The Republican Convention made
its nomination. for Congress, yester-
day too late for publication in the late
editions of the GAZETTE. Why this
delay was caused we do not know, as
it was understood before the Conven-
tion met that Judge Houston would be
nominated;whether he accepted or not
was an after consideration. They car
ried out this programme. But we are
yet in The dark as to whether the
Judge will not decline. The Judge
was not in Dover yesterday, so far as
the GAZETTE reporter could ascertain,
or he would have been called on, and
an answer sought from him. The
Judge is good man. But as two good
men cannot be chosen to represent us
in the Lower House of Congress, of
course one must be elected to stay at
home. This may be an evil. But if
it is, il is constitutional one, and our
people in selecting, will doubtless con-
olude to retain the least Of the two
at home.

The facts in regard to Mr.. Garfield, AZ
found by the committee, are that lie
agreed with Mr., Ames to take ten shares
of Credit Mobiller stock, bnt did not pay
Tor the same. MIR. Ames received the
eighty per cent, dividend in bonds and
seld them for ninety-seven per cent, and
also received the sixty per cent cash divi-
dend, which together with the price OF
the stock and interest, lett IA balance OF
1920. This sum was paid over tV MIR. Gar
tield by u check on the Sergeant at inns,
and MIR. Garfield then understood this
sum tOaS he bdtonce OF diVttiehtiS dii,r i,ti -
ing for the stock.
From Me Nei0 Yo1k Times. ht6. 10. 1873.
Messrs Kelley aud & Gnfield present IA
most distressing figure. Their partici-
pation In the Credi Mobiiierallalr is com.
piicated by the most unfortunate contra
dictions OF testimony.
From The NeU York Times. Fcb. ~, 1913.
The character OF the Credit MobIlier was
nose,ret. The source OF ITS profits was very
well known at the time Congi essmen
bought II. Though Oakes Ames may have
succeeded IN concealing his own motive,
which was To bribe Congressine.l, their
acceptance oi the stock was not on tua
account innocent. The dishonur Of the
act, as II participation IN an obvious fraud
still remains.

Garfield as an &c 1onomlst.

A good deal has been said in Re
publican newspapers about Gen.
Garlield's craftsmanship" The
highest test Of craftsmanship Is the
efficient discharge Of important ad-
ministrativc duties. 1t so happens
that Gen. Garfield has been tried by
this test and has been found want
ing. For four years from 1872 to
1875, inclusive, he was chairman of
the Committee on Appropriations.
one Of the most arduous and respon-
sible positions under our system of
government. Well administered the
Office is a great power Tor good:
badly or cOrruptly administered it is
a gigantic power for evil. Let MS
see how Gen. Garfield administered
it. His predecessor in the chairman
ship was Mr.. Dawes, of Massa
chusct:s, who occupied the position
from 1868 to 1871. During his in
bumbency therefore the appropria-
tions for 1869, $50, 1871 and 1872
were made-four years. The aggre
gate amount appropriated during
this period, deducting premiums
paid on loans and purchase of bonds,
was $545, ,9l9, ,424.38.
This sum covered the first admins
tration of General Grant, when the
country was still indulging in the loose
and reckless expenditure engendered
by the war. Gen. Gariield's occupancy
of the cha rInanshil covered the APP
preparations for 1873, 1874, 1915 and
1919 TbtS ,,ori,,1 ,,,a,, Ia, 4
embraced the worst of the financial
depression that followed the panic of
1873, when, if ever, the chairman of
the Committee on Appropriations
might have been expected to do all IN
his power to reduce the expenditures
of the government to the lowest posSi-
bic tigules. Yet we find that, deduct
ing premiums as before, the total ap-
preparations for these four years az
gregated $572 ,742, ,542 %, or $2G, ,S23,-
III 81 more than during the chairman
ship { Mr.. Dawes. But the compari
| son to Mr.. Garfield's discredit does not
end here, for, on examining the record
| since the Democrats obtained major
ity in Congress, we find that the ap-
preparations for the four fiscal years,
from 1877 to 1880, inclusive, were
| $4j9, 700, 4lS 10, or less than the aggre-
gate for the four years of Garfeld's
management by the enormous sum of
81 IL, 033 i24 10. Another striking ey-
idence of Gen. Gariield's extravagant
outlay of the peoples money is found
in the fact that during the first year
of his craftsmanship he permitted,
without protest, the increase of the
appropriations by nearly $25, 600, 900.
This was in the winter OF 1873, before
the panic had come, and when greed
and corruption were llourishing in
Washington. The figures quoted at
ford the strongest sort of proof that
the election of Garfield would at least
involve no economy in the public ser
vice, while IN all probability il would
open wide the door to shameless cor
ruplion and extravaganza. The man
who had not the strength to resist the
importunate money-grabbers, when
holding in his hands the key TO the
treasury, would not be likely to prove
more obdurate as president.- -BaH.

evening. The meeting will convene
about eight o'clock at the corner of
Elliott avenue and Market street.
Mr.. Martin is an able and eloquen.
speaker and it will be pleasure to lis

all who desire TO vote ihtelligently. We
urge every Democrat to go and hear
him who can conveniently do so.

VERMONT will vote for State officers
on Tuesday next. The Republican
ticket of course is certain to win by a
large majority but herculean efforts
are being put forth to swell the vote as
much as possible for outside effect
An increased majority, however,
would have no unfavorahle significance
for the Democrats, while falling on,
no matter how slight, would have II
most chilling effect upon the stalwalt
shouters.

FAIR PROPHETS have existed in all
ages OF the world, and a, proof that
tn Is not exempt, the RepuJiicdh'S
prophesy that the Democrats would run
the city inLo a floating debt Of S75 900 or
$4,000 because they reduced the tax
rate from $l.20 to $l.l5 may be cited
Ia fact the Democrats have since ,.-
duced the tax rate to $l.lO and instead
OF having floating debt Of $1,000 or
$780, 600 they have $4,000 in the trea.

Unfortunately the turbine water
wheel, which has cost some $4,000 or
$l2,OOO, not more we are told, has not
yet proved success.
The Republican is not mindful Of the
truth when 1t says the turbine wheel
cost $40, 900. The wheel is there. The
contract for it was $4,000. Tie con
tractor entered into bonds that il would
be made to work before it was ordered
The remainder of the cost was expended

misfortune that happened to the Golfer
dam, This money was expended among
our own machinists and laborers. Mr..
