There was no relapse on Saturday,

the alarming symptoms subsided and
so marked has the improvement been
that the Cabinet have deemed it safe
for them to take a little trip, and
they have gone to the White Moun

iireat encouragement is taken from
the fact that the two latest relapses
of the President have been scarcely
noticeable.

The Harrisburg Telegraph 6ays :
Those who profess such feeling on the
subject of Hartmann, the Nihilist,
would do well to reverse the matter
for a moment, and suppose that Gui
teau had escaped to Russia, after his
assault on President Garfield. What
would the American people have said
under the circumstances, if the Rus
sian Government had refused to give
up the assassin ? Let us think about
it for a little while.
A guabu at the Washington jail,
seeing the murderer Guiteau loot out
of a window, leveled his gun and fired
at the assassin. The bullet from the
gun grazed the scoundrel's head. The
guard was arrested : but what to do
with him is a question, for he unmis
takably has the sympathy of the pub
lic as against the assassin. The
guards name is Mason. The shot
greatly frightened the murderer, Gui
teau, and he now prays to the Lord
for mercy anil protection. Guiteau
will probably be put in a cell from
which he cannot be seen to be shot at

business between Washington and
New York in consequence of the
President's removal to Long Branch,
which was regarded by the company
as a public matter of the highest
national importance. Vice President
Cassatt, who Lad entire supervision
of the journey so far a3 the railroad
was concerned, took as deep a per

cord with the administration of PresNfcut
Garfield, ami while uniting in the prayer ol
II good lxiople for bin speedy recovery.
pledges continued fealty and the niost active
support in the prompt and conrageau cor
rection of all governmental abuses. As He-
publicans we are in favor of any proper and
well-considered reform, either in the gov
ernment of the Nation, the State, munici
pality or county ; and we court suggestions
to any or all of these ends, and only ask
that in their advocacy well-established safe
guards shall not be hastily aupplaated by
experinients. The administration of presi
dent Garfield has set tub right example in
this direction, and while firmly adhering to
the principles and better practices ol the
great party which called it into existence,
it yet insists upon faithfulness and honesty
in every branch of the public service. The
bullet of an assassin should interrupt this
work. It should be pursued while its au
thor lives, and beyond his life, if through
increasing misfortune, it should be taken
away.
2. Rctolted, The Republican party has
ever been progressive and reformatory, aud
while realizing that nothing in government
is boll r right, we desire it to be always
brave enough to seek every avenue of ap
proach to the right, to the end that all our
people may ever-increasing blessings of
good government.
3. Rcsolred, That to President James A.
Gariii ld, this tender and loving, this strug
gling aud suffering, this pure and brave nian,
now becomes the beloved of this people and
the admired of all peoples, we tender for
ourselves and our constituents assurances
of deep and heartfelt sympathy ; and keen
ly appreciating the value of such a life to
his country we express the prayerf ul hope
that he may soon be restored to the dis
cbarge of the important duties for which he
is remarkably qualified, and from which by
a peculiarly infamous crime and in unde
served assault upon whom for a conscien
tious exercise of proper Executive power,
he has been temporarily withdrawn.
4. Rcsolred, That in State, as in Nation,
the Republican party is committed to the
course of economical and honest adminis
tration. We demand the use of all neces
sary means and the enforcement of all laws
intended to prevent fraud and waste, and
and we require a close and watchful guar
dianship over all the multifarious interests
committed to the care of our organisation.
5. Rcsolred, That in any revision of oar
tariff legislation which may be made, care
shall be taken to discriminate in favor of
our industries and thereby to promote, the
causes which are rapidly making America a
controlling power in finances as it already
is an established leader in political thought.
t. Rcsolred, That the administration of
Governor Uoyt merits our warmest approv
al. We regard with satisfaction the results
of a purely Republican Administration un
der his leadership, in which all departments
have been faithfully conducted, the credit
of the State raised to the highest point, and
its finances placed upon a proper basis w ith
out increasing the burdens of the people.
H. A. Stambaugh was appointed as

mittee fcv Juniata.
The Republican State Convention
had scarcely competed its nomina
tion of General Bailey fr State
Treasurer, till Claries S. Wolfe, of
Lewisburg, Union county, announced
himself ns an independent candidate
in the following card :
To the Editor of the Timet : Tho black
Hag has been raised against tbe Independent
Republicans ol Pennsylvania. Please an
nounce that on my own responsibility I am
an independent Republican candidate for
Hate Treasurer, in lull sympathy with the
Administration and against the rule of the
bosses. I will stump the btate and give my
reasons for this action.
Chables S. WOLf c.
LEwissrsa, Pa., Sept. I. Jl
Mr. Bailey was nominated by a fair
contest over Jir. Davies as competi
tor, aud it cannot be urged against
the nominee that he employed sharp
or unfair tactics to secure his nomi
nation. As far as can be ascertained
at this writing Wolfe's objection to
iailey is because of the men that
have been putting him forward.
Whether the fact that Senator Cam
eron and his friends favored Bailey
is sufficient cause for the course of
Wolfe is a question that will be con
sidered between this time and elec
tion day by Republican voters.
Mr. Wolfe became quite famous
two winters ago when the effort was
made to pass the bill of $4,000,000
to pay the Pittsburg riot damages.
If he had then been placed betore
the people of the Commonwealth for
an elective office, a very large vote
would have been polled for him, for
tho very large majority of the people
of the State were opposed to the
passage of the riot damage act, not
because the people dislike Pittsburg,
or other places, or any conxiration or
company that suffered by riotous act,
but because they believe that it is
fundamentally wrong for a State to
pay money damage for the riot acts
of bad men. If Wolfe still retains
the favor of the people that gave him
their moral support when he battled
in the Legislature against the $4,
000,000 Riot Damase Act he will be
a dangerous element as "an4ndepen
dent candidate. If he Las forfaited
the favor thus won by his advocacy,
last winter of the fifteen hundred
dollar salaiv chiuse as against the
opinion of Attorney General Palmer,
that a Legislature is entitled to only
one thousand dollars per session, let
the session be long or short, then he
is done for and can poll few votes.
DROCGIIT MOTES.
Information from Michiiran last
Wednesday the 7th inst., says: The
village of Diclerville, on the Port
Huron and Northwestern Railway, is
totally consumed. Anderson station
is partly burned. Port Hope is near
ly all burned. Verona Mills, in Hu
ron county, are ull destroyed but the
church and a store. Bod Axe is all
gone but the court house and the
hotel Sandusky is totally destroy
ed, as is Kichmondville. The fire is
raging in the wee tern part of Forts
ville, and the people are all moving
to the lake shore. In Watertown
township two entire families have
been burned to death. George Ayrea
Hart aud his wife, grandmother, two
children and a grandchild have been
burned to death. It is so densely
dark and smoky as to render breath
ing troublesome aud cause harm to
the eyes. Lamps are kept constant
ly burning. It is impossible to learn
the full extent of the terrible calam
ity, as there is no mail and the tele
graph wires are burned down from
Forrester to Point Crescent. Re
ports from northern and northeastern
portions of tha State show a terrible
condition of w'aira. The long-continued
drought has burned every
thing as dry as tinder, and numerous
"na-shirg" or partly clear tracks of
land covered with brush, dried tim
ber and other infiamm.tble material
afford the best possible medium for
the rapid spread of flames curried by
the high winds which have prevailed.
Sanilac tand Huron counties, lying on
the shore of Like Huron, between
Pork Huron and Saginaw Bay, are
the scenes of the greatest destruc
tion, which is growing positively ap
pallin": in character. Hundreds of
farui3 have already been reduced to
blackened aehes. Stock, crops, arm
buildings) and fences all have been
swept away. Ilea, women and chil-
dien have been overtaken by the
flames, and several lives are known to
have been lost It is feared when
full accounts are received that the
loss of life will prove terrible. In
Tuscola county, in the next tier of
counties back from Lake Huron and
south of Saginaw, fires also rage, but
with less severity. The losses there
are overshadowed by the more terri
ble condition of things in the adjoin
ing comities. The same state of af
fau-3 exist in Lapeer county, next
south of Tuscola, and the whole
country around Saginaw and Bay
City is ablaze, from the marshes
taking fire. Reports of many losses
of farmers are beginning to reach
here.
Details from the fire-swept district
is shocking rending. The skill and
courage of men were powerless to
stay the wave of fire and smoke. A
part of the unfortunate district was
visited by rain on Wednesday night,
which put ol the hie. In many
places charred human bodies are
found. One man, a citizen of White
Rock, says that he saw 116 burned
bodies. "At one place he saw four
wagons bearing eiht coffins, with one
man walking behind all alone. It was
his family. Another man was follow
ing three coffins. Every farmer lost
some crops and fences. The loss of
life "is estimate 1 at 20(1 to 30!. The
lowest estimates indicate shut 215
families have been burned out in the
towns of Marette, Flynn, Argyle,
Evergreen, Moore, Lamotte and El
mer, in Sanilac county."
The severe drought of tbe present
summer has caused 'he squirrels, which
exist in immense numbers in Arkansas
to attack the cotten crop. In tbe
absenoe of corn and nuts these little
animals open the cotton bolls, eat the
seed and scatter the eotton over the
ground. This causes great quantities
of tbe fleecy staple to be wasted.
In the northern and western counties
many new wells have beeo sunk for wa
ter, because of tbe failure of old ones.

miles east of Independence and four
teen miles from Kansas City, at nine
o'clock last night The express car
was broken open, and Messenger Fox
was so terribly beaten that he cannot
live, because he refused to give up
the key to the safe. The amount
taken is not known, but is estimated
from $5,000 to $20,000. After going
through the express car, all the pas
sengers were robbed of mouey and
watches, amounting to several thou
sand dollars. The robbers were
heavily armed, and kept np a contin
ual firing cf pistols to intimidate the
passengers. Several shots were fired
at Conductor Hazlebaker, but he es
caped unhurt The whole all'air oc
cupied less than fifteen miuutes, and
was done very systematically. After
securing the booty the whole party
rode off into the woods. The spot
selected for the bold deed is in a

by a red lantern and obstructions on
the track. The train ran into Kansas

PATTERSON.
COUNTY TREASURER.
Editor Sentinel and Republicans Sir, It is
a well recognized fact everywhere that the
office of County Treasurer is an important
office. Juniata county cannot be an excep
tion, for there are no exceptions. On two
occasions in the past, i!r. Jacob Lemon, ot
Patterson, came within a few votes of be
ing elected to office. He is not among the
class denominated as ' office-seekers."
His friends desire that be again be placed
as a candidate for the nomination ol Connty
Treasurer, at tbe Republican Primary elec
tion to be beld Saturday, September 24th
inst., believing that if he again becomes the
standard bearer, he will be elected by the
people at the general election in November.
