eminent through the secretary OF the
Treasury, had line OF discounts and
loans OF 50, 55S, S09.6l. And after divid-
ing with the syndicate and stockholders
a large amount, it still had surplus
fund of 50 100000.
| feel sure history does not furnish q
parallel. Why the Bank OF England, or
France, or the Rothschild's with all
their wealth and capital, never were al
lowed by the Government Of England
or France, to make such enormous
profits. Think OF it, bank with $780,
900 capital, have $4,000, 900 OF Govern
ment Bonds, divide large amounts with
stockholders and syndicate, and still
have more than s., 000, 900 profits.
REPUBLICAN RING RULE.
Ii will be recolleCted that under
Grant and the Republican party, that
Washington, New York, st. Louis,
Chicago, &c, had many rings organized
by Republicans to rob and detraud the
Government and people, most OF which
the Democrats nave succeeded in break
ing up.
There was the Railroad Land & Bond,
Credit Mobilier, Washington pavement,
Army, Navy, Pcstollice. Patent, Land,
Custom House, Indian, Pension, Treas
/ ury, and the Whiskey-ring, composed
OF Babcock, Grants private secretary,
Mcdonald, Joyce aud others.
The Credit Mobilier aud Washington
pavement. Gen. Garfield figured in.
The Whskey ring.it is said and believed
included many leading Republicans in
Guiding Gen. Grant. You know when
Secretary Bristow undertook to break up
and punish the st. Louis and Chicago
whisky ring, that he (Bristow), Wilson
Buford, Pratt and even Henderson, who
was doing his duty as counsel, were all
turned out OF office by Grant, and Me-
Donald, Joyce, and others pardened.
Many of the facts brought out by trial
and Investigation, went far to show that
much OF the money illegally taken from
the Government went into the pockets
Appointment Republicans, and was also
used to keep in power the Republican
party and ofiice-holders You well
recollect that Belknap, Babcock, and
others barely escaped conviction.
FRAUD REWARDED BY THE REPUBLICANS.
Republicans have rewarded with
office and public money nearly every
body who was connected with the great
fraud OF stealing the Presidential chair
from the man that was fairly elected,
both by the electorala and popular vote. 1t
has been we'll said that il the Democrats
had done rs the Republicans did in 1876,
in regard to President, there would
have been, in all probability, q rebellion
by the Republicans.
Now for the list of Republicans re-
warded for aiding in the great Presi-
dental fraud and connected with the
fraudulent Returning Board and Count
in Florida. There were about thirty
persons, twenty-eight OF them are now
holding Office under the United States,
receiving pay ranging from 81 800 TO
Sl7 800 per annun. Among them are:
Hon. f.. III. NOyes, Minister to France;
Hon. John A. kasson, Minister to Aus
tria: Hon Lew. Wallace, Governor OF
New Mexico; Hon. Thomas j, Brady,
Second Assistant Postmaster General;
Hon. l. StearS Conner, Hot Springs;
Hon. Samuel Il. McLin, Judge, New
Mexico.
Connected with the returning board
lau'i VI 'i''t'hS
Statesmen. there areabout forty persons
who are holding office under President
Hayes, receiving salaries amounting to
more than a hundred thousand dollars
per annum, which you and |, in COM
mon with all OF the people, are taxed to
pay. The returning board, with j. Mad
ison Wells at its head, has been well
taken care of with office and money.
You will recollect that General Gar
field was one of the visiting statesmen,
and afterwards one OF the eight TO seven
commission. Governor Hendricks thus
speaks OF him in a recent speech IN con-
nection with the Presidential fraud:
THE TRUTH PRECISELY.
From Speech by Thomas A. HcndricSs' oil
Marion, Indiana.
Garfeld's nomination means the en-
dorSement and approval in the most
positive and offensive manner possible
OF the Presidential fraud oil 1867. He
had more to do with it than any other
man, and was the only man who occu-
pied toward it double relation. Alter
the election Garfield went TO New Or
leans bv request OF General Grant, with
out authority OF law, as partisan. lie
went there 20 assist his party in making
I'D a case, and after his return to Wash
ingtOn. of all his associates he was the
only man who took his seat upon the Elec-
toral Commission. By every sentiment
of fair play he should have been ex-
cluded from the jury box. By his own
sworn statement OF what he did in New
Orleans, Garfield had charge OF the re-
turns from West Feliciana Parish. In
one Of the inner rooms OF Packard $
Custom House he did his work eXamln-
ed the afiidavits, and when they were
not sufficiently full, he prepared or had
prepared additional interrOgatories 10
bring them within the rules adopted by
the Returning Board. The testimony,
so received by Garfield, went back to
the Returning Board, and the result was
that West Feliciana with its Democratic
majority was thrown out. In Washing
ton, Gartield's vote was that Congress
coull not 90 behind the returns thus
made. As agent Tor his party he helped
10 make returns by manipulating the
evidence; aud as juryman for the ma
;ion he held such evidence conclusive
and binding.
