The Cincinnati Commercial, in
March, 1873, speaking Of the Credit
Mobilier matter said that the eri-
dence produced before the Poland
Committee "had fixed the guilt of
Garfield upon him clearly and UNI
mistakably." We suppose this is
the same Garfield who is now the
Republican candidate for President.
Do the people propose toefect a man
to that office who was charged with
taking a bride and whose guilt q
leading Republican paper distinctly
afirms was "clearly and unmistak-
ably fixed upon him" 2alAf3 iea1 .

Ashley Brown, the Canadian refu-
gee, who stole $4,000 from the Rev
enue Office in, Dayton, is now seated
in the editorial room of the Dayton
Journal, paragraphing against Nc
-Mahon, and in favor of Shultz and
his bar'l for Congressman! Alhiee
'chromo" for the honest and intel
ligent voters of this District to look
upon! He landed in Dayton from
Canada, the day before the Repnbli
a Congressional Convention, with
Billbickham as n of his bondsmen
To say anything against this thief,
the Journal calls it "unmanly,"
"heartlessness" and "want of sym
pathy for the unfortunate" What
do the good, honest and Christian
Republicans of Preble county think
of such proceedings?

Our Candidate for Congress.
j. Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The Democrats of the Fourth Ohio
district did themselves honor in re-
nominating that sterling and able
Democrat, Hon. John A. Mcmahon,
of Dayton, for Congress, notwith-
standing his positive declination. II
is not often that the office thus seeks
the man and the man is SO popular
that his constituents refuse to allow
him to go into retirement. MI. Nc
Mahon has represented his district
in Congress ably and is justly re-
garded as one of the leading mem,
bers of his party in the House. The
Democratic party cannot afford to
lose such men as Mr.. McMahon now,
and the Democrats of his district
did wisely in insisting upon his &C
ceptance of the nomination. AL,
though the district is Republican,
made SO by the gerrymander of la st
winter, we do not doubt that Mr..
Mcmahon will accept the nomina-
ton and be elected, while with any
other candidate it would be doubt
full. The Republican nominee is a
gentleman of no political experience
and little popularity, who was nom,
mated because he had q 'sbarl" and
expressed a willingness to tap it
freely. Against such a man Mr.
McMahon's election will be almos,
certain.

tits said that the Democratic State
Executive Committee contemplates
having printed for distribution one
hundred thousand copies of the Com
g~resstonal Canvass, a twenty-eight
column paper published by the Indes
pendent Republicans of Garfield's
District in 1876. It is a complete
arraignment Of Garfield on his record
against the Silver Bill, Credit MoDi-
lier bribery and the De Golyer pave,
ment. It will be mighty interesting
reading to persons who propose to
vote for. principles" and not men.

The old story of the "rebel debt"
is being rung in the ears Of the read
ers of some of the Republican jour
mails. II is decidedly the thinnest
scare crow presented to frighten sen
Isible men into the support of their
salary grab and D. Golyer pavement
candidate for President. It is thin
ner than Tanner, after his forty days
fast, and presents to the people a
vastly more idiotic and ridiculous
appearance. The man who under
takes to argue that the Democratic
party, when once fully restored to
power, will, in spite of the 18th
amendment to the Constitution, as
sumo S 5000, O0O, 900 of Southern loss
es and war debts, must be q fool or a
knaye or thinks his readers fools,
and that they will be Influenced by
such illusions of diseased magma
ton. The leaders of the Democratic
party have, at least, common sense
and foresight enough to see and
know that to saddle a debt of three
thousand million dollars, or any con-
siderable portion of it upon their
constituents, would be the utter an
Inhalation of their party aud an end
to all their earthly ambitions. To
suppose for a moment that the party
leaders would favor measures that
bode them such ill, is too ABSURD for
contemplation by minds of even or
binary common sense, but will serve
admirably for old played out poll
tical moss backs, who have tried
both parties for office, to insult the
intelligence of their readers.

their candidate against his positive
ly expressed opinion that he would
not accept the nomination, which
was no good with the earnest mean
ing Democrats who assembled in
Dayton with the praiseworthy object
of naming q mar for the Office who
would give to it high and deserving
ability. We don't know that q man
was ever nominated for Congress
with as much good feeling and gen.
eral recognition, accepted as it is by
both parties. Mcmahon will be
elected in spite of the majority
against him estimated at 700.
1t is admitted by Republicans that
SO far as the ability and social quail
titles of their candidate go, he is
much inferior man to Mcmahon, ant
that Mr.. Shultz will lose a large PEI
cent. of the best men who vote tht
Republican ticket, since they woult
rather not vote at all than vote TO
nothing.

When Tom Mast, the caricaturist
of Harper's Weekly, is approached
by an interviewer for his opinion of
Garfield, he shakes his head and pre-
serves a discreet silence. The rea-
son is found in the fact that on
March Is, 1873, MI. Mast published
a double-page cartoon, grouping
Garfield and the other Credit Mobi-
lier statesmen, with a placard as fol-
lows:
Disgraced in the eye of the public
for owning Credit Mobilier stock,
which was in fact and intent a fraud
upon the Government. Also for de-
ceit and evasion. aa ffsa

At a reunion of the Irish Brigade
in New York two years ago., General
Hancock offered the following toast:
The typical Irishman Ills home
the world. His friends-all the
people. His faith-his own. No
cline to him so cold as will not pro-
duce, a shamrock no soil SO barren
as will not grow a shillalah. Fore
most at a fight, a frolic or a funeral.

the bad, a smile for the glad, or q
tear for the sad. sn

Bickham, of the Dayton Jourauz,
and the Revenue department., are
having a rough time in defending
themselves against the Indignation
of decent Republicans, over the nom
ination of Shultz. Street wrangles
are reported every day by the DEM
ocrat. An ex-delegate from Preble
county bounced Bickham last Fri
day in Dayton, the substance of
which was that Shultz had used the
S among the Preble county delegates.
OF course he did. 1t is a sweet
mess. A beautiful dish to invite
honorable Republicans to partake of!

A Reptsblicsan Congressman.
-..n.. Sidney Democrat.

Emanuel Shultz, of Miamisburg,
is the Republican candidate for Con
gross in the Dayton District. He is
a brewer, and has a "bar'P of mon
ely. Free beer and the 'bar'r are
expected to carry him through. He
is as illiterate as a mule, and yet the
temperance, God and moral Repub-
liean fanatics of Greene, Preble,
Darke and Montgomery counties
Will swallow at one gulp Shultz's ig-
norauce and beer simply because he
is a Republican. If such a person
were q Democratic candidate what q
howl they would raise about the ig-
norance and beer-guzzling propen-
stiles of the ed Dutch"

If the Republicans in Preble, who
have already declared to US that they
will not vote for Shultz stick to their
resolution, and we know many Of
them will, there is not a shadoY of
doubt but that Nj. MCMAHON will
carry the county. Many of them
are prominent in the party, but pro
pose to teach Bickham, the Revenue
department and Shuitz's barn that
they are not steers and 'hogs' to
be bought and sold at the pleasure
Of this Ring. -.

The publication of Gen. Hancock's
letter to Gen. Sherman, under the
circumstances which have brought
it out, has had a distressing effect
ca the Republicans. The New York
Eosning Post (Republican), which
keenly feels it, thus administers q
re5uke to the STOOL friends of Gar
field who are responsible for unearth-
ing the letter:
This letter ought to be q lesson to
over.zealous partisan newspapers.
The letter is in all respects a proper
one to have been written. The views
which it embodies might veil have
been adopted by any good citizen,
Republican or Democrat, in civil
life or military life. So much is
what it says a matter of course that
the letter probably would have at
tracted very little attention if super.
seryieeable organs had not magnified
it's supposed contents and tried to
show that the writer was an insubor
dinate officer, a conspirator and a
traitor. General Hancock said nc
more and no less than he could say
with propriety, hut the silly organs
have told so terrible o story about
him and his letter that the publica-
tion by very contrast helps him and
serves the purpose of d good cleo.
pioneering document. We say tina,
this ought to be a good lesson to the
partisan press, but it is by nc means
certain that it will be.

Hon. Martin F. Stephens, an ex-
Representative and exsTreasurer OF
Preble county, declares he will not
support Shultz for Congress. He is
q solid Republican that the will
not influence or control to elect a
man to Congress who is wholly and
totally unfit for the position. There
are many others in the county the
same way. iii

Cleveland Plain Dealer: The Or
gans of Mr.. Garfield, confronted by
the evidence Of his guilt in the
matters charged by the Democratic
press, have ceased even their efforts
to defend him. The evidence is SO
strong as TO carry conviction and it
is furnished by Republicans them
selves. They cannot deny or answer
it and can only take refuge in silence.
It is charged md has been proven
that Mr.. Garfield spoke in. favor of
the salary grab bill and that heavot
ed for it. To this the Republican
answer is silence. 1t is charged and
has been proven that Mr.. Garfield
did not return his share of the grab
into the Treasury until almost two
months after the passage of the bill
and not until after a convention of
his constituents had called upon him
to return it. What have Mr.. Gar
fields, organs to say to this2 They
Flare not deny it and they say moth
ing. It has been charged and proven
that Mr.. Garfield received Credit
IMobilier stock from Cakes Ames.-
1t is proven by the official report Of
a committee, a majority of which
were his party associates and every
man ofwhom signed the reports The
Republican answer to this serious
accusation is silence. 1t has been
charged and proven that Mr.. Garfield
received $1,000 from the DeGolyer
pavement ring. He does not deny
himself that he received this money,
but says it was a fee. It has been
shown that it was not a fee because
there were no legal services render
ed. Before this accusation the Re-
publican organs are dumb. They
make no reply because they dare not.
The proofs are overwhelming and
can be produced. The party has a
tload upon its shoulders that it finds
hard to carry when it has a eandi-
date whose record is so bad that the
organs a not even try to de
lfend it, but are forced to take refuge
in silence thereby admitting that the
charges are true. The judgement
against Mr.. Garfield is on record and
it is in the handwriting of his own
party friends. go

to cause surprise; and in. this case,
the surprise is accompanied with re-

that a convention of his constituents
renominated him in spite of his re-
fusal, and then adjourned so that he
