acts of said board nor the United States
liable for the debts created thereby, when
in truth and in fact, as he then we'll knew,
the said board of public works and the

and Instruments of Congress and the
United States was responsible for the in
debtedness by them created.
Tenth. That we arraign him for gross
dereliction Of duty as a member of con-

pose the corruption and abuse in the sale
of post traderships, for which the late Sec
retary Belknap was impeached, when the
same was brought to his knowledge by
General Hazen in 1872, and can only ac-
count for it upon the supposition that his

IN THE HOME OF HIS FRIENDS.

Resolutions of Garfield's Republican Con-
stituents.
Resolutions of Warren (O) Republican Con-
vcntiOn, September 7, 1876.
Fourth. That there is no man to-day
officially connected with the administra-
whom are Justly preferred more and
graver charges of corruption than are pub
licly made and abundantly sustained
against James A. Garfield, the present
representative of this congressional dis
trict and the nominee of the Republican
convention for reelection.
Fifth. That since he first entered Con-
gress to this day there is scarcely an in
stance in which rings and monopolies have
been arrayed against the interests of the
people that he has been found active in
speech or vote upon the side of the latter,
but in almost every case he has been the
ready champion of the rings and monopo-
lies.
Sixth. That we especially charge him
with venality and cowardice in permitting
BENJAMIN H. Butler to attach to the ap-
preparation bill of 1878 that ever-to -be-re-
membered infamy the salary steal, and in
speaking and voting for that measure upon
its final passage. And charge him with
corrupt disregard of the clearly expressed
demand of his constituents that he should
vote for its repeal and with evading said
demand by voting for the Hutchins on
amendment.
Seventh. That we further arraign and
denounce him for his corrupt connection
with the Credit Mobilier, for his false de-
NAL thereof before his constituents, for his
perjured denial thereof before a committee
of his peers in Congress, for fraud upon
his constituents in circulating among them
a pamphlet purpOrting to set forth the
finding of said committee and the evidence
against him, when in fact material por-
tions thereof were omitted and garbled.
Eighth. That we further arraign and
charge him with corrupt bribery in selling
his official influence as chairman of the
committee on appropriations for So, 600 to
the DeGolyer pavement ring, to aid them
in securing contract from the board of
public works of the District of Columbia
selling his influence to aid said ring in i'm
posing upon the people of said district a
pavement which is almost worthless, at a
price three times its cost, as sworn to by
one of the contractors !; selling his intlu-
ence to aid said ring in procuring con-
tract, to procure which it corruptly paid
$97, 600 "for influence - selling his influ-
ence in matter that involved no questit n
of law, upon the shallow pretext that he
was acting as a lawyer selling his influ-
ence in manner so palpable and clear as
to be so found and declared by an impair
tial and competent court upon an issue SOL
emnly tried.
Ninth. That we arraign him for the
fraudulent manner in which he attempted,
in his speech delivered at Warren on the
10th day of September, 1874, to shield
himself from just censure in receiving the
before-named 81, 900, by falsely represent
ing in said speech that the Congress of the !
United States were not responsible for the

Hard to Please.

The newspapers which essay to ostisma-
tie HoratiO Seymour as the Great
Decliner" because he protests an unwil-
lingness which they do not doubt that he
entertains, to accept the presidency,
speak with little wit or wisdom. 1t has
got to be the habit of many journalists to
to believe that it is high misdemeanor
for any citizen to refrain from answering
any questions which IN interviewer may
put to him. Many regard men 5 opinions
as public property and insist upon their
publication on demand. The public have
no such right. No one can properly de-
mand of Mr.. Seymour that he shall say
whether or no he will accept the presl-
Dental nomination until it is rendered
to him. Men who decline Office in ad-
vance of it's tender, are criticised by the
very journalists who stand ready to de-
nounce them if they refuse to give an
explicit answer to a reporter who is CON-
missioned by them to ask the imperti-
nent question. When Mr.. Seymour
SAYS he does not want the nOmi-
nation, and furthermore declares
that his age and health make
it his duty to himself to decline it, he is
denounced by the men who solicit this
information, as chronic decliner, who
will not stick to his declination at every
hazard: when the fact is that if Mr..
Seymour accepts the Democratic nomi-
nation against his will it will be all act
of virtue and self-sacrifice prompted by
his willingness to yield his own wish in
the interest of the public as declared by
the Democratic convention. a selfish
man would not do this; he would not
take what he did not want; and those
who really believe that Mr.. Seymour is
honest in his declination for public office
should give him praise rather than blame
if he permits his own desire to he sacri
feed to the demand of his party.
