National Republican TicM !
1 SBO.
For President,
JAMES A. GARFIELD,
Of Ohio.
For Vice-President.
CHESTER A. ARTHUR,
Of New Tork.
Garfield is not a dark liorse more
on the sorrel order.
James W. Dawes is the National
Committeeman from Nebraska for the
next four years.
The Nebraska delegation was a good
on to stick, no mistake, and they an
swered roll-call splendidly.
If any man says Ohio is not the dad
dy of all Presidents, "shoot him on the
spot!" John A. yes.
Just wait till we get time to tell
you all about George Smith's friend
from Knox County, who ate all our
fish up.
Oh ; what a jam, what a crowd ! The
squeeze up and down those Palmer
House stairs will never be forgotten
by the boys that weat to the front."
Judge Gaslin, delegate from the
sixth district, did not pui in an appear
ance, and "Vic" Bierbower. the altern
ate, did all the Judge's voting in this
ease.
Tickets sold for 815 frequently, some
for $25 and even more. One Alabama
colored gentleman was said to have
sold himself clean out one day and he
took a recess for that session.
The Catholic Convent, in process of
erection, in Omaha, was badly damag
ed by the wind storm of a week or two
ago, and Saturday night's storm level
ed the again rising walls with the
ground. Loss, some $5,000.
Theke were at least 500 Nebraskans
at Chicago besides the delegates. They
all wanted tickets and the poor devils
on deck had only 50 to go round; nev
ertheless by swapping, &c, nearly
every one got to see how the Conven
tion looked.
Dr. Miller, editor ef the Herald, said:
I concede that the nomination of Gar
field is a respectable one, and in some
respects a strong one. Garfield is a
man of marked ability, and is a fair
man. Republican.
He'll call him "De Gollyer Garfield"
all the same, though, when he gets
mad.
The enterprise and accommodation
of the telegraph companies, yi furnish
ing all along their lines complete re
turns from tht convention, cannot be
tee highly commended. In Omaha the
Am.Union placed their bulletins in the
plate glass windows, written in char
coal, in a large round hand, and in the
evening a headlight illuminated them
se they were visible across the street.
Garfield allowed great good sense
throughout and real honest modesty,
something se unusual nowadays in a
politician, that we begin to feel that
we must tie to him strong. In the
great Convention of 1800, the old war
horses, Thurlow Weed and other), who
came there for Seward." felt greatly
disappointed at the nomination of
Lincoln, but lived to thank the day
that a "better man" than their candi
date was nominated. Who knows but
that Garfield may be our salvation af
ter all.
The Herald's prediction came
true, and its judgment was sustained
throughout. Grant was the stronger
candidate and Blaine did not get nom
inated, mor could he have been by any
combination possible to effect.
Not having shouted ourself hoarse
for Blaine, nor made a fool of . ourself
by underrating aad sneering at Grant,
Conkling or Logan, (without whose
help we cannot elect anv man) we are
in good shape to welcome and support
Garfield, who is our nominee from this
time forth.

some cattle.
A Fatal Shot.
The following received from Mr. J.
Vance Lewis will explain itself:
We were called here on last Friday
by a telegram informing us f the
death of David O. Shoopman. Mr.
Sheoproan rented his farm in Cass and
came here with his family about two
weeks ago prospecting for school land,
or other land near town.

arid by soiap means the gnn slid back
and went off discharging theload in
his side and lungs. He died In about
a half hour and was buried here to-day.
Mr. Shoopraan was a brother-in-law
of Mr. J. Vance Lewis and of Wesley
Montgomery, recently of Plattsmouth.
He had been for some years a resident
of Cass County, and in t'is sudden ac
cident resulting in death, his family
will have the sympathy of many

Our Candidate.
"He cornea from the bank ef the pleasant
Ohio,
Where the women knit and sew, and the men

Reap all the rewards and mow down
all opposition, we suppose; we'll elect
him. , "' -.
The Convention.
The great Convention of 1880 is
over. It wa3 the' largest, the most im
portant, and tke most hotly contested
f any ever held in the Republican par
tv. Its results are the most momen
tous to the Country and tho world.
On the results ef its action depends
the perpetuity of the' Republican par
ty and many think the safety of the
government itself.
It is not the outcome that many, we
may say the people, expected. It bad
been so repeatedly stated and re-echoed
through the land that no dark horses
would be allowed this time; the
country was tired of untried men;
it must have Grant or Blaine; that
most of us had accepted that ultima
tum, and when the nomination of Gar
field was telegraped over the land, it
came to those outside of the Conven
tion with a shock, and was no doubt a
surprise to many even in Chicago.
To us it had been lereshadowed for
hours before, and that it would bo im
possible to nominate either Grant or
Blaine had been our firm conviction
before the Convention met. When the
first ballot was taken," however, and
Grant had 304 votes (more than his
friends had claimed or hoped for, and
we saw in what solid phaianx the old
guard gathered around their hero, for
a few hours again it Seemed as if his
nomination must be a fact. As days
passed and ballots 'waned, i became
evident that some third man must be
decided upon, and in such a shape as
to leave as little soreness, as little de
moralization in the ranks as possible.
Gen. Garfield, of Ohio, had been very
popular with the Convention and the
spectators from the start. He had di
vided with Conkling tke plaudits of
the assemblage from the first; his
speech en the nomination of .Sherman
had gained him many friends, and on
Monday evening it began to be seen
that his name was the one name on
which the warring forces might unite
with a chance for success and anything
like fnture harmony of purpose. The
Ohio "idee" prevailed at last; and en
the 3Gth ballot, about 2:80 p. m Tues
day, June 8th, 1880, James A. Garfield
was duly nominated for President of
the United States by the great Repub
lican Convention.
before the convention.
Of the wonderful sight inside the
exposition building where a sea of
12,000 upturned faces met the aston
ished beholder, of the crowds in and
around the "Palmer House" and Grand
Pacific Hotel; of the Processions,
Bands, Speeches, and enthusiasm of
the Convention during the now ever
memorable seven days, our readers
will have heard, no doubt, from other
sources 'ere this paper can reach them.
It was immense. Urn ether Conven
tion ever held in this Country created
such commotion, none eeuld be more
vital to the interests of the people.
The cheapness of railroad fares, and
the advantages offered to western men
to see a National Convention, once,
caused multitudes to hasten to Chica
go. No correct estimate of the mass
es there has yet been given and we are
a poor guesser on such a crowd. Many
were, ef course, disappointed in ever
seeing inside the building, but yet
vast numbers of the throng did get in
for short seasons, by friends loaning
them tickets, and could go home proud
to tell that they at least had seen the
Great Convention. -insids
the arena.
It was a curious and interesting
scene; every now and then some vet
eran in politics would say "Twenty
years ago I saw Lincoln nominated
in the Wigwam in this City, but
there was no such crowd as this," thus
testifying to our great growth in.these
years, the feasibility of travel through
out the Union, and at the same time
calling to mind how rapidly the years
roll round since Lincoln was nomina
ted and elected, and how fast the men
who witnessed that scene are disap
pearing from our view forever.
the colored troops.
The colored members of the Conven
tion were a study to many. Their dark
animated faces, of all shades of color,
sprinkled through the various delega
tions, produced, as seen from the gal
lery, a very picturesque effect. Many
of them spoke from time to -time, and
generally did themselves credit, sever
al making eloquent' and practical
speeches. At the hotels they were sur
rounded by eager inquirers and ab
sorbed listeners, the novelty of hear
ing intelligent., well-dressed, and often
very gentlemanly colored men discuss
ing politics freely in the corridors ef
the first hotel in Chicago, and talking
about what "my state" would do, and
where "my delegation" would go. had
a fascination for listeners from all the
slates and countries there.

Grant leader, is very quiet, and did not
speak ouce; hit face and form, too, are
not easily distinguished in a crowd.
The Blaine leaders, Messrs. Frye,
Hale and Chandler, all very able men,
attracted a good deal of attention, but
they also were hard to pick out sn a
sea of the same type of faces.
Garfield, , the nominee, is a robust,
large-framed, large-faced man, who
was both seen and felt from the begin
ning of the Convention.
He divided the honors daily with
Conkling on their entrance, and the
facts are the Ohio delegation was for
him all the time.

That the break would be made Tues
day some time, was Known to a few on
Monday afternoon.
On the 35th ballot it was evident
the crash was close at hand. The agi
tation was tremendous. A tremor of
nervousness pervaded the whole as
semblage, and many a strong face pal
ed with uncontrollable emotion. Sev
eral states were "polled," and Garfield
had 50 votes." - -
S6Tn BALLOT.
Though understood before no doubt,
Connecticut was the first State in the
order called that changed her vote al
most solid giving 1 for Blaine and
11 for Garfield.
The spectators did not know as yet
whether this might not. be a mere
whim, a test, but when Illinois gave
7 of her votes to Garfield and Garfield
arose and declared that the use of
his name was unauthorized and he
was not a candidate, the situation be
came dramatic in the extreme. When
Garfield sat down Indiana was called
and responded:
"GARFIELD 29 VOTES."
Everybody knew the stampede had
come, one shout and every -voice was
hushed and every ear strained to
catch each state as thy sonorous voice
of the clerk resounded through the
vast amphitheatre. Even now an
outsider and perhaps but few delegates
knew whether it was meant to nomi
nate then and there; but as
WISCONSIN
Rolled out her "Garfield 20," which
made a majority, the very" roof leap
ed skyward with the roar of 10,000
throats and the iron cased windows
rattled as in the blast-of a hurricane,
the great gun outside belched forth its
iron acquiescense, the band struck up
"Rally round the flag," and everything
inside the building joined in the cho
rus. The Chairman sat down in despair.

IN THE EVENING
.
General Arthur was nominated with
much less uproar, but very haartily,
unanimously and great confidence that
our ticket with these two great Sol
diers, Statesmen and hard workers
would carry the day gloriously and by
a majority that will beundisputed.
Over 1,000 telegrams ef congratula
tion were received by Gen. Garfield
during the evening succeeding the
nomination. His rooms .were crowd
ed. ;
A reception by, Gen. Garfield and
Arthur was held in the evening, after
wards they were closeted . with Conk
ling for an hour..
Sherman and Blaine sent congratu
lations. ; .. . ,,
Gen. Manderson of Omaha says:
Garfield has been in public life for
over a quarter of century, and fer
twenty years he has been in congress.
His military record is brilliant. Early
in the war, while a colonel, he won bis
brigadier's commissio.i by a substan
tial victory over Humphrey Marshall
in Kentucky, and when nominated for
congress, he was en General Kosen
cran's staff, in the army of the Cum
berland. His nomination was made
without his knowledge, and was equiv
alent to election, the district being
largely republican. lie hesitated
sometime before accepting it. He
was electwd by an increased majority;
and has remained in congress ever
since. His election to the United
States senate was as complimentary,
in regard to being unsought, as was
his nomination to congress, and also
his nomination to the presidency yes
terday. While at Chicago I had hour
ly talks with his friends and Garfield
himself, and I kuow the nomination
was unsought, and that he did every
thing in his power. to prevent such a
result. .......
Ex-Senator Hitchcock, who graduat
ed at Williams college with Garfield in
1855, said: He suits me as well as man
possibly could next to Grant, who was
my choice long before Garfield was
thought of. I have known Garfield for
thirty years, and have been in congress
with him, and have always been - his
warm friend. I have got every confi
dence in him, and knew him to be a
statesman, a man of ability, and am
ply qualified to -fill the presidential
chair with honor and success.
Horn John C. Cowin. who is an Ohio
roan, said: I used to go to school to
Garfield.. He is emphatically a self-
made man an American in every
sense of the word. When hostilities
broke out between the north and the
south, he was the first to call a public
meeting and address the people upon
their duty.-At one time he ran away
from home and drove a team on a ca
nal tow-path ; he was afterward induc
ed to attend district school. He then
went to the Hiram Institute, where be
was at first regarded as a green, over
grown boy. But he soon took the lead.
He then went to Williams college and
there graduated. Upon his return he
was elected president of Hiram Instil
tute, and that's where I first met him.'
He went into the war as colonel of the
43d Ohio regiment. At the battle of
Stone River he was complimented in
special orders by Gen. Hancock for. his
gallant conduct.
General Chester A. Arthur, nominee
for vice president, is on of the fore
most Republicans in the great State of
New York, and as chairman of the re
publican State central committee, man
aged the recent campaign that result
ed in the election of Gov. Cornell. He
is a special friend of Senator Conkling.
Next week we expect to have a
handsome portrait ef our, candidates,
and will give their pedigree in full.
Hurrah fer Grant and Garfield, too
the only man that ever beat him in
war or peace.
Weeping Water Notes.
We have had several very heavy
rains since my last letter, which have
done good generally here, though we
are sorry to learn that they have done
much damage in other localities. The
storm on Sunday evening was much
the worst we have had here this sea
son, and yet it did no very serious dam
age. Everybody seems happy since the
rain9.
Business in town is rather dull. Sew
ell S. Reed has returned from the
West. The Weeping Water Mill has
stopped for repairs to machinery, and
to allow the completion, properly, of
the work on the dam.
Garfield has been treated all ever
town ahead)', and "much talk is cheap"
you know.
Are we to have a Fouith of July cel
ebration at W. W., or not ? That is the
all-absorbing question now.
News are scarce this week. More
anon. Trixt.
From Alton.
Afton, Neb, June 4. 1880.
Sinco writiug last we have had one
good rain and several sprinkles, and
less wind; therefore less complaint.
Crops look well, considering lateness
of season. Splendid prospect for wild
fruit. Times are more prosperous, as
is evidenced by wind mills soon to be
erected above us along the dry portion
of Deer Creek. Our nearest R.R.town
"Medicine," or, as the R. R. Co. call it,
"Cambridge," is growing rapidly; only
ten miles from Afton. Cattle buyers
already on the rounds, as the cattle are
doing well. No one sick, or married,
or puzzle-mad. E. S. Child.
The Decorative Art Society.
The main purpose ef the society is
to provide a place for the exhibition
and sale of art work done by women;
it seeks to induce women to master
one kind of decoration, rather than
diffuse their energies in several direc
tions; it has an art library, and classes
in various art industries; and it solic
its orders for its clientele from dealers
in decorated pottery and porcelain,
eabinet-work, draperies, embroideries
and other articles ef household art.
Wax flowers and fruit, feather flowers,
leather-work, skeletonized laves, knit
ting, crotchet, under-clothing, plain
sewing, and similar articles are exclud
ed. Any person sending a first contribu
tion will receive a contributor's num
ber, if the article is accepted by the
examining committee, and by this
number she will be thereafter kuown,
and her work will be identified. The
accepted article is signed by the socie
ty, and if it is considered to be speci
ally meritorious, th society's seal is
attached to it. When the contributor
does not mark it with the price, she is
required to give an estimate of the
cost of materials, and when it is sold
the full amount is paid to her less ten
per cent, the society's commission.
Rejected articles are returned to the
sender, with criticisms of the commit
tee. Among the articles considered
appropriate for admission, if of suffi
cient merit, are pottery, china, tiles,
plaques. embroiries, window, book
case, cabinet, and other hangings or
curtains, mantel aud bracket lambre
quins, decorated table and other house
linen, panels for cabinet-woik painted
on wood or leather, paintings upon silk
for screens, panels, and fans, decorated
menus and decorated note-paper.
Tho contributions come from all
parts of the country, and over 5700 ar
ticles were received last year. The larg
est amount paid to any one contribu
tor was $675 for paintings on china;
and from this the reader may well con
clude that under the most favorable
circumstances the decorative arts do
not lead on to fortune. Occasionally
a woman is heard of who receives fifty
dollars apiece for her plaques, and the
fact is circulated far and wide crea
ting an impression in every necessitous
woman's mind that she may be able to
do likewise. But it is only when con
siderable ability is combined with bus
iness "push' that one is successful, for
the painter is usually compelled to
solicit her own orders. The number
of instructors who .advertise them
selves,' and the hundreds of women
who are taking lessons in china-painting,
silk-painting, the coloring of pho
tograps,' and crayon-printing in all
large cities, ought to deter others
from venturing upon an occupation
already so .well filled. The farmer's
wife and daughter in Kansas and Ne
braska, the impoverished women of
the South, the widows of army and na
vy officers, and girls in New England
homesteads are all submitting contri
butions to the Decorative Art Society.
Those who are poor and work for
bread are brought into competition;
with other women who pursue art as
a recieation. Nearly every lady now
devotes some part of her leisure to
panel-painting or china-painting, and
however generous she may be, it has
all tho pleasure of novelty when she
ean sell what she -produces, be the
amount never bo trifling or immate
rial to her. William H. ; Rideino,
in Harper's Magazine for June.
