1t appears, however, that this was not the
language Of Judge Swayne, who is an Ohio
man and a republican, but that of the Hon. j.
r. Doolttle, used in his brief as one of the at
torneys in the case. AS, however, the decision
was in Doolittle's favor, his language was IN
reality endorsed by the decision. At all events,
there is no disputing the force and justice of
the structure, which is in no degree impaired
by its having been the utterance Of Judge Doc

GARFIELD's DEFENCE.

One Russell II. Cromwell, Massachusetts
historographer, is writing biography of Gen
Garfield under his personal supervision, in
which the chapters relating to his transactions
with Cakes Ames and connection with the
Credit Mobiller case are written by Gen. Gar
field himself using the first person singular
SO as to remove all question as to the language
being his own. The chapters are given to the
press in advance ofthc publication of the book
and appear in the New York Herald of last
Saturday. The defence, however, is the old
story-a repetition of his Warren speech and
OHIO pamphlet, and the letter of Judge Black
These the press has already thoroughly dis.
cusscd and the public verdict has been pro-
nounccd that they are insufficient, Gen. Gar.
field wastes many words in defining, what the
public already know all about, the constitution
and character of the Credit Mobiller. 1t is no
news to any one that it consisted of ring of
seven persons" who operated IN secret and
bribed congressman to legislatc for them with
out knowing it, Does Gen. Garfield pretend
that IN voting against an investigation of the
Credit Mobilicr and in favor of releasing the
governments first mortgage on the Union Pa
cific railroad, by which the Credit Mobllicr
were enabled to pocket S30,000,000, he was in
total ignorance rs to the character Of that cor
poration and the object Of the legislation they
were distributing stock among members of
congress TO promote? But still worse than
this miserable plea of ignorance is the fatuous
tenacity with which he holds on to the loan
theory, which was originally mere after.
thought born of the proof brought out by the
investigation that his original statement under
oath, that he had never bargainsd for, owned
or received any profits from Credit Mobllier
stock, &c, was false. The New York Herdld,
which is not unfriendly to Mr. Garfield, is
constrained to say, that his formal and final
defence" is even weaker than Its predecessors.
ut Is not satisfactory" says the Herdld. "llc
says he had a loan Evidence enough to guide
the popular judgment on that point has al.
ready been given. But in the defence there Is
a new traIt of vascillation. He reiterates his
statement of the case to the congressional com.
mittee before tho investigation had proved his
completely, and yet holds on to the loan theory
u prevarication due to the fact that the inves
ugation had proved his original statement to
be false. Yet it is not strange that In a case
where every defence made is so poor mar
should not be able to decide which to stand 10y
for ilnality,"

WIN. r. MILLIGAN FOR SHERIFF.

| While the FREE TRADER has unbounded
confidence IN the ability and disposition of the
coming Democratic County Convention to
make wise and judicious nominations, 1t can
be no impertinence to say that the nomination
of VIM. II. Miligan for Sheriff would merit
its cordial appreciation and enlist its earnest
support. Mr.. Milligan is one of those old.
who are always up to the standard and are
never known to fly the track. For thirty years,
more or less he has been a wheel-hOrse of the
party in this county, never tllnching a duty or
kicking in the traces. He is man of unques-
toned integrity and ability, and his election,
some sixteen years ago, to the office of Sheriff
IN the teeth of an overwhelming republican
majority, showed that he possessed exceptional
personal popularity then, and it is admitted
that he has done nothing since then to impair
it. He made one of the best Shcrifls the coun
ty ever had and but for the law that forbade
it at that time could have been reelected. He
is a man whom everybody knows, has pleas
ant, winning, popular ways and is a splendid
canvasser In an important contest like the
present, we want above all things just such
men on our local tickets
OF course the convention will know best,
and we shall submit cheerfully to Its decision;
but we cannot conceal our anxiety that
strong and unexceptionable county ticket shall
be put in the field, The democrats have been
fortunate in the nomination OF strong ma.
tlonal ticket; they have been equally fortunate
in the state ticket let us make no blunder in
the selection of our county ticket. With ticket
composed of men of the VIM. r. Millgan
stamp a triumph in this county next tall may
be relied upon as among the glorious certain
ties.

CHESTER A. ARTHUR, the republican nom
nee for the vice presidency, apparently obliv-
ous of the utter nslynlficance of his position
as tail to the republican presidential kite, has
inflicted on the public a letter of acceptance
which, while it is much longer, it is but JUS
tlce to say is also much more ably written
than the like letter of his companion in trl-
bulation," Mr. James A. Garfield The letter
is mainly notable rs a specimen of sublime
cheek. A large portion of 1t is devoted to an
argument III favor of the maintenance of the
U. s. election laws and tissue of gross mis-
IN congress to have II IN modified. He says
the democrats, ever since obtaining possession
of both houses of congress, have been deter
mined to abrogate these laws, making them
the ceaseless object of assault and hedging
them about with restrictions cunningly con
trived to paralyZe them. Now all the demo
Gratis asked in reference to these laws was that
the part authorizing the use of L. S. troops at
the polls should be stricken out, and to this
the republicans agreed; and that the L. S.
marshals to be appointed under those laws
should be selected equally from both political
parties, which Hayes and Garfield both admit
ted was right, but opposed and the former We
toed on the ground that it was attached to an
appropriation bill as rider, but afterwards
chewed their words by opposing when present
ed rs separate measure.
The next exhibition of sublime check is IN
the warm endorsement by Mr.. Arthur of the
civil service plank of the Chicago platform,
when all the world knows that he himself was
hurled by Mr.. Conkling at the Chicago con
vention, like an old boot at an improper cat,
to show his profound contempt of that plank
of the platform, Mr.. Arthur being in his own
person the very embodiment of the scorn of
the stalwarts of Mr.. Hayes's civil service re-
form "tomioolery," as they were wont to call
it, 1t Is hard to tell for which that portion of
MIR. Arthurs letter is the more notable-as a
specimen of amazing impudence OF of biting
irony
The letter shocks the party leaders generally
by its approval of the greenback as a perma-
nent part of the federal currency and its ac-
ceptancc of the silver dollar The balance of
the letter agrees in general terms with that of
Gen Garfield in exaltng the need of longer
exclusion of southern democrats from office,
IN commencing large expenditures from the
federal treasury for works of internal improve
ment, and in employing phrases which may
be fairly construed into advocacy of a high
protective tariff
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1880-07-24

says, without giving It's authority for the state
ment, that the back pay part Was left with the
sergeant alarms. BE that as it may while a
number Of other congressman covered it back
into the treasury at once, Garfield delayed
doing so until the I'd of April Whyy Because
on the Goth of the preceding month mass
meeting of his constituents bad insisted on his
doing SO or resign his seat in congress. Yet
two years afterward Gen Garfield had the
check to claim that he had been the first mem
Der of congress to return the back pay grab to
the treasury, tits not with GARFIELD the salary
grabber that the FREE TRADER is quarrelling;
but it Is with his weak, vasciiiating, pypocrit
ical, demagogical action in the matter.

CAPITALIZATION.

The tendencies of the republican party to
wards Capitalization and the conversion o.
the government of the Omitted States
into consolidated empire, like Austria Oh
Russia, are strongly exhibited in Garfed's let
ter of acceptance. He says "the republicans
insist that the United States is nation," us
ing the singular verb; that "its constitution
"its legislature" using the singular pronour
for the UNITED States" Now, the national
constitution contemplating the government
which it established as one Of a uniOnOf states,
and not consolidation, always uses plural
States, as, for example, IN Art. l, Sec 8: INC
title Of nobility shall be granted by the United
States and no person holding any office OF
profit under them shall accept as present, '&c.
Art. 3, Sec, 3: Treason against the United
States shall consist in levying war agalns,
Nem" &c; and the 18th amendment reads
Neither slavery or involuntary servitude
shall exist within the United States or any
place subject to their jurisdiction" Mr.. Gar.
field, in connection with strong expressions
in favor of free school, opposes the application
of any money of the Nation" to the support OF
sectaran schools; knowing very well that un.
der the constitution the government of the
United States has no possible jurisdiction over
schools, he means, therefore, obviously that the
money now appropriated by the different states
to the support of public schools Is the money
of the nation" and that the whole business
should be placed under national" control. In
short, as fully as the national" government
now controls the post Office system so the re-
publican idea is that 1t shall control the pub
lie schools of the country, appointing the teach.
ers the same as it now appoints the postmas-
Garfield or republican idea necessarily includes
the ultimate naturalization" of the state leg
lslatures, state courts, city governments, &c
1t is cardinal principal Of the science of hu-
man government, that people are free in exact
proportion to the ncarness to which the gov.
ernlRent is brought to them. The Swiss are

tanning general but limited supervision over
the whole. SO Russia is the most despotic
government in the world, because all power is
removed as far as possible from the people and
concentrated in the imperial autocrat and his
advisers at st. Petersburg. The democrats ia
vor the Swiss idea of keeping the power near
the people, republicanism tends to removing
it farther and farther off until it becomes con
centrated in one imperial head. The repub-
lican tendency is to destroy the states and
obliterate state lines; the democrats insist on
maintaining the government of the United
States what the Supreme Court has frequent
ly said the constltion made it, ian indissolu-
BILE union of ndestructblc states"

A GOOD NoMINATIoN.-By copy of the
Florida AgricuIturiSt we notice that, at con-
vention of the Democrats of Volusla county,
Florida, on the Sth inst, Mr.. Charles Delano,
a native of Ottawa and during most OF his life
resident here, has been nominated for the
Florida State Senate. Mr.. Delans, as most OF
our readers are aware, six or eight years ago,
after brief residence in Chicago, removed to
