JAMES A. GARFIELD.
From the New York Sun.lria

|
But is Gen. Garfield such . man
that patriotic citizens of the United
States can well and wisely support
him Tor president? Can the execu-
tive authority Of the republic be safe
| !y imtrusted to him These are the
questions which every voter should
now ask and we answer calmly aud
einphaticsily that he is not such q
| man. ..tI .-.ra-. .'-g1.4-a,iy e-sif
The character of Gen. Garfield can
be Judged. by the following conspicu-
Gus facts. .r,..ze bsrs5rs. ,sA
When, in 1872, the Credit Mobilier
bribery and corruption among mem-
| hers of congress were first exposed,
| Gen. Garfield was one among those
accused. Hr Immediately published
a letter expressly and positively de
| nving that he had any share Sin1 it.
Next, on January IA, 1878, he ap-
peared before the committee Of the
house OF tatives, ) aud. under
oath declared 81 never owned, re-
ceiyed, or agreed to receive any stock
| If the Creuitl Mobilier, or or the
| Union Pacific railroad, nor.dnvk div-
tdena or profits arising from either
| of them. ID .-iai1J AI6I ECE
But eli January 23 next following,
the Hon. Oakes Ames was examined
before the same committee, and
proved by record evidence, partly in
Gen. Gartieid's own handwriting, that
| Ten. Garfield had had stock in the
| Credit Mobilier. and that he had re-
ceived dividends thereupon. Mr.,
Ames also testified that Gen. Garfield
had visited him subsequent to the
commencement of the Investigation
| oy the house, and had endeavored to
| induce him to swear before tho COM
| inlttce that money thus paid him as
dividends had been delivered to him
as loan and yet at the very same
| line that be had endeavored to pro-
| cure this false testimony from MIR.
Ahes, Gen. Garfield had called upon
| Alnes 10 pay him all additional sum
OF money on account OF the Credit
| MobIlier, claiming that the dividends
nc had already received had not been
a large as they should have been.
a pejurcr, and man who at
tcnpts TO suDorn perjury, is not fit
| to be president.
One other important feature III the
history of Gen. Garfield islhis rela-
'ion TO the DE Goiyer paving con-
tract. One De Golyer lad made
contract with the Shepherd Ring in
Washington to put down quantity
OF patcut pavement. Gen. Garfield
as chairman of the committee OH
appropriations in the house of repre-
Stntut'vcs. In order to pay for this
patent pavement, an appropriation
"ar needed from congress. The sum
OF five thousand dollars was paid to
Gen. Garfield on behalf of De Goiyer.
aud appropriations to the amount of
millions of dollars were thereafter
granted to the Washington Ring, the
appropriation tor the De Golyer
pavement being included therein.
These are some of the facts in the
public record of James A. Garfield,
GOV the republican candidate for
president of the United States,

THE WAR ON JIM KEENE.
tFrom the New York Correspond dent of
Troy Times.

From the New York Correspondent of the
Troy Times.
The recent bear movement is the re-
suit (as it is said) of an attempt to clean
out Jim keene,'' as he is called.
keene has been bold operator and
made enormous sums in the rise. He
was one OF the leading bulls in the Lake
Shore movement and saw it advance
rapidly under his manipulation until a
profit OF $50 per share was realized.
He became the object of admiration and
envy. Even RUFUS Hatch said he had
intended gong into Lake Shore with
Jim keene, but lost his opportunity.
The old Wall street men, such as Jay
Gould and Russell Sage, look on Jim
keene as parvenu intruder. and have
determined, it is SAID, to drive him ont
OF the street. Whether they will sue
ceed remains to be seen. They adroitly
waited till Jim" had gone to Newport
for the season and then opened their
attack. ''Jim," however, was not
caught asleep. Before leaving the city
he placed a. heavy balance at his bank
er's and used this SO dexterously as to
break the fall. His stocks have suffered
less than almost any others, and he NAV
yet carry out his scheme tor their full
recovery

A WEAK TICKET.
from the New York Hera!G.l

Whatever republicans may think or
affect to think OF the Chicago ticket,
democrats will regard it as weak. The
name placed at its head is not that of a
great republican leader, but of rising
man who is advanced by his nomina-
tion beyond his legitimate claims on his
party and lar beyond his pretensions as
national statesman. The second
name on the ticket will be regarded in
democratic estimation like the first, as
one OF those accidents In politics by
which q man is suddenly pushed into a
prominence which he did not expect and
which his friends would not have VEN
tured to ask in his behalf.
The democratic party will naturally
regard as weak ticket nominated by
accident and presenting no name which
has been seriously considered IN so i'm
portant connection. Their fight is
not to be against any of the renowned
republican leaders, but against subal-
tern men, respectable enough in their
particular spheres. but never contem-
plated for places on the national ticket
until the deadlock at Chicago lifted them
into an Importance not contemplated by
their party. A ticket from which all
the great republican leaders are omit
ted and consisting of makeshitt candi-
dates. caught up at the last moment,
will give the democrats no anxiety or
trouble If they should succeed in nomi-
mating their strongest men. If they
put at the head of their ticket states
man who will reunite the divided New
York democracy and push Mr.. Garfield
hard in his own state OF Ohio, they will
have excellent chances of electlng the
next president.
The republican ticket, being obvious
ly weak and second rate, including no
name which had been seriously present.
ed or discussed previous to the Chicago
| convention, the democrats have an op-
portunlty to confront it with ticket
bearing the name OF their most distin.
guished statesmen. We do not know
whether they will be wise enough to
make the most of such an opportunity.
Ii they also should make up ticket OF
men never thought OF for the highes sta
tions. setting aside the great democratic
statesmen as the repub. leans have sci
aside theirs, the election will be mere
party le.But if they put up one of their
| ablest statesmen in the front they will
have excellent chances OF electing III.
Any democratic candidate who is strong
in New York and strong Ill Ohio would
defeat Mr.. Garfield, who Is mere al
ternate or substitute for one of the great
and accredited leaders of his own party
Conspicuous ability tells, and it will be
the fault OF the democrats If they do not
present stronger ticket than the one
which has been nominated ut Chicago.

My God, lheard this day .s .
That none doth build a stately ha bitation
but he that means to dwell therein.
What house more stately hath there been,
Or can be, than is man ? 10 whose creation
All things are In decay.
Man is all symmetrie,
Full OF proportions one limb to another,
And all to all the world besides
Each part may call the furthest brother:
For head with foot hath private amlty,
And both with moons and tides.
Nothing has got so farre,
But man hath caught and kept 1t as his yrey
HIS eyes dls'nount the highest Stare,
He IS. in little, all the sphere.
Herbs gladly cure our flesh, because that the
Finde their acquaintance there.
For us the windes Go blow,
The earth doth rest, heaven move, fountain
Nothing we say but means our good
AS our delight, or as our treasure,
The whole IS; either our cupboard of food
Or cabinet OF pleasure.
The starres have us to bed. -t
Night draws the curtain which the sun with
Muslck and light attend our head
All things unto our flesh are klnde
IN their descent and being; to our minde
In their assent and cause.
More servants wait on man
Then he'll take notice OF. In every path
He treads down that which doth beirlend hin
When sickness max es MN pale and wan

Another to attend him.
Since then, my God, Thou hast
So brave palace built, q, dwell in 1t,
That 1t may dwell with Thee ut last

That as the world serves us, We may scrv
And both Thy servants be.

And that ssucy, whistling bluckbird

With u string of crows AS long as his gun
Hanging down his back

And you've killed them every one

His hands are stained and umcleau.
not by mere rumor but by the evil

He took twenty shares of Credit

most of the other senators and repre-

OF the enormous cash dividend,
though he never paid one penny for
the stock-never paid for 1T except in
