Truth about the Glover Report.

Edmund Hudson, one of the best informed
correspondents in Washington, writes to the
Boston Herald, saying:
"What is the truth about the Glover report
about which we hear so much?' is question
which great many people are asking nova
days. Mr.. Glover of Missouri is one of those
excellent gentlemen whose discretion is inferi-
or to their valor He never seemed to one very
much OF a Democrat, and in personal qualities
he was, while in Congress, the equal if not the
superior, of most men on the Democratic side
OF the House. He was appointed chairman of
the committee on the expenditures of the
Treasury Department, and through two Con-
crosses he carried on q secret investigation into
the management of certain business of the
Treasury Department. Mr.. Glover's invest-
CATION had two peculiarities 1t was conducted
chiefly by himself, without the aid or knowl-
edge OF the other members of the committee.
1t was aided by certain so-ealled experts, some
OF whom were notoriously crack-brained fools,
whom no Congressman or any other person
with any regard for his own reputation, would
be likely to ask to assist him in any matter of
business whatever. Add to this the fact that
Glover did not know liar or blackmailer
from an honest man on the witness stand, and
you have the principal characteristic of this ex-
traordinary investigation. The result can be
easily understood Glover listened to the mar
rative of fools, liars, blackmailers and some
honest men, and out of all their stories he got
a vast mass of evidence, some of which was i'm
portant, and most OF which was untrue or ri
diculous. Like many other Democratic inves-
tigators, he did not get ready to make any re-
port until too near the end of the session to
get 1t before the House. He had also succeeded
In stirring up certain mares nests of evidence
the publication of which would be derogatory
to prominent Democrats and when he came
to ask to have his report printed there was
combined effort on both sides of the House to
suppress it. Mr.. Glover is an honest man, but
terribly weak-headed, and about as useless in
Congress as it isIpossible for a man to be. He
might have made a strong and telling report
on abuses in the Department. but he utterly
failed. Now he has become sore-head and
is making nuisance of himself by circulating
his worthless testimony in obscure newspapers
throughout the country.

The Meaning of the Extra Session.

lFrom General Garfeld's Speech at Madson.l
1t is matter of proof under oath indubit-
ably that the election in New York State in
1868 was carried by sheer and outrageous fraud,
that 81 900 fraudulent votes were thrown in
the city of New York alone, with which they
were enabled to carry the State by only 10000
majority. In fact, the State went Republican
by $4,000. The first and foremost point in the
election law was that the United States should
have man at this end of the ballot-box and
another at that, one Democrat and the other
Republican, who should stay there from the
time the ballot-box was opened in the morning
until the last vote was counted at night, and
be the official witness of that grand transaction
until it closed. Was that fraud? Was that
oppression? And yet every Democrat in Con-
gress voted against it, and fought against 1t,
and denounced it as oppression, and demanded
free election. Laughter.] Oh, oh, free!
What kind of freedom do they want but the
old freedom of Tammany hall, the freedom of
stuffed ballot-boxes without witnesses, the
freedom to change votes without witnesses, the
freedom to steal Liberty from her cradle. Let
me explain in one word the meaning of this
whole extra session. They have solid South.
All they want is the States of New York and
Ohio. With these they carry the Presidency
in their hands, and have captured the Govern
ment from turret to foundation. How can they
carry Ohio and New York? Only in one way
Ii they can get free control of the cities of Gin
cinnati and New York they can carry those
States without any power to prevent them, for
they can stuff more ballots and steal more
votes into the boxes after the election is over
than the good people can put into them be-
tween the hours of six in the morning and six
at night. Laughter.l And hence the effort
to get into New York and Cincinnati, and
these two concrete purposes were all they were
after in the late session. If an angel from
heaven, or, rather, a devil from the internal
pit, had been able some night to pluck from
our statute books the provision OF law that
would give them those two cities, or if they
could put in a clause exempting those two
from the operation of the election law the ap-
preparation bills would have been passed with
out word of debate. But they knew they
must carry those two cities or lose 1880. The
Republican party did not propose to sacrifice
1850 or any other year of our Lord ou such an
issue as that [applausel, and we have come
back home to tell you that tn ough they said
not one dollar of S45, 100000 should be appro-
priated until the election laws were repealed,
yet S44, 100000 have been appropriated, and
not one of the election laws has been repealed.
[Applause.

Forward.

The absolute creation of wealth in this coun-
try last year certainly exceeded $500 OOO, 900,
because were purchased that amount of bonds
and paid for them with our products or with
cash. The continuance of this gain is proved
by large home purchases in government bonds,
estimated from S15O,0O0,000 up during this
year. 1t is calculated that more than $50, ,OOO.-
700 OF railroad lands and stock were retired
from public competition the first month of this
year, and the absorption continues. The traffic
upon all railways has grown greatly above the
diminished rates, and the railways have
profted by the means which helped their pat
rons and which insure them an abiding profit.
The cotton mills of the southeast, like those of
the northeast, have been gaining patronage
and profit, and the iron interest in this State,
has made notable gains within few months
that will be seen later The augmenting de-
mand for coal shows a general industrial inn
proyement The extension of railways south
westward, beyond the Mississippi, indicates a
great improvement there, whose products.
already felt, must become more valuable and
important. Everywhere raw products are
cheapened and cheapening. Everywhere the
price OF labor and capital has diminished.
Everywhere transportation is more complete
and cheap, and the business improvement of
which many speak as prospective, shows in
true germs and certain present assurances.
The continuation of the condition is guaran-
teed by the less capital and interest due abroad:
by larger crops and a continuing demand for
them elsewhere; by the large transfer of con-
sumers to producers; by the Investment of dor
mant capital and the anxiety of all to do and
gain.
These are positive indications and answers.
They are liable to no contingency of foreign
war or peace; subject to no qualification of the
markets and of excha nge. They are as wide
spread as the nation in their application, and
their very being augurs their growth. Tbev
are given new efficacy by the constant return
of corporations to the list of dividend pavers.
and by the diminished number of failures
There are many foreign facts which help them,
and the settlement of our finances buoys them
like another ether The facts are notorious
and credited. If they exert only their legiti-
mate influence, without calculating extraor-
a. nary events, we have here the sure founda-
ton Of prosperity that cannot be DELAYED in
time or limited in amount. We have waited
long. Here is the beginning of our hopes, and
Its certainty is liable to great expansion.

not find evidence to support single one of
these charges. AS to the matter of alleged
political assessments, know of my own per-
sonal knowledge that no specific sums were de-
manded OF clerks, that there was no intima-
tion as to the amount they were expected to
contribute, and that they gave larger or
smaller sums or declined to give at ALL as they
felt inclined or able. And no clerk feels less
