SINCE the 9Th Of June Gen. Garfield has
been target for the shafts OF the entire
Democratic party. All kinds Of missiles
have been flung at hin. The Democratic
leaders, who ought to have known better, al
we'll as the hoodlnn1s and ignoramuses,
Joined in the 1nud-slinginE campaign, Of
which tho 1850" ling was the most fdiotlc.
Now it will be interesting to ste what effect
this furious and combined attack upon the
personal character and political record Of the
Republican candidate has had upon those
who know him best The approximate re-
suit Of it may be ascertatned from the vote
Of the "Western Reserve" Of Ohio last Tues
day. Gen. Garfield has represented part OF
the Reserve in Congress for nearly twenty
years. He was born and raised there Every
man, woman, and child in it knows
him by reputation and sight, and he
has personal acquaintance with nearly all
Of its adult inhabitants. No more intelligent
or critical constituency exists In the United
States than in the Reserve counties. Thepeo-
pie Of that region have the clear grit and
pure morality of their Puritan forefathers,
combined with Western ideas Of progress
and enterprise. Before the immense jury
made up by this people last Tuesday Gen.
Garfield was tried. And what was the re-
suit? The vote Of the twelve counties con-
stituting the Western Reserve last Tuesday
compares with the vote for the Republican
candidate In October, 1875, when Mr.. Hayes
(also an Ohio many was candidate tor Prcsi-

Presidential candidates who have fallen
into the sere and yellow leaf usually testify
to the fact In some public manner" Horace
Greeley, when his case was hopeless, made
desperate effort to retrieve his fortunes In
series Of public speeches. Mr.. Hancock. be-
ing in similar position, has adopted the
vocation Of complete letter-writer. Before
the Indiana election he seemed to be losing
ground on account OF Southern claims. lie
promptly disowned sympathy with such
claims, though 1t was we'll known that In SO
doing he struck at q principle dear to the
hearts Of his Southern supporters. Since
the Indiana election he has been LED
to believe that the crushing defeat
Of his party was due to the Tarh
issue. lie has, therefore, caused
spontaneous II correspondence to spring up
between himself and Senator Randolph, OF
New Jersey, in which he proclaius himself an
"incidental" believer In Protective tariff
