put them
/. Did | mean IN my letter to Mr.. Blaine
that Geu. Garfield acknowledged the re-
ceipt Of stock and dividends from Oak es
Ames
Unquestionably he agreed to take the
stock, and did receive dividends upon it..
The letter plainly implies that be had not
concealed, or tried to conceal, that fact from
me. But his admission was coupled with
statement which showed him to be guilt
less.
,. Did he Dr. clare to me that he would g
before the PolSnd committee and testify tru-
ly that he had taken the stock
had no previous conversation with him
about his testimony before the Poland com
mittee, and did not know what it would
be until | heard it delivered.
8. Did advise and urge him to tell the
truth ?
No certainly not. Such advise and ur-
gency would have been most outrageous
insult, which could not offer to any gentle
man of his character.

fense suggested by me

From he Springfield Republican, Garfield.
The Democrats, on the other hand. slv
they want tariff for revenge only. A, .
large revenue is necessary and the Demo-
Gratis sre not likely to increase the internal
revenue by raising the taxes on spirits and
tobacco ii i clear that a tariff for revenue is
likely to afford all the protection needed.
Besides the Democrats are not of one mind ;
they are supposed to protect louisiana sugar
Georgia iron, Texas wool, Pennsy lyania and
New Jersey manufactures.
Thus it may be seen that the able and
well informed opposition papers admit and
say that in the hanls of the Democrats all
the great industries of the country are safe.
And it is the more especially true because
the speaker ofthe House is a Peunsylvanil
tariff uan. and Hancock il also Pan.ylva
nian interested in the development OF his
State; anl these facts against Garfield, who is
by conviction free trader, and so speaks and
votes A ii men therefore who desire 10 pre-
tect the iron, the wnol, the sugar ald the
cotton will vote for Hancock.
Besides, the Democrats are likely to dis
pense with all stamps upon cheques and
thus relieve The business of the country from
that ann ,yinz burden and place upon i'm
port duties the raising of that sum.
The whole business Of the country il in
'erestei in putting the Democrats into
power. Protection to all industries, North
and South, relief from all unnecessary stamp
duties, economy in the public expenditures
will all come from the election of Hun-

THE PANIC DODGE.

The cry against the Sold South" having
aroused many southern republicans against
the party that has been making it, aud not
having succeeded in firing the northern
heart as was expected, the Republican party
has been looking around for something new
with which to stay the tide of detection that
has set IN against their candidates. The
Southern brigader' business, the "Rebe
war claims and ali that sort of stuff did
not answer the purpose, as the organization
of Hancock Republican clubs all over the
country went on. Something new must be
found, and so their leaders held a counc /
and decided upon their last expedent. The
North must be scared. The order went forth
to the organs, and simultaneously all over
the country went up the wall from Republi.
can thrOats that 'if the Democracy are sue
cesslu great panic will be inaugurated.
Business will cease, and the great industries
Of the country will be at a stand still" On
the strength of this cry they are as%ing tor
large sums of money with which to buy votes
in Indiana and Ohio.
When the panic of 1873 began under re-
publican administration, the organs of that
party were kept busy in trying to prove to
the people that the political complexion Of
hegovernment had nothing to do with the
panic 1t was brought about by the failure
of crops, by loss Of confidence among bust
ness men, &C., &c, and upon such argu-
ments they based their claim Tor continu-
ance in power. Now they reverse themselves
completely, and ask to be continued in pow
er because the success Of the Democracy
will produce just what the administration
could not control in 1873.
But is there the slightest indication of a

fact that the election Of Hancock is becom-

The State election in Irdiana and OIiC
will take place next Tuesday. The poliJca
excitement runs high and large meetings
are being held nightly by both parties, which
are addressed by leading orators. The Dam
ocrat1 of Indiana are confident Of success
though the republicans have been using
tremendous efforts and large sums OF money
to break the majority.
Ohio, always republican, has been made
doubtful, and if the republicans carry it by
5000 they will be happy. But it will be on
ly holding their own.
If Indisna goes Democratic now there are
strong hopes Of Wisconsin 10 November, and
even Pennsylvania will grow shaky.
If OHIO aud Indiana should both &c

November will be only form, as his success
will be assured.

| You defend yourself from my charge by
