Republican National Nomination. For President, James A. Garfield, of Ohio. For Vino President, CnKSTEii A. Arthvk, of New York. Republican Slalo Tlchel. For Supreme Judge, HENRY GREEN, of Northampton County, For Audilo'r General, JOHN A. LEMON, of Phiir County. A gentleman who has just arrived nt Washington from General Gar field's home nt Mentor says that he has within a few days resolved more than a thousand letters and telegrams from ex-members of the "Roys in Rlue," suggesting that the old organ izations he revived and put In work ing order for the campaign. The New York Tribune has this to say of the Democratic-Greenback Alliance in Maine: Tho issue is made, therefore, and the Democratic party shoulders nil the infamies of Oarcoion. There never was a campaign where the duty of honest men was clearer, nnd it will be strange if the election returns do not show that they saw It and did it. "Consider what Lee and Jackson would do If they were alive. These are the principles they fought for for four years. Remember the men who poured forth their blood on Virginia's soil and .do not abandon them now Remember that upon your vote de pends the success of the Democratic ticket." Wade Hamilton's speech at Staunton Va., July 20, 1880. A private latter to Washington from a friend of General Hancock in New York says that there has been so much discussion about a letter written by General Hancock to General Sher man during the days of the Electoral count that General Hancock has be come anxious for the publication of the letter, preferring such publication to a continuation of the discussion while its contents are unknown The letter says that the General has noth ing to fear in such publication. Judge Kelley was interviewed In Washington on Wednesday by a correspondent of the New York Time with this result: "Of course I have oppinions concerning the result of the Presidential election in other States, but I know what the result will he in Pennsylvania. My intercourse with the people, irrespective of party, has satisfied me that the tariff and free ship plauks In the Democratic plat form will give the Republican an un usual majority in that State, and prob ably add to the Republican strength of the next Congressional delegat ion. General Weaver in his speecli at Montgomery, Alabama, suid: "I find that it is conceded everywhere in your State the Independent ticket will be elected in August, if the people can only have a fair count. This, and al other counties in the Black licit, are overwhelmingly against the Demo cratic party by more than three to one yet I am told on all sides by most respectable authority that you uni formly count out by fraud the men who are honestly chosen, and install in office the candidates who arc con fessedly defeated. This is tho end of all free government. If you atrike down a free ballot in Alabama, you strike it down in Iowa. You elect men to Congress here by fraud, nnd they make laws for Iowa and New York and every other State In the Union as well as for Alabama. Landers, the Democratic candi date for Governor of Indiana, is, if possible.more unpopular than English the Democratic candidate for Vice President. The New Albany Zrclgcr, the leading Democratic journal in the southern part of the State, calls loudly for a change in the head of the ticket. In a recent issue it asked, "Why not bounce Landers from the ticket? He will probably get bounced very high by Torter in October." The state of feeling in the Bourbon camp may be judged from iho fact that Hon. Wil liam Fleming, a Democratic State officer, predicts that Indiana will go llebublican by 10,000 to 12,000 majority. About half of the Democrats repudiate English and the other half Landers. It now looks us though the October defeat will leave hardly a corporal's guard to rally around the Hancock standard in No vember. Private letters to Washington from Alabama Republicans say the whole northern tier of counties is claimed, and apparently witli good reason, by the Greenbackers. Iu the Black Belt, which is the Republican stronghold, and in which several 'counties give large Republican ma jorities, only two were permitted, at the last election to have their ballot fairly counted. There are indications that the Democratic counting machin ery will be applied to these counties, are at least to one of them, on Mon. day. The canvassing of the vole, it will be remembered, has been laken out of the hands of the local author ities and vested in a Board, the mem bers of which are apioiutd by the Governor. The object of this law was almost uudisguisedly to enable the DemocraU to overcome Republican majorities by means of fraudulent counting. y4 Made Himself. McadvlUa Republican. You may search the history of James A, Garfield, from a barefooted boy to a member of Congress with the doors of both Senate and White House opened and inviting him in, and you cannot find on his whole public career the stamp U. 8. There are American citi zens who have been cradled In luxury and, when weaned, handed over to the tutelage and expense of the United States; who never had a necessary anxiety for the future, but whose road has beeu carpeted with government brussels from the cradle to age. Gen eral Garfield is not one of those men. Thrown on his own resources when a boy, with nothing to live upon but his own labor, without a father, with Ids mother in straitened circumstances, with nothing but hard muscle, Amer ican courage, a large head and an honest heart, he set about making a man of himself. It was no small labor. There was no government salary voted him, no clothing and subsistence; no nice uniforms and burnished buttons, with U.S. on Ihom. These would not have looked well on the boy, sitting on a sheep skin, astride a canal nude, or holding (lie tiller, or at the carpenter's bench, But young Garfield kept on making himself, (while the United States was busy making another man), and he did it all himself. From the canal buy, through the various stages of carpenter, teacher, student, professor, attor ney at law, volunteer soidier, hero on the battle field the long and spotless career of congress man, the U. S. Senator elect and the Republican candidate for Presi dent, we see the career of a man who made himself, and who did a job he need not be ashamed of. Tho career of James A. Garfield is of value to the American people. Like that of Abra ham Lincoln, it gives hope and courage to boys and young men and invites them to earnest ellorts in their own advancement. Such men make other men than themselves, and their example will not be lo;t In all future time. In the light of such self-made greatness, the nations of the old world look at us with astonishment. Hope is kindled in tho heart of down-trodden humanity all over the world. The more the life and character of this man are studied, the more will he be endeared to the hearts of the people, the more clearly will they see in him the proper custodian of the nation's honor, and the more certainly will they entrust him with it. He made himself and we challengeacomparison with any sample ever turned out at the public works at West Point. Hancock's Saluting Match. Editor 2f. Y. Tribune. Sir: A citizen of Frankford, Ky., formerly a sergeant in the Regular Army, told us a few nights ago tlte following story of Hancock's army life, which illustrates a trait of his character with which more than one private soldier in the late war was fa miliar: "I was stationed before the war," he began, "at Fort Leaveuworth, and was on detached duty as orderly at the headquarters of General A J. Smith. General Hancock was also stationed at that post, being a captain in the (it H United States Infantry under Harney. My duty required my constant atten dance about headquarters, and generally I loitered in the little yard in front of the building used by Gen. Smith, which was directly upon tho street. Army officers frequently passed by, and one day Captain Han cock, who was noted among the private soldiers for Ids pompous, arro gant and tyrannical bearing, came along the road in front of headquarters. "As required by army regulations, I drew myself up iu proper position nnd made the customary military sa lute. He paid no more attention to me or my salute than if I had not been there at all, and went on his way. Later in the day lie returnc 1, and as he passed by feeling somewl tit nettled by bis treatment of me 1 dicii't saline him. He had passed mo a few steps when he turned and said, in a savage wav, "Oidirly, do vou know vour duty?" "I think I know it," I replied. "Then, sir, why didn't you salute me as I passed'.''' I told him I didn't ten der the salute because ho failed, as duty required, to return my salute when he first came by. We had some other words, when General Sniiih, who, it seems, was in the second story of the house and had overheard our conversation, poked his head out of the window above us, and peremptorily cried out, "Orderly!" "Yes sir." "Vou will puce that (thescntinel's) beat for half an hour anil salute, Captain Han cock will keen his position and return your salute." "And there'' said the ex-soldier, "I was kept by 'Old A. J.' pacing the beat for half'au hour, sa luting Hancock every time I passed, and he had to stand there and return my salute. And that, "said the vete ran to a Democrat, who stood by lis tening to the conversation, "is your candidate for the next President. Ho is good enough and a nice man among officers, but he hasn't any use for the private soldier, unless lie has changed his coat very much since I was in the Army." Frankford, Ky., July 10, 180. x. Somo time ago a statement was made of the recommendations which have been made at times to Congress to make provision for prompt payment of the bounties and back pay due to discharged volunteer veterans whose claims are in process of settlement by the Second Auditor. Coder the pres ent arrangement these men ure com pelled to wait for their pay from eight to eighteen months after their claims are audited, in addition to the fifteen years which have elapsed since the claims accrued, the responsibility be ing entirely due to the refusal of the DemocraU in Congress to provide for them. The claims ure being audited at the ralo of about iio.tioo per an num. These facts have now been embodied in a paper prepared by the Republican Congressional Committee, which will be circulated as a campaign document an soon as it can be printed. The whole showing is a complete refuta tion of the Democratic claim of friend liucs to the soldiers. Repudiation or the Right Kind. New Albany, Ind., does not seem to bea heallhy place for Hancock anu English Democrats. A few days ago nine prominent DemocraU joined a Garfield and Arthur club. At a meet ing of another Garfield and Arthur club, three nights after, six more well known Democrats and a prominent Greebacker, who was a delegate to tho Greeback National Convention, made application to be admitted as mem bers. One of the Democrats lost a leg In the rebel army. Ho said he was tired of a party that got the South Into trouble,. and that he did not caro to support a man who tried to rekindle the embers of civil war just lo please Andy Johnson after the rebel armies had surrendered, and tho South was willing to abide the decision and re turn lo peaceful pursuits. From all parts of the country thinking men arc realizing tho hollowness of Demo cratic pretenses and the true character of a decoy in which Hancock appears. Even Springer, tho leading Demo cratic Congressman of Illinois real I .cm the position his party Is In and scowls horribly and holds bis nosu ,vir the dish served tip for hint. 1 11 a speech I lie ot Iter 1 1 i ii 1 1 1 he said: " The President of the United Slale-i should be a man who Knows all nlmiil civil all'alrs, who knows the ivgulii lions of I he various doiiarl meiits, Iho management of t he Judiciary, IimiWIii live anil eoculic depart iin-iili; Ihe Iteparl nl of Stale, which deals wild lord mi eon ut rles;l lie I'lviisury I part men I, with lliemllllonsol treasurer: Willi civil service, W illi the j'.ieal and rapidly growing commerce of Hie land, 'thereby bringing Ihe giviilexl happiness o our people. I, Ibeleloie, thought Ihe best interest of Ihe people demand a man who win experienced i n civil nll'airs, and when our conven t ion at Cincinnati nomiholcd n purely military man, 1 must confess to you, mv friends, I thought it would have been bettor to nouiiuatooue with some civil experience." There is bitterness in these utter ances lie reali.es how James A. Garfield, scholar, patriotic volunteer soldier, statesman of twenty years' ox- perancc in the nll'airs of the nation, towers in intellect a. id experience above the reirular armv officer who has spent -III years iu camp. Between tho lines it is easy to read howgrlv ously he is disappointed and that noth ing but loyally to his party prevents him from udvocatinu the election of Garfield, whom he knows to bo best qualified in every sense for the posi tion. From Georgia, that Democratic Gibraltar, as it is called. Hon. Win. II. Felton, o strong Democrat who re persented the Seventh district in Con- irress. in a sneech the other night at Marietta said: "I know General Garfield personally have beeu on the same committee with him, and lie is a gentleman of good morals, social, clever, and bus a grand intellect, intellectually he has no superior in the House. He is a good man, has a mind of inexhausta ble resources and I have not a word to sav to detract from his integrity." Dr. Felton Is a. loyal Southern Dem ocrat, and will probably take the dose prescribed by the party leaders. Hut what words could he utter that would show plainer than theso that he con siders Garfield far better qualified tor the Presidency than Hancock? Judge Gorton, a life-long Wisconsin Democrat, is out in a letter iu which he says: "It is unwise for the people to place the country at thistime in the hands of a party s'plit by repudiation schemes and controiicu ny tne souin. wiuu ever it may have been in the past, it is to-day absolutely and essentially the party of tne woutn lis recoru m Congress during the past lour years has iustlv excited the suspicion ot Northern men. Neither the national credit, nor the national treasury, nor the rijrht to a free and fair ballot, will be sale in the haiid-ttf the Democratic party." W I hose are Mgniliccnt notes that au- irur an overthrow of the Democrats in their present masquerade, as complete as when thev bowed down to Horace Greeley, their ancient and implacable foe. They come from all parts of the country and clearly show a deep seated connection in the minds of the people of the eminent fitness of Gen eral Garfield and of the great and ut terly unwarranted risk in trusting the Democratic parly with power in nat ional tfouornment. The Bloody Shirt. Gen. John Ileatty opened the Ohio campaign at Columbus on Saturday night in a powerful speech, in which lie said. "Of course, it will be said that 1 am wavimr the bloody shirt. So? It is the costliest banner that ever greeted the public eye. It was colored ami en riched by the blood of heroes. It sug irests the innumerable sacrifice made by the nation for personal freedom and political equality. It suggests memories of tender partings at the homestead, days of marching, nights of vigil und fury of buttle. It sug irests tho sudden clasp of fraternal bunds on the field: the solemii fare well; the last prayer to God; the hur riedly-made grave ami the missing man at roll-call. Under this flag we shall coiiouer. The time may come, indeed, when we shall fold it up ten derlv and lav it away with care; but it is not now. It will never bo until the Democratic party, saturated as it is witli treason, ulcerated and rotten to the very core, shall by the popular verdict, bo pronounced dead and damned. Its record is a catalogue of crimes. lis existence is a menace to good government and so long as it lifts its brutal head to the sunshine it will be the duty of just men to strike.

A private soldier of Hancock's corps, at Green ville, Pa., having been requested to organize a Hancock Club, responded as follows : ' St. Clair A. Millholland, 84 15 Walnut Street, Philadelphia: Dear Sir Yours of the 15th Inst, at hand asking for my "co-opera tion und assistance," with a view to organizing a ''Hancock Club" in this lace. I am compelled to state that thorn has been a "club" already formed In the town immediately after news from Chicago WM received. It was organized though as a "Gar field" Club, and all old soldiers of ihls lace, with one or two exceptions, be long to It. I was In Hancock's corps (the !M) and served from Atigusf llih, M-i, null! May lllnl, and have an lioiionuiic discharge nut ai. mis late don't propose to have my share of 1 1 1 ; I 1 1 1 1 k go for miugbl. It Is not I laucock personally llnil.

Von also say It Is appropriate (hat Iho "cleat soldier of Gettysburg, who kIu iI bl blood upon our soil In do- rii'io of hla native slal.c, should re live our support." Very true; still thousands morn hcsldc Hancock "shod Ihelr hi I" and, I doiihl nut. many roaler I ho ii he. As I said before, I am sorry I hat. I an gather no material vole of soldiers ii I his place on) of which lo organize i "llaiieoeU Club" They I ruin iu I lie other crowd. There arc several hero who me loud-moiit lied Hancock men (not soldiers) some of whom dur ing the war called Hancock's corps Lincoln's hirelings," and who, when Iho draft was about lo be made Hkippcd for Canada. And there are others who said of inc. when in Andersonvillc prison pen, (hat I ought to starve to death." Can I so far forget myself as lo vote for Mio parly which tried for four long years lo dissolve our Union ? No! Hancock is good as a general, but lie travels with a very bad crowd. If I live until fall I shall vote as I shot.' Respectfully yours, A. A. Yeakel. The Washington (itinthiy llcrahl continues to be disturbed over the management of sundry Democratic papers, and publishes the following sharp paragraph on the subject yester day: "The fact that Mr. Secretary Schurz supports Garliehl is no excuse for assailing his military record. It Is at least unfair at this late day to nt- tribute to deceased officers like Hooker Thomas and McPherson disparaging remarks about General Schurzwithout furnishing the authority upon which such statements are made. And even if McPherson did say that he would prefer generals who had already served under him to Schurz, who had not, and if Thomas did say, 'I don't want him,' such remarks prove nothing. because neither of the generals had any means of knowlngSchurz's merits and would naturally prefer some one whose ability had been proved under their own eyes. We would suggest to the cotemporarios who are raising such irrelevant side Issues as this that the Democracy seems at this time to be more in need of brains tlian of facts. The report is again current and is believed by many Republicans in New York city that Senator Conklin will soon enter upon a Western cam paigning tour, and that he has already signaled his intention ot speaiung in Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, hicagn and Keokuk, Iowa.

Are now putting on the market a Plow that Is as much superior to any Plow horetolora made as the Plows of the past tew years have been superior to those made half a century ago. It combines all tho excoUoncles of any Plow tn use. It obviates all the objections made to any built now. In addition It embraces several new features of the greatest value, for which wo have ob tained exclusive Patents. Its Deam.Clcvis, Jointer Standard and Wheel BfAndard will be STEEL, and lis mold board will be a composition of Steel and Iron chilled under a process for which wo have also obtained an exclusive Patent. It will be colled THE SYRACUSE CHILLED STEEL PLOW Its weight win be eighteen pounds less than our present styles. A llfHt-clnHs steel Plow, mado In tho or dinary way, full rlKgcO, retails for twenty-two dollars. Inferior Steel Plows retail from six teen to nineteen dollars. Tho prico of our now now will be but Seventeen Dollar, nnd it will bo tho cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold. Its mold board will outwear three of tho very bent kinds ot tho ordinary steel mold boards. It will scour In soils where all steel plows and all other plows have hitherto proved a failure. With this Plow will be Introduced a corru gated Plow Point and Jointer Point, on which we have also obtained a Patent, and which is also a great Improvement, both as regards strength, and wear. Tho Jointer can bo shifted so as to taka more or less land, and also more or less pitch, and It can always be kept on a lino with the Plow. The wheel will run under the beam or ono side of it as desired, and alwayB kept In line. Tho beam is adjustable for Spring or Fall Plowing, and also for two or three horses. Tho handles can bo adjusted to accommo date 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. Malleablo beams becomo demoralized and bend, which is much worse than to break. A Steel beam is tho necessity of the day. It Is three tunes as strong and very much lighter than any other stylo. When we say a Mold board Is chilled, the farmers know It Is so. We do not palm off on them a composition of various metals and call It chilled mebiL We want agents for this new Plow in every town in this suite. We can give but a very small discount to them, but we will pay the Railroad Freight. We propose to place this Plow In the hands of Farmers as near the cost of manufacture as possible. It will be the best Agricultural Implement ever sold. It shall also be the cheapest Persons therefore who are 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. All sales absolute. rwThls Is tho only steel chilled Plow In the World. Steel costs several times more than Iron. But this Plow, full rigged, by giving small discounts, can be sold for Seventeen Dollars. Compare this price with that of any Iron Plow ever made. It Is cheaper than any other Plow now made would be at five dollars and a half. Where there are no agents we will, on re ceipt of Seventeen Dollars, send a Plow to any Railroad station In the State and pay the freight. Address, 8YRACU8E CHILLED PLOW CO. c Syraouae, N.Y.
