about the same style that he salvod over
his FaImont speech.


Tsere was another point that the Hor
orable Jacob introduced into his SpeecI
last night that is worthy Of notice. H
quoted, as coming from Judge Farwell, Q
Chicago, that Garfield was guilty Of col
ruption in the De Golyer case. Upol
this point we also Immediately telegraph
ed last night to Chicago, after the Wash
ington Hall meeting, Tor the facts in th,
case, and at half past twelve O'Clock WI
received the following reply:
CHICAGO, August 10.
Special Dispatch 10 the Wheeling IutellIgeueer.
Judge Farwell no more used the Ian
guage attributed to him by the Democratic
press, in the matter of Chittenden and
Mcclellan and jenkins suit, than did
Mr.. Justice swayne. The facts are simply
these: On the 18th Of May, 1866, lawyer
Doolittle, counsel for defendant, made an
argument before Judge Farwell in the case,
in which he (Doolittlel used the Language
concerning Garfield that has been going
the rounds OF the Democratic press, credit
ed sometimes to Judge Farwell and some
times to Mr.. Justice swayne. On the 10th
Of June, 1875, arule was entered by Judge
Rogers here directing plaintiff to
demur or reply to the defendants
special plea. This was filed June 29d, and
on the 96th Of. June the motion next came
before Judge Farwell, when the demurrer
OF the plaintiff was overruled and carried
back to the declaration and sustained as q
demurrer to special counts, and judg.
ment given for the defendant in
demurrer. At no time. had Judge FGrtrsp
an opportunity to express himself regarding
any possible connection Of Gen. Garfield With
Chittenden or The case in which he tras plain
ti6, nor did he 90 outside Of lie record to do so
He held that If Chitendea had obtained Tie
contract for DeGolyer and Jenkins BY i'm
proper means las alleged by COUNSEL, then he
(Chittenden) could not recover from htm, but
that he had 50 Obtained Il he Judge did not de.
eide, nor tras he called upon 10 doso.

Now we commend the above dispatch to
the Hon. Jake as a text for his next
speech on the De Golyer case. This false
hood about Justice Swayne and Judge
Farwell shas been refuted everywhere,
wherever it has appeared in this campaign,
and yet such stump orators as the Demo-
cratic ca ndidate for Governor OF this State
constantly repeat it. We call upon the
audiences of Mr.. Jackson throughout the
State to demand his attention to this ex-
plicit fact the next time he repeats it, viz,
that neither Justice Swayne nor Judge
Farwell ever uttered the language he pre-.
tends to quote US an expression from the
latter We should suppose that man
who publicly boasts himself q lawyer and
a Jackson would be above anything SO
small.
After the honorable Jake had exhausted
all other material last evening, he under.
took to show that he had about AS good a
record Cor loyalty as has Mr.. Sturgiss, the
candidate Of the Republican party for Gov
ernor. lie said that Sturgiss had pub
lished lisloyal paperat Morgantown dur
ing the war, and that he had been disGon-
tinued as Deputy United States Marshal
there because oil disloyalty. 1t is true
that Mr. Sturgis4' did in connection las we
remember it) with the present editor OF the
Wheeling Register. publish paper for a
portion OF that time that had very OBJ.
ieClionabIe tone 10 it. That fact is just as
true, we presume, US that Gen. James B.
Langstreet, was General in the
rebel army during the war, and that he
has been eIer since the close OF the war q
well affected and loyal citizen of the
United States. Mr.. Sturgiss can plead in
mitigation Of his error early in the war what
Mr.. jackson cannot-youth and indiscre-
ton. He turned from the error Of his
ways early in his life, and ever since has
brought forth fruits meet for repentance.
The Republican party draws very broad
limo OF distinction between the man who
seeing his error renounces it, and a
man who declares in recent public
speech that he will teach hla children
to hate the party that was loyal to the
country duringthe war.
