Garfield Convicts Himself.
Philadelphia Times, July 30.
F,om the New York Snn Auo

From the New York Sun, Aug. 14th, 1880.
A jobber ought to have good men,
ory, especially when he trusts to it for
defense against the charge of the Con-
gressional corruption. Mr.. Garfield pub
lished pamphlet in May, 1873, intend
ed to explain away the Credit Mobilier
facts and to make out case for himself.
He sat silent when his own figures were
produced before the committee by Oakes
Ames to contradict his sworn testimony.
He remained unmoved when the terrible
diary was brought forward, with an ex-
act account of his ten shares of Credit
Mobiller. And even when the Poland
Committee reported substantially that be
had committed perjury he did not open
his lips.
AS Congress was about to adjourn on
the Sd of March, 1873, he rose in his
place and promised future explanation.
After the Forty-second Congress had
expired and Cakes Ames was laid in his
grave, General Garfield sought his op-
portunity for an er parte vindication.-
That was his method of confronting the
most serious charges against his public
and his private character. The same
method was adopted by Schuyler Colfax,
another Christian statesman, who stood
side by side with Garfield on the plat
form at Chautauqua Lake last Sunday,
radiant with fellow feeling.
On page s of the pamphlet we read !:
"In the winter of 1S69-70 / received
the first intimation ever had of the real
nature of the connection between the
Credit Mobilier Company and the Pacific
Railroad Company, in private conver-
sation with the Hon. j. S. Black of Penn
sylvania."
This statement was made deliberately,
after surveying the whole ground care
fully for two months. On page 20 of
this pamphlet Gen. Garfield makes a
desperate effort to destroy the effect of
his own figures, which Mr.. Ames had

Why a Prominent Pennsylvania
n-Greenbacker will
Support the Democratic
Ticket

The following reasons assigned by DR..
MICHAEL STEcK, the Greenback candi.
date for Lieutenant Governor in Penn
sylvania last year, why he intends to
vote for General HANCOCK. are tersely
stated and are worthy the consideration
of every Greenback and Republican vo-
ter. He said:
81 have voted my last Republican
ticket. Though not fully in accord With
the financial plank in the Democratic
national platform, believe financial re-
form is to he anticipated at an earlier
day by the Democrats than by the party
with which I have acted since its organ
ization up to within three years. l voted
for Fremont and Lincoln, and for Grant
in 1868 and 1872. Besides there are so
many good features in the Democratic
platform, when compared with the Re-
publican, that | am at loss to know
how any man can hesitate for moment
as to his duty in the coming election
Gen. Hancock is both statesman and
soldier. Gen. Garfield, though we'll ed
ucated, is neither. Gen. Hancock is q
patriot. Gen. Garfield is nothing but a
politician, and either very corrupt one
or very ignorant man. If his course
with reference to Credit Mobilier and the
De Golyer pavement contract was not
corrupt, then be is one of the most un-
sophisticated and ignorant Of men The
success of the Democratic party next
fall means an end to sectional strife; an
end to large subsidies; an end to the
power of vast corporations; an end, for
some time to come at least, of unparal-
leled corruption; an end, it is to be
hoped. TO the power Of capitalists and
their efforts to create moneyed aris-
tocracy, and an end to legislation in fa-
vor of the few rich at the expense of the
many poor. 1t means a return to real
prosperity, and return to wise and ecc-
nomic expenditures bv our National and
State Legislatures. The success OF the
Republican party at this time means jus,
the reverse for an indefinite period, fol-
it is my sincere belief that if the party
OF bribery and corruption are successful
at the coming election it will be many
years before it will be ousted from
power, and then only after the most Sc
rious results to the country. These are
, some Of the reasons in brief why / shal
support Gen. Hancock,as well as for de
claring that had voted my last Repub
lican ticket"

EEThe Republican leaders at the
New York conference laid out the cam
paign in this wise:
BLAINE.-The issue is whether "the
men who fought the civil war shall sur
render to the men who fought against
the Union"
LoGAN.-It is whether "the loyal men
of this land who stood by her constitu-
ton and flag when the sword and flame
were applied to the temple" or "the
rebel army and the copperheads of the
North" shall have The fright to govern
this country"
SHERMAN.-It is whether "the Repub
lican party shall resign to the solid
South, headed by Wade Hampton anu
the Ku KIux Klan, and little segment
in the Northern States calling itself til,
Democratic party"
HARRIsoN.-Tt is show we win defend
Washington against the enemy that once
opposed it in arms" II these assertions
are not revival of the old sectional is
sues what are they2
Now, let US tell these agitators, for a
"boody shirt" campaign, what General
HANCOCK says:
I "The war for the Union was success
fully closed more than fifteen years ago,
"The time has come to enjoy the sub
stantial benefits of reconciliation. As
one people We have common interests.
ave are in state of profound peace
Henceforth let it be our purpose to cul
tivate sentiments of friendship and no
of animosity among our fellow citizens
"The thirteenth, fourteenth and fif
teenth amendments to the Constitution
of the United States, embodying the re
, suits OF the war for the Union, are invi
olable.
r "All classes of our people must shar,
alike in the blessings of the Union, ant
are equally concerned in its perpetuily
and in the proper administration of pub
r lie affairs" ."--Hancock's Letter of Ac
E ceptanee.
Let the people compare the utterance
of HANCOCK with those OF either Of th
four leading men in the Republican pa
ty. and then decide which are the utter
ances of man OF good hard sense ant
sound judgment. The people of tbi
country don't want war issues thrust int
this canvass, and the party that put
them forward aud advocates them, to ex
cite the passions Of men, will find, whel
election day comes, that defeat will b'
its portion.

wWhat do Republican editors think
of this idea of campaign "The man
who attempts to get up q political ex-
citement in this country on the old Sec
tional issues will find himself without
party and without support. The man
who wants to serve his country must
put himself in the line OF its leading
thought, and that is the restoration OF
business, trade, commerce, industry,
sound political economy, hard money
and honest payment Of all obligations"

says: II believe there is far less danger

than there is OF GARFIELD being used by

THE CAMPAIGN IN INDIANA.

Chairman Barnum Confident OF
Democratic SucceSs--The Position
OF Every Voter Put on Record.
New YORK, Aug. 16-In speaking of
the campaign in Indiana, Chairman Bar
mum, OF the National Committee, says:
II am not one who believes in running
a campaign on wind merely, and SO /
seldom say much; but on this subject /
know what am talking about. We
shall carry Indiana without any ques-
ton. The news / had from Indiana
was not satisfactory, and so l determin.
ed to go over the ground personally. l
did so, and the result, in my mind, is
perfectly satisfactory"
as the State well organized ?"
"You would be astonshed 70 know
how thoroughly it has been and is being
done. Mr. English is earnestly at work
He is man of great executive ability,
and he is exercising it most effectively.
He hires man for each county, who
goes 10 work as matter of business
and canvasses the county house by
house. The position of every voter is
put on record, and the information thus
obtained is simply matter of fact. In
the cities, like Indianapolis, the canvass
is made not by wards, but by blocks
One man is assigned to each block, and
makes it his business to know just the
position of every man in the block"
"How about the importation of ne
groes p
"The means which we have taken will
prevent any of that. Then beside the
colored vote will be largely neutralized
| by the white vote along the river
There has been Of late large demand
for white labor along the river and there
has been large increase in the popula-
ton in the shape Of boatmen and men
in that line of business" g.
"What do you think of the prospects
in Maine p
1.-The news from Maine is highly en-
couraging. There seems to be no rea-
son why we should not carry the State
The people there. are hard at work
They raised very large sum of money
themselves on the start, and have been
going ahead all the WHILE"

~A correspondent Of the Gazette
at Antioch writes that two gentlemen
named slime and one named MASON
have come out for GARFIELD. The
SHINES have always voted the Republi-
can ticket, and the announcement tha,
they propose voting for GARFIELD is
heralded, we presume, because it is ne
cessary to ascertain where members o
