GARFIELD AND MS PARTY.
a BITTER DENUNCIATION.

aud without rerroach-thut no Repult
liran had ever said aught against him,
aud that even such distinguished Dem
ocratc es Senator Thurman and Hon.
rhos A. Hendricks had spoken Of him
in. the higheat terms Of praise, as an
honest aud incorruptible man.
In answer TO the latter assertion We
have only To refer our readers to the
speech of Gov. Hendricks, published iu
last weeks DgMocgAr, in which Gar.
field is arraigned AZ most corrupt ara
infamous iobber ia the great electoral
steal Of 1876, and in which he is proven
to have been the chief coHspirator and
most interruptions manipulation Of the
false returns which counted out Tilden
and counted in Hayes electors in Lon
iaiana.
For further and separate answer to
Mitchclls assertion that no Republican
or body OF Republicans had ever said
aught against Garfield, We offer in evi-
dencs the following;
On the 9TH Of September, 1876, the
Republicans Of the Nineteenth Con
gressional District Of Ohio opposed to
the return Of James A. Garfield to Con
gress met ia convention at Warren,
Ohio, and organized. A committee on
resolutions was appointed, which. after
mature consideration, submitted the
following, which was adopted
Resolrei, That there is no man to.
day officially connected with the admin
istration of our national government
against whom are Justly preferred more
or graver charges of corruption than
are publicly made and abundantly sus.
tanned against James A. Garfield. the
present representative Of this Con
gressional district and the nominee Of
the Republican convention for re elec
ton.
ResoIre,i, That since he first entered
Congress TO this day, there ia scarcely
an instance ia which rings and monopo-
lies have heen arrayed against the in.
trresis Of the people. that he has heen
found active in speech and vote on the
side of the latter. but in almost every
case he has becn the ready champion OF
rings aud m0nopolies
Rrsoirri, That We especially charge
him with veBaliiy aud cowardies in PER.
nntting Drnjamin + Butler 10 attach
to the Appropriation iiill of 1873 that
ever to le rememlercd infaIny, the sal.
ary steal, and ia speaking aud voting
cot that measure upon it's final passage;
aud charge him with corrupt disregard
Of the clearly Expressed demand OF his
constituents that he should vote for its
repeal, aud with evading said demand
by voting for the Hutchinson amend
ment.
Resoirs.i. That We further auaign
aud drnouncr him for his corrupt con
nection with the Credit AlobilieT, for
biz false deniala Thereof l,efore his con.
siituents. Cor his peiiured denial thereof

k,es~, for fraud upon his constituents
10 circulating nmopg them pamphlet
purportipg to set forth the findings of
said cO.nmittee and the evidence against
bim, when, in fact, portions thereof
were omitted and garbled.
Resoirei, That we further arraign
aud charge him with corrupt bribery in
s..fI;,.. Ia. off,ct. Il ;nHn.no. 40 ftha air,,at,
Of the Committee on Appropriations To
the DE Golyer Pavement Ring, to aid
them in securing a contract from the
Board Of Public Works Of the District
Of Columbia selling his influence to
aid said ring in imposing upon the peo.
pie of said District a pavement which
is almost worthless Vt Y price three
times its cost, az swoFn to by one Of
the contractors selling his influence to
aid said ring in procuring a contract to
procure which it oorIuptly paid S97 900
''for influence )" selling his influence in
matter that involved no question Of
law, upon the shallow pretext that he
was acting as lawyer selling his in
huence in manner so palpable and
| and clear as to be found aud declared
by an impartial and competent Court
upon an issue solemnly tried.
Resoired, That we arraign him for
the fraudulent manner in which he at
tempted, in his speech, at Warren, on
on the 10Th day of September, 1874, to
shield himself from Just censure in re-
ceiving the aforementioned $1,000.
by falsely representing in said speech
that the Congress Of the United States
was not responsible for the acts Of said
board, nor the United States liable for
the debts created thereby, when in truth
and in fact, as he then well knew, the
said board of Public Works and the
officers of said District were but the
agents and instruments of Congress,
and the United States was responsible
for the Indebtedness by them created.
Resolped, That we arraign him for
gross dereliction of duty as member
Of Congress in failing to bring to light
and expose the corruption and abuse in
the sale of post-traderships, for wlich
the late Secretary RelknaP was i'm.
peached, when the same was brought to
| his knowledge by Gen. Hazen in 1879,
Hazen in 1872, and can only account
for it upon the supposition that his
manhood was dehaucbed by the corrup-
tion funds then by him just received
and ia his own purse.
! Resolved, That the law of 1873,
known as the act demonetizing silver,
was enacted in the interest of the gold
rings, bondholders and capitalists and
