Capt. Burroughs of Painesville and
Mr.. Perkins OF Cincinnati, addressed
a respectable anti Garfield meeting at
GarfettsvilIe last Saturday evening.
Mr.. Perkins, in an exceedingly fair
and candid manner, discussed Gar
fields connection with theSalarv- Grab
and DeGolyer steal. He read from
the Congressional Globe the proceed !
ings regarding the Salary steal, and
demonstrated clearly to any unpreiu-
diced mind that Garfield acted as
Ben Buffers First Lieutenant in that
infamous transaction, even quoting
Garheld's words in the House, that
sin most cases the increase is eminent
ly just and proper and ought to be
made" --- 1f2 -s '-- = ---'----
Mr., Burroughs replied to Garfieid's
speech at Warren, Which he said Had
been revised by Garfield befO4e ie Ras
published, and sent broad east thro6gh
theDistrict. Burroughs argument was
forcible, Logical, and 6ohyihcing.
Garfield statedria his Warren speech,
that aie people OF the SDistfict Of
Columbia, Of rather. Washington, had
their own luunicipaI regulations and
made theirewnv improKemeHts,r pre-
cisely as the people of Warren do, &c.
Burroughs read from the Congress
sional enactment, setting up The Sbep-
pard government in Washington. By
that law, the city government, with
the Board of Improvement are entfre-
ly under the control OF Congress and
the President, and, the people have not
the slightest voice in the matter. He
ridieuled in "a masterly mannef the
idea of Garfield receiving S., 900 as at
torneys fees ia the DeGolyer matter
and demonstrated, most clearly, that
the fee paid was for Garfield's infiu-
ence, as Chairman of the Commits
Zee. on Appropriations. Garfield said
there were legal questions connected
with it. Parsons said, in his sworn
statement before the Investigating
Committee that there were no legal
questions involved in the case, IsA

the benefit of the Republican cause. A
