since the October election of from five TO
twenty FIVE per cent Gen. Garfield has
been before the country as a legislator for
eighteen years. and in that time has held
high positions in the counsels of the
party on ali questions of political policy.
He has been sound on all IF these, and
especially so on the finance issues of TIER
various phases. When Others have doubt
ed, he has been firmly in favor Of the pol
icy of an carly resumption and rigidly
opposed to Initiation and every species Of
qusck financial legislation. Thele is no
question abou. his position on these or
any other great public question, past,
present or prospective. He has made his
record, and by it the country judges him;
hence the confidence manifested by the
buoyancy Of the market and the general
satisfaction with which the result has
been received by business men without
regard to party, with the exception Of the
Office seeking element, throughout tho

No class will give more heartfelt praise
for the great victory of the Republican
party than the millions of poor, Cypress
cd black people of the South. If the
party does not deserve this gratitude by
acts during the next four years of its eX-
istence, then its broad humanity is mis-
taken. The party must and will demon
s'ratc that no man is so humble or poor,
whether white or black, that his voice
will not be heard and his wrongs redress
Ell by every legal method. 1t is their
right to ask and demand; it should be the
pleasure ever OF the strong to respond to
the call of the weak and helpless.
