made a heliograph, or "sun writer" as
the, W ord literally implies. It is a mirror
about 10 inches in diameter, arranged on
a board so as to reflect -light through an

justed at any angle. In the center of the
mirror is a minute opening Which allows
the observer to look through. By direct
ing the aim of the apparatuk, the rays of
the sun can be reflected upon any paint,
and the observer at that point happening
to look in the direction of Pisgah's tow

DEMOCRACY AT ATHEN%2
The Democrats of Athens had fully
made up their minds to jolify, no mat r
who the candidate. might he, they were
going to him a send off with a bon
fire and speeches. So when the news was
flashed over the wires that General Hex.:
coca was the coming man,' they forgot
that it was be who helped thrash the
Democratic rebellion out of existence,
and their fears for a military despotism
vanished at once,-and they meekly pre
pared their dish of crow, boiled .it down,
and proceeded at once with their prepa
rations for the great whantdoodle in the
evening,
As'tho time drew near for the assem

Som. .The audience ,wai solidi of en
thusiasm at this point, that they were
prepared to cheer everybody; .and they
gave the cheers with such avidity that it
made the welkin ring. -
Notwithstanding the many protests
that General WINFIELD S. SCOTT was not
in the race, the meeting lost none of its
enthusiasm,. while being entreated by
Lawyer HOOD that there was need of ear
nest work, and that the Democrats must
put their shoulders together and march
on to victory. Then the great Modoc,
who bad already donned the war paint and
stixxl - niady with tomahawk and scalping
knife in 'hand, panting like a lizzard
ready for the fray, with one bound and
a mighty whoop leaped upon the • box,
and declared rinceasing.ivar on the dirty,

ulations, informed his 'bearers that be
had been ashamed of his party for sixteen
I , years, and now he had crawled out of his
- hole and would vanquish his opponenti.
It, was now evident that the enthusiasin
of the Democracy was on the wane and
needed something more substantial than the high sounding words and the spread
eagle style of the Modoc. So with that
keen perception for the wants of his con
k tituents which usually characterize the

in a personal word. '- Returning
home from Washington after the ad

midst of .the tempest. Cleveland

statement of the salary matter that
varied from the current version.
One of them said to me. ' This vote

,intensity of

grounds. of General Garfield's action,
and the spirit in which he bad acted,

even in the Hiram pulpit " Geretal
• Garfield is not a thief. -He has not
robbed the Treasury: Whether he
is right or wrong I do not argue, but
,whether right or wrong he has acted
honestly and with an eye single
to the public good.lb. And •some ; of
my, neighbors said : "-Mr. Ilinsdale

this Old constituency. _
Nor should I fail to mark how the
victory was won, how the District.
was recaptured. It was not *cora
l:dished by - MATiltement; James A.
Garfield is no "manager.'! It was
not by flattering the people and ap
pealing,to popular passions. Gener- •
al ,Garfiehl. is no demagoguo. It was
by the earnest, straightforward ex
ixisition of solid political doctrine;
it was by the high bearing of the ,
man; in a word, it was ~by the int , -
pact of his mental' and moral power
upon intelligent and honest minds.
Emmy .go further and say, as it 7 -
wiala in the District, so it was in the '
State. In a sense, in 1873, he bad
come to -be the Representative, of -
Ohio. He passed _through a State,
-as well asn District ordeal, and came
out approved.
My reply to., the 'mud-battery is
threefold : -
1. The esteem and confidence of
as able and honorable Deinoerats as
there are in the land.
2. The vindication and - indorse ; -
meat of the great constituency that
was moulded: by Whittlesey and- „
Giddings. , •
3. The vindication and Morse.
ment of the great State of 043.
But there is another and more -
overwhelming s reply than all the -
put together. I do. not believe that •
the Chicago Convention could hive _
nominated another man who touches
The American mind and heart with ,
equal power at so many points. His
early life of toil and hardship, as
well as his sympathy with the work-,
ing classes, endear him to the toiling
millions. There
,is a bathos in that
early history that touches the heart
of the humble worker. His mastgrry
grasp of politico-business questions,
and his steady fealty to sound doc., , j •
trine in all the financial madness and
treachery of the last ten years,'"_gain
him Vie support of merchants, mann- -
facturers 'and .-barikers. The school •
teachers of the land count him one,
of their number. He is more than -
acceptable to the= religious inen,to -
I the ministers of the Gospel.: Enter
the chill atmosphere -of, the college
and university lectute and recitation
rooms,;whose masters.are,not stirred - , ;
by cainpaign stories, butwho respect
thoroughness. scholarship, and noble'
character, and you will find that he
is a favorite. Enter the bare quarters
of the toiling student, who is strug-r i
gling with, his. poverty and his les-f
sons, A nd the name of Garfield is'an ‘
inspiration. I A friend writes me the"
evening of the nomination front the
great University of Michigan : "I
cannot refrain from dropping you . a -
line to congiatulate you on the well
deserved triumph of yotir friend,
Generill Garfield. Everybody here -
is in high glee. No other candidate
would have been so strong. - Now
let the Democrats do their heat.",' I
do not stand here to vilify the Dem
oefats or their coming % candidate.
But this I say without expectation
Of denial from . ,any man of sense or
honesty : No matter who that candl
'date may be -(1 hope he, .will be a . 1
good one), the ballots • that are east _'
for General Garfield will-represent a -- •
vat preponderance of what is best
in f American society. And this is
fourth and final` anSwer. to the• -
mud -battery.: .
r , .
Fellow citizens, I haVe' now re- .
sponded as best I could to your call,.
I fear I haye spoken much too long ;
if so, my excuse must be what yet r
remains- unsaid.' I have' spoken of ,
