WHITE RECORD.

THE attempts to find fault with
Gen. Garfield's political record have
SO far met with no success. He has
been in public life for over quarter
of a century and has not during that
time accumulated even q moderate
competency. He lives in q simple,
frugal, unpretentious manner. II he
had used his position to make money,
or was guilty Of the corrupt practices
his enemies have had the effrOntery
to charge him with, he would to-day
he rolling in wealth. His connection
with the Credit MObilier scandal is
harped about; and upon investigation
it il found that he was in no manner
or form guilty of anything criminal.
He borrowed 1929 Of Oakes Ames, who
proposed that he should take 81 900 of
Credit MobiIier stock, and that the
loan should be considered dividend.
Garfield did not wish to do SO, but
Ames pressed the matter and, it seems,
considered his proposition accepted.
Garfield did not SO regard it and paid
back the loan. This was all there was
to the transaction, and prominent
Democrats like Judge jeremiah Black
and Allen G. Thurman, have fully
vindicated and exonerated him from
these charges. The whole matter was
long since investigated, and the pes,-
pie, always jealous Of the honor Of
their public servants, have long ago
pronounced the verdict Of mot guilty"
i'm Garfieid's case.
The DE Golyer contract has been a
subject which has agitated the Demo-
cratic critic, and given him text
from which to howl corruption"
The point they make is that Garfield,
;,s chairman of the appropriation COM
mittee, secured q large appropriation
for the laying of the DE GOlyer pave
ment and that the DE GOlyer COmpa-
ny, who was his client, paid lin q
large sum for his services. This is not
the fact and the evidence does not sus-
tain the charge. The Government
does not pay for pavements except
they are laid i'm front of their own
buildings, and as none Of the DE Col:
yer pavement was put down by the
Government, no appropriation was
made for such purpose. Garfield was
employed by the attorney for the COM
pany to write the brief setting forth
the good points Of the pavement. In
presenting the brief he made short
explanation. He only did what hun
dreds of other Democrats have done
before and since. The Democratic
attempt TO undermine Garfield's we'll
known purity in public, or even pri-
waite life, is like the attempt of the
mole at undermining mountain.
They might rs well quit.

LET US ALL CELEBRATE.

As the Fourth Of July falls upon
Sunday this year, the people Of the
country will Ike called upon to cele-
brate the anniversary day Of our INDIE

country's welfare as a standing army.
1t keeps alive the sacred spirit which
inspired the founders Of this Nation.

from labor free, lead up their sports
beneath the spreading tree" The arti-
san and the shop-keeper, the husband
man and the laborer, the professional
man, the rich man, all unite IN one
attempt at n ''plsy day." 1t is q
breathing spell-a house OF refuge foS
the tOiling millions who, with heated

This good old anniversary day
should be jealously guarded from that
almost sacrIlegeous inclination preva-
lent In these times, Of making light
Of the old fashioned programme Of
reading the Declaration, pronouncing
orations, toasts, etc. Abolish these.
aud We practically close the hook of
American history; We do away with
one of those great National rr~t days
which are too infrequent ON this side
Of the Atlantic.
Then Let Us celebrate in the same old
style during the coming years. Let
us keep fresh ia our minds the achieve
menss and sacrifices of the fathers by
the same good old programme. Let
Us turn from our daily avOcati0ps. and
all unite In having . good, old-fAsh-

TINE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION.

The nomination of Gen. Hancock
is regarded as very strong one, al
though the enthusiasm which pre-
vailed 50 largely soon after. the
convention has commenced to melt
away. That he was gallant soldier
there is no doubt, but, as a leading
paper puts it, his record cannot be
used a. mantle to cover the sins
of the party he represents. DemOc-
racy. and Rebel Democracy, too. Is
using even the scars that Hancock
gained ut Gettysburg to crawl back
into power. We do not believe that
Hancock would knowingly allow
himself to be made the facile tool of
Rebels. But he is inexperienced in
civil government. He has never
shown predictions for statesman
ship, as has been the case with other
military men who have been promo
ted from the army TO the presiden-
cy. Ii is much safer for James A.
Garfield to be at the helm Of govern
ment in these times. The course Of
the Democratic Congress has been
enough to put Union men on their
guard. The tendency has been to re-
store the Rebel. fire-eating element
in all its pristine glory, to the control
of the government. Thinking men
who love their country will hesitate
long before they will consent to cast
their vote for one who must by he
cessity pander more or less to this
element. Democracy, dressed i'm the
form and garb Of q gallant, dashing.
accomplished Union officer, cannot
hide its entire hideOusness from
thinking people. 1t is an issue Of
parties-nOt men. 1t is the cid con-
test transferred from Gettysburg and
other hard-fOught fields to the cam
paign of 1880, aud Hancock should be
numbered with his old friends instead
Of against them

A CORRESPONDENT writes to ask ii
Gen. Hancock is Protestant or Cath
Ollie. We do not think that makes any
difference. In this country man can
believe what he chooses, without dis
qualifying him from any of the rights
of citizenship. To oppose or favor a
man for any Office on account of his
religious belief is weak aud foolish.
AS matter Of fact, We understand
that General Hancock and his family
are members of the Episcopal Church,
and General Garfield and family are
members of that branch Of the Baptist
Church sometimes known IA Camp
bellites. -TOpekd Commonwealth.
