Garfield's Explanation,
N. Y. Express.

Mr. George William Curtis was abso
luteIy satisfied with Garfield's explanation
in 1873, and has remained satisfied unto
this day, He has seen no reason to change
his opinion probably because be has read
none of the reasons why he should change
il. He differs from the views OF the Poland
Committee presented when the facts were
fresh in their mind, and after painful
effort to acquit him and other Congress
men. He differs from over eight thou
sand of Mr. Garfeld's Republican consti-
tuents in 1874. who we're decidedly not
satisfied with his explanation. He differs
from most of the Republicans OF Boston
who knew Mr.. Cakes Ames we'll and
regarded him rs truthful and essentially
upright; indeed. he believes that Mr..
Ames was liar. He thinks Mr.. Gar
field and MIR. Kelly. and the other men
implicated in these crooked transactions,
actually borrowed the precise sum of
1929 each OF Mr., Ames at time when he
had no money to lend. when he says
he did not loan them any money. and
hat Garfield begged him to call the 1929
loan IN order that he might escape with
out apnearing to commit perjury. though
Mr.. Bingham who was caught in the
sam.' meshes, frankly confessed the whole
business. Mr.. Curtis seems to be afflicted
with peculiar ideas of judgment. His
reasoning. reduced to logical form. APP
pears to be as follows: ID An honest
man would not have taken Credit Mobilier
stock and dividends and then have denied
taking them under oath. To MIR. Gar
field il an honest man. e. Therefore,
Mr.. Garfield never held dollars worth
of the stock nor took a dollar in dividends,
We suspect that such reasoning would
hardly satisfy any business man of aver
age intelligence. even though he were
destitute of ''culchure.'
