MR.. ENGLISH'S MORTGAGES
From the Nation

One of the principal campaign stories
Of the week is that Mr.. English has, during
the past three or four years, foreclosed a
considerable number OF mortgages in lndi-
ana to recover payment or small loans.
This discovery was made by the Cincinnati
Commercial, and many Of our esteemed Re
publican contemporaries seem 10 think It
very valuable one Some of them have
given up nearly whole page to the list OF
foreclosures. Mr.. English seems, like
many other men, TO be in the habit Of in
vestiug considerable sums on mortgage,
which is usually considered a business
transaction, the object Of the
martgage being to enable the
creditor to get his money back IN case
the interest is not paid. But the esteemed
Republican contemporaries seem to think
that the mortgage is something which is
drawn up either for fun or TO save the
debtors dignity, and which no creditor fit
to be vice-president would think
of taking seriously So when
Mr.. English treats his mortgage
as real security and enforces it, they de-
nounce him as humbug and hypocrite,
and las no poor mans friend This is a
sorry business for a paper like the Cincin-
natl Commercial to take up, and would be
much better suited TO Dennis Kearney's or
organ. When the editor takes mortgage
we wonder what he does with It.

without authority Of law. as partisan.
He went there TO assist his party in making
up case. and after his return to Washing
ton, of all his associates he was the only
man who took his seat upon the electoral
commission. BY every sentiment of fair
play he should have been excluded from
the jury box. BY his own sworn statement
of what he did in New Orleans, Garfield
had charge Of the returns from

inner rooms Of packard's custom house he
did his work, examined the afiidavits, and
