For Vino President,

HENRY GREEN,

For Audilo'r General,

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.

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.

mait private's views of gen
eral HANCOCK'S CANKIDACY.
Philadelphia, July 28. 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. I object lo
ml II In the parly Hull, nominated
him.
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.

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,

from a thirty years' successful practice
that the alarming consequences of
self-abuse may be radically cured
without the dangerous use of internal
medicine or the application of the
knife; pointing out a mode of cure at

means of which every sufferer, no
