JAMES A. GARFIELD.
The Life and Services of the Itepab
lican Nominee for Presiders*.
James Abraham Garfield was born
November 19, 1831, in the township
of Orange, Cuyahoga county, Ohio,
about fifteen miles from -Cleveland.
His father, Abraham Garfield, came
from New York, but, like his inotbei,
was of New England stock. James
was the youngest'of four children.
The father died in 1833, leaving the
family dependent upon a small fal!m;
and the exertions of the mother.'
There was nothing about" the elder
Garfield to distinguish himfrom the
other plodding farmers of the Tather
sterile township of Orange. No one
could discern any qualities in Lim
which, transmitted to the next gen
eration, might help to make a states
man, unless it was industry ; but his
wife, who is still living at an ad
vanced age, was always, fon 1 of read
ing when she could get leisure from
her hard household duties, and was
a thoroughly capable woman, 01
strong will, stern principles and more
than average kir& of character. Of
the children, no one besides James
has made the slightest mark in the
world. The older brother is a farmer
in Michigan, and the two sisters are,
I believe, farmers'Avives. James had
a tough time of it its a boy. He toiled
bard -on the farin early and late in
summer and worked at the carpen
ter's bench in winter. The best of
it was that he liked', work.. There
was not a lazy hair on 'his head. He
had an absorbing ambition to 'get
an education, and the only road open
to . this. end seemed that of manual
labor. Beady money was hard to
get in those days. The Ohio canal
ran not far from where he lived, and,
finding that the boatmen got their
pay in cash and earned better wages
than he. could make at farming or
carpentry, he hired out as a driver
on the tow-path and soon got up to
the dignity of holding the helm of a
boat. -Then lie, determined to ship
as a sailor on the lakes, but an attack
of fever and ague interfered with his
plans. 114 was ill three months, and
when he recovered he decided to go
to a school called Geauga Academy,
in an adjoining county. Ills mother
had saved a small sum of money,
which she gage Lim, -together with a
few cooking utensils and a stock of
provisiong: lie hired a small room
and cooked his own food to make
expenses as light as possible. He
paid his Own way after that, never
calling on Lis mother for any more
assistance. • By working at the car
penter's bencli mornings and eve
nings and vacation times, and teach
ing.country schools during winter,
lie managed to attend the academy
during the' spring and fall terms, and
to sage a little money toward going
to college. He had excellent healtir,
a robust frame and a capital. memory,
and the attempt to combine mental
and physical work, which has broken
down many•farmer boys ambition:
to get an education, did not hurt him.
SHELVES,
When he was 23 years of age he
concluded he had got about all there
was to be had in tlieobscure cross
roads academy. lie calculated that
he had saved about half enough
money:to get through college, pro
vided be could begi 1, as he hoped',
with the junior year.. He got a life
insurance policy and :,signed it to a
gentleman as securi y for a loan to
make up the amount he lacked. In
the fall of 1;s5:1 he entered the junior
class of Williams College, :Massachu
setts, and graduated in lli51.; with the
metaphysical honors of his class. I
have seen a daguerrotype_ of him
taken about this time. It' represents
a rather awkward youth,with a shock
of light hair standing straight up
from a big forehead, mid a frank,
thoughtfiil face, of a very marked
German type. There is not a - drop
of German blood in the Garfield fam
ily, but this picture would be taken
for some Fritz or. Carl just over from•
the fatherland. _
Before he went to college Garfield
had connected himself with - the Dis-,
ciples, a sect having a, numerous
membership in Eastern and Southern
Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky,
where its founder,-Alexander Camp
bell, had traveled and preached.
The principal peculiarities of the
denomination are their refusal to
formulate their beliefs into a creed,
the independence of each congrega
tion, the hospitality and fraternal
feeling of the members,. and the lack
of a regular ministry. When Gar
field retained to Ohio it was natural
that he should soon gravitate to the
struggling little college of the young
sect at Hiram, Portage county,t,near
his boyhood's home.. He became
professor of Latin and Greek and
threw himself with the energy and
industry which are the leading traits
of his character into the work of
building up the institution. Before
he had been two years in his profea
aorahip he was appointed president
-of the college. Hiram is a lonesome
country village three miles .from a

railroad, built upon a high hill, over-'
looking twenty raffia of cheese-mak
ing country to the southward. It
contains fifty or sixty hokses clus
tcred around the green, in the centre
of which stands thehomely red brick
college structure. Plain living and
high thinking was tie order of things
at Hiram College in those days. The
teachers were poor, the pupils were
poor - and the institution was poor,
but there was a great deal of hard,
faithful study done and many_ anibi
bitions plans fiormtd. The young
president, taught,' lectured and
preached, and all tht time studied. as
.diligently as any tiallyte in the tem
ple of knowledge. He frequently
spoke on Sundays in the churches of
;the towns of the licinity to create
an interest in the college. Among
the Disciples any one can preach
who has a mind to, no ordination be
ing required. From these Spnday
discourses came the story that Gar
field at one time was a minister.' He
never considered himself tuck and
never had any intention of inding - a
career in the pulpit. His ambition,
if he had any_outside of tht school,
lay in the direction of law wad
1118 MARRIAGE.
During his professorship Garfield
married Miss Lucretia .Rudolph,
daughter o.f a farmer in the neighbor
hood,
.whose acquaintance be had
made while at the academj, where
she was also a pupil.. Slui was a
tiniet, thoughtful girl, of eilgtilarly
sweet ad refineddisposhim, fond
of studs' and' reading, postissing a .
warrn.heart and a mind wit' the ca
pacity of steady orrowtb. The mar
iage was a love atTair on ball sides,
itil has been a thoroughl! happy
one. Much of General Chrfield'S
thsequent success in life may be
1 tributed to the never-faiiiig syna
i thy and intellectual corn paionship
o his wife, and the stimultis of a
I ving home circle. 'The yo
,g con
': 4 bought a neat little cotta front
' * on the college campus, at ' begun
Ittir wedded life poor and 11 debt,
ht with brave hearts.
In 1859 the college presidint was
called to the State Senate rpm the
counties of Portage and Jummit.
t
Ile did not resign his pi idency,
ht.cause he looked upon a fe months
in the Legislature as an ep de not
likely to change the course olhis life.
But the war came to alter all .his
plan , . During.the winter or 661 he
wal sctive in the passageEqt' meas
ure,' for arming the Statcimilitia,
and ,I.iS eloquence and enemy - made
him \3. conspicuous leader of the
Uni4t- party. Early in thelsitmmer
of Pill he was elected colon.' of an
infantry regiment (the 42.400,i5ed in

Tennessee 'n the spring ana summer
of that yutr. his last conspicuous
military seirice was at the battle of
Chickamaug. For his coiduct in
that battlejr was'promoted to a ma

army that (iv and submittyl them

The dongr(ssional tistrict in
which Garfield lived was tie one long

On entering Congresti: December,
1864, General Garfield was placed
upon the Committee on Alitary Af
fairs, with Schenck and i.' - nsworth,
who were also fresh from he field.

on terms of close friendship' with the
best men in both Houses.' His com-,
mittee service during his second term
was on the Ways and Means, which
was quite to his taste, for it gave
him an opportunity to prosecute the
studies in finance and political econ
omy which he had always felt a fond
ness for. He was a hard worker and
a, great reader in those days, going
home with his arms full of books
from the Congressional Library and
sitting up late nights to read them.
It was then that he laid the founda
tions of the convictions on the sub
ject of national finance which he has
held to firmly amid all the storms of
political agitation. Ile was renomi
nated in 18t;4 1 without opposition,'
but in 1.866. Mr:Hutchins, whom he
supplanted,'!" made an effort to defeat
him. Hutehins canvassed the
dis
trict. thoroughly; but the convention
nominated Garfield by acclamation.
He has had no opposition since in
his own party. In 1872 the Liberals
and Democrats united to - beat him,
but his majority was larger than ever.
In 1874 the Greenbackers and Dem
ocrats combined and put up a popu
lar soldier against him, but they
made no impression on the result.
The Ashtabula district, as it is gen
erally called, is the most faithful to
its reprefientatives of any in the
North. Itbas had but four members
in half a century.
Ins WORK IN CONGRESS
In the Fortieth Congress General
Garfield was chairman of the Corn
mittee on Military Affairs. In the
Forty-first; he was given. the chair
manship of Banking and Currency,
which he liked Much better, because
it was in the , line of his financial
studies. His next promotion was to
the chairmanship of the Appropria
tions Committee, which he held until
the Democrats came into power in
the house in• 1875. His chief work
on that committee was a steady and
judicial reduction of the expenses of
the government. In all the political
struggles in - Congress he has borne
a leading part, his clear, vigorous
and moderate style of argument
making him one of the most effective
s vakers in either house.
When JameS G. Blaine went to
the Senate in 1877 the Mantle of Re
publican leadership in the House was
by common, consent placed upon
Garfield, and he has worn it ever
since. In January last General Gar
field was elected to. the Senate to the
seat which will- be vacated by Allen
G. Thurman on the 4th. of March,
1881. He received the unanimous
vote of the Republican caucus,. an
honor never given to" any • man of
any party in the State of Ohio. Since
his electicinlic has been the recipient
of many complimentary manifesta
tions in Washington and in Ohio. .
(iARFIELD AS A LEADER
As a leader in the House he is
more cautious. and less dashing than
Blaine, and his judicial turn of mind
makes him' toO- prone to look for two
sides of a question for him to be an
efficient partisan. Whea the issue
fairly touches his convictions, how
ever, he becomes thoroughly aroused
and strike& tremendous blows.
Blaine'& tactics were. to continually
harass the enemy by sharp-shooting
surprises and picket firing. Garfield
waits for an opportunity, to deliver a
pitched battle, and his generalship
is 'shown to best advantage when the
fight is a fair one and waged on
grounds where each party thinks it
self strongest. Then his solid shot
of 'argument are exceedingly effective.
On the 'stump Garfield is one of the
very best orators in the Republican
.Party. Re has.a good voice, an air
of evident sincerity, great learness
and.vigor of statement, and a way of
knitting his arguments together so
as to make n speech deepen its hn
pression on the mind of the hearer
until the cliniax is reached.
- GARFIELD AT HOME.
• ,
. General Garfield' is the .possessor
of two homes, and his family, mi
grates twice a year. Some ten years
ago, finding how_unsatisfactory life
was in hotels and boarding houses,
he bought, a lot of ground (,yu the cor
ner of 13th and I streets, in Wash
ington, and with money borrowed of
a friend built a plain, substantial
three-story one. A wing was extend
ed afterward to 'make room for the
fast-growing library. The money
was repaid in time and was probably
saved in great part from what would
otherwise have .gone to landlords.
The children grew up in pleasant
home surroundings and the, house
became a center of much simple and
cordial . hospitality. Five ! ;or six
years ago the little cottage at Hiram

GENERAL CHESTER A. ARTHUR
FOIL VICE PILESIDEIIT.
General Chester A. Arthur, the
nominee of the National Republican
COnvention for the -Vice Presidency
of the United States, was born in
1831 He came to New York early
in life, and practised law in that city,
rising to wealthy respectability in
his prtifession. He derives his mili
tary title from his service on Gov
ernor Morgan's staff during the re
bellion. lle subseq nen tlf held other
local Republican offices, and was ap:
pointed Collector of Customs at New
York by I'resident Grant. He took
an active part in State politics, but
never neglected his offizial duties for
them. As Collector, he was highly
esteemed and respected by New York
importers and merchants, and they
Niery generally regretted his- sum-
Mary removal by President Hayes
tor alleged violation of the-Civil Ser
ried Reform order, forbidding office
holders to take an active part in po
litical organization. General Arthur
regarded the order as infringing upon
his rights as a citizen, and was con
scientious in his . disregard of !it.
Naval Officer Cornell, now Governor
Of New York, and SurVeyor. Sharpe,
who was.a delegate to the Conven
Lion just adjourned, were decapitated
with him for the same cause.
The first attempt at removal hung
fire, Senator. Conkling's . influence
preventing the name of Roosevelt,
whom the President named to •Suc
ceed General Arthur but in Febru
ary, 1879, the Senate confirmed the
nomination of Merritt, now Collector
of the Port of New York, and Mr.
Arthur retired. to private life. Since
that time he has been Chairman of
the Republican State Committee,
and (lid good work last year. in the .
Cornell-Robinson-Kelley gubernato
rial campaign. He was one of . the
Grant delegates from New York to
the Convention, and stuck to the
General to the last, with the solid
little army of 305. If elected Vice
President, General Arthur will
doubtless discharge the duties of - the
position to the satisfaction of the.
country and party.
Lost, His Arm.
A colored individual whose left
arm was missing, was soliciting a
small loan in Detroit, says the Free
Tress, and in recommendation of
himself he stated that he lost his arm
after the fight in the Wilderness.
" Was it in the fight ?"
"No; sail; it was arter de fight.
Dat war a powerful hot• time I tell
ye. De balls flew aroun' like snow
flakes, de cannon roared, and I
'spected to be killed for a hull half
day.
"But you were not hit?"
"No, sail; I 'spected to be, but I
wasn't."
" But how did you loseyour arm ?"
" I lost it srter de battle, sail."
" Under what circumstances ?"
"Waal, sah, all de circumstances
I eber heard of a•as dat I had .cut it
off wia a buzz•saw."
" When?"
" Twol'ars ago, sail."
" And you call this losing ' your
arm after the battle of the Wilder
ness."
"Yes, sah. f'ze hard up, sah, but
I down' want to lie to you. If I'd
lost it befo' de battle I'd say so, but
it was after de battle."
" Well, I guess it was," said the
man after a long pause, and ho went
down for a dime.

OUR PLATFORM.
Adopted by the National Republics*
tottreatton at Chicago. June 5, 15440.
The Republican' party .in National
Convention assembled, at the end of.
twenty, years since the Federal goV
ernment was first committed to its
charge, submits to the people of the
United States this brief report of its
administration. It suppressed 'a re
bellion which had armed' nearly a
million of men-to subvert the nation
al authority. It reconstructed the
union of the Statestlvith freedom in
stead of slavery asits corner stone.
It transformed 4,000,000 of human
beings from the likeness of things to
the rank of citi2ens. •It relieved
- Congress from the infamous work of
hunting fugitive slaves and charged
it to see that slaVery does not exist.
It has raised the - value of our paper'
currency from 33 per cent, to the par
of gold. It Jias restored Upon a solid
basis payment in coin for all the na
tional obligations, and has giveir-us
currency absolutely good' and eqUal
in every part of our extended country.
It has lifted the credit of the nation
from the point where 6-per-cent.
bonds sold at 86 cent's to that where
4-per-cent. bonds are eagerly sought
at a premium. Under its administra
tion railways have -increased from
31,000 miles in 1860 to more than
8:2,000 - miles in 1879. Onr. foreign
trade has increased from $600,000,40
to $1,150,000,000 in the same time,
and our exports, which were $20,000,-
000 less than our imports in 1880,
were $264,000,000 more than our im
ports in 1879. Without resorting to
loans it, has since the war closed. de
frayed the ordinary expenles of gov
ernment, besides the accruing interest
on the publid debt, and has annually
disbursed more than $30 1 ,000,000 for
soldiers' pensions. It has , paid $885,-
000,000 of the public debt, and by re
funding the balance at lower rates
has reduced the annual interest
charge-from nearly $131,000*0 to
less than $89,000,0 - 00. All the indus
tries of the country have revived,
labor is in demand, wages have-in
creesed, and throughout the entire
'..iountry there is evidence of a coming
prosperity, greater than we have
ever enjoyed
Upon this record the Republican
party asks for the ,eontinued conft
deuce and support of Abe - party and
this convention submits -for their ap
proval. the following statements of
the purposes, and principles which
will continue to guide and inspircits
efforts.
First. We affirm that the work of
the last otwenty-one years has been
such as to commend itself to the.
favor of the nation and that the fruits
of the costly victories which we have
achieved through immense difficulties
should'be preserved; that the peace
reganed . should be cherished ; that
this disseyered Union, now happily
restored, should be perpetuated, and
that the liberties secured to this gen
eration should be transmitted undi
minished to future generations; that
the order established and the credit
acquired should never be impaired ;
that the pensions promised should be
extinguished by the full payment of
every dollar . thereof; that the reviv
ing industries should be further pro
.moted, and that the commerce, al.
ready so great, should be ,steadily
encouraged.
Second—The constitution of the
United States is a suprenie law and
not a mere contract; out of, confed
erated States it made a - soveri,gri na
tion. Some powers are denied to the
States,: but the boundary between the
powers delegated and those reserved
is tope detrmined by the national_
and not the State tribunals..
Third—The work of popnlar edu
cation is one left to the care of the
several States, but it is the duty of
the national government to aid that
work to the extent of its constitution
al duty. The intelligence of the na
tion is but the aggregate of the intel
ligence in the several States, and the

migration of the Chinese as an evil
of great magnitude invoke the exer
cise of those powers to restrain and
limit that immigration., by the enact=
went of such just; humane and
reasonable-provisions as will'produce
that result.
Seventh—That the purity and pa
triotism characterized the
earlier career of Rutherford 13. Hayes
in peace and viarognd which guided .
'the thoughts of our predecessors to
hiria for a presidential candidate.have
continued to inspire him in his career
as chief executive, and that history
will accord to his administration the
honors which are due to an 'efficient,
just and courteous discharge of' the
public business, and will honor his" !
interposition bet*perr the people ;and •
proposed partisan 'laws: - •
Eighth—We charge upon the Demo:
cratic party the habitual. sacrifice Of .
patriotism-and justice to a supreme .
and insatiable lust - of Office and pa
tronage ; that to obtain possession -of
the national and State governments
and' the control of place and position
they have obstructed all effort to pro ,
mote the purity' and to conserve the
freedom. of suffrage; and have devis
ed fraudulent Certifications and re
turns; have labored tci . useat lawfully
elected members of Congress, to:se,
cure at all hazards the vote of a ma
jority of the' States in the. House of
Representatives; haVe endeavored to
occupy by force and fraud the places
of trust glycol.° others by the people'
of Maine, and rescued; by the cour
ageous action of Maine's patriotic
sons; have by methods vicious in
principle and tyrannical in practice
attached partisan legislation to ap
propriation bills, upon whose passage
the very movements of the govern
ment depend, and Irtve crushed the
rights of individuals; have advocated
the principles and sought thelfaver
of rebellion against the nation and .
have endeavored to obliterate the
sacred memories of the war andto
overcome its inestimably valuable
results of nationalitY4ersonal free-
dom and individual equality.
The equal, steady and complete eri.;
forcement of laws and the protection
of all our citizens in the enjoyment
of all privileges and immunities
guaranteed by the constitution are
the first duties- of the nation. Tfie
dangers of a Solid 'South can only be
averted by a faithful performance of
every promise which the nation has
made to the citizen. 'The execution
of the laws and the punishment of
all those who violate\ them are the
only safe methcicis by which a'n en
during peace can. be secured and
genuine prosperity established
throughout the South. Whatever
promises the•natiMi makes the nation
must perform; and the nation cannot
with safety relegate this duty to the
States. The solid South mast be di
vided by the peaceful agencies of the
ballot, and all opinions must there
find free 'expression, and. to this end
the honest votes must •be protOted.
against terrorism, violence, di frllud.
And we afirm it to be thedUtY'and
the purpose of the Republican party
to use every legitimate mean - S i t° re
store the Statcs,of this Knionto
the mast perfect !hitt mony tkat may
be practicable, and we submit it - to
the practical, sensible .people .of the
United States to say whether it

of the National government to the

The 'Republican party, adhering to
the principles "affirmed by the last
National Conveiition, of :respect for
the constitutional 'rules governing
appointment to office, . adopts the
declarationpf President Hayes that
the reform civil service shall be
thorough, radicil and complete; to,
that end it demands_ the co-operation
of the legislative with the executive
departments of the government and.
that Congress shall so legislate that
fitness, ascertained by proper practi--
al tests, shall admit to -the public
service.

No matter to you who old Jen was,

and that , the boys sometimes, hooted
her. on the streets for sc hag, and
people .passed her by without a scond

as she was a 'washerwoman and a
beggar at home, she had no soul to

think soj Wasn't. it - curious that
never a man or. woman had a kindly
word for that lonely old woman until
an hohr before her death ?. Think of .
the number of churches - and clergy=
men and Christian people in Detroit,
and then wonder that no .one' had
ever stopped this lonely exile on the
street as she hobbled along, and took
her trembling hand and said

"It would be mockery," she whisper- .

there was a GO or a heaven. I have
-been wicked, but—but I was old and,
poor and weak,. and all• the world
seemed to hate •me!"
Tears came again, and efter awhile
she said : "But there is a God and
a ,heaven. I have faith in both. Years
ago my first-born was taken from me
by death. He was but a child, know
ing no sin, and he is there among .
the angels. He - will ask God to for
give me. When I cross- over the
dark river he will be the first to meet
me on the heaven-lit.' shore. Oh !..1

and I know that Odd will forgive me, O
for the life he gave me has been drear
