succ"a, os any party, then tie Re

IN the present campaign. it seems
that since thee had 10 resort TO TINS
last nl.cli.atiyc 10 meet and rebuff
the sworn testimony of Republican
Congrnssmen in reference 10 the
Credit Mubli;cr transaction, and the
record of the courts relating TO the
De Golyer fraud, they have grown
reckless, and deny cverythins' pre-
judicial to the reputation Of Mr.
Garfield The same course is pur-
sued towards their candidate for
Vice President, who Is ROW held
up as u paragon OF virtue, notwi'h-
standing he vas branded only few
months lief r. his nomination,
as Il dishonest men and dismissed
from office by Mr.. Hayes tor that
cause as we'll rs incompetency. Can
it be admitted for II moment that the
report OF the Poland Committee, the
findings of u Republican court, OF
the censure of the Administration,
fully informed of all the fncts upon
which to base an opinion, are all
wrong, because it serves the purpose
of q party, controlled by corrupt
leaders, to make it so? Bear Ill
mind the verdict in each instance
has been rendered by Republicans,
and as such should be entitled to
some credence, at least from Repub-
licans.
The last attempt to escape the
consequence of such acts has been
made the past week. The letter
written by Garfield to Mr.. Morey
is now pronounced forgery, and
the teleg,ams sent by Mr.. Jewell,
Chairman of the Republican Cen
trail Committee, to the Collector at
Key West, Florida. is by an lngen-
uous device made to do service
against the Democrats. The letter
to Mr.. Morev is i'll the possession Of
Truth, a journal published in New
York, and is pronounced authen-
tic, and in Mr.. Gartield's own hand
writing" But MI. Morey, like
Cakes Ames, has gone to the "un-
discovered bourne" atfording an
opportunity for the Republican lead
ers to lie their candidate out of the
position in which he is placed. But
one remarkable fact will be noted
by close observers OF the progress ol
events-the denial was made by the
Associated Press, for Mr.. Garfield,
before he had had an opportunity of
declare the letter forgery, and he
but obeyed party behests i'll signing
declaration that it was SO, just as
he concluded to deny his completely
with Credit Mobilier, after he had
confessed his connection with the
fraud to Judge Black.

tor and to G. j. Noyes, were as fol-

After the publication of these by
the Democratic Central Committee
and when it. was announced that llth-
osraphic copies were being made to
| substantiate their genuineness, the
Republican Committee attempted to
stop their circulation by an injunc-
ton from the courts. Failing in
this, they now endeavor to ex-
plain" their purport, and make them
accomplish double purpose. The
first, it is stated, related to informa-
ton that Democrats were exporting
men to the Southern States, TO take
part III the approaching election
IF so, why the attempt to prevent
the circulation Of photographic
copies? Does it appear at all rea'
scuable TINT the Democrat. would
export voters from Northern States
where they are so much needed, tc
waste their influence i'll States which
Republicans have taken so much
pains to classify as " solid for The
