When and why Mr.. Gar field Re
turned His Back Pay.
IErom the n Y. Sun. [

BY several esteemed friends, Repub-
licans and Democrats, we have been
asked to examine the circumsta noes
under which Mr.. Garfield covered into
the Treasury the amount of his back
pay soon after the salary grab of March,
1873.
Mr.. Garfield's share of the spoils OF
that embezzlemeut amounted to S4, ,458.
Although he had been more response
BILE than any other Congressman for the
pa ssage of the retroactive act, as the
Sun has shown by a review of his
course at the time, and although the
money thus shamefully gained came
into his possession, it is true that he
did not keep it long. While secretly
conniving at the grab, and using his
position as Chairman on Appropria-
tions to defeat all opposition to the
scheme, he pretended to regard the
proposed steal with adherence. At
ter he disgorged, he pretended that the
act of restoration was a virtuOus
one, inspired by conscientious mo-
tives.
We take it for granted, therefore,
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1880-07-22

With such men as Forney and Pear
son coming squarely out in the support
of the Democratic ticket, with the
Camerons skulking and the other Re
publican leaders lukewarm in support
of Garfield, it is not surprising that the
Republican canvass opens feebly in
Pennsylvania, and that the party is
demoralized. On the other hand the
Democrats are aggressive and active,
and are about to inaugurate brilliant
canvass, with well grounded hopes of
the State.
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1880-07-22

According to the Cincinnati CONNER
ciat the Hancock men spent less in
support of their candidate before the
Democratic National Convention than
those ofany other prominent candidate.
The amounts spent by several leading
candidates, including rent, refresh
ments, music, hotel bills, pamphlets,
ETC., were $4,000, $4,000, $4,000 and
$50, 900 respectively. All these togeth-
er will amount to considerably less
than the sums spent either by the
Grant, Sherman or Blaine men at Chi
cagO.
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1880-07-22

John Sherman has a profound con-
viction that his support from Ohio at
Chicago was not honest and true. In
a recent interview with "Gath" be said
Foster had the eVice-Presidential bee in
his bonnet, and wanted to get on the
ticket with Blaine. After Garfield was
suggested Foster went to his support,
with view to secure the Senatorship
in the event that Garfield was elected
President. Mr.. Sherman is not dis
posed to forget or forgive either Gar
field or Foster, and need not be ex-
pected to take prominent part in the
canvass.
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1880-07-22

While the writer does not pretend that there
Is anything particularly prophetic In this, Il 10
certainly singular coincidence. II Il needed
any strengthening might state that In 1875
was an editorial witer on the Pittsburgh Post,
and taking the names of Samuel J. Tilden and
Rutherford B. Hayes and applying the same
rule as above resulted: Tilden, 203; Hayes,
166. The electoral vote was divided between
the two candidates in exactly that proportion.
The Republican conspirators, visiting states
men, and S-to Z Electoral Commission, stole 8
votes in Louisiana, z ia South Carolina, aud 4
in Florida, so as to make the count stand 1856
for Hayes and 1S4 for Tilden.
The figures appeared I'm the Post and other
papers in 1876. and were extensively repub-
lished. 1t remains to be seen whether veri-
fcation of the some singular coincidence OF
figures viii follow in 1850, and whether the Re-
publican leaders will undertake TO steal 81 cleo
toral votes from Hancock in 1880, % they stole
10 from Tilden in 1875. w. A. TAILOR.

1t is noted by some Of the Republi-
can papers as surprising fact THAT
the census of the interior of the older
Western States-Ohio, Indiana, Michi-
gan, Illinois and Wisconsin-show a
decrease of population as compared
with the census of 1870. The South
was expecteu. to make poor showing,
and many political calculations were
based thereon, but it is the West that
has stood still, comparatively speaking.
This is accounted for by the mania of
the past few years for moving into the
new States and Territories further
west.
