cause they know no better and 9TH
ers because of their inherent love
for lying. They have kept it up
from the beginning of the canvass.
1t was part of their stock in trade
in Ohio and Indiana. The demo-
cratic managers there kept it up
persistently. The 1929" craze,
the midnight argument of those
who are too cowardly to make in
open daylight, originated in these
states. sa7r a-5sF
Now, what is the lesson It is,
that when a man whose life has
been pure and who has established a
life for honesty and integrity, can
not be broken down by SANDER.
The charges made against General
Garfield were made long ago and
exploded. Since they were made,
he has been endorsed time and
again by constituency which for
intelligence and morality, is the
equal of any similar community on
the continent. He met these
charges at the time they were first
made, half dozen Or more years
ago, and refuted them to the entire
satisfaction Of his friends and the
discontinue of his enemies. Since
then, he has been INDICATED by re-
election to congress at each sue.
ceeding election, by majorities as
large or larger than have been
given to any man in any congress
sional district in the union. He
has been vindicated by unanimous
nomination and election to the
United States Senate, by the re-
publicans of the Ohio legislature.
He received this without opposition,
a thing unheard of before in a
great state like Ohio.
For years, before General Gar
field was nominated for president,
not a word had been said about the
charges against him, and such ennis
nent democrats as Jere Black, Sena
tor Thurman and the editor of the
New York World had given their
testimony as to his entire innocence.
But no sooner had he received the
nomination than the "lewd fellows
! of the baser sort" in the democratic
party turned loose their food-gates
of filth upon him, and tried to make
him appear no better than peni-
Tertiary convict. They applied
such epithets as "thief" and ''per'
Ijurer" to him and gave currency tc
their false accusations through the
columns of debauched press and
by unprincipled democratic stump,
speakers. The people of indiana
have taught these fellows salutary
lesson. They have said to then
that falsehood and blackguardisn
will not win. They have told then
that good character is worth some
thing, even to a public man. It vii
exercise a good influence in tn
country. It will show our young
men that good reputation, base(
upon an unassailable character, i
worth striving for, and tina
when once established it i
bomb-proof against the assaults Q
bitter partisans and unprinciple
demagogues. 1t is good lesson.

and lawyer-lke In the good sense OF the term
