safely elected, Garfield, acting, it is be-
lieved, under the advice of Blaine, re-
pudiated the Mentor agreereent, and
appointed to the Collectorship of the
port of New York, the most importa.ut
officio in the State, Judge Robertson,
one of his strongest supporters at the
Chicago Convention, and who more-
over was personally obnoxious to Conk -
ling. Hence the quarrel between' the
New York Senator aud the late Presi-
dent—a quarrel which has been , at-
tended by results so serious and unex-
pected.; and the end is not yet.
The chief difficulty in th0 path of
President Arthur is to reconcile the
animosities which arose out of this un-
fortunate quarrel. The majority of the
Republican party sided with the late
President, and vehemently abused
Conkling. They considered that he
was attempting to dictate to the chief
magistrate, and paid no attention at all
to his plea that the President had
broken faith with him'. They jumped
to the conclusion that Garfield's objeot
was to put down bossism, reform the
civil service, and abolish the spoils sys-
tem. For this end they did. not scruple
to affirm that he was justified in break-
ing faith with Conkling, even if the
latter were right in claim as to the
agreement which he alleged was made
at Mentor. On the other hand, Grant
and his friends sided strongly with
Conkling, and censured Garfield for
causing a split in the party, One of
the most active supporters of Conkling
was Vice -President Arthur, who weet
in person to Albany to assist Conkling
in his struggle against the Administra-
tion after his resignation of the New
York Senatorships, when he was again
seeking re-election at the hands -'of the
State Legislature. And now Arthur is
called upon to forsake his former
friends and associates and join himself
to Blaine and the other chiefs of the
_Half-breeds. The majority of the
American people, as well as many out-
siders, seem to think that thiki is the
only proper course for him to take, and
solemnly warn him_ against choosing
the naembers of his Cabinet from
among the stalwart faction. Let hire
pursue Garfield's policy, they say, and
retain Garfield's Cabinet, and all will
go well. They who give this advice
seenalp3 forget that except in his oppo-
sition,to Conkling,Garfield had not de-
veloped any policy. They also forget
that it is both the right and the custom
of American Presidents to choose their
advisers from among their personal
friends and supporters. If Arthur now
deserts the Stalwarts, he will incur
the reproach of ingratitude to the men
who virtually placed him in the posi-
tion he occupies. It is very unlikely
that' he will do this. It is a mistake to

SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, Oet. 7, 1881.
United States Politics.
The position of President Arthur is a
difficult and delicate one, aad be will
require to exercise great prudence and
discretion in order to avoid making
shipwreck both of his own reputation
and of the party of which he is now the
chief. The Republican party, by
whom he was elected to the Vice-
Presidendy, on the same ticket with
General Garfield, is in a disorganized
state. It is broken up into two factions,
known as the Half -Breeds and the
Stalwarts, which appear to hate 'and
.distrust one another more than do their.
TiVals—the Democrats. The occasion
of this split in the Republican party
was the famous dispute between the
late President and Senator Conkling
respecting the appointments to public
offices in the State of New York. The
origin of the dispute, however, went
further back. Even before the late
Presidential, elections the Republican
party was virtually split into two op-
posing sections, viz., the Stalwarts, or
supporters of General Grant, and the
anti Third.-Termeis, who were opposed
to Grant's nomination as the party
candidate, not only because Grant,
when in power, had shown himself to
be a very corrupt ruler, but because it
was contrary to what was regarded. as
an unwritten law of the Republic to
choose any man to the office of Presi-
dent for a third teim. At the head of
these factions respectively in the
Chicago convention stood Senator
Conkling, of IsTsv/ York, and Senator
'Blaine, of Maine Blaine was himself
a candidate for the Presidency; Conk -
ling was manager for Grant. Between
the twb a strong rivalry existed. The
Stalwarts, under Conklingie leadership,
held together with the utmost steadi:
ness, and voted aa one man for G -rant.
The votes of their opponents were di-
vided among a number of candidates.
It soon became apparent that Grant
had not votes enough in the convention
to secure his nomination Without the

Grant. Suddenly the votes heretofore
split on Blaine and Sherman were con-
centrated on Garfield, who With 'the
help of some of the scattered votes,
obtained the requisite majority,' and
was duly nominated. Conkling and
the Grant men felt their defeat keenly,
and in order to reconcile them to it,
and secure the, undivided support of
the Republicssii party for Garfield, the
ehoice - of a candidate for the Vice -
Presidency was left to the Stalwarts.
They at first proposed 'Kr. Morton, who
is now American minister at Paris, but,
tha-t gentleman declining, the nomin-
ation was offered to General Arthur, of
New York. It is said that Conkling
advised Arthur to refuge the nomina-
tion, on the ground that Garfield, as
4te.publicart candidate, stood but a poor
ihrtnce of being elected. Arthur, how-
ever, decided to take the chances, and
was nominated accordingly for the
Vice -Presidency on the same ticket
with Garfield. .Still Conkling was not

With the sufferings and death 'Of the
late President of the United States
cleaily proves that they are not cold-
hearted. In reality they are a kindly
and warm-hearted people, but it re-
-quires an adequate cause to draw forth
their sympathies.
The kindly feeling shown in England
for the American President and people
has excited both pleasure and surprise
among our neighbors. The Boston
Transcript in a recent issue says:
'The wholly' unexpected degree of feeling for
the President manifested ia England touches the
Amciican people very deeply. Interest and re-
spectful sympathy were of course looked for from
the whole world, and this expectation was not
disappointed. From France and Germany, from
Italy and Russia, imd even from 'far Cathay,' have
come messages of sympathy and condolence. But
the manner in which the English people have
taken our sorrow to heart, led therein by the
Queen and Government, passes all mere 'custom-
ary. shows of grief.' The Queen's message to Mrs.
Garfield came straight !lona the heart, without a
thought beyond what any good woman, mother
and wife mighp feel for wife and moth( r terribly
bereaved. This is wholly of the essence of pure
family affection; the drawing of cords born in the
blood and prov.ng that blood is thieker than
water. Tho spontaneous wiling of the church
bells in little iural parishes in England to -day,
like the half.masting of flags at the ports yester-
day, is another tell.tale demonsttation of affec-
tion too warm and a sorrow too deep to be left
to official expression. The fact is, and the waxing
in age and strength of the American Republic
only makes it More certainly known and felt on
both sides of the Atlantic, the great English-
speakinfipeoples are one in their destinies, though
an ocean, less and lose a bar to intercourse for
generation after generation, rolls between. The
'mother country' still feels the irresistible ties of
motherhood in any stress of danger or sorrow for
tis, and the aoknowledgment of a reciprocal senti-
ment no less faithful is a sweet and grateful duty
on our part"
It is to be hoped that President Gar -
field's death will be the era from which
Englishmen and Americans will date a
better feeling and a better understand-
ing than ha a ex '.ed between the
two nations since t1_, war of the revolu-
tion. It is time that She jealousies and
heart burnings created by that war
were forgotten. In England there is
every indication that already it is
virtually so. T -he present generation of
Englishmen are as ready to admit as
the Americans to claim that Washing-
ton and the other leaders of the revo-
lution were right, and that George III.
and his advisers were wrong. English-.
men uow contemplate the greatness and
splendor of the American Republio,
not only without envy or jealousy, but
with pride. It is remembered that the
Republic is the eldest daughter of
England, and the parent is naturally
proud of the growth of her offspring.
In America we fear a less friendly
feeling has heretofore existed. With
many Americans jealousy of England,
and a desire to see her humbled, has
been a prevailing passion. The feeling
never fails to find expression in a more
or less marked ,manner when England
happenstoget into a difficulty with
some foreign power. This was:the ceee

The day, although somewhat oold
and raw, was not unfavorable, and there
was a good crowd of spectators, prob-
ably more than on • former omissions.
The display in the hall, in ahnost every
department, was lights—lighter than
we have seen it for years. The ex-
hibits; however, except in fruit and
dairy prodnots, were of splendid quality.
The roots and grain were good, and the
ladies' department contained many
very nice articles, and the whole was
neatly and tastefully arranged, but a
good deal of "padding" was re-
quired to make the hall look as well as
.it did.
There was a large and varied display
of implements and carriages, the display
of the latter being particularly good.
The show of poultry was excellent and
fully as large as any we have seen in
the connty. Poultry is now becotning
an important factor in all our shows.
A few years ago the displays were
meagre intjthe extrerne, and attracted
but little attention from exhibitors.
Now all this is reversed. The display
is usually large, and next to the horse
ring no department attracts greater at-
tention from speetatOrs. Show iirec-
tors might, very properly, make the
prizes much larger and thus give ad-
ditional encouragement to what is be-
coming among our farmeta an itnport-
ant and by no means unprofitable in-
terest. In heavy draught horses there
was net very keen competition, but
several good animals were shown. The
general purpose classes, however, were
all well filled, and the judges had abun-
dant -room for choice of judgment. In
fact, there was both in general purpose
and road and carriage horses a very
large show, and many as good animals
as could. befound in any show ring in
the Province, not even excepting the
great Provincial. The best show of all
was in cattle,and here the most marked
improvement was noticeable. The fine
herds of Messrs. -Dickson and E
of Tuckersmith, and Glen and Russell,
of Usborne, besides other well known
breeders of thoroughbreds, were well
represented. It was freely admitted by
those competent to judge that the show
of cattle was the best ever held it* the
county, and the competition the keen-
est. The show of sheep and swine was
also large, and the character of the ani-
mals exceptionally good. Taken upon
the Whole, the outside show was grati-
fyingly successful and probably the
best yet held in Exeter, and did much
to overcome the disappointment caused
by the somewhat rneagredisplay with4
the hall. The following is the

The Dublin Show.
The Hibbert, Logan and McKillop la
Agricultural Society held their annual
show at Dublin on Wednesday last. h
There was a fair attendance of people. R
Like most other shows so far this sea- w
son, the indoor display was somewhat P
light. There were several neat and P
tastehilly worked articles in the ladies' q
department; several good samples of M
grain, and. excellent roots and fair vegee q
tables, but the fruit and dairy pro- a
ducts were very meagrely represented.
There was a fair • show of horses, al- B
though in none of the classes was com-
petition keen. There was a very good w
show of cattle both in thoroughbreds 5
and grades, and. several good sheep but M
competition in pigs and poultry was w
slim. The following is the prize list : G
