Our Bourbon cotemporary-the Stan.
dard, has made-apparently at least
quite drive at our candidate, by a quo
tation from the TELEGRAPH of March
1873 The matter quoted embraces the
resolution of the convention for the nom.
inatiOn of n delegate TO the Constitutional
Convention. Those resolutions under
the state Of feeling then entertained by
some of our Republican friends were rath-
er spicy, and reflected rather strongly, as
well as unjustly,and in one important par
ticular, not in harmony with truth, upon
our Representative. Had the proper
course been adopted of asking an explain
alton first the crudeness and injustice of
the resolutions night have taken better
and more satisfactory tone. As it is, one
Of the resolutions charged our representa-
tive with having put $4,000 in his own
pocket of the avails of the salary. grab
operation. This, we all known, has no
basis in truth. SO far from its having
come into his hands, we have the best of
authority for asserting, that it was not
only not received but no expectation was
ever entertained of receiving it. The best
evidence that this was the case, is afforded
in the fact that the first opportunity after
the passage was embraced to cover it back
into the treasury. According to our re-
collection Mr.. Garfield was the first OF
all the members TO take this step. The
ebolition of feeling, however, shown in
these resolutions was onlya spontaneous
expression of opposition to Legislative
jobbery, characteristic of Republicanism.
We do not ,recollect the number, but the

Judge Poland on Garfield.

Luke P. Poland, OF Vermont, was chair
man of the so called Credit Mobilier Com
mittee and conducted the investigation in
to the charges made against different mem.
bers Of Congress. He has written letter
which, under the circumstances, is entitled
to great weight, and Of itself is sufficient
to refute the daily calumnious outcry of
irresponsible papers as destitute of poll
tical shrewdness as Of moral honesty.
They lie because it becomes them, and
shrink from the truth because it offends
their intellectual appetites The letter of
Judge Poland has the following allusion to
credit, mobilier and Gardeld's connection
with it, The letter bears date, June 92d
Probably no man in Vermont knows Gen,
Garfield more intimately than myself. He
was in Congress during the whole of my
ten years service, and for eight years we
stood together in the House, and ever on
terms of friendship and intimacy. OF his
eminent ability, power in debate and
untiring devotion to the public service, l
need not speak, His long service aud
leading position in congress have made
him known to all the people Of the country
who take any interest in public affairs
But our political opponents affect to
question his personal integrity and purity
of character, and TO base their accusations
upon the evidence taken before and report
Of a committee Of Congress, of which was
chairman, known as the Credit Mobilier
committee, Now, desire to say to the
convention, and to all who may feel any
interest in my opinion Of Gen. Garfield,
that nothing which appeared before that
committee, or which appears in their
report, or any other matter or thing which
ever came to my knowledge in regard to
him, ever led me to doubt his personal
integrity. believe him to be thorough
upright and honest man, and one who
would be so under all circumstances and
against any temptation, The use that Ia
being made OF fmy name and Of the report
Of the committee drawn by me, in my
opinion, makes it proper for me to express
my personal judgment as to the character
Of the man. ask you to do me the favor
to communicate this note to the oonyen-
tion. LUKE p. POLAND.

One great central fact III The political
situation Is that unless the Democrats can
carry New York they can not elect their
ticket. In order to win without New
York they would have to carry New Jer-
sey, Connecticut, California, Oregon, Ne
vada, Colorado, Nebraska, Indiana, and
every Southern State. This, Of course,
they can not do, hence all their hopes Of
success must be pinned to New York In
the election Of 1878 and 1879 the Republi-
cans carried New York. and il they work
as they should, and as VIC believe they
will, they can carry it this fall by 30, ,OOG
majority.

. Sir Wilirid Lawson's local option law
has at last passed the House OF Commons
by majority Of nineteen. Mr. Gladstone
and Lord Harrington voted against the
measure, the other members Of the govern
ment generally voted in favor Of it. Un-
der this law the question whether liquor
shops shall be licensed in any district is
left to the people Of that district; substan-
italy the law Of New York State. 1t had
been rejected at several previous sessions.
This temperance victory was followed by
another even more decisive, the passage by
majority Of thirty Of a bill for closing
public houses on Sunday in England and
Wnles.

James A. Garfield has been too long in
public life to have escaped injurious alleg.
ations against his personal character and
bitter attacks upon his political course,
but he is strong in his freedom from in
trigue to gain the nomination and in being
able to accept it absolutely free from dis
reputable alliances orembarrasing pledges.
There are no boilers, scratchers, or indie
pendents who bear the Republican name
who cannot earnestly vote for Gen. Gar
field, and there is no thorough going Re-
publican, who will not accept him as fit

Another illustration of the dishonesty
of the assertion that there is free speech
in the South is found in the conduct of an
Alabama mob at a Republican meeting in
Montgomery the other day. This is the
second recent instance of Democratic ruff
fianism in the former capital of the rebel
Confederacy. The roughs who pelted the
speakers at this Republican ratification
meeting, and interrupted the speeches
with ribald and profane outcries, were
unconsciously verifying the often-repeat-
ed statement that free speech would be
practically abolished wherever and when
ever the Democracy are in the ascen-
dency. And the only Democrat who
urged the mob to desst used the novel ar
gument that the republicans could be out.

A prominent Republican Of Alabama,
now in Washington, says that while there
is no hope of carrying that State for the
Republican Presidential ticket, owing to
the fact that neither fair vote nor a
fair count can be had in the Southern
counties OF the State, it is nevertheless
probable that the Legislature will be car
ried by the Republicans and independents
acting together In the Northern coun-
ties ticket wholly Republican will be put
up, but in other sections the Republicans
will support the independent nominees.
This ticket is expected to sweep the CEN
tral portions Of the State, and hopes are
entertained that it may win in some Of the
Southern counties. The basis Of the Dem
ooratic confidence lies in the fact that they
have totally removed the few remaining
safeguards OF the ballot box which the
Republicans originated when in power

idiocy ut critical points in its history. 1t
