As to the question ol a platform of

whatovor. Wo have several first-class
candidates, among whom thero aro no
bitter antagonisms. Tho only ques
tion ia tho standard bearer, and with
judiciouschoico and iho harmony which
prevails success is more than probablo.
If it is possible to select a candidate in
harmony, so much the bettor. It will
not do to select one against whom

bo called upon constantly to defend.
In this campaign we must not allow
oursolvos to be placed npon tho defen
sive as to our platform ol prinoiplos or
candidate, but we must be prepared to
make an aggressive campaign and
drive the enemy npon the doiensive
and keep him there. Now, no more

THE BUTCHERY A T CHICAGO.
The masaacro of Republican "inno

blood-curdling, in a political sense, of
cournu I
Grunt's forces wero marabali'd with
extraordinary nkill by Senator Conk
ling and maintained lliuir corps intact
throughout tho bnttlo. A Republican
National Convention has dono for him
what tho "rebels" wore never able to
do it has duleatud him and driven
him in ditturace from tho field I We
would have been glad to have seen
him nominated, lor ho would have
been a candidate who could not possi
bly bavo been ulerted, but wo rojoico
in bis defeat because it ends (and we
hope forevor) all attempts to defy the
unwritton law of tho land, tbo legaoy
of "the Father ot his Country," that
no man shall bo permitted to porpotu
ate himself as President beyond a sec
ond term. The country has certainly
rnado an escape from a calamity that
was tearful to contemplate, but the
idea of Empire will not be fully oblit
erated until tho Republican purty has
been crushed and consignod to politi
cal oblivion as ofTocluully as Grant.
But the Republican masses have not
had their way. Their voice haa been
treated with contempt by their Na
tional Convention. Tho idol they wor

Cold-blooded John Sherman met

Amongst tho most gratifying results

Tho Commonwealth extending from

test, among other good things, made
this statement:
"At tho eloctioii in tho Fall of 1878
there were threo candidates voted lor
in tho Twentieth Congressional dis
trict for Guvei nor, and the entire voto
given lor tlio three was L'4,511 votes,
whilo the Congressional vole in tho
sttni.i district was 2ti,H.!5. The actual
increased vote given for Iho two can
didates for Congress over tho vote
given for Governor was 2,31. In this
stato of lads is tlevuloped ono of the
most remarkable circumstance! m tins
case, almost unprecedented In the his
tory of election in this country since
ilm foundation of tho Government.
That tho Congressional voto should ex
ceed tho total vote for Stato officers Is
a most unusual circumstance, and that
2,334 legal voters in that district
should go to tho polls and voto alone
for tho Congressional candidates and
refrain from vcling for tho candidates
for Governor almost surpasses human
bcliel. This excessive voto corres
ponds to a certain extent wilh tho
number ol non-rogisierca voios ascer
tained to have boon given by tho in
vestigation in this case. When con
sidered in connection with tho fact
that tho Assessors are supposed to
have dono their duty in making a reg

tho district, whoro tho people aro com

raised that tho extraordinarily largo

"In this recital ol facts, which are

"It is in evitlcnco in this caso that

Wo dislilto vory much to publish
such stubborn facts. When away from

tion of our friends to tho talents and
moral integrity of tho voters in tho

LETTER FROM LA IVHEXCE.
Mb. Hiiitor: In tho last Citisen I
find a Proclamation feigned hy "John
Ray Bixlor, Chairman of the Into
Greenback Committeo, ol Clearfield

tuin declares the organization dissolved,
aud calls upon tho individual members,
whom bostybs his "Mends," to "dis

"homes " This announcement is of
ilself tiifllciunlly blnrlliog, but is in
teusiflcd by some admissions which
the public I m Io expected.

knows "whereof ho afllrms." Hu is
about tho onlv "leader" tha Green
back parly over had in Clearfield
county, and as hu not long since ahun
donod it and joined thatol tho Democ
racy, which ho now wants to "lead,"
it is lair to inler thut he has dona so
for tho purposo of gaining "plueo and
money.
Ho also makes another confession
which should not bo overlooked. Ho
says: "1 ho Greenback cbiibo lias lieen
so OunglitHjIy condmitd, and tlio party
so multiludinonsly divided on tho sim
plcst qaostions," that "it Is now a sign
of tho want of good sense to see men fol
low; the leadership of a Kearney, a
Kilgore, a hulloeli, or a jiowocs."
Why he did not also add tho nnmo ot
"ft Bixler" can onlv bo accounted for
on tho suppositiou ibat his unexampled
modesty restrained nun irom Fpeuuing
of himself in connection with tho"bnng-
ling" manner in whiclt the affairs of
tho defunct party Wero conducted dur
ing tho time ho wus its acknowledged
"leader."
And rif.'ht here, the question arises:
If tho 'Greenback cause was as
"bunglinjjly conducted" as be alleges,
what advuntngo can tho Democracy
expect to dcrivo from tho acquisition
of such a stupendous "bunglu" as tho
editor of tho Cili:en writes himself

We did not intend to notice this bom
bastic bungler until drawn in as above ;
but wero content to let him drift and

HA YES AXD SHERMAN'S
REMARKS.
When Hayes went into tho Whito
Houso to draw Mr. Tilden's so, liny, us
President, ho found Mr. Chester A.
Arthur, now tbo Itadicul nominee for
Vico President, Collector of thu Port
at New York, put there by Grunt. It
seems that Hayes and Sherman soon
found oit thut he wus not un honest
man, and unfit for thut place, and there
fore removed him, and the 31st day of
January, 1873, they addiossed Arthur
a letter. Among other things Huycs
remarked :
"Yon buvo made the Custom House
a centre of partisan political manage
ment." "Wilh a deep sense of my
obligations under the Constitution, 1
regard it as tny plain duty to suspend
yon. in order that tho offico may be
honestly administered."
Secretary Sherman addressed him
on thu saino subject, and in his letter
we find the following :
"Gross abuses ol administration have
continued and increased during your
incumbency." " Tersons bavo been
regularly paid by you who buvo run-
derod littlo or noscrvice; Ihoexponscsof
your office havo increased, whilo its
receipts have diminished. Bribes, or
gratuities in the shapo of bribes, have
been received by your subordinates in
several branchos of the Custom House,
and you have in no caBo supported tho
effort lo correct those abuses."
Reader, remember thut these gross
charges aro not Democratio lies ; but
Radical truths. Now, if Mr. Arthur
failed to administer the affairs ol the
Custom House HOXKSTI.Y.bow is ho
likely to behave should he acciduully
bo elected Vice President, llo increas
od the exnonscs by kecpinir a cang of!
loafers, whom ho paid, and thereby
reduced tho revenues ol tho Treasury
What a marked shamo to nominate
such a man I

11 o'clock most ot tbo passengers on
both steamers had retired lor tbo night.
Half an hour lator, when off tho Con
necticut rivor, everybody was startled
by a loud crash, followed by shrieks
and cries of frightened passengers who
had not yet sought their berths. The
Stoninglon bad crashed into the Nar
ragansett, striking hor amidships and
cutting bor nearly to the wator'a edge.
The hugo vessel trembled lor an In
stant and then reeled to one sido. Star
tled passengers in scanty atliro, aroused
oithor by tho shouts ol the crow or by
the sickening sights of tho collision,
were by this timo thronging upon the
decks. The wails of women and chil
dren mingled wilh the agonized shouts
ol mon, while the entire throng rushed
aimlessly to the sido of tho vessel,
where tho quick commands of officers
and tho shouts of tho crow indicated
where tho trouble was located. A
sonso of tho fact that a collision had
occurred at midnight in a donse fog
with no point of land in sight had
scarcely boon rcalir.ed by tho terrified
passongors ero shouts from bolow camo
up, adding to the already terrible con
tusion. Volumes of smoko gushed out
from tho hatchway. The stairways
wore choked with the sickening fumes
of gas. The tank had burst, the gas
took fire and in a momont almost all
the vossel was in flames. The scone
of horror cannot bo described, as men
with their wives or children rushed to
the boats or aonvht somo movahlo ob
ject npon which they cast themselves
out into too waves, nrelorrins me un
certainty of tha dark waters rather
than iho horrible death which seemed
imminent, as the flames now began to
mako thomaolvos apparent in flaring
longuoa thro' stairways and crevices.
Tho officers, each at hit post, sought
to allay the awful confusion, and were
taking slept lor embarking the passen
gert in the lilo-boats. Haste waa more
valuable than gold, for life depended
on it. Already the crushed and reel

Sinkinir slowly, tho steamer was now

In the short snuco of fillecn minutes
thu entire hull wus wrapped in flames,
umid which tho flutter ol women's gar

The shrieks ol mothers whoso children

selves overboard were struggling des

While these terrible scenes wero bo.

selt, the Stoninglon was blowing quick
whistles of distress. Tho City of New
York, of tho Norwich lino, lieurd tho
signals and camo alongside, und both
steamers did all in their power to save
life. In littlo more tbuu half an hour
tho Nurragunsctt went down. Dor
disappeurunco wus awful in its sudden.,
iioss. As was discovered afterward,
tho bow of tho Slonington, when it
struck its 1'utal blow, bad exploded the
gas metre, and this explains tlio rapid
ity wilh which the lire spiead in all
directions. When tho steamer sank
tbo sui face ol tho water w as covered

them badly scalded, others nearly
helpless from fright Many wentdown
and mmlo no sign, lbe boats irom
the Stoninglon weio five in number,
and when they finally reached tbo
spot, they did good service and rapidly
pulled tbo survivors out of tho water.
In this good work they wero assisted
by tlio boats of tho City of Now York.
The officer! ol the sleamors appear
lo havo acted with promptness and to
havo put out their boats with little do-

two hours, and the Burvivors we

The Stoninglon arrived hero at C:30

died from the shock, and Rov. K. B.
I.ockwood, ol tho bixly-oigbth btreet

were all scantily uttiied, and
the people ol Stoninglon dressed

Everything was dono fur thoir oom-

THE RADICAL XOMIXEES.
James Abraham Garfield was born
November 10, 1831, in the township
ol Orange, Cuyahoga county, Ohio,
tlbol.t. flIWn miln. from f 'l.-.lnH
ins Hither, -Abraham Garfield, camo
from New York, but, liko his mother,
wasot Now Kngland. James wus the
youngest ot four children. Tho futhor
died in 1833, leaving tho family depend
ent upon a small farm and tho exer
tions of tho mother. Thero was noth
ing about tho older Garfield to distin
guish him from tho other plodding
farmers of tho rather sterile township
ofOrnnge. No one could discern any
qualities in him, which, transmitted to
tho next generation, might help to
make a statesman, unless it was indus
try; but bis wife, who is still living at
an advanced ago,' was always fond
of reading when she could get leisure
from hor hard household duties, and
was a thoroughly capable woman, of
strong will, etcrn principlca and moro
than avorago l'oroo of character. Of
tho children no one besides James has
made tho slightest mark in tho world.
Tho elder brother is a termor in Hicbi
gan, and the two sisters aro farmers'
wives.
James A. was indnstrious, worked
as a farmer, carponter and boatman.
Ho earned lor himself an academic
education ; entered Williams College,
Massachusetts, at tho ago of 2.1, and
two years later in 18.rifi, ho gradnatod
carrying off ono of tho honors. In
early bib he connected himself wilh
tho Disciples or as it ia Commonly
called tho Campbellite church, a relig
ious denomination quite numerous in
that neighborhood, and though not
ordained, was recognized as a minister
of that faith, proaching to several con
gregations in tho neighborhood of his
homo. In the struggle to get an edu
cation, it is generally believed that tho
members of the denomination wbo
could afford to do so volunteered
assistance to him, with a view thereby
to bettor qualify him to discharge Ins
ministerial duties and advocato tho
doctrines of tho denomination.
During the period of Garfield's ab
sence at college a small academic
establishment was built np at Hiram,
Ohio, called Hiram Institute, under
tho auspices and management of
tho Disciples church. Upon rcceiv
ing bis diploma ho returned to Ohio
nml at once assumed the professorship
ot Latin and Greek in Ibis struggling
institution. Two vears later ho was
rnado President of the establishment,
and in both capacities he labored assid
uously and intelligently to advance the
interests and promote tho growth ol
the institute
Aa sympathy with bis surroundings
brought him within the palo of the
Disciples church, be also joined the
popular clamor of tho Western liescrve
against slavery. His first prominent
identify with politics was In 1859,
when lie was choson to the Ohio State
Senate from tho district comprising
I'ortage and Summit conntics.
At tho breaking out of the rebellion
bo entered tho army as Colonol of the
rorty-scoond Heginient, Ohio volun
tccrs, and was speedily promoted to
the rank ol Mngadior tioneral. in
tho Fall of 1802 ho was nominated by
the Kepnblicnns ol tho Nineteenth
Congressional district and his election
followed without much opposition. Ho
ontcred Congross in December, 1803
nnd has served during each succeeding
Congress as the representative ol the
same district. In 1874 tho exposures
ot the Crodit Mobilier examination
oreatcd such a revolution of aontiment
against Mr, Garfiold that he secured
the ronomlnatinn only alter a close
contest, and at tho election hie vote fell
several thousand behind the strength
of his nurtv. In 1870 and 1H7H thnmrh
he bad succeeded In part in throwing
the mantle of obscurity ovor this and
other charges which bavo from lime
to timo been made against Ids Integri
ty, no has each timo lullon considerably

tion with the DcGolyer pavement

hit client will bo rontilatcd extensively
during the ponding campaign. Last
Winter his contests wore settled In tho
district by his election to the I'nited
Statos Senate to suecccil Jir. llitir
mun. Ho will take his seat in that
body on tho 4th ol March, 1881, unless
in a moment ol foolish confidence he
should resign, in the hope ot going lo
the oilier end t Pennsylvania avenue.
General Chester A. Arthur is lbe
sou of a Presbyterian clergyman, und
was born in Albany county, New York,
about fifty years ago. llo graduated
at I'liiim College and entered upon
manhood as a lawyer in Now Yol k
city, llo gained utmost immediate
prominence und a reputation among
Abolitionists through the (unions I.e.
mon caso in 1852, upon which tbo
question whether a slavo remained in
bondage when on Ireo soil was finally
disposed of. Lemon, a Virginia slave
holder, lrMvv;lv eight slaves to New
York, and a colored Now Yorkor
brought the question of thoir liberty
into tho CourU. E. I). Culver, Willi
whom vounir Arthur was associated,
uppeared for tho slaves and Henry It
Uhnton and others against them. I no
Supremo Court deelarod them frco.
Tbo decision provoked national excite
ment. The Govornor of Goorgia de
clared it just causo for war. Tho Vir
ginia legislature resolved to appeal
tbo caso. Tho ueneral term uphold
the first decision. (Muster A. Arthur
and W. M. Evarts argued for Iho slaves
before the court ol appeals and won
a final victory. General Arthur be
camo an active politician, llo was a
delei'ato t tho first Republican Con
volition in tho Stuto of New York.
When tho war broke out ho became
Enginccr-in-Chief on Govornor Mor
gun's Stuff and soon alter was (Junrttir-
master General ol tbo htato ot JNew

Convention of 18G4 in preventing the
nomination ol Dickinson una securing
tho nomination of Andrew Johnson.
Ho was appointed Collector of tho port
of New York by President Grant in
1871 to succeed Thomaa Murphy, and
was removed by Hayes soon after tho
latter'a accession to oflico for abuses
in his administration of tho office.

SEDUCED INTO THE SERVICE Or
AN INFAMOUS RINI1.
It will be remembered when the
Hoard of Public works, of Washington
city, inaugurated the city iniprovcnts
in 1872, they advertised for bids of all
kinds of patent pavcmonls, and when
tbo bids wero received they referred
tbo various plans proposed to a com
petent advisory Board of Kngineers,
consisting of General M. C. Meigs, A.
A llumyhroys, J. K. Barnes, O. E.
Uabcock and Fred. Law Armstrong,
who, alter a careful analysis, reported
unanimously against the De Golycr
wood pavement, and in favor ol tho
Seelcy process, whorenpon Do Golycr
A Co., furnished flOOlOO, sending the
notorious Georgo R. Chittenden with
tho sumo to influence tho Board.
Chittenden upon his arrival, at onto

Mr. W. J. Huntington, cashier of the
banking house of J. I ook & Co., to op-
orato upon tho Hoard individually and
collectively in favor ol the rejected
pavement of Do Golyor 4 Co., the
Hoard refusing to consider further
their proposition.
Chittenden at once sought (jeneral
Garfield, then Chairman of the Com.
mittcoon Appropriations of tbo House
of ltoprcsonlativcs, through whom all
appropriations lui the District hud to
be made, lo carry out tho ttior. pro
jected city improvements, and with
tbo said Chairman Garfiold, made a
special contract, his portion being con
tingent upon tho amount of pavement
obtained at tho stipulated prico of
$3.50 per aqnaro yard of DcGolyer
pavement Io. I.
Charles K. Jenkins, one of the firm
of DcGolyor, Mcl.elland i Co , testified
that it was Iho "official" influence of
Garfield as Chairman of the Commit
too on A ppropriations that was sought.
llo also oxhibitoa many tellers lo the
Glover Commitlco, investigating tho

imperative nccossity ol securing Chair
man Garfield at whatever cost within
tho $100,000 furnished by the firm.
r rom among theso letters the fol
lowing extracts will bo found suffi
ciently significant to explain tho pur
poso in view :
first, in a letter Irom Ubiltendon lo
Do Golyor and Mcl.olland, dated Feb
ruary I'd, 1872, this language is used:
1 ho iirsl act was lo capture Hunting
ton and tho Governor; next, to par
ali.o tho paving companies. This has
boon dono effectually ; allianco for tbo
future is entirely complete"
Here is an extract from a nolo ol
Georgo Jl. Chittenden, dated May 80,
IHiL', at tlio Arlington, Washington
city:
"Tuesday afternoon, Pin-sons arriv

all. The connection is complete, lean
hardly realize toe have General Garfield

gratifying, as alt the appropriations for
the District must come through him."
Again, G. II. Chittenden, writing to
Robert Mcl.elland, ono of tho partners
of tho paving company, from tho Ar
lington, Washington, March .10, 1872,
says: "Had a long talk with tho Gov
ornor this morning. Ho will soo that

Monday can tell."
The following telegrams speak for
themselves:
Krom Chittenden lo Mcl.elland
"If absolutely necessary, 1 have agreed
to pay $115,000 in cash, wo to have

Telegram from Chittenden to Mo

"Tho Dents in that crowd do not
amount to tho first thing. Governor

Col. II. It. Nickorson, owner ol tho

Filloen days after the adjournment
