GEN. WALKER, superintendent of the CEN
Eus, scouts the idea that frauds have been
at the South. He acknowledges the receipt
of many complaints of Irregularities, but
the compliments have as yet furnished no
proofs of the charges made. Gen. Walker
tain there have been no frauds whatever,
and few inaccuracies-as few as in any other
part OF the country. Gen. Walkers testi-
mony ought 10 be accepted as conclusive.

friends among Republicans, but he has not
the slightest chance of an election all the
same. he was somewhat active in Minneso-

but of late years has preferred to devote him
self wholly to private or business affairs.

that he has been, in our opinion
a good and respectable voting Demo

is competent to, as his predecessor was or any

Democratic on party questions, and these are

GENERAL GARFlELD'S CREDIT MO-

Judge Poland's Report, Feb. 10, 1S73-Gar-
fields Testimony Perjured.
The facts in regard to Mr.. Garfield as found
by the committee, are that he agreed with tMr.
Ames to take ten shares of Credit Mobilier
stock, but did not pay for the same. Mr..
Ames received the eighty per cent. dividend
in bonds and sold them for ninety-seven per
cent, and also received the sixty per cent. cash
dividend, which, together with the price of the
stock and interest, left a balance of 1929
This sum was paid over to Mr.. Garfeldj by
check on the Sargeant-at-Arms and Mr.. Gar
field then understood this sum 1oas the balance
Of di0idends after paying for the stock.

Messrs. Kelley and Garfield present moat
distressing figure. Their participation in the
Credit Mobilier affair is complicated by the
most unfortunate contradiction of testimony.
New York Times FEB. 20, 1881
The character Of the Credit Mobilier was no
secret. The course of its Profits was very well
known at the time Cong. essman bought it.
Though Cakes Ames may have. succeeded in
concealing his own motive. which was to bride
Congressman, their acceptance of the stock
was not on that account innocent. The dis
honor of the act, as participation in an OBJ.
vious fraud, still remains.
Some of them have INDUCED in testimony
with reference to the matter which has been
contradcted. The committee distinctly rejects
the testimony Of several Of the members. THIS
can only be done on the ground that it is untrue.
But untrue testimony gi0en under oath is moral.
ly, if not legally, perjury,
It is the clear duty of Congress to visit with
punishment all who took Credit Mobilier stooa
from Cakes Ames.
New York Tribune, Feb. ~, 1881
James A. Garfield of Ohio had ten shares !,

is that the Democrats in the various wards

Republican candidate for the Presidency
cannot escape from the imputation of hav-
ing been an active agent in the preparation
of the great fraud through which the execu-
tive Office was usurped by man who had no
right or title to the position. Garfield was
doubly guilty. He assisted in preparing the
Republican case, and this done he procured
the passage of the electoral bill by means of
false representations. He then procured his
appointment upon the commission and at
once used his position for purely patisian
ends. His record in this matter will not
