The facts in regard 10 Mr.. Garfield,

shares of Credit Mobilier stock, but
did not pay for the same. Mr. Amcs
received the eighty per cent, dividend

sixty per cent. cash dividend, which,
together with the price of stock and
interest, left q balance of s329. This
sum was paid over to Mr.. Garfield by

did he begin TO posture in that capacity
than the ugly facts OF his peculiar rec
ord were hurled at him like a shower
of granite boulders, ltwas pitiless

to increase in force and volume as the
days wear on. But this came from
the opposition. IL was legitimate war
fare. He had, unfortunately for him.
self and his party, furnished abundant
material for his discontinue, and the
Democratic press was not neglectful
of the opportunity to use it. 1t is,
however, Mr. Garfeld's lot to be at.
tackled on all sides. Even in the house
of his friends, and in the body Of
which he is a distinguished member he
was assailed by leading Republicans.
They did not call out his name and
make direct and personal attacks on
him, but they got in their work in a
manner quite as efFectual and moro ar
tistic. 1t happened thus: The Deputy
Marshals bill-the same in substance
as that which Mr.. Garfield proposed,
which the Democracy voted for and
which Mr., Hayes yetoed-was before
the House for final action. The Re.
publicans were allowed three hours
for debate and they occupied that time
in abusing the bill. Knowing that
every word said against that measure
was a blow delivered at its father, the
Hon James A. Garfield, his Republi
can friends were not sparing Of their
blows. They seemed really to enjoy
their warfare on their Presidential can.

compromise measure "a sham" a
fraud" devise for introducing strife
at elections an expedient "tO nullily
the election laws" Even Mr.. Hawloy,
who has been supposed to be special
friend ofGarfeld, spoke of his profound
contempt" for Mr.. Garfeld's measure.
So the war went on for hours. Mr.
Cox and Mr.. Harris, on the Demo
cratic side, brought out in strong re-
lief the position of Mr.. Garfield on the
Deputy Marshals question. They
quoted from his speeches the most en-
phatic condemnation of the laws as
they stand, and showed that he was in
harmony with the position occupied
by the Democracy Mr.. Carlisle

forward too soon with his explanation.
If thorc are extcnuating circumstances,
let us know what they are. lfhc was
more fool than knave, us some of his
friends say, and has since found wisdom,
let him throw himself on the charity
OF the country, If tho Congressional
Committee got the whole thing down
wong in their report let him say so.
What is wanted is bis statement Of the
facts. 1t will not do for him to say,
with his friend Governor Foster, that
"those charges are settled" for the
only settlement that has been made
left him in very bad plight, The
Republican party cannot afford TO carry
on the campaign under the cloud that
is now hanging over its candidate for

THAT BIRD STORY.


THAT BIRD STORY.
Il's strange how little boys mothers
Can find out all they do,
II fellow does anything naughty,
Or says anything that's not true
They'll look at you just a moment
Till your heart In your bosom swells,
And then they know all about It.
For little bird tells
Now where The little bird comes from,
Or where the little bird goes,
II he IL covered with beautiful plumage,
Or black as the king Of the crows,
II bis voice is as hoarse % a raven
Or clear as the ringing Of bells,
know not-but this am sure Of
A little bird tells.
The moment you think thing wicked,
The moment you do a thing bad,
Are angry or sullen or hateful,
Get ugly or stupid or mad,
Or tease dear brother or sister
That instant your sentence he knells,
And the whole to mamma In minute
That little bird tells
You may be 10 the depths Of closet
Whore nobody sees but u mouse,
You may be all alone In the cellar,
You may be on the top Of the house,
You may be in the dark and the silence,
Or out In the woods and the dells-
No matter Wherever It happens,
The little bird tells
And the only contriyance to stop him
Is just to be sure what you say
Sure Of your facts and your fancies,
Sure Of your work and your play
Be honest, be brave and DO kindly,
Be gentle and loving as well,
And then you can laugh at the stories

Standing between the two great
contending parties, and receiving
the shots of both, We hear
the shouts as we'll as the secret
remarks that do not cross from
one to the other. Among the re-
marks we often hear Republicans
say they will not 60 over to, nor
Join, the Democrats but that they
will quietly vote for Hancock for
change, believing as we DO, that
the hard times are wholly altribut-
able to bad legislation, and that
to the Republican party under
corrupt, leaders which is not the
fault of the great body Of the par
ty. This course will not influence
the district or local elections, and
will no doubt mostly be done pri-
vately, but we believe it will be
largely done both East and West.
