Gen. Garfeld's Portrait Painted by
Leading Democrats.

The Presidential candidate of the Republic
can party need not look among his political
friends for testimonials of his great public ser
vices and his unblemished character The
most orthodox Democratic authorities furnish
conclusive evidence of his special fitness for
the Presidency at this time. Witness the fol-
lowing terse certificate of integrity from the
pen of Don Piatt, editor of the Washington
Capital
Garfield holds to-day the honored position of be-
ing the only poor man among the political leaders
What more can be added to that significant
tribute? 1t contains avolume of reasoning,
and is in itself a satisfactory and complete re-
futation of the contemplate SANDER by which
reckless stump-speakers and newspapers strive
to blacken the name of an honest man.
Further in the same strain look at the testi-
monial from Henry Watterson:
He wouldnot do dishonest act for his own sake
or its own sake.
This compact tribute comes from the leading
Democratic editor at the South. Are any
additional expressions requested? Look at
the annexed opinion of Thomas A. Hendricks:
will tell you whom I think the Republicans
should nominate, and whom consider their strong
est man; he is a true man, a man of principle an
honest man and would make good President for
you could nominate. refer to General James A.
Garfield of Ohio.
These candid testimonials to the honesty of
Gen. Garfield are supplemented by the follow
ing manly tribute from the New York World
of May 30, 1872:
In the midst of the organized carnival of cofrup-
ton which has been gong on now SO many weary
months and years at Washington it is really salts
factory to catch glimpses now and then of honesty
for honesty's sake and without consideration of
arty. General Garfield of ohio, is Republican
of Republicans, but it is his simple due, which we
gladly pay him, to admit that he has done more
than any other single member of his party, during
the late session of Congress- to show that it is
impossible for man to act with Congressional
majority and yet keep his self respect and the re-
spect of honest men.

Conley Accepts the Challenge Of Maggie
of St. John.
Halifax, Aug. 25.-Conley, the Portland
oarsman who defeated Mckay last week, is
willing to accept the challenge of Maggie of
ST. John for a three mile race, provided that
it is rowed on Bedford Basin. The impression
here is that the St. John man will not row out
side of st. John. The rJwing association of
this city has received a proposition for boat
race in England on the Thames early in De-
cember, the total sum being $500 in prizes
divided among the four first boats. The Hall
fax association has decided to take part in it
provided the competition is limited to eight in
number, suggesting Trckett of Australia,
Boyd and Elliott of England, Courtney and
Riley of the United States, and Hanlon, Ross
and Smith of Canada.
