MCMAHON ACCEPTS.

TO h Democratic and Indie.
pendent Voters of the Fourth
Congressional District of
Ohio:
In face of the fact that I publicly
announced my determination, one
year ago, to decline a denomination
to Congress, and persisted in such
d~eclination up to the meeting of the
recent Democratic Convention-for-
mally and positively declining a
nomination made by it by acclama-
tion-that Convention refused to
crafty my wish to retire from polit-
ical life, and adjourned without tax
ing any further action, leaving my
name to remain before the public as
O candidate for reelection TO Con-
gress. From information that has
reached me from many sources / am
satisfied that any action I might take
to withdraw from its present posi-
ton would be unsuccessful, and that
the attempt would only lead to con-
fusion in the district and damage
to the general cause in the State.
Under such circumstances necessity
compels me to yield to the public
good.
I am deeply sensible of the conf
dence and esteem manifested by this
unprecedented action of my political
friends. No stronger evidence could
be given that q diligent effort to
serve a constituency had met will
success; and I am profoundly CRATE
full for this approval of my conduct
as a public servant.
The peculiar aspect which events
have given to the respective Con
gressional nominations in this Dis
trict, and which will challenge pub
lie scrutiny in the course of the can
vass, tenders an issue to every hon
est voter outside of the question:
that divide political parties, ant
more important than all of then
combined. Upon that issue-th'
right Of money to control nomina
ltions and elections-I accept tn
honor rendered me under such cir
fcumstances. and will endeavor to dis
> charge all the honorable response
bilities that such candidacy implies
If elected I shall endeavor to REP
resent the whole people of my dis
triot; to protect every national inter
est in it, as in times past; to pay prop
er attention to all individual bus
ness, and to maintain that econom
in the public service without whic
there can not be honest administra
tion. .ytfa34 Ial
With a firm reliance in the hor
esty and intelligence of the people
commit this cause into their hand.

LAOA H
Above is the opinion of q Repub-
lican editor of Mr.. Garfield in 1873,
when he was no candidate, and his
opinion in 1880, when he Is a candi-
date! It is too sublime to need COM
ment! It is a specimen of how Re-
publican editors shift and change to
deceive honest people to support
rascals for high positions. Gen.
Garfield advocated the salary grab,
voted for it and accepted his share
of the "swag." The sional
record proves it, and the simple fact
that he only returned it back to the
Treasury, after the outburst Of in
dignation of the people that follow
ed the robbery, and a request Of
hundreds of his constituents to re-
sign his seat, is no paliation for the
crime. Any ,"midnight robber" will
return his plumber after being detect
ed, if permitted to go unpublished
If the brand of "midnight robber"
on Mr.. Garfield, by the Cincinnati
Gazette in 1873, could "not be i'm
proved on" what makes him now
E'sone of the purest men of the day?'

"You have made the Custom
House a centre of partisan political
management" -Fa
On the same day;

tions under the Constitution, 1 re-

Secretary Sherman said, January
81, 1879, in a letter to Arthur: Is
"Persons have been regularly paid
by you who have rendered little or
no service; the expenses of your
Office have increased, while its re-
ceipts have diminished. Brides, or
gratuities in the shape of brides,
have been received BY your subord-
mates in several branches of the
Custom House, and you have in no
case supported the effort to correct
these abuses"
Now Hayes and Sherman both sup
port this same creature, Arthur, for
Vice President, and it is even stated
that Sherman will soon take the
stump for the man he had Hayes
kick out of the Custom House, at
New York, a little over a year ago.
This is a most revolving spectacle of
manhood and independence, and
should sink both Hayes and Sher-
man to a very low level in the esti-

and rather unite on George Quintard, or

gain strength, but rather weakens, and the

The Popularity of the Equitable Life Assurance Society,
indicated by the fact that for Eleven years its average an

Company in the world due in great measure to its we'll
known prOmpness in the payment of Death Claims and its
rule never to take advantage of techncates where an

A LETTER FROM JUDGE BULIITr, OF PADU
Cab.

A LETTER FROM JUDGE BULiITr, OF PADU-
Cab.
Editor Bulletin:
DEAR SIR am surprised to hear any
doubt expressed of the election of the Hon.
VIM. Hartzell in your congressional district,
on account Of che vast importance of the
improvement of the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers, which must be felt by every bust
ness man as we'll as all laborng men and
men of property in the district.
This improvement, if done in conformity
with the democratic idea OF the power Of
congress, will be heartily approved by
every democrat in the whole country, and
no republican who entertains the enlarged
views of his party as to the powers of con-
gress to execute internal improvement,
could possibly find any objection to an i'm
provement that would so greatly benefit
such large portion of the country.
Now, while the member from my district
Cthe Hon. Oscar Turner is perfectly alive to
the value and Importance of said improve
ment, aud will do all in his power to and z
in preparing bill on democratic ideas and
having it passed, it would be better and
more apt to insure success to
have the member from the Cairo
district Gt being the very confluence of
the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to take
charge of the bill in the house and push it
through, and fear if my friend, the Hon.
J. r. Thomas had charge of such bill, he
would permit amendments to be tackled on
to it of such objectional character to demo-
cratic ideas of the powers of congress as to
defeat the bill as many others have been
defeated.
Any proper bill for each Improvement
could be passed bya large majority, if it
could even be brought to vote on its own
merit, but because of its popularity many
efforts will be made to add to it other
measures that could never be passed by
themselves.
II therefore appears to me that every
man in your district, regardless of his
political opinions, ought to feel Interested
in the election of Hon. VIM. Hartzell and
sustain him by large majority.
hope you will pardon me for writing
you, and urging the exercise Of renewed
energy IN the election of Mr.. Hartzcll, as
you must see that feel deeply interested
in said improvement and, consequently in
his election.
am very Respectfully your obedicnt
servent. NJ. g. BuLLIrv.
