A Washington letter says it seems TO
be 80 we'll known that the Republican
campaign treasury 10 lpty that no at
tempts are made to conceal it. A large
amount Of money has been spent in Maine
and no uncomfortable sum in Vermont.
Frequent remittances have also been made
to Ohio and Indiana. So far as the two
States last named are concerned, it is now
discovered that the money has been
poured through sieve, and the cry is
extremely urgent for more and plenty of
it. So much has been contributed by the
department employees here that the man.
ayers have not the face TO call on them
again, at least until after the October
elections, when another grand rally will
be made. But, casting their eyes around,
it was discovered that the employees of
the Government Insane Hospital had not
been called upon, and the circulars asking
for voluntary" contributions we're sent TO
every one Of them, even including the
poor scrub-women. The next thing will
be to ask the patients for 4 contribution.

The Independent, Congregational
newspaper Of Brooklyn, having charged
that the New York San puts forth cam
paign falsehood when it states that the
Poland Committee on the Credit MobiIier
matter 'sfound Garfield guilty Of bribe
taking, and, therefore, by direct implica-
ton, of perjury" that paper says, We
@umlt that our phrase was not absolutely
accurate, and we proceed to correct it,"
As regards Garfeld's perjury, it contin-
ues, it was really not q matter of impli-
cation with the Committee. Garfield
swore that he never owned, received, or
agreed to receive any stock of the Credit
Mobilier, nor any dividends or profits
arising therefrom; while the committee
found that he had agreed to take and had
taken ten shares of Credit Mobilier stock
and received dividends thereupon amount
ing to 1929; and that he understood that
this was dividend and nothing else.
Now, it is true that the Committee did
not say, in so many words, that Garfield
perjured himself. What they did say is,
that whereas he swore positively to one
thing, exactly the opposite thing was the
truth. Therefore, they really do not
charge him with perjury by any implica-
ton; they show him to be guilty of out
right, square, and unequivocal perjury.
Our esteemed religious contemporary
also says that they did not find him guilty
Of bride taking, because he did not " sup
pose that he was guilty Of any impro-
priety, or even ipdelicacy, in becoming
purchaser Of this stock" In fact, he had
no other purpose in taking his stock
than to make a profitable investment"
And yet he took the stock without paying
cent for it, leaving it to be paid for
from its own dividends, that is to say. he
did not invest anything in it, but got it
as gift and he took this stock in COM
pany dependent upon the Legislation of
Congress, of which he was a member,
and knowing it to be so dependent.
If this was not bride taking, there
cannos DO ~-y b-sIS ...l:..s .."d
mend this reflection to the orthodox con-
science of our esteemed religious contem-
porary just as earnestly as we commend
the conclusion Of the Committee that
Garfield perjured himself when he swore
that he never owned, received, or agreed
to receive any stock in the Credit Mo-
bilier, nor any dividends or profits arising
therefrom." H

WHAr GxN. FrrzHUGH LEE SAYS
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee says there will not be
any compromise between the Regular
and Readjuster factions in Virginia. He
said: I'VE (meaning the Regularly are
thoroughly organized and will carry the
State for Hancock. We are gaining
strength every day. There need not be
any fear Of the loss of the State for Han
cock" Gen. Lee said that he had been
informed that Gen. Malone was willing
to compromise, but that the Regulars do
not need to make any concessions in order
to carry the State. The General intima-
ted that the proposition of Chairman
Koiner, of the Regular committee, to
meet the Readjusters in conference, did
not represent the sentiment of the Regu-
lar Democrats Of Virginia.
