The Democratic newspapers are
already slinging mud at General
Garfield.
Sexatok Conklin says that he
has no doubt that the ticket will
sweep New York, and that he will
do his utmost for it.
The most blatant Garfield un
now, are those pruned Republic
ans who proposed to bolt, or as the
Vsr York Tribute phrased it "take
to the woods ' if General Grant was
nominated.
The Chicago Convention has fol
lowed sundry familiar precedents in
failing to select the strongest of the
candidates presented to it Rut
from the second rank of available
Republicans it has made a very ex
cellent choice,, and one which has
the great merit of uniting all sections
of the party for a harmonious, ag
gressive, and probably successful
campaign. James A. Garfield lias
been too Ions in public life to have
jeseaied injurious allegations against
j his jiersonal character and bitter at

he is strong in his freedom from in-

somewhat cooled our ardor, and the
blood no longer leans through our
veins as in youth, we will le found
where duty calls, in the thickest of
the coming fray, struggling for Re
publican principles.
In choosing for its candidate a
gentleman whose name had been
rarely mentioned in connection with
the nominati. n, the convention by
no means selected one who is ol
scure or untried. Mr. Garfield has
long been known to the American
leoplo, and has made for himself si
name and a fame of which any man
might Will lc proud. He is a sol
dier, a scholar nd a statesman, and
wears well-won laurels gathered in
the camp and in council. He posess
es all the elements of great iopular
strength. He has the cool, constant
steadfastness of Grant, the magnet
ism and oratorical ability of Blaine,
the consistent financial integrity of
Sherman, and he has beside the ad-
i vantage ot a line military rccoru mat,

It has always given me pleasure

for Vice President.
Ix 1K7C Senator Rlaine started
the Cincinnati Convention with 285
votes. At the Chicago Convention
he started with 2S4, and but twice
in all the ballotting did it reach 2S5.
His friends are steadfast, but do not
grow in numlnrs.
TiiEjsame two States never before
received two nominations in suc
cession of two different men for the
offices f President and Vice Presi
dent New York and Ohio' are thus
honored by the Republican party.
And the younger and lesser State in
population and wealth gets the
higlier honor.
It is a singular fact that of the
three New York Republicans whom
the administration removed from
office in 1S7S for not yielding full
oledience to the civil service reform
rules, one has leen made Governor
of the State, another Speaker of the
House of Representatives, and the
third has been nominated as the
Republican candidate for Vice President.
The convention is over, and the
contest for nominations is a thing of
the past. We therefore appeal to
. j our brethren to let all past bitter
m ; ,
. . lieSS illlll till V iUUIllllMlll'S VHftCimi'I-
ed by the canvass be buried with
the rubbish ofthe convention.
We know from our own experi
ence how natural it is to feel sore
over the defeat of a favorite candi
date, as we know also how in the
heat of a struggle methods will often
be resorted to, that calmer judgment
will not approve. But good sense
and sound policy equally condemn
all further discussion of these mat
ters at the present time. As the old
adage hath it, "there is no ' good in
crying over spilled milk." All the
power and all the energies of every
Republican are needed to elect the
ticket just nominated, and he is
neither a loyal partisan, nor a sensi
ble man who will take a course cal
culated to create or promote discord
in the ranks. In the campaign now
opening there is going to be no child's
play, we need every vote that can Ijc

The Republican party needs no
better platform for thif campaign
than the magnificent . record it has
made for itself since 1S5G. Emanci
pation, the preservation of the Union,
reconstruction, the reduction of the
principal and interest of the public
debt, and the resumption of specie
payments, are evidences of its wis
dom and ability to wisely administer
the government.
Never before in the history ofthe
Republican party was a delegate to
the National Convention named as
the candidate of the party. In this
particular the late convention is
without precedent General Gar

the particulars of a terrible tornado
that swept through the southeastern
part of Pottawattamie county last
evening. The cyclone or tornado is
described by eye witnesses as some
thing terrible. The storm of wind
clouds were first observed forming
loth east and west of Wheeler's
Grove, the point where the most de
struction occurred, and in a short
time came together. The cloud
which was conical in shae, came to
the ground near the grove, traveling
eastward. The track of the storm
was about half a mile in width and
swept everything lufore it, demolish
ing form houses, barns and other
buildings and carrying some of them
Ixxlily lor hundreds of feet, then
dashing them to the ground in
1ieces. At one place a farmer's
louse, surrounded by a frail fence,
was picked up and then dashed to
pieces in the yard, leaving every
board of the fence remain in its
place. There were from fifteen to
twenty persons killed outright and
many were wounded. Those known
to have leen killed were Jesse Asler,
wife and twochildren, William Pace,
wife and his two children ; killed
and another child fatally wounded ;
Alex. Osier, wife and child were car
ried in the air almost a hundred and
fifty feet and seriously wounded,
child fatally ; a hired man employed
by the latter, name unknown, killed.
Other persons, six or eight in num
ber, were carried away and not yet
found.
After the storm the scene is de
scribed as heart rending. Parents
were looking for their children, hus
bands for their waves, and wives for
their husbands. Not a house in the
track ofthe tornado was left stand
ing, and there could not be found
pieces enough of some to start a fire
with, the storm did not last fifteen
if we ashes all the houses on J.rccu street.
The Roberts Hotel, close to the
bridge, had not burned up until sev
en o'clock, but several inferior build
ings below were consumed. The
Franklin street bridge and the rail
road bridge below has hitherto leen
saved by great exertions. Frank
lin street and Washington and Per
ry are full of drays and furniture
from the houses emptied by the pan
ic stricken tenants. A southwest
wind would threaten the Oil Creek
railroad depot, and the machine
shops and the Mrnint lb add block.
Rut little apprehension is felt of
such a catastrophe at present unless
the wind should take an unfavorable
turn. The fire departments ofCor
ry, Warren and Oil City are here.
There is plenty of water and the
men are working like heroes, and are
refreshed and relieved from time to
time. The refining business is the
principal prop of our home industry,
offering employment to thousands,
and the calamity is therefore a se
vere one, and felt by all the business
and laboring classes.
