Called on Gnrlirltl.
Cleveland, December 2. Ohio's
twenty-two electors accompanied by
Gov. Foster, Secretary of State
Barnes, State Treasurer Turucy and
other officials visited Mentor this
morning to pay a formal call upon
Gen. Garfield.
During the visit in response to the
address of Gcu. Grosvenor, Garfield
addressed the electors as follows:
I am deeply grateful to you for
this call and these personal and pub
lic congratulations. If I were to
look upon the late campaign and tho
result merely iu the light of a per
sonal struggle and a personal suc
cess it would probably be as grat
ifying as anything could be in the
history of politics. If my own
conduct durinsr the campaign has iu
anyway been a help and strength to
our cause I am glad. It is not al
ways an easy thing to behave well.
If, under trying circumstances, my
behavior as a candidate for the pres
idency has met your approval I am
greatly gratified, but the larger sub
ject of your congratulations to the
country on the triumph of the re
publicau party, opens a theme too
vast for mo to enter upon now. 1
venture, however, to mention a re
flection which has occurred to me
in reference to the election of yes
terday. I suppose that no political
event has occurred in all the course
of the contest siuce the early spring
which caused so little excitement
and indeed so little public observa
tion as the presidential election
which was held yesterday at mid
day. The American people paid
but little attention to the details of
the real presidential election, aud for
a very significant reason. Although
you and all members of the electo
ral colleges had an absolute consti
tutional and technical right to vote
for anybody you chose, and though
no written law directed or suggest
ed your choice, yet every American
kuew that an august sovereign of
this republic, 9 000,000 of voters, on
an early day iu November, had pro
nounced the omnipotent fiat of
choice and that the sovereign, as
suming as done that which he had
ordered to be done, entertained no
doubt that his will would be im
plicitly obeyed by all colleges in all
states. That is why the people were
so serenely quiet yesterday. They
had never yet found an Amoricau
who had failed to keep his trust as a
presidential elector. From- this
thought I draw this lesson : that
when that omnipotent sovereign,
the American people, speaks to one
man aud orders him to do the duty,
that a man may under the most
solemn obligations of duty execute
those that the God of the Universo
might impose upon him. Yester
day, through your votes, aud tho
votes of others iu tho various states
in the Union, it is probable that the
returns will show that our great po
litical sovereign had laid his com
mands upon me. If he has done so,
I am as bound by his will and his
great inspiration and purpose as I
could be bound by any considera
tion that tliH earth could impose on
any human being. In that presence,
therefore, 1 am awed by the maj
esty aud authority of such a com
mand. In so far as lean interpret
the best aspirations and purposes of
our august sovereign, I shall Beck to
realize them. You and I, and those
who have acted with us in years
past, believe that our sovereign loves
liberty, and desires for all itp inhab
itants of the republic pence and
prosperity under the sway of just
and equal laws. Gentlemen, I thank
you for this visit, for this welcome,
for the suggestions that your pres
ence and your words bring, and tho
hope that you have expressed in the
arduous and great work before us
that we may maintain the standard
of our nationality and promote all
that is good and worthy iu this
country, and that during the coming
four years we may raise just as large
a crop of peace, prosperity, justice,
liberty and culture as it is possible
for forty-nine millions of people to
raise.

We clip the following from iho
David City Jiepublicnn, and com
mend it to members of the House as
containing words of truth and so
berness :
"There are already many anxious
aspirants for the speakership iu our
State legislature, to convene next
mouth. Among the many names
mentioned for the responsible posi
tion of presiding otiioci, the name
of Hon. J. C. Robber.a, .d Ciller,
stands out in bold relief. Mr. Rob
berts was elected Float Rcpreseuta
alivo of the 51&t Representative
District by a majority of overSOO, a
most handsome recognition of abili
ty and fitness. His political oppo
nent was the strongest candidate ol
the Democratic party ot the Dis
trict, which last year gave a Demo
cratic majority ot over J00. His
majority in this county .was 705
Jlgainst a Democratic majority of
135 two years ago. We challenge
any competitor to show a more com
plete aud full home endorsement.
It is urged by the prominent Re
publicans ot the 51st District, that
Mr. Robbcrts is wholly free Irom
any entangling alliances, and if hon
ored with the position of presiding
officer, wo will hear no charges of
packed' committees, partisan rul
ings, aud a thousand aud one other
objections, so frequently heard in
connection with legislative proceed
ings. The sterling qualities of Mr.
Robbcrts as a lawyer, his knowledge
of parliamentary rules, and the claim
of his District constituency to a
reasonable recognition iu the com
ing legislature cannot fail of ac
knowledgment and careful consid
eration, iu the organization of the
lower House.

The electors for President and

ballots in the several states Wed
nesday of last week. Every elector,
so far as we have learned, strictly
obeyed tho sovereign will of the
people, and recorded his vote iu
pursuance of that power. That is
one of the principles iu a republican
form of government that every true
patriot will respect. No instance is
known to the history of our presi
dential elections where an elector
has betrayed this trust of power, and
we hope in future generations no
elector will be found so low in Hip
mire of parlizau hale as to disregard
the will of the people. "We never
could comprehend why everything
connected with tho workings of our
form of government could not be
conducted with perfect fairness and
upon correct moral principles, and
tho party resorting to corrupt meas

Should the sovereign people deter

be accomplished, aud every individ
