1t is true that Gen. Garfield was assigned
S2,00 of the stock Of the Credit Mobiher; ii
is true he received some 3iridends upon his in
restment, but there is nothing in the transac-
ton which impeaches his integrity Wash
angion National Republican, (Rep).
Yet General Garfield testified on oath
before the investigating committee as
follows:
Mr.. Ames never gave nor offered to give
me any stock or other valuable thing as a
gift. l once asked and obtained from him,
and afterwards repaid to him, loan of $500 /;
that amount is the only valuable thing ever
received from or delivered to him. / never
owned, received, or agreed to receive any
stock Of the Credit Mobelier or of the Union
Pacific railroad, nor any dividends or profits
arising from either of them.
The Poland Committee after this
reported;
The facts in regard to Mr.. Garfield, as found
by the committee,are that he agreed with Mr.,
Ames to take ten shares Of Credit Mobilier
stock, but did not pay for the same. Mr.
Ames received the so per cent. dividend in
bonds, and sold them for 81 per cent, and
also received the go per cent cash dividend,
which, together with the price of the stock
and interest, left a balance of 1929. This
bum was pau ONtI " DN u Cntth
on the Sergeant-at-Arms, and Mr.. Garfield
then understood this sum icds the balance Of
diuide'ds after paying for The stock.
How can these conflicting statements be
reconciled !? How can men declare that
calling attention to historical facts is
mud throwing" and unfounded abuse ?
These are questions which honest men
put to themselves and they will do we'll to
bear in mind that the most important
| question is as to whether or not General
Garfield testified falsely or not.
1t is not pleasant, of course, for those
who expect to support Gen. Garfield to
have these ugly facts set forth and we pre-.
sumo it is impossible for the more ardent
among them to avoid feeling anger on that
account, but we submit in all calmness
and fairness that they have no right to de.
nounce the presentation OF the conflicting
utterances of their candidate and the
official records as falsehoods an6
calumnies II there have been any false
hoods told about General Garfield hii
supporters should expose and denounct
them but the more important question fol
them now is as to what they will do witt
the truths told about him.

THE LATEST OUTRAGE.


To TRUTH:
You are aware that 1 have been
arrested on charge that involves
the forging Of the Garfield labor let
ter.
You are also aware that 1 did not
forge it.
But the desperate politicians who
have undertaken the desperate task
of proving that l did have decided
that all the powers of the general
government shall be employed to
convict a man of a crime which he
did not commit.
During the past few days 1 have
been threatened, cajoled, argued
with, and approached" The OBJ
ject was to make me "confess" to
what never did.
To my friends 1 have nothing to
say. They will know how to judge
this case. To my enemies, have
to say that l shall not forget them
To the great public, before whose
gaze 1 have been displayed as for
ger, l have only to say that the tre-
mendous principle involved as con
corning the people in this politica
prosecution Far outweighs, in my owl
mind, all consequences that ma,
befall EDWARD PHILIP.

LETTER FROM SAMUEL TOWN
SEND.

For the Gazette.
To the Democrats of the different
Hundreds OF this County, l call your
particular attention to the list of ne
groes who have been convicted of fel-
ony, and therefore, in this State, dis
fraDchised and cannot vote. Kent
county has her list made out again
this year, as she does every year, with
the county seal and the Clerk Of the
Peace, Robert Raughley's name sign
ed. There is list from the Clerk of
the Peace Of this county, but not full
or properly made out, sealed and
written signature of the clerk to it. A
perfect one should be made at once,
and by looking carefully over Kent and
New Castle, for felons emigrate
from Kent and Sussex up to this couu-
ty, beside what break the law here
l think, no doubt, there is at least
from two hundred TO two hundred and
fifty Of such negro fellows in New
Caste County that will try to vote,
therefore, lists should be made out al
once for each Hundred, and put into
the challengers' hands, to look out foi
said fellows when they attempt tc
vote. We find in this Hundred as may
such fellows that have emigrated from
Kent, as have been convicted at New
Castle. l hope the hint l here Civ
| you will be sufficient.
