambition
of the ancients leaped or which ever was
in the gift of the Praetorian Guard. Ile
has failed to reach the place simply be
cause, while he was filled with and has not
denied the honorable aspiration which is
the birthright of every American, and has
been the first, free choice of his party, he
has had no trained bands of mercenaries to
fight in his behalf, no great captains to
compel unwilling hosts to hoist his name—
because, while the victory of the people
has been great and far reaching, Mr.
Blaine has been compelled this year to
play the part of Samson, and to destroy
his own chances of personal success with
the destruction of the conspiracy which
had been formed against the Republic and
its sacred traditions.
Editor.
But there will be little disappointment
and no heart-burnings over the postpone
ment of James G. Blaine's call to the pres
idency. lie is.predestined fur the place,
and, unless republics are truly ungrateful
and popular affection is but an ephemeral
fancy, four years hence the nation will
witness the realization of its fondest hope.
As it is, the people can rest content with
the laurels of the victory they have gain
ed this year.
Mr. Blaine is to be especially congratu
lated on the happy result of the great bat
tle in which he was the largest figure.
Now that its confusion has cleared, his
lofty stature is more than ever conspicu
ous, and he stands more than a head and
shoulders above all the multitude. It is
to him that the country owes its happy
deliverance, It was the votes of his friends
and his delegates that nominated Garfield.
lle is the author of the new political dis
pensation, and will be, so far as such a
thing is possible, the architect of the next
Administration. He is young in years
yet, and can afford to bide his time. In
his case there is none of the hope deferred
that maketh the heart sick. He has saved
his party from the defeat that a week
ago seemed inevitable, and delivered the
country from the danger of Democratic
rule and the restoration to power of the
element whose overthrow in Congress
gained him his greatest renown. His
fame and the affection of the people for
him must continue to grow, until the time
shall come when there will be no contin
gency or combination which can stand be
tween his own and the people's victory.
GARFIELD'S TARIFF RECORD.
Nearly every Democratic newspaper that
we have picked up since Gen. Garfield's
nomination for the Presidency has con
tained a falsehood concerning his tariff
record, and the curb stone politicians of
this town, who train with that party, and
who get their political information from
the pages of the Harrisburg Patriot, speak
of him as an advocate of the doctrine of
free trade, and charge him with being a
member of the "Cobden Club," an organ
ization which not more than one in ten of
them knew was in existence. The per
sons who make these charges exhibit their
ignorance of the official history of the man
they attempt to befoul. During his seven
teen years of Congressional service his
votes have always been recorded in favor
of a protective policy, and the following
letter, written by himself to a member of
the Ohio Senate, in December, 1879, at
the time of his nomination for United
States Senator, ought to satisfy all fair
minded men that these Democratic smut
mills are attempting to detract from his
fair record by the basest sort of prevari
cation. Here is the letter :
WARRINGTON, D. C.. Dec., 15, IS79—Dear Sir :
Yours of the 12th inst., inclosing a slip from the
Columbus Dispatch, is received. The writer of
that article is ei.her stupidly ignorant or a willful
falsifier. I have voted for every Republican tariff
bill which has passed the House since I have been
a member of it. I have made at least four elab
orate speeches on the tariff since I have been in
Congress, besides numerous short speeches in de
bates. My first full speech on the subject was in
1866, the second in 1870, and the third and fourth
in 1878. I have been recognized for several years
past as the leader of the Republican party on this
subject, and every Republican member of the
House knows my position, and, as I believe, ap
proves it. In 1868, I made a speech in favor of
the resumption of specie payments, in which I
discussed elaborately the doctrines of money, and
the obligations of the nation to pay its debt. The
Secretary of the Treasury sent some copies of that
speech to our minister in London, believing that
it would strengthen our credit abroad. John
Bright received a copy, and was so pleased with
it that he had me elected an honorary member of
the "Cobden Club." I had never before heard of
this club, and up to that time Charles Sumner was
the only member of Congress who had ever been
thus complimented. Some years after that, I
learned that the "Cobden Club" believed in free
trade, as nearly all Englishmen do, but, of course,
I was in no way responsible for the belief. This
matter had been repeatedly explained in the iron
districts, and it is fully understood by our leading
iron men. I represent one of the heaviest iron
districts in Ohio and in Mahoniug county, where
the largest mills and furnaces are situated, I ran
ahead of the State and county ticket last year,
and I have the support of almost every intelligent
manufacturer of the district. I write this freely
that you may understand how entirely without
foundation the article is in the Dibpateh. Very
truly, yours. J. A. GARFIELD.
'•GARFIELD 15 a ifotiler," was the re
mark the other day of a stalwart old Dem_
ecrat, from the country, who had not yet
been entirely posted. When lie reads the
Democratic papers of this week he will
find out a great many other bard names
for him, some of which it will take him
some time to master. He will become fit
miliar with such terms as "Mobilier,"
"De Golyer," "Free Trader," "Salary
Grabber," &c., &c., and last, but not leact,
be may learn that he is also a Christian,
which, as the Demecrat;c party rarely docs
business at that house, will be the most
serious okiection of all,
BROWN, the new Senator from Georgia,
made a regular square-toed, set speech, in
the Senate, on Saturday, in favor of the
Government pensioning rebel soldiers. his
speech will make a goad campaign docu
ment.
THE WORK OF THE WINDS.
A terrible tornado swept through the
southeastern part of Pottawattamie county,
lowa, on the evening of the 9th lust ,
leaving death and destruction in its track.
The cyclone is described by an eye-wit
ncss : "The storm or wind-clouds were first
observed forming both east and west of
Wheeler's Grove, the point where the most
destruction occurred, and in a short time
came totrether. The cloud, which was eon
ical in shape, came to the ground near the
Grove, traveling eastward. The track of
the storm was about a half mile in width
and swept everything before it, demolish
ing farm houses, barns, and other build
ings, and carrying some of them bodily
for hundreds of feet, then dashing them to
the ground in pieces. At one place a far
mer's house, surrounded by a frail fence,
was picked up and then dashed to pieces
in the yard, leaving every board of the
fence remain in its place. There were
from fifteen to twenty persons killed out
right and many were wounded. Those
known to have been killed were Jesse
Asler, wife, and two children ; William
Pace, wife, and his two children, and an
other child fatally injured. Alex. Osier,
wife, and child were carried in the air al
most a hundred and fifty feet and seriously
injured, child fatally; a hired man em
ployed by the latter, name unknown, killed.
Other persons, six or eight in number,
were carried away and have not yet been
found.
After the storm the scene is described
as heartrending. Parents were looking for
their children, husbands for their wives,
and wives for their husbands. Not a house
in the track of the tornado was left stand
ing, and there could not be found pieces
eneuzh of some to start a fire with. The
storm did not last fifteen minutes but was
not accompanied by rain."
MR. BLAINE appears to be a:victim of all
the ill luck, or rather of all the vile cow•
binations that are formed in the National
Convention. In 1876 a majority of dele
gates on different ballots voted for him,
but they could not be combined on auy
one ballot. Pennsylvania could then at
any time have nominated him, but refused
to do so. At the late Convention, with
no less than four-fifths of the Republicans
of the State ardently desiring his nomina
nation, almost two thirds of their delegates
oppoSed him on the first and every suc
ceeding ballot. Pennsylvania could again
have nominated him by giving him their
unanimous support, to which he was fair
ly entitled on every principle of even po
litical fair dealing.
The Repository was not, as is well
known, an ardent supporter of Blaine ; but
it believes in fair play, and insists that he
was deprived of the nomination by ways
that are dark.— Chambersburg Repository.
A TELEGRAM, dated at Philadelphia
June 11, says that Captain Rane, of the
schooner Ellen A. Merritt, plying between
that port and !an Antonio, reports that he
was fired at on the high seas, fifteen
miles east of Guanatamo, by a Spanish
man-ofwar, first a blank shot, and then
before the Merrill could come to a ball
was fired passing through the rigging.
A Spanish officer came aboard, looked
around and departed. No words were ex
changed.
Ex SENATOR Stanley Matthews, of
Ohio, was interviewed by a Philadelphia
Times reporter, in that city, on Monday
day night, and he looks upon Garfield and
Arthur as being exceedingly strong can
didates. lie says that the election in Ohio
is a foregone conclusion ; that Garfield's
nomination will bring out every Republi
can voter, and that means success for the
party.

GREAT OIL FIRE.
FIFTEEN TANKS BURNED.
Loss, Between One and Two Millions.
TITUSVILLE, June 11, 1880,
A most destructive petroleum fire has
been raging here all day and has perhaps
not yet reached its bight It started about
7 A. M. in one of the tanks of the Tidioute
& Titusville Pipe Line Company, being
struck by lightning. Two other tanks of
the same company took fire and exploded,
the oil running down in streams of fire to
Oil Creek. The location being on the south
side of the hill at the head of Perry street,
the Acme Oil Company refinery No. 2 fol
lowed and has been burning all day. The
loss is estimated at one hundred thousand
barrels of crude and crude equivalent, be
side their works. The flames spread over
the bill, reducing to ashes all the dwell
ings on Breed street. The Roberts hotel,
close to the bridge, had not burned up to
7 o'clock, but several inferior dwellings
below were consumed. The Franklin street
bridge and the railroad bridge below have
hitherto been saved by great exertions.—
Franklin street and Washington and Per
ry are full of drays and furniture from the
houses emptied by the panic stricken ten
ants. A southwest wind would threaten
the Oil Creek Railroad depot and the ma
chine shops and the Morning Herald block.
But little apprehension is felt of such a
catastrophe at present unless the wind
should take an unfavorable turn. The fire
departments of Corry, Warren, and Oil
City are here ; there is plenty of water,
and the men are working like heroes, and
are refreshed and relieved from time to
time. The refining business is the princi•
pal prop of our home industry, offering
employment to thousands, and the calamity
is therefore: a severe one and felt by all the
business and laboring classes. Mr. J. D.
Archbold, the President of the Acme Oil
Company, is now in New York City.
The total loss so far in works and crude
and crude equivalent is estimated at one
million dullais, the principal losers being
the Tidioute & Titusville Oil Pipe Line
Company and the Acme Oil Company.
The Keystone Refining Company is also
destroyed, belonging to Pickering, Cham
bers & Co., and valued at forty thousand
dollars. They lose beside their works
twenty-five thousand barrels, crude and
distillate. Octave Refinery No. 3, north
side of the creek, has so far escaped. Later
estimates place the loss at two million dol
lars. The fire is still raging and will
probably last fur a day or two longer, but,
unless the wind blows from the southwest,
it will not extend to the north side of the
creek nor attack the depot of the P. T.
B. Railroad.
A Terrible Accident
Two Steamers Collide on
Long Island Sound.
ONE TAKES FIRE AND SINKS
FIFTY LIVES REPORTED LOST.
The slo.aniers Stoniogton and Narragan•
sett collided on Long Island Sound, about
11 o'clock on Saturday night, the former
striking the latter about midship, tearing
a great hole in her side, exploding her
gas tank and setting her on fire. About
four hundred passengers were abed in the
disabled steamer, and when the situation
of affairs became known to them the
wildest confusion ensued. According to
the common story of many eye-witnesses,
derived from all sources by telegraph, as
well as from New York exchanges, the
collision occurred in this way :
The Narragansett left her pier in New
York at 5 P. m. on Friday. The night
was dark and cloudy, with some indication
of rain. About 10:30 a heavy fug set in
and continued up to and after the time of
the accident. There was no sea and the
water N‘4:3 very smooth when the vessels
met. Both of them were carrying full
lists of passengers, and at the hour of the
accident most of the passengers on both
boats had retired to their state-rooms.
Neither vessel appears to have sighted the
other in the narrow channel where they
meet and pass very closely, until they were
too near each other to check their head•
way or back water. The Stonington
struck the Narragansett on the starboard
side at about the point of the forward
gangway, and the joiner-work and guards
were ripped away aft to the boiler-room.
Soon after, it was discovered that fire had
broken out on the Narragansett, seeming
to come first from the engine room and
then from the broken gas-tank, and within
a few moments the steamer settled down;
then, after burning above the water-line
for a half hour, went down uutil her
hurricane deck, or what remained of it,
was knee-deep below the sea level, and all
her passengers were in the water, drowned,
floating on debris, in boats, in rafts, or
swimming, and the Stonington and City of
New York were doing their best to pick
up the survivors. Her passengers number.
ed between 300 and 350. They jumped
into the water or sank with the steamer.
The Stonington and the steamer City of
New York, which was in the Narragansett's
wake, picked up some 250 persons. It is
supposed that the rest are lost. Twenty
five are known to be and many are missing,
but the Narragansett's passenger list went
down with her. The collision occurred
three miles from Cornhill Point and be
tween five and six miles from Saybrook,
Conn.
The foggy night had driven most of the
Narragansett's passengers either into the
saloon or to their berths. When the colli
sion occurred the Narragansett listed far
over to port, and then, settling back, began
making water rapidly. At the crash all or
nearly all of the lights went out on both
steamers. On the Narragansett it was
evident that the blow had disconnected
the pipes from the tanks of burning gas
under pressure, with which the vessel was
lighted In the darkness the greatest con
fusion at once arose, and the officers of the
boat soon found that sinking was inevitable.
Captain Young had the fire alarm struck,
and the hands set to work vainly to put out
the fire
The majority of the passengers saved,
and who were first to reach the rescuing
vessels, came from the state-rooms on the
upper tiers, and some of these are of the
opinion that many of those in the lower
tier were unable to escape from their
rooms. When the Narragansett careened
after the acciJent, the Stonington backed
off. and before she could be put under way
and brought up beside her sister ship, she
discovered that the latter was on fire and
then held off. While the half clothed
passengers of the Narragansett were run
ning wildly about, the fire came in a great
sheet of flame from the engine-room, and a
moment later there was a sharp explosion,
and a strong flash of light told that the
gas tank had burst. The water for many
hundred yards around was brilliantly illu
minated.
All the passengers who were out of their
state rooms were now fully aware that a
struggle for life was before them. stout
lungs shouted out to the Stonington to
to come up or send help, and attempts
were made to get out the life-boats and
rafts of the Narragansett, but without
much success. When one boat wa■ got
down it was discovered that, the plug-holes
usually left open to allow rain water to
run out, were still open and that no plugs
were to be found. The passengers did
what they could with their hats as bails to
keep the boat clear of water when it was
launched. A lite-raft, too, was got over
board, and all sorts of movable material
and freight were thrown into the water to
afford support for the many passengers who,
frightened by the fire, bad jumped over.
Life preservers were plenty, but many of
them were without straps, and it was im
possible for the passengers to fasten the
slabs of cork firmly to their bodies. It is
reported that one man, crazed by fear,
stood on the taffrail, drew from his pocket
a pistol, and blew out his brains. One
man having seen his son safely placed on
a life-raft failed to reach it himself and was
lost. One old woman was traveling with
her two grandchildren, and sprang over
board with both of them in her care. The
whole three were saved. The passengers
on the Narragansett were made almost
frantic by the seeming delay on the part of
the people on the Stonington in coming to
their assistance. and shout after shout was
sent from the Narragansett, now sinking
as well as burning,' for help. The Narra
gansett had seven life boats and three life
rafts, and the Stonington an equal number,
but the loss of all presence of mind was
even greater on the Stonington than on the
Narragansett.
Among the Stonington's passengers,
however, were some able to manage the
boats, and when it was manifest that there
was no danger of any sinking of the
Stonington, all effort was made to get out
her boats to the assistance of the passen
gers of the Narragansett, who were now
partly in the water, partly on the burri
cane deck, shouting earnestly and piteous
ly for help. The bulk of the rescuing was
done by the passengers of the Stonington
and by the crew of the City of New York ;
the last-named vessel, under Captain Lamp
hear, cowing up at about the moment the
explosion tgok place and remaining at the
place of the accident until 8 o'clock in the
morning. Her boats were all manned.
As the passengers from the Narragansett
were hoisted on to the decks of the City of
New York, they were received by the
passengers of that boat with the greatest
kindness. When it was considered that
all it was possible to save had been rescued,
the Stonington and City of New York
drew up together, a gang plank was passed
between them, and the majority of those
who wished to go to New York were taken
on board the City of New York.
The estimate of the loss yesterday
morning was fifty. The number of bodies
said to have beiot recovered is twelve—
four of ladies, five of men, and three of
children.
The Stonington and Narragansett were
sister steamers. The Narragansett was
built by J. W. Simonson & Co., of New
York, and put on in 186 S. She was
valued at $250,000 and insured for $150,-
000. She was 1,634 tons burden, ?53
feet long, 40 feet wide, and 15 feet deep.
Her engines bad 8 inch cylinders and 12
feet stroke. Her boilers were renewed
last fall at a cost of about $30,000.

ST. ALBANS, VT., Jan. 20th, 1880.—Dr. B. J.
Kendall & Co., Gents :—ln reply to your letter I
will say that my experience with "Kendall's Spay
in Cure" has been very satisfactory indeed. Three
or four years ago I procured a bottle of your
agent, and with it, cured a horse of lameness caused
by a spavin. Last season my horse became very
lame and I turned him out for a few weeks when
he became better, but when I put him on the road
he grew worse, when I discovered that a ringbone
was forming, I procured a bottle of Kendall's Spay
in Cure, and with less than a bottle cured him so
that he is not lame, neither can the bunch be found.

STOUGHTON, MASS., March 16th, 1880.—B. J.
Kendall & Co.,Gente:—lo justice to you and my
self, I think I ought to let you know that I have
removed two bone spaying with "Kendall's Spavin
Cure," one vary large one,
don't know how long
the spaviu had been there. I have owned the horse
eight months. It took me four months to take the
large one off and two for the small one. I have
used ten bottles. The horse is entirely well, not
at all stiff, and no bunch to be seen or felt. This
is a wonderful medicine. It is a new thing here,
but if it does for all what it has done fur me its
sale will he very great
Respectfully Yours, CHAS. E. PARKER.

KCNDALL'S SPAVIN CURE is sure in its effects,
mild in its action as it does not blister, yet it is
penetrating and powerful to reach every deep-sea
ted pain or to remove any bony growth or other
enlargement, such as spay ins, splints,curbs, callous,
sprains, swellings, any lameness and all enlarge
ments of the joints or limbs, or rheumatism in man,
and for any purpose for which a liniment is used
for man or beast. It is now known to be the best
liniment for man ever used, acting mild and yet
certain in its effects. Send address for Illustrated
Circular which we think gives positiveproof of its
•;rtues. No remedy has ever met with such un
qualified success to our knowledge, for beast as
well as man. _ _ _
Price $1 per bottle, or six bottles for $5. ALL
