The only Republican Preferential candidate

Senator Edmunds, and added to the disap.

for candidate Phelps. If this feeling
was only local in Bennington county, it would
not call for the dignity of recognition, but l

prominence to figure on senatorial district

there had been decided change in public SEN
timent in this hitherto conservative State dur

Hancock, he continued, has worn off a few of
the sharp points of the hatred of Democrats

some interviews which occurred during the
investigation with Cakes Ames. General
Garfield becnme very nervous over some
rumors he had heard as TO Ames' testimony
which led 10 correspondence between them
and to a subsequent interview, and desire
to call especal attention to this interview. 1t
will be remembered that Cakes Ames in hts
testimony had produced a teitaIe Inemorar-
dunn made by General Garfield in his own
handwriting, showing, as Ames claimed, how
he had made out his claim for profits due on
his stock. General Garfield could not deny
his own handwriting, and he was compelled,
therefore, to give some explanation of this
memorandum, which he did. here insert
his own language in the pamphlet, pages
twenty and twenty-one:
Before left his room, however, be said he
had some memoranda which seemed to indicate
that the money had of him was on account
of stock, and asked me if he did not some
time Ia 1868, deliver to me statement to that
effect. told him if he had any account of
that sort WAS neither aware of it nor respon-
sible for it, and thereupon made substan-
TALLY the following statement:

to me Of this proposed sale of stock, you fig.

as the amounts you expected to realize
while saying this to Mr.. Ames, | wrote
the figures az aooye on q piece Of paper
lying on bis table to show him what the only
statement was he had ever made to me. II is
totally false that these figures had any other
meaning than that / have here given, nor did
l say anything out Of which could be fabri-
Gated such statement as appears on pages
S5S. $50.
This may be very good answer to the
charge that Mr.. Garfield presented these
figures as claim for profits due him on the
stock, but 1t is fearfully damaging testimony
when he comes to deny that he knew where
the profits OF the Credit Mobilier stock were
to come from. he had sworn he did not
know whence the profits were to come. He
had told Mr.. j. 8. Black he did not know
whence they were to coma. And yet his
friend Hinsdale says: eYou gave me a
detailed statement of your affairs and con-
cluded by saying you had some stock
offered you which, il you bought it, would
make you some moneys" and lastly, here ne
comes and admits that when MIR Ames first
offered him the stock in 1868 he figured
out to him on little piece Of paper what
would be realized from an Investment of
1000 in Credit Mobilier stock. Ames says
Garfield made these figures to show he had
not been paid enough. Garfield denies this
but admits he made them to show that he
understood exactly what the stock was ex-
pected to be worth and that he understood
this from the beginning.
In order to show that he did not under
stand the Credit Mobiiier he took great care
to tell what Train had said to him about its
being scheme to buy lots and build houses
on the Pacific railroad. How then could he
make figures that showed so accurately the
exact enterprise as Ames represented it? Ii
was impossible to state so accurately the
profits on housebuilding. When denying
one charge he says:
s'When, in the winter of 1867-68 Mr.. Ames
proposed to sell me some of the stock regard
ed ii as mere repetition of the offer made by
Mr.. Train more than a year before. The com.
pany was the same and the amount offered me
| was the same. Mr.. Ames knew it had former
| ly been offered me, for had then asked him
| his opinion of such an investment; and having
| understood the objects of the company, g:
stated by Mr.. Train, did not inquire furth
or on that point"
When denying another he says in the
| same pamphlet:
"Mr. Ames, the only memorandum you eve
| showed me was in 1S67-6S, when speaking t.
| me of this proposed sale of stock you fig
| ured out on a little piece of paper what y0r

distinctly from the circumstances that gave
rise to it. Having been intimately acquainted
with you for twelve or fifteen years, and having
had considerable knowledge of your pecu-
mary effairs asked you how you were getting
to reduce your debts. In reply you gave me
detailed statement of your affairs, and con-

you which, if you bought it, would probably

LIST us look next at the great question in
the case. Did General Garfield "know of
the arrangements out of which the profits
would Gomez" He says be did not; and his
friends say he is a big, oyergrown, innocent
nov, who was taken in by shrewd, sharp
Yankee.

General Garfield says on page eight of his
pamphlet: "WheD, in the winter of 1S67-6S,
Mr.. Ames proposed to sell me some of the
stock, regarded it as mere repetition of
the offer made by Mr.. Train more than a
year before. The company was the same.
MIR. Ames knew it had formerly been offered
me, for had then asked him his opinion of
such an investment; and having understood
the objects of the company, as stated by
Mr. Train, ] did not inquire further on that
point.''
Now, was this true ? On the answer to
this depends the whole defense. If We look
a little further into the pamphlet, where he
ia discussing another subject. think We
shall find that he fatty contradicts himself
on this point.

We want your trade. You want our

we have won it, we shall have one means

Mr.. Corwin was at that time quite stout,
and his clean shaver swarthy cheeks
hung flabbily in folds when his features
were in repose. But when he spoke
every portion of his wonderful face was
in expressive motion, from his forehead
to his chin, inclusive. He possessed a
rollicking, jovial voice, indicative of a
large volume of vitality, and he never,
for an instant, lost his temper in debate.
The secret of his power consisted in the
persistency with which he forced his con-
victions upon the Senate. To his own
mind those convictions were very clear.
and to make others believe them he re-
sorted to every fair and sometimes to un-
fair means. His humorous anecdotes
were so many arguments, and the laugh
they raised became force in the direc-
ton he was leading the Senate.

THE STORE AND THE TRADE.

A st:dy Of this ground plan, incom-
plete as it is, will give you better idea
Of the store, and of what is in it, than de
scription can do. The store covers ri
acres basement is under, and galleries
are over, a part. The whole affords
somewhere about acres of room.
This particular business is 4 years old;
it began in 1876 with clothing; in 1877
itbecame a general store with such goods
as you see in the plan, with carpets, up
holstcry, furniture, and kitchen-furnishing
upstairs. Since that time gallery after
gallery has been added and there is
not an inch of room to spare anywhere.
To the surprise of many, it has hourisbcd
while trade was languishing almost
everywhere else.
TO us there is no mystery about it;
nothing surprising even; unless it be
surprising that SO conspicuous a business
should ever be misunderstood. We do
nothing more than simply to provide
facilities for your getting what you want.
We don't mean to say that other
facilities arc not provided for distributing
goods; but that's different thing.
We provide so that you get what you
want, exactly 7Qhaf Jon acwnf! In the
first place we've got it. In the second
place we send it. And if we send you
