Of appropriations, Il fitting committee.
He procured ten shares of Credit Mobilicl
OF Oalscs Amcs, but having no ready cash

y Sensible Constituency.
New lori, Herald. March 9S, 1873.
The Republicans of Turnbull county,
O., have called upon Garfield, who repre-
scnts them in Congress, to resign his seat,
in consequence of his voting for the back
pay grab. Perhaps 4 little of the tincturc of
Credit Moj;lier actuatcd them in making
their request.
New York Herald March 81, 1873.
Congressman Garfield rises to explain -
his vote on the back-pay grab, in letter
to Tic Cincinnati Times. He says ''hc
does not s!iirk any just measure of rcspon-
sibility' for the vote he gave. His con-
stitucmcy have just measured the extent of
that responsibility and found the result.
lh" sum Of it is thcy request Mr.. Garfield
to resign his seat
the Increased Salary and Isaclk-Pay Bills.
New York Herald. October 81, 1873.
:; :: = IL the congressman could vote
themselves 5000 extra compensation, for
services already rendered for stipulated
remuneration. they could vote themselves
::iO, 900 or 500, 900. :: = II there be
any back-pay Congressman more con-
tcmp!iblc than his fellows it is he who has
attempted to escape responsibility by the
restoration of his plumber after he has be-
como alarmed ut the general indignation
called lortl, by tho dishonOrablc law.
These representatives have proven their
willingness to share in the back pay steal
if they were not too cowardly to defy pub
lie sentiment. They nave shown the in
stinct OF the pickpocket without the co,lr-
age Of the hishwayman.

If the good men Of tho Republican party
mean to reform their organization they
must Il" it i'll the approaching Congress.
First, let item kill CHsarism. Second,
let them say to Credit Mobilier congress-
men like Dawes and Garfield, ''Gcntlemen,
you have been tried and found wanting
and cannot preside over the committees of
ways and means and appropriations"
The first step towards reforms is the hard
est. These appointments will be the CRU
cial test for MIR. Blaine.
\ Question for Mr. Blame
New York Herald October 80. 1879
If Mr.. Blaine means to be speaker and to
run for the presidency he must soon de-
eide one question, what will he do with

dishonest representatives the chairman

ized. The House will dcubtlessly accom-
plish its organization Oh Monday, in the |
