    General Garfield's Letter of Accept
ance of the Kepublican
Nomination.
An Able Oocuiueu from nu In
telligent .Han.
Mentor, O., July 13, 1 a. m.
Geueral Garfield has forwarded the
following letter of acceptance of "the
nomination tendered him by the re
publican national convention to Sen
ator Hoar, of Massachusetts :
Mentok, O., July 10, 1SS0.
Dear Sir: On the e renins of the
8th of June last, 1 had the honor to
receive from you in the preseuce of
the committee, of winch you were
chairman, the official announcement
that the republican national conven
tion at Chirago had that day nomi
nated me as their caudidate for
president ot the United States. I
accept thn nomination with grati
tude for the confidence it implies
and with a deep eeii6e of the respon
sibilities it imposes. I cordially en
dorse the principles set forth in the
platform adopted by the convention.
Of nearly all of the subjects on
which it treats my opinions are on
record among the published pro
ceedings of congress. I will ven
ture, however, to make special men
tion of some of the principal topics
which are likely to become subjects
of discussion. Without recurring
to the controversy which has been
settled during the'last 20 years, and
with no purpose or wish to revive
the passion of the late war, it should
be said that while the republicans
fnlly recognize and will strenuously
defend all the rights reserved to the
states, they reject the pernicious
doctrine ot slate supremacy -which
bo lrffig crippled the fuuctionsof the
national gve.nmiciit and at one
time brought the union very near
to destruction. They insist that the
United States is a nation, with am
ple powers of self-preservation ; that
it constitution and the laws, made
in pursuanre thereof, are the su
preme law of the land; that the
right of the nation to determine the
method by which its own legislature
shall be created cannot be surren
dered without abdicating one of the
fundamental powers of government;
that the national laws relating to the
election of representatives in con
gress shall neither bo violated or
evaded; that every elector should
bo permitted freely aud without in
timidation to cast his lawful vote at
such an election aud have it honest
ly counted, so that the potency of
hiB vote shall not bo destroyed by
the fraudulent vote of any other
person. The best thoughts aud en
ergies of our people should be di
rected to those great questions of
national well-being in which all
have a common interest. Such ef
forts will sootiest restore to perfect
peace those who were lately in arms
agaiust each other, for justice aud
good will are our last possessions.
But it is certain that the wounds of
the war cannot be completely healed
and the spirit of brotherhood cannot
fully pervade the whole country
until every citizen, rich or poor,
white or black, is secure in the tree
and equal eujoymont of ever)' civil
and political right guaranteed by
the constitution and the laws.
"Wherever the enjoyment of these
rights is not assured discontent will
prevail, immigration will cease aud
the soil and industrial forces will
continue to be disturbed by the mi
gration of laborers and the conse
quent diminution of prosperity.
Tho national government ehoufd
exercise all its constitutional au
thority to put out these evils, for all
tho people and all the states are
members of ono body, and no man
can suffer without injury to all.
The most serious evils which now
afflict the south arise from tho fact
that there is not such freedom and
toleration of political opinion and
action, so that the minority party
can exercise effective and wholc
nome restraint on the party in pow
er. Without such restraint party
rule becomes tyrrauical and corrupt.
The prosperity which is made pos
sible in the south by its great ad
vantages of soil and climate will
never be realized until every voter
can freely and safely support any
party he pleases. Next iu import
ance to freedom and justice is the
popular election, without which
neither justice nor freedom can be
permanently maintained, unless its
interests arc intrusted to the states
and the voluutary action of the
people. Whatever help tho nation
can justly afford should be gener
ously giveu to aid the states iu sup
porting the common schools; but it
would be unjust to our people and
dangerous to our institutions to
apply any portion of the resources
of the nation or the states for sup
port of sectional schools. The sep
aration ot the church and the state
In everything relating to taxation
should be au-olute. On the subject
of the national finances my views
have been so frequently aud fully
expressed that little is needed in the
way of additional statement. The
public debt is now so well secured,
and the rate of annual iutercst has
been reduced by refunding, that
rigid economy in expenditures and
tho faithful application of our sur
plus revenues to the payment of the
principal of the debt will gradually
and certainly free tho people from
its burden and close with houor the
financial chapter of the war. At the
eame time the government cau pro
vide for all ordinary expenditures
and discharge it sacred obligations
to the soldiers of the Union aud to
the widows aud orphans of those
who fell in its defense. The re
sumption of specie payment, which
the republican party so courageous
ly and successfully accomplished,
has removed from the field of con
troversy mauy questions that long
and seriously disturbed the credit of
the government and business of the
country. Our paper currency is
now as national asthe.flag, and re
sumption has not only made it
everywhere equal to coin, but has
brought into use our store of gold
and 6ilver. The circulating medium
is more abundant than ever before,
we need only to maintain the equal
ity of our dollars to insure to labor
and capital a measure of value from
the use of which none can suffer
loss. The great prosperity which
the country is now enjoying should
not be endangered by some violent
changes of doubtful financial ex
periments. In reference to our custom laws,
& policy should be pursued which
will bring revenue to the treasury
and will enable labor and capital
employed in our great industries
compete fairly in our own markets
with the labor and toreign produ
cers. We labor for the "people of
the United States not for the whole
world and it is our glory that the
Americau laborer is more intelli
gent aud better paid than his foreign
competitor. But the country must
be independent unless its people
with their abundant natural resour
ces, produce the requisite skill in
4fvar time to clothe, arm and equip
themselves for war, and in times of
peace produce all the necessary im
plements of labor. It was the man
ifest intention of tho founders of
our government to provide for the
common defense, not by standing
armies alone, but by raising among
rt
the people a greater army of arti
sans, whose intelligence and skill
should powerfully contribute to the
safety and glory of the nation. For
tunately for the interests of com
merce, there is no longer any for
midable opposition to appropriations
for improvements of our harbors
and great navigable rivers, provided
that the expenditures for that pur
pose are strictly limited to works of
national importance. The Missis
sippi river, with its great tributa
ries, is of such vital importance to
so many millions of people that the
safety of its navigation requires ex
ceptional consideration, in order to
secure to the nation the control of
all its waters. President Jefferson
negotiated the purchase of a vast
territory oxtending from the Gulf
of Mexico to the Pacific ocean. The
wisdom of congress should be in
voked to devise some plan by which
that great river shall cease to be a
terror to those who dwell upon its
banks, and by which its shipping
may safely carry the industrial pro
ducts of twenty-five millions of
people. The interests of agricul
ture, which is tho basis of all our
material prosperity, and in which
seven-twelfths of our population is
engaged, as well as the interests of
manufacturers and commerce de
mand that the' facilities for cheap
transportation shall be increased by
the use of all our great water
courses. Tho material interests of
our country, the traditions of its
settlement and the sentiments of our
people led the government to offer
the widest hospitality to emigrants
who seek our shores for new and
happier homes, willing to share the
burdeus as well as the benefits ot
our society aud intending that their
posterity shall become an u'ndistiii
guishable part of our population.
The recent raovemeutof the Chinese
to our Pacific coast partakes but
little of the qualities of such an
emigration either in its purpose or
its results. It is too much like an
importation to be welcomed with
out restrictions; too much like au
invasion to be looked upon without
solicitude. We cannot consent to
allow any form of servile labor to
be introduced among us under the
guise of immigration. Recognizing
the gravity of this subject, the pres
ent administration, supported by
congress, has sent to China a com
mission of distinguished citizens for
the purpose of securing such moder
ation of tho treaty as will prevent
the evils likely to arise from the
present situation. It is confidently
believed that these negotiations will
be successful without the loss ot
commercial intercourse between the
two powers which promises great
increase of reciprocal trade and the
enlargement of our markets. Should
these efforts fail it will be the duty
of congress to mitigate the evils
already felt and prevent their in
crease by such restrictions as with
out violence will place on a proud
foundation the freedom and dignity
of labor. The appointment of citi
zens to the various executive and
judicial ofllces of the government is
perhaps the most difficult of all the
duties which tho constitution has
imposed upon the executive. The
constitution wisely demands that
congress shall co-operate with the
executive departments in placing the
civil service on a better basis. Ex
perience has proved that with our
frequent changes of administration
no system of reform cau be made
effective aud permanent without the
aid of legislation. Appointments
to the military and naval service are
so regulated by law and customs as
to leave little ground for complaint.
It may not be worse to make similar
regulations in civil service, but
without invading the authority or
the necessary discretion of the ex
ecutive, congress should devise a
method that would devise the tenure
of office and greatly reduce the un
certainty which made that service
so uncertaiu and unsatisfactory
without depriving any officer of his
rights as a citizen. The government
should require him to discharge all
his official duties with intelligence,
efficiency and faithfulness. To se
lect wisely from our vast population
those who are best fitted for the
many offices to be filled requires an
acquaintance far beyond the range
of any one man. The executive
should thereforo seek and receive
the information and assistance of
those whose kuowledge of the com
munities in which the duties are to
be performed best qualifies them,
to aid them in takiug the wisest
choice.
The doctrines announced by the
Chicago convention are not the
temporary devices of a party to at
tract votCB and carry an election.
They are deliberated convictions
resulting from a careful study of the
spirit of our institutions, the course
of our history, and the best impulses
of our people. In my judgment
these principles should control the
legislation and administration of the
government. In any event they will
guide my conduct until experience
points a better way. If elected, it
will be my purpose to enforce strict
obedience to the constitution and
the laws, and to promote, as best I
may, the interest and honor of the
whole country, relying for support
upon the wisdom of congress, the
intelligence and patriotism of the
people aud the favor of God.
With great respect, I am, very
truly yours. J. A. Garfield.
To Hon. Geo. F. Hoar, chairman
of committee.
Chicago certainly takes the pre
mium for large feet. A lady los't
her bady for three hours the other
day, and found it only when she
came to put on her slippers.
There is a lawyer down East so
excessively honest that he puts all
his flower-pota out over night, bo
determined is he that everything
shall have its dew.
Paeexts, school your issues.
Sweep the Corner.
'Did you sweep the cornets?'
'Now, mother, what is the use of
being so particular? The parlor
looks just as nice as it can look.
Who's going to move evergreens
and tables and poke behind the piano
to see if there's a few grains of dust
there?'
'Have you never swept the corners
since you volunteered to take entire
charge of the parlor' Amy? You
know 1 have been shut up in my
room and haye trusted entirely to
you.'
'Not exactly; Mrs. Strongmore,
who lectures bo delightfully, you
know, says women waste so much
time iu pottering. She says it's a
great thing to learn just how much
housework and sewiug is necessary
to euable one to get along, and then
we shall save the rest of the time for
higher pursuits, and that is so much
gain.'
'Perhaps, if it really Baves time;
let us see how it Is in this case.
Move that stand, dear, and put your
broom in that corner.'
'Why, mother, there are myriada
of black fuzzy little things crawling
away, and why, it's too bad, they
have eaten all the pattern off of that
corner of our pretty carpet.'
That is what I feared. It Is the
buffalo moth, or carpet-bug, and hav
ing once made a lodgment, they will
run along every seam of tho carpet;
nothing cau save it but takiug it all
up aud having it thoroughly cleans
ed. It is too bad, but it never would
have happened if you had swept that
comer faithfully. Which way do
you think would have saved the
most time?'
'Mother, I was so disgraced to-day.
I wore my new cambric to the Sun
day school picnic, and when I was
swinging one of the children, the
whole sleeve ripped right down and
left my arm bare. It was especially
mortifying because I had just been
telling the girls how I had made it
all myself on my new machine.'
Softly, my daughter; did you
take a needle and fasten all the
threads as I suggested ?'
'Why, no ; that would have taken
so much time, aud I wanted to make
the whole dress in two days which
I did.'
'Did you save much time by that
proceeding?'
'No, mother, of course not; I see
what you mean. It's another case of
not sweeping the corners I suppose.'
'My dear child, I wish I could im
press upon you now the importance
of doing things thoroughly and not.
slighting the parts of work that do
not bIiow at first sight; duty and
policy are alike concerned in faith
fulness to the corners. My gardner
made me a flower-bed on the lawn
ouce, but I had hardly got it filled
with beautiful flowers when the
quick-grass came up so thickly be
tween them that it took more time
than 1 had to spare to pull it out,
and when I at last had recourse to
him, be acknowledged that he bad
only turned the sod over, not takiug
the time to pick it out.'
'Last spring there was a terrible
accident in New York; part of a
great building filled with peoplo
gave way, destroying much valua
ble life and property. Why? Be
cause somebody had not been care
ful of the corners, the unseen parts
of the building, where the strain
came, and this want of faithfulness
rendered the whole thing unsafe.
Only two months before that oc
curred the destruction of the Tay
bridge in Scotland, which thrilled
the public with indignation ; a whole
train of cars, with their crowd of
living freight, were precipitated at
once into the raging flood and dis
appeared, because of the unfaithful
ness of contractors, workmen, every
one concerned, in those parts of the
work whose unsoundness could not
be detected except by actual experi
ment and failure.
'And when we come to things not
tangible, the principle is just the
same carelessness about the cor
uers ; the out-of-the-way trivialities
of school-boy lessons have some
times cost, a man his standing and
success in, life. Have you forgotten
a certain 'girl graduate' whose per
centage was wofully lowered by the
absence of capitals aud commas in
an examination iu metaphysics?
There are young men and young
women to-day who are deliberately
laying the foundation of future
wretchedness aud failures by neg
lect of the little corners of habits
of strict honesty, perfect truthful
ness, making the most of the min
utes, etc., etc.
'Yes, mother, I see the policy of
the 'corners, but how about the
duty?'
'The artists of antiquity, my child,
aud the builders of the early Chris
tian ages followed their example,
put their best work on the backs of
their statues, the sides of capitals,
and bases that lay against the walls.
The most delicate carving of the
Miserere seats is fouud on the under
side; the finest stained glass in the
least-frequented nooks of old cathe
drals. And why? Because the
deities, the angols, the saints, were
supposed by those superstitious but
honest-hearted workmen to see ev
erywhere. 'Think, my child, of the Eye that
never slumbers looking down into
the corners of our rooms, our work,
our pursuits, our habits, our pur
poses, onr hearts.ur lives ; remem
ber that He has commanded us to be
faithful in the few things jpinmUtsd.
to our care. That he may find no
accumulated dust anywhere, sicccp
the corners." M. E. Winslow, in
2Tew York Observer.
Man's Age.
Few men die of age. Almost all
die of disappointment, paasiou or
bodily toil, or accident. The pas
sions kill men sometimes even sud
denly. The common expression
choked with passion has little exag
geration in it, for though not sud
denly fatal, strong passious shorten
life. Strong bodied men often die
young weak men live longer than
t ie strong, for the strong use their
strength and the weak have uone to
use. The latter take care of them
selves, tho former do not. As it is
with the body, so it is with the mind
and temper. The Btrong are apt to
break, or, like a candle to burn. The
inferior animals which live temper
ate lives, have generally their pres
cribed number of years. The horse
lives twenty-five; the ox fifteen or
twenty ; tho lion about twenty ; the
dog ton or twelve ; tho rabbit eight ;
the guina pig six or seven years.
These numbora all bear a similar
proportion to the time the animal
takes to grow its full size. But man,
of all animals, seldom lives this
average. He ought to live a hun
dred years, according to physical
law, for five times twenty are one
hundred, but instead of that, he
scarcely readies on an average four
times his growing period; the cat
six times ; the rabbit even eight times
the standard of measurement. The
treason is obvious man is not only
the most irregular and the most in
temperate, but the most laborous
and hard worked of all the animals.
He is also the most irritable ot all
animals ; and there is reason to be
lieve, though we cannot tell what an
auimal secretly feels, that more than'
any other animals, man cherishes
wrath to keep It warm, and con
sumes himsolf with the fire of his
own secret reflection.
Pro lit In Sheep.
"Twelve years ago," says a breed
er iu Missouri, "I started with 600
full blooded meriuos. I have now
over 0,000, and have sold several
thousand during that time. I have
made money every year Bince I star
ted, raising a large increase, and
shearing heavy fleeces each year.
The entire flock sheared last May
over eight pounds per head of a class
of wool that brings the highest price
in the market." This gentleman
throws out some hints of value to all
sheep growers. "The most critical
time iu a shepherd's experience," he
says, "is iu getting his flock ready
for wintering. I find it pays to give
the lambs, yearlings and breeding
ewes some corn after about the 20th
of October one-half au ear per head
on the start, and gradually increas
ing the amount as the grass growB
poorer. I usually feed in flocks of
two hundred or three hundred,
being careful that each flock is well
graded as to strength and condition.
The keystone of success in (he whole
matter is to keep your flock young,
well fed, and bred with good judg
ment. If it does not pay to keep
them well it does not pay to keep
them at all. I expect every sheep
on my place to eat two and one-half
bushelB of corn between fall and
spring, as well as what hay they can
consume.
True flreataeu.
The more we see of the world, the
more we are satisfied that simplicity
is as inseparably the companion of
true genius as it ia of true greatness.
Wo never yet knew a truly great
man a man who overtopped his
fellow man, who did not possess a
certain playful, almoBt infantile sim
plicity. True greatness never struts
on stilts, or plays the king upon the
stage. Conscious of its elevation,
and in knowing in what that eleva
tion consists, it is happy to act its
part like common men In the com
mon amusements and business of
mankind. It is not afraid of being
undervalued for its humanity. A
man who is thus fearless of letting
himself down to the level of his fel
low man in the ordinary amuse
ments and relaxations of life, what
ever elevations he may have
reached, must po&seas that innate
conciousness of genius which is
itself sufficient evidence of its own
existence. Those who aro afraid of
being undervalued or despised for
mixing with their fellow creatures
are; of the ordinary, every day race
of men, whom chance has made
great, and who, like the inmates of
unfinished palaces shut their win
dows lest people may come nigh
enough to detect the abject poverty
within.
Mark Twain says the only intro
duction to a literary audience that
he eyer had that seemed to him the
right word in the right place a
real inspiration was as follows:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I shall not
waste any unnecessary time in the
introduction. I don't know any
thing about this man ; at least I only
know two things about him one is
that he has never been iu the peni
tentiary, and the other is -T can't
see why."
True love is eternal, infinite and ,
always like itself. It ie equal ar '
pure, without violent demomtn
tions. It it seen with white bairr,
