The following sketch of the life Of
Gen. Garfield, Republican nominee for
the Presidency, we find In the Vlcks-
burg Commercial of the 9Th:
Mr.. Garfield was born in Cuyahoga
county, Ohio, on the 10th Of November,
1881, and is now in his forty-ninth
year. He graduated ut Williams Col

The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1880-07-02

whose term will expire on the fourth
day of March, 1851. He is the acknowl-
edged leader of his party in the house
of representatives. He was mixed up
in the Credit Mobilier scheme, and his
connection with the contract for paving
the streets of Washington has caused
it to be asserted that he was bribed
into. the support Of the bill in CON-
gress. He is not the strongest man his
party could have nominated by any
means.
The record of Gen. Garfield is vulner-
aole at every point.
He was grabber Of back pay.
He was from head to foot covered
with the mud and fifth Of the Credit
Mobilier. .
He Is high tariff man, although he
balls from q free trade State.
He will unity the South, because he
has been leader In every harsh and
vindictive measure of hostility against
It, but recently being the champion of
troops at the polls and the placing of
the military over the civil authority.

at present is not matter of general
knowledge, will appear in true figures.
Statistics Of the advance or decline of
various industries will be awaited with
great solicitude, for these have special

stated the forth coming report will be
awaited with far more interest than
any other promised book can arouse.
