GENERAL GARFIELD
AND THE DE GOLYER PAVE
MENT.

One Of the charges persistently
made against General Garfield is
that he got $4,000 for his official in.
fIuence in the De Golyer pavement
job.
General Garfield was pursued dur
ing the investigation of this matter
by Mr.. Benjamin R. Nickerson,
whose point was that the contract
for the pavement was conditional
upon a Congressional appropriation,
Garfield being at the time Chairman
of the Committee on Appropriations.
The hostile insinuation is that Gar
field did not do anything for his 'fee, "
In the course of proceedings
touching this matter, Mr. Garfield
examined Mr.. Nickerson, and the fol-
lowing is from the official report
''By Mr.. Garfield: @. tReading

of the Board of Public Works to De

THE PURITY OF THE BALLOT,

Without which there eal be no hon
est government, and which has been
50 fsgrantly violated by the Democ.
raoy of the South, was thus ably dis
.cussed:
The leading question now before
the country is most admirably stated
by General Garfield in his letter OF
acceptance, to be "the right Of every
eIectOr, freely and without intimida-
ton, to cast his lawful vote and have
it honestly counted, and that the Po-
tency of his vote shall not be de
stroYed by the fraudulent vote OF
another person" A people may be
deprived of their will and authority,
by being prevented from exercising
the elective franchise, or by having
their own honest votes Overborne by
fraudulent and dishonest votes,
The right to an honest ballot and
an honest counting Of it, is essential
and vital, and it is the sacred duty Of
the General Government to see that
every citizen is made secure therein.
The greatest crime of the Democratic
party, since the close of the war, has
been in the suppression of the popu-
lar will in some of the States
of the Union. They have ac-
comphshed this in many instances,
by fraud and intimidation The
scenes enacted by them in Missis-
sippi and other places, are a disgrace
to the civilization of the age. Whip
pings, sCourgings and murder have
been their instruments. In other
instances they have cast and
counted tissue bollOts, or ballots for
fictitious persons, enough to overcome
the honest votes actually cast by the
real voter. In many other instances
both plans were adopted in the same
election precinct Thus, by force,
violence. and fraud, the actual will of
the people is. suppressed. This is
not only a crime, but it is the highest
moral treason-teasOn to the gov
ernment and to the people.
No argument is required to eS-
tabIish the correctness of this propO-
sition. The old maxim, "Vo1 bobHh
Jor Dsi," has more significance in
America than in any other country.
Here all citizens stand on an exact
equality in point of rights. Our in
stitutions and laws regard with as
much tender care the interests and
welfare the labOrer in the mines, or
the unIettered freedman of the South,
as those of the President of the
United States. The vote Of the man
who digs bitches or helps grade a
railroad, counts just as mucn and has
as much potency as that cast
by the owner of millions. Any
Interference with the ballot box, or
any act BY which it fails to give forth
the real voice and judgment Of the
people, is a blow at the heart Of our
whole system of free government.
Knowing this truth, and learning
that terrorism, violence, and fraud
were prevailing to an alarming extent
in some portions of the country, es-
peCially in the South, the RePubh-
can Congress, seconded by a Repub-
lican President, enacted laws for the
protection of the voters throughout

DEMOCRATIC HYPOCRISY.
The old Democratic trick of nomi-
mating a man for President who does
not represent the principles of the
party, merely for the sake of deeeiv-
ing the people and getting into
power under false pretenses, was
thus clearly exposed;
This thing of putting forward a
Union General, or a candidate whom
they have heretofore denounced, is
no new thing for the Democracy.
In 1864 they nominated Mcclellan,
in the hope that the loyal North
would believe they were loyal too.
But the patriotic North. saw through
the subterfuge. They looked be
hind Mcclellan to the Rebel hosts
gathered in his rear. So in 1872,
they. seized upon Horace Greeley,
whose fame as a Philanthropist was
world wide This did not avail them.
The people said, ave honor Gree
ley, but we dare not trust the men.
who are supporting him, and will
surround and make up his admins
ration."
As in 1904 and 1872, so it is to-day.
The situation is not changed. The
interests of the Nation are as vast
and important now as then. The
patriotic people of the country in
whose minds the great struggles and
sacrifices Of the last twenty years are
still fresh who remembered what a
tremendous price in blood and treas
ure has been paid for the Nations
life, are not yet ready to turn all
this over to the hands of covert enc
mics, or recently converted friends
Of the Union.
