Hero Is the style Of reasoning shown
by Republican editors Of this State
and after reading It you can't help az
sisting Garfield TO stay at home
A good character IS tie best defense
a man can have, either in public or
private life, against the open or secret
attacks Of his enemies. There afe
some characters so grand and pure that
the foul breath Of gossip or vitnperous
tongue Of slander cannot iniure OF dis
trust They stand ike aiighthoase on
some rocky ledge, with the angry wave
beating around it's base, It's clear strong
light shedding friendly rays over the
troubled waters, the signs Of hope and
safety to the tempest tossed mariner.
As the strong foundation upholdg the
structure and makes it steadfast when
the storms burst upon It, 50 goal
character bears up the structure Of
manhood and shields il from the trials
and dangers Of life. Haze we an image
Of this picture in orr fair land Yea,
all, and justly more ono who has nc
quired that character and high standing
by the fruits Of lis own labor, bystbe
sweat Of bis own brow. Jas. A. Gar.
field, our gallant standard bearer, man
whose towering character and ability
has started n whirlwind Of popular en-
thusiasm which will sweep the country
from Oregon to New York a man
whose spotless reputation and superior
Craftsmanship, compared will, his oppc-
nent, shines ont in contradistinction az
day does to night.

His remarks on character are splendid,
bnl putting Garfield mp as lie "image
Of the picture" Is tie richest i9ke Of
the season. And then that sLirlwind
of popular cntlusiaanl" where Is it
And that "spotless reputation. Oh,
gyars can it be that lie brain in that
massive heal Of yours Is becoming af
feeted. We would like to say some
thing in re.ation to that aspotless repu.
tation" you speak Of, but fearing that
Republicans would say that we,were
''throwing mud" we will content our.
self with giving you one or two selec.
tions from Rcpnblieah newspapers.
This one, in relation to Gaiiield'a
Credit Mobilier indiscIetion, IL taken
from the Albany Erening .Joua7laz, the
oldest and most influential Republican
paper in the great state of New York,
Of the date Of Feb. 90, 1873:
Mr. Dawes energies with a complete
yindication. We think Mr.. Kelley,
Dir. Garfield, and some OF the Others
do not stand quite 10 we'll. What
is the nature Of their ofiensel Their
wrong was that they did not frankly
and fully tell the fr7tM-that they con
eealesi and preraricafei and niisge9re
seifed. This IS the whole of it. We
do not undertake 10 shield them from
this charge Of deception. They resorteU
10 Il and they must snfIrr the conse
quences.
And this one is taken from the \
Y. Tribune:
With varying degrees Of guilt o
guilty knowledge, every man Of them
with but one exception Mr. Blainel
has been obliged 10 confess that NJ som'
time he held this stock. and at SOM
time under stress Of conscience, let IA
hope, though that IS not folly proved
got rid Of il.
Go slowly now over tie list Of cal
nnlniated Congressman
/ James a. Garfield OF Ohio had tel
shares never paid dollar receiye,
i 1920, which, after the investigation he
gun, he was anxious 10 have considere,
as loan from Mr. Oates Arnea to him
Iself.
No comments are necnsary. In FAC
there is no use in aritipg much during
this eampaign--a ierrodnetion of Re
publican testimony is sni!icirnt 0 polit
