HIS DEFENSE NOT SUFFICIENT.

From the Detroit Free Press. Dem. July. le:l
The immediate results of Garheld's
speech made to his own friends and
neighbors in his own district-the ''old
God fearing Joshua r. Giddings dis
trict," as the New York Tribune pathet-
ically calls twas That he ran nearly
3 ,O00 votes behind his ticket at the Oc-
tober election. He had stated his case
| in his own way and put 1t in the best
| light possible. There was no one to con-
tradict or deny him. And this was
the verdict of his fellow partisans. Out
of 15,S43 republican votes in the dis
trIct, 1892 refused to accept his explain
alton as satisfactory and preferred the
loss OF a representative in congress to
lndorsing him. While the defense was
still fresh in the minds OF Gar6eld's
constituents IN September, 1876, the
republicans OF his district held a meet
ing at Warren, the place where the
speech was delivered, and again testifi-
ed that the defense was insufficient. In
Il public meeting they adopted series
OF resolutions, in the very first OF which
they declared that s'there is no other
man to day officially connected with
the ADMINISTRATION of the national govern
ment against whom are justly preferred
more and graver charges OF corruption
than are publicly made and abundantly
sustained against James A. Garfield. y
In subsequent resolutions these neigh.
bnrs and iriends-these fellow -partisans
who are thoroughly familiar with his
speech and his defense-arraigned and
denounced him for his corrupt connec-
tion with the Credit Mobiiler, for his
false denials thereof before commit
tee," and "for selling his official influ-
ence as chairman of the committee on
appropriations for S6, 900 to the DeGol-
yer pavement rlng''

And cryin' and moanin' for somsthin' to eat.

And saw, Mister Judge. that the back door was

OF the press, which has long pointed
