ut last given that valuable document
to the public, and like the mountain
that labored and brought forth O
mouse, this effort Of his is peculiar.
OF course he is profoundly grateful
for the high honor imposed, but from
present appearances the honor will
consist mainly in running a race and
getting beaten worse than even his
predecessor Hayes, for whom he pur'
jured himself by assisting to count in.
Without going into details we adopt
the following fair and concise opinion
Of it as given by the Cincinnati En-
guirer: The letter of acceptance Of
General Garfield rspudiaies an un'
named portion Of the Chicago plat.
form on which he was nominated;
plainly seeks to make the issue of the
Campaign one Of GENERALIZATION
against civil liberty; waves the bloody
shirt behind transparent screen; de-
mands that the Executive Depart
ment Of the Government shall elect
the Congress Of the people; paves the
way for the emigration Of negroes TO
the States where their votes are need
Ell; talks of schools that are beyond
the jur isdiction Of the Federal Gov
ernment bids for the votes of soldiers
whose Arrears extensions Bill found
an enemy in him; divides his pleasant
words upon the question OF a prOtec-
tive tariff between the Golden Club,
of which Garfield is a member. and
his hope Of carrying Pennsylvania;
compliments the founder of the Dem
ocratic party as it speaks of our
splendid domain; denounces General
Garfield as a hypocriie in mentioning
the Chinese question; and actually has
the audacity to allude to Civil Service
Reform while Arthur is at the tail Of
the Presidential ticket. This is the
substance, this is the essence, CT the
letter Of acceptance.
Is his letter Of acceptance, Gar
field says his views are well known To
the country from his record in Con-
gress. He is right they are, and it is
q very patent fact that they are sadly
at variance with those he now express
es. For instance, his record in Con-
gress shows that he has on all Occa-
sions spoken and voted for Chinese
immigration. Now, because the Re
publican platform recommends that
Congress make some modification in
the treaty with the Chinese Govern
ment, he says: sit is too much like
an importation to be welcomed without
restriction, too much like an invasion
to be looked upon without solicitude.
We cannot consent to allow any form
Of servile labor to be introduced
among us under the guise of immi
grafton" Oh consistency, thou art
a jewel, not at all in the possession of
Mr.. Garfield.
