.TauneS Al. Garfield.


with th-emiResatveamPaign orators I an
surprised at the efreqnent expression
of ! bSlief Chat. General Garfield i,
with us in sentiment but for some un.
explained reason stills snnwillingly ad.
heres to Grant and the party of cor.
ruption. I think this is giving Gar
field credit for being a better man
than he is; and the whole truth might
as well be told at onee- Garfield is
undeniably man of great Intellectual
power and a fine scholar; so was
lord Bacon; and yet Pope says he
was a-sthe greatest, zaedaest of man
1ind.Y Great moral obliquity il quits
compatible with many scholarly quail
ities and if smafthess be all Of great
ness TO be found in. Garfield thessoon
erewe jerk him out of oul4 affections
the betteroi sWej judgeman, ahd right
Rly too, BY the e1mpanlYy lie Keeps, and
no amolnf ,apf rhetorical flourish OF
spread eloquence,ssheuldi be al
lowed to gloss over the bribery and
that general cesspool of corruption
which has Grant for its head I think
iGartieldls appeals, to, the past war rec
pordy-+fhe camp, the march and the
Ielang of battle-for theipuFpose of en-
listing sympathy for Graut and his
thiev1ing misefeant Rings,-as # ii
were necessary to fight theaswar all
over again and stir up the badlblood
of total depfavity instead of cultiva-
ting tlie spirit Of forgiveness, of ann
,nesty and reconciliatiop-7is a wicked
perversion of talents and moral sense
And must this great orator. like the
