a brakeman in the employ of the Iron
Mountain Railroad company, while
some cars were being shifted in the

Truth from q Republican News.
paper.

The following is taken from the
Newton Mass Republican of the 14th
inst, an Influential Republican paper,
published almost within the shadow
of Faneuil Hall. There is not a con-
scientious Republican i'm all the land
who will attempt to deny the facts
stated, nor the conclusions formed up
on them:
The testimony Of Oakes Ames that Garfield
agreed to take ten shares of the Credit Mobil-
ier is recorded, as is also the statement that
Garfield received 1929 as di, idends from those
shares, knowing that 1t was a dividend. and
we believe Mr.. Ames told the truth, all the
notwithstanding.
Is there any good reason why Republican
voters, who believe in honest practices and
the selection of clean men for administering
the Government, should support one man
who has been guilty of bribe-taking, when
they have refused to support another equally
corrupt2
The better portion of the Republican party
were opposed to the nomination OF James g.
Blaine because of the very strong evidence OF
his guilt in receiving bribe from the Credit
Mobilier. Is it consistent for this portion OF
the party to look with any more favor upon
James A. Garfield, gainst whom the evidence
is just as strong that he too was guilty Of q
like offence. Hardly a day passes that we do
not hear some good-natured Republican-of-
tentmes prominent men-express himself as
being dissatisfied with the ticket. but that
''we ought to make the best Of IT." and we
respectfully ask lhese gentlemen il they would
be willing to act on the same principle when

be dishonest, to take charge Of their cash

For Indiana and OHIO.

There was a meeting of the Hancock
and English Club Of st. Francois
township last Saturday, and an ex-
ample set that should be initiated by
every Democratic club throughout the
State.
Rev. Alvin Rucker, Chairman Of
the Democratic Executive Committee
of this county, presented for the con-
sideration of the club a communica.
ton from Shannon g. Douglas, Chair
man OF the State Democratic Execu-
tive Committee, appealing for volun-
rary contributions for the purpose Of
aiding the Democrats of Indiana and
Ohio i'm the vigorous canvass now be-
ing conducted In those States. The
present administration, which has
made such loud pretenses Of civil
service reform, has abandoned every
semblance of consistency and re-
quired Government employees to
contribute of the salaries for Re
publican campaign purposes or be
dismissed from service and the
money so obtained Is being used i'm the
States named to carry the October cleo
tions.
Money Is needed by the Democrats
of these States to conduct the cam
paign not, as great many are
foolish enough to believe, to purchase
votes and spend corruptly, but for
the purpose Of paying the expenses Of
public speakers, mass meetings, and
campaign documents for distribution
among the reading and thinking class
es. Every campaign involves such
expenses, and they have been largely
met by a few men of the party, which
is too much of an imposition upon
them. The campaign fund may be
made large and effective by small vol
untary contributions by individual
members of the party, and especially
by the actions of Democratic clubs In
this State, which is so largely Demo-
cratic that little or no expenditure OF
money is needed.
The Hancock and English Club OF
this place, appreciating this fact, and
feeling the necessity of extending some
aid i'm the great work of dethroning
Radical corruption and misgovernment,
on last Saturday unanimously adopted
motion contributing twenty dollars
to the Indiana and Ohio campaign fund.
A warrant was immedistely drawn on
the treasury of the club for that amount,
and the money forwarded to w. II.
Clopton, treasurer of the State Demo-
cratic Executive Committee, to be by
him forwarded to the proper person.

The Philadelphia Record, indepen-
dent, recalls to mind an important fact
in this brief paragraph: 1.-THE most ap-
palling fact that confronts Republican
administration in the United States is
the predominance of white men in the
Democratic party. The vote In 1876
showed that majority of at least one
million white mems votes were cast for
the Democratic candidate for President.
This is a condition so pregnant with
coming disaster that blind men can al
most see it,"

In 1873 the Ohio Republican State
Executive Committee declined to al
low General Garfield any appoint
ments to stump that State for General
Edward. F. Noyes, then candidate for
Governor and now Minister to France.
This was by the knowledge and con-
sent of Governor Noyes. Colonel s T.
Mykoff, then Secretary of State and
now pension agent at Columbus, was
at that time Chairman of the commit
tee, whose action was very generally
approved by the Republicans of that
State.

have, therefore, not only an excellent
prospect for carrying the State and

HONOR TO THE WORKINGMEN.
From VIM. Z Claiming

The day laborer who earns, with horny
hand and the sweat of his brow, coarse
food for wife and children, whom he
loves, is raised, by his generous motive, to
true dignity; and, though wanting the re-
fnements of life is nobler being than
those who think themselves absolved by
wealth from serving others. 1t is worthy of
Hote that the men and women who think
most meanly of others, are those who rem
der back to society for the good things
they enjoy, the smallest return of personal
effort. The worlds true benetactors, and
therefore its true noblemen, are those who
serve it humbly and earnestly TO the best OF
the ability God has given them. All
Others are but counterieits and pretenders.
