The Fretdc7.ker, Of Milwaukee, the organ
of the Freethnkers and the Turncrbund of
North America, says editorially relative to
the chargeslnade and the mud thrown by
Democratic batteries at James a. Garfield as
follows:
II is only necessary to become candidate for
the Presidency to be reminded and accused oyer
and oyer axain of all the sins Of the past and In
the most exaggerated manner at that James
A. Garfield, the nominee OF the Republican
party for the Presidency, is just now ENJOYING
ihtsexperienco. Democratic organs have opened
the war and their n1ud-batterics are in full play
upon him. Garfield must be counted among the
