Gen. 6arReldamay understand that there

J "Mr. Hendricks offered no proof Of thl
Q charges IN the Marion speech, and has non
q since he cannot prOdace any. Tho charg
is unsupported byrany evidence worthy Q
E belief; and yet the evidence is CARTEL
IS himself. [Applause. That is harder O
J, Garfield than anything ever said. Nov
7 gentlemen this man that thus conducte
himself ia the city of New Orleans, an
helped 70 prepare the case, and helped |
!. get false return from false and PERU

= = ken by the lightning informing him an
- bis eO-conspirators as he sat in the palal
car Of the decision that they had procur,
e. in the city Of New Orleans. / know ho
y lawyer feels when his case has been sui
4. mitted. know the anxiety which driv,
ie sleep and quiet away when life crproperi
may depend upon the result made by th
I jury. But surely never expressed my
y '. self in regard TO that anxiety, as CARTEL
II did when he said they left New Orleans
d very anxious about the result, aud whe
the result came all anxiety disappcare,
!. His work was completed, and an homes
II return was defeated. He came on |
Washington, and then what do you thin
Z he did when there was bill proposed i
\ Congress---the bill that did finally pass---t
I appoint Commission composed of fv
/ members of the House and five membcr
{ Of the Senate and FIVE members Of thl
D Supreme Court, 10 hold a conference upo
7 this great issneyh When that bill wa
! pending, Garfield got up aud said, sNo, /
j mast not be, rand, here are the reason
that he gave. let me give them, in hi
own words, If can; il is in very fine prin
and difficult 70 read. Speaking Of the Bill
then pending ii Congress hosays tthis VA
on the 25th Of January; he got back Il
Washington by thei2d of December, an,
the bill came up for consideration 10 tn
House as TO whether this Commission
should be appointed 10 pass Upon the righ
Of President and VicelPrcsident, Garfield
opposing). This what Gem sGarielc
said; "This bill assumes the right O
| Congress to go down into the colleges anS
inquire into all the acts and facts connee
ted with their work. Il assumes tic righ
Of Congress 10 20 down into the States /,
review the act Of every officer, to- opel
every ballot box, aad TO- examine ever,
ballot east BY 4 900, 900 Of Americans.
That was Gar6eld's objection to the bin
that If il did pass and these fifteen mef
were appointed under the law, il would b,
their duty to 90 back Of all all'terhnicalitiei
and, returns, aud 70 ,pass upon the real factl
Of the casei % 60 into the ballot box ans
see how the votes were, and to decide th,
case upon the real truth. And after that
when the bill passed and he became one O
the fifteen he voted every time that the,
should not open the door to iaFeeliesie
bnt that the law closed the door. lie saie
that kellogg certificate and the certihcats
Of the Returning Board were stronger thar
law and the Constitution and THE judgmen
Of Congress. And his vote was the eigItl
vote against seven that decided tliat the,
should not 60 behind the Returning Board
/ lApplause. What would you think oI
me as q lawyer Il you would hear me *
press my opinion upon question Of laa
thassI had no sibnbk about il, and address
tho hoHgEeds Court aad say islwaa the lawI
