rescuing himself, but not without
his being considerably scorched, and
ia the meantime the flames sought
other objects of prey, when Mr.
John Yates, who was in the drug
store heard the Doctors cal for as.
eiatanee, went down aud took part.
They smothered the flames as well
as they could with blankets, but the
suiiocating smoke compelled them to
withdraw and give the alarm.
1t is miracle to all that the fire

are so many common combustibles,
there's no checking it.
This undoubtedly was the narrow.

While the bill to create the Electoral
Commission was pending in the House
Mr., Garfield made a great speech
against it upon the sole ground that it
compelled an investigation of the Re
turning Board frauds, compelled the
Commission to go behind the returns.
But the bill passed, and General Gar
field became member of the Commits
sion, and took this solemn oath: r.
"I, James A. Garfield, do soIenrnly
sl0ear that l wH impartialy examine and
consider all questions submitted to the Conn

the Commission was created to do--to
"examine and consider" the questions
of fraud-vOted that the Commission
had to be deaf, blind aud dumb, could
not go behind the returns-and, in fact,
could examine nothing, could consider
nothing, except to count in Hayes.

81 have no sort of sympathy with
the Republican party because of that
act, and because it justified and sus-
tanned it. After such an act i have
no desire to sustain the, Republican
party in any way. I would not vote
for a party that would carry through
such a fraud. think Mr.. Hayes was
elected by a fraud, and do not mean
to have it said that at the next election
had forgotten it. l do not say that
Mr.. Hayes committed the fraud, but it
was committed by his party. 1 have
no enmity to Mr.. Hayes, but after the
fraud by which he became President
could not vote for any person put for
President on the Republican side who
did not disavOw the fraud committed.
1 would not support any member of
that party who mad any sort of mix
ture with that fraud. 1 feel that the
counting in of Mr.. Hayes is just as
much a fraud now as it was at the time
it was perpstrated.
