A DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER ON
THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE. The
Bdlttnloredn, staunch Democratic
newspaper, in its issue of last week
referring editorially to the Chicago
convention, has the following 10 say
of the ticket:
"Of the ticket that has been put in
the field, many opinions have been
expressed, but the general impression
seems to be that all things consider
ed, it is strong one. Undoubtedly
Mr.. Garfield Will run much better
than either Gen. Grant or Mr.. Blaine
would have done. He can count on
the united support of the party, and
all its different elements will natur-
ally and easily come together again
under his leadership. He is, more
over, man of decided ability, and
though there are dark spots on his
record. the character of his private
career is such as is likely to create a
certain sympathy for and with him
in the popular heart. A man who
has bravely fought his way up from
poverty and obscurity to position of
the greatest prominence by the un-
aided efforts of his own talents and
industry will always have strong
hold upon the popular heart, and Mr..
Garfield will run all the better for the
fact that he has hewn out his own
path in the world with his own
hands,
The "dark spots" referred to by
our contemporary are only such as
are eagerly taken hold of and magni-
fed by Democratic newspapers to
smirch the coed name of man
whose character is as spotless as that
of any statesman in the land, and are
colored for the purpose of making
political capital for his opponent. The
alleged "dark spots' on Gen. Gar
fields character are these only of
Democratic creation and will in the
end have no effect on his prospects
for election next November. The
Democrats who have for years sat in
Congress with Gen. Garfield know
him to be pure man, and recognize
in him a most valiant and dangerous
foeman.

The Democratic mud throwers are
only soiling their own hands by their
attempts to fling the old dirt at the
Republican candidate which failed TO
stick when they first threw it years
ago. They will not succeed in con-
vincing the country that the man
who has nine times been elected to
Congress by the people Of one of the
most intelligent districts in the Uni
ted States is dishonest. A sufficient
answer to all their charges is found
in the fact that, after twenty two
years Of arduous public service Gen l..
eral GarfeId's entire property cons
sists of his home in Washington and
his farm in Ohio, worth together
about $4,000. Let the Democrats
nominate one of their millionaire
lawyers or railroad rreckers and go
to the people if they dare on the

The returns from Oregon are much
fuller even than they have been
hitherto reported. The Chairman of
the Oregon Republican State Central
Committee telegraphs that the ma
jority on the State ticket is two
thousand, the largest Republican ma
jority ever given in that State. The
Republicans have majority of five
on joint ballot in the legislature.
which insures the election of Uni.
ted States senator to succeed Grover,
whose term will expire on the
4th day of March, 1888. George c..
Gorham, one of the most disappoint-
ed of the Grant leaders, will start
soon for California to work cheerful
ly, he says, for Garfield and Arthur.
Referring to the alleged popularity
of Justice Field on the Pacific coast,
Mr.. German says that Garfield could
beat him without any possible doubt.
as whatever may be Justice Fields
views on the Chinese question, he is
closely allied to monopolies, which
are hated on that coast.

LETTER OF JUDGE BLACK.

~ LETTER OF j OOGE BLACh.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. Is, 1873.
Hon. J. G. Blaine, Speaker Of the
House Of Representatives
My DEAR SIR From the Begin
ming of the investigation concerning
Mr.. Ames' use of the Credit Nobel
Ter | believed that General Garfield
was free from all guilty connection
with that business. This opinion was
founded not merely on my confidence
in his integrity, but on some especial
knowledge of his case. / may have
told you all about it in conversation,
but | desire now to repeat it by way
Of reminder.
| assert unhesitatingly that what
ever General Garfield may have done
or forborne to do he acted in pro-
found ignorance of the nature and
character of the thing which Mr..
Ames was proposing to sell. He had
not the slightest suspicion that he
was to be taken into ring 0rganiza
ton for hepurpose of defrauding the
public, nor did he know that the
stock was in any manner connected
with anything which came or could
come, within the legislative jurisdic-
ton of Congress. The case against
him lacks the scienter which alone
constitutes guilt.
In the winter of 1869-70 told Gen.
Garfield of the fact that his name was
OH Ames' list that Ames charged
him with being one of his distribu-
tee ; explained to him the character,
origin and objects of the Credit Mo-
Deler f; pointed out the connection il
had with Congt essionai legislation,
and showed him how impossible it
was for member of Congress to hold
stock in it without bringing his pri-
vate interests in conflict with his pub
lie duty. That all this was to him
perfectly new revelation am as sure
as / can be of such a fact, or of any
fact which is capable of being proven
only by moral circumstances He
told me then the whole story Of
Trains offer to him and Ames' sub
sequent solicitation and his own ac-
ton in the premises, much as he de-
tails it to the committee. | do not
undertake to reproduce the conyer-
sation, but the effect OF it all was to
convince me thoroughly that when
he listened to Ames he was perfectly
unconscious of anything evil. |
watched carefully every word that
fell from him on this point. and did
not regard his narrative of the trass-
action in other respects with much
interest, because in MY view every
thing else was insignificant. | did
not care whether he had made a bar
gain technically binding or not his
integrity depended upon the CUES
ton whether he acted with his eyes
open. If he had known the true
character of the proposition ma1e to
him he would not have endured it,
much less embraced it.
Now, couple this with Mr.. Ames'
admission that he gave no explana-
ton whatever of the matter to Gen.
Garfield. then reflect that not a part
icle eli proof exists to show that he
learned anything about it previous to-
his conversation with me, and /
thing you will say thatit is altogeth-
err unjust to put him on the list of
those who knowingly and willfully
joined the fraudulent association in
question.
