A CAMPAIGN LIE.

The Baltimore American of the goth ult.,
has special, giving certain information pur-
porting to come from gentleman " resid-
ing near Rockville, to the effect that, by rea-
son of some misunderstanding which occur
red some years ago between Col. Schley and
his brother, that the former had rendered
himself distasteful to the Democrats in his
section, and that all through Montgomery
county, Democrats are fully determined to
use their efforts against Mr. Schley and that
his defeat is almost certain.
The whole statement is nothing more or
less than flimsy campaign lie, that charac-
ter Of political sensationalism which consti.
tutes the Ameriedn's stock in trade. The
idea that any estrangement which may have
arisen between Col. Schlcy and his brother
some ten or fifteen years since, would rem.
der Col. Schley distastefu to the Democrats
of his district is as silly as we know his
statement Of the disaffection of Democrats
in this county, 10 be malicious and false.
II has been many years since the Democ.
racy of this county were more thoroughly
aroused and united, or more determined in
the election Of their congressional candidate
than they are in the case of Colonel Schley
They are not only anxious and determined e
restore the district, but they deeply feel and
realize the importance Of substantial ma.
jority in the popular branch of Congress
The utmost harmony prevails in our rank S
and every day brings US the most encourag-
ing news from all parts Of the county Of tho
enthusiasm that prevails over the nomina.
ton Of Col Schley Those who profess 10
be judges of the popular pulse, assert that
Col. Schley's majority over Urner will range
between six and eighthundred. This inlor.

.S0HTHERN WAR CLALMS

The Republican press and speakers have,
from the very INCEPTION of the present cam
paign, claimed that one of the fundamental
principles Of the Democratic party is the
payment of Southern War Claims" They
have harped upon this silly subject until
it has become nuisance, and Theodore
Cook, Esq, of Cincinnati, addressed letter
to General Hancock, asking him as the head
representative of the party, what he thought
of such "War Claims" In reply, speaking
for his party and himself, has given that
falsehood the quietus it deserves and placed
it upon the shelf with the Surratt lies and
the garbled reports of Order No 40. The
correspondence is as follows:
CINCINNATI, Sept 90, 1880.
Gen. W. s. Hancock, GO0ernOr'S Island, ". Y.
DEAR SIR Il inclose slips cut from the
Gazette and Commercial, of this city, both Of
them newspapers Of large circulation and
influence in Ohio and Indiana, referring, as
you will see, TO the much harped upon
subject in our politics of "Rebel Claims. y
The Republican newspapers and stump
speakers are constantly asserting that if you
are elected President the claims of the dis
loyal people of the South for losses sustained
in the war, will be allowed and paid by the
United States. They further direct special
attention to the fact that this charge has been
made against the Democratic party and that
you, its candidate for President, have not
denied it. This warfare is made in all seri-
business and maintained with great earnest
ness, and repeated day after day in the press
and in speeches. You are known to the
country as frank, honest soldier, now the
representative of the Democratic party, and
having the right to speak for it. Whatever
you may say the people will hear and be-
lieve: | submit the matter to your good
judgment as to what you should say, OF
whether you should make any public utter
ance at all. Very respectfully yours,
THEODORE Cook.

purposes is far from being uncommon. Men,
naturally good, have yielded to it in all
times and in all countries where there is a
party unprincipled enough to demand it and
strong enough TO reward it. But Gen. Gar
fields public career furnishes more striking
examples of il than the history Of any indi-
vidual have known. a
Thisi certainly strong language and must
have great weight with the people, since it
emanates from one of such vast experience
and such profound learning, from one who
has made the theory and practice of govern
ment the study of a life time, and whose
best energies of heart and mind have been
given in the support of the institutions of
his country and the political material and
social advancement of the people. In Judge
Blacks criticism upon Mr.. Garfield, we be-
hold man, who in the defence and success
of party, is deferred by no difficulties, daunt-
cd by no dangers, regardless alike of private
honor and public faith; we behold man of
consummate abilities welding unlimited
powers for the purposes of individual adj
vancement straining national resources for
the fostering general corruption destroying
the hopes of future generations in the indul-
gence of the present, constantly speaking of
disinterested virtue and never practicing it,
perpetually appealing to the generous af-
fections, and ever guided by the selfish, ever
lastingly condemning want of truth in Others
yet daily promulgating falsehoods among
the people with as little hesitation as he has
committed those crimes which have black
ened his public life.
Judge Black continues by declaring that
Mr. Tilden was elected in 1876, and that
false return was the only resource against
him. Gen. Garfield proceeded to Louisiana,
finding that Tilden electors had been duly
appointed lent himself to the most impudent
and unmitigated fraud in order to count that
State for Hayes.
Judge Black concludes his letter in the
following pointed words:
Iregret sincerely that Gen. Garfield is q
candidate or that he should be placed in any
position which calls for criticism on his con-
duct as a public man. But | have said
nothing that will be new to him, for in many
forms, at many times, in sundry ways, pub
licly and privately, l have given this same
construction of his acts and exhorted him TO
come out from the evil and corrupt fellow
ship which drags him down while it pretends
to elevate him.
hope that on all issues the friends of lib
erty and justice and law and honest govern
ment will make themselves heard by the
Nation so clearly that at the next election the
popular condemnation of the anti-Constitu-
tional faction will be overwhelming. N the
mean time let us watch.as well as pray that
the country be not swindled again.

A Weak Congressman.

The Sixth Congressional District is very
little known beyond our own State, and
when Mr.. Urner succeeded Mr. Walsh in
Congress, the district had only been distin-
guished through our representative. Com
ing into Congress with over 1900 majority,
and the members not being familiar with
the divisions in the Democratic party here,
they supposed Mr.. Urner was gentleman
of fine attainments, learned in the law and
in craftsmanship, versed in the political
needs of the country, popular with his con-
stituency, affable in manners, courteous to
his acquaintance, intuitvely gentlemanly,
and we'll qualified for the position to which
he had been elected. Yet Republican Con-
gressmen never made mere egregious blum
der, and no member ever fell so short of pub
lie estimate.
When Congress assembled Mr.. Urner was
flattered by his fellow Republican associates,
who yielded the floor that he might be heard;
he was met with hearty welcome at the
White House on all occasions, and made a
lion of by politicians. This lasted for about
three months, after which but little was heard
of Mr.. Urner His mental calibre had been
measured his littleness was soon made
known, and the cause of his election was
generally understood. II is an open secret
that at the late convention which renomi-
mated him, notwithstanding the custom to
give a Congressman second term, the Sc
lection of another man was seriously con-
templated and would have been carried out
>5ltfor fear of the effect upon the party in
Frederick county. Mr.. Urner's friends in
Frederick demanded his Endorsement by a
denomination, and TO keep their party to-
gether opposing candidates We're withdrawn
But, to all intents and purposes, Mr. Urner
is dead politician. He has been weighed
and found light-yery light Even should
he be reelected he will be used by his tel-
lows to cast his vote and will never be Sc
lected to lead.
We do not apprehend, however, that Mr.
Urner will be a trouble to the next Congress
1t is utterly impossible 10 get up enthusiasm
for him, and in his own county he will lose
1000 votes which he received two years ago,
and in every quarter in this county we can
put our finger on men who voted for him
two years ago, but are now supporting Col.
Schley The finger points 10 the Colonel
clearly as our next Congressman, and by Il
good round majority at that Mr.. Urner
will be permitted to turn from the turmoils
of political life and retire to that seclusion
from which it is a pity he was ever called

GOVERNORS ISLAND,
New York, SEPT. 90, 1880.
Theodore Cook, Eaq., Cincinnati, Olio

TO Theodore Cook, Esq, Cincinnati, Ollie:
DEAR SIR Your letter of the Goth in
slant has been received. l regret that you
are disturbed about the effect of that bug
bear, southern War Claims" The people
cannot be misled by it. To suppose that
"rebel claims" or claims in the interest of
persons who were in the Rebellion, can in
any way or in any degree be countenanced
is an imputation of disloyalty such as used
to be made against the Democrats, even when
they were in arms defending the country.
So far as it touches me, | denounce it. The
Government can never pay debt or grant
pension or reward OF any sort for Waging
war upon its own existence. Nor could
be induced to approve or encourage the pay
ment of such debt, pension or reward. No
body expects or wants such unnatural &C
ton, and, to propose it, would be an insult
TO the intelligence and honor of our people.
When the rebellion was crushed the heresy
of secession in every form, and in every in
cident, went down forever 1t is thing Of
the dead past Wemove forward, not back
ward If | were President would veto all
| legislation which might come before me pro-
viding for the consideration or payment of
claims Of any kind for losses or damages by
persons who were in the rebellion, whether
pardoned or not In relation to "Union
! War Claims" the Governments obligations
to its defenders come first, they are lasting
and sacred. The public laws of civilized
nations do not, in general, recognize claims
for injuries to property resulting from the
| operations of war Nevertheless our Gov
eminent has treated with great indulgence
the claims for losses and damages suffered
! by Union men from the military operations
| of the war for the Union. But as hostilities
were closed more than fifteen years ago,
claims of that nature are now mostly in the
hands Of brokers or persons other than the
original sufferers, are becoming stale, and,
in my judgment, might fairly be considered
as barred by the lapse Of time, and, if here
after entertained at all, should be subjected
to the strictest scrutiny
Yours, very truly,
