OUR ESTEEMED contemporary, the
ether morning, undertook to be pleas
ant over a paragraph in the HERALD,
which read: while the republican
nominee has been fairly riddled, cut
to pieces and fond to be a mass of
corruption, not single speck of dirt
has chung to Hancock. The Tribune
quoted from speeches and editorials
of prominent democratic orators and
democratic newspapers, a batch oil
ancient paragraphs in praise of Gen
eIal Garfield, With the intima:ion
tina. this Journal was alone in saying
that the republican candidate had
been guilty OF corruption. The Tribune
is ardent and enthusiastic in its praise
of Garfield, hence adopting its pleas
ant style. as we'll as its language,
The subjoined is given just to show
what idiots and knaves all the ether
republicans qaoted below are for diff.

We will finish by giving an extract |
from Mr.. Garfeld's sworn testimony
before the Poland committee, (repub-
lican) and what the committee re-
ported thereon:
GarfeId's Testimony-I never owned,
received, or agreed to receive snv stock
of the Credit Mobilier or of the Union
Pacific Railroads, nor any dividends or
profits arising from either OF them.
The COmBlittee's Rep0Tt-The facts in
regard to Mr. GARFIELD as found by
the committee, are that he sgreed with
MIR. Ames to take ten shares Of Credit
stock, but did not pay fer the
same. Mr.. Ames received the eighty
per cent dividends IN bonds and sold
hem for ninety-seven per ceLt. cash
dividend, which, together with the price
Of the stock and interest, left balance of
,329. This sum was paid over to Mr..
GARFIELD by check on the sergeant
.t-srms, and Mr.. GARFIELD then lE1aSer-
TODD this sHna sOds the balance Of divi-
lends after paying COR the stock.
Truly, the doctors disagree. II
