GARFIELD'S CASE FATRL Y

Ernest B. Anderson, of Boston, says
in pamphlet recently published by

could utter in his own defence were

his own sake, he had left them unsaid
They are the words of man utterly

shares of Credit Mobilior stock, worth
at least 81, 900. But leaving this aside
the appeal contained in these words il
the utterance of a fool or OF man
who thinks he addresses himself foi
1929 Who ever thought so If il
were clear y proved to me that he had
sold himself for $4,000, should be
strongly inclined to excuse him on the
ground Of temporary insanity, On nc
other ground could believe that the
Credit Mobilier was the first case in
which he had used his position for dis,
honorable purposes. Men at Garfelds
age, and in his position, do not sell
themselves for $4,000. But what has
that to do with the case ? Sell himself
for 1929 The chances are fifty to one
that he had sold himself hundred
times before, and escaped with impu-
nifty. Had he dreampt that this time he
would be found out it would have
taken high price indeed to tempt him.
But under ordinary circumstances,
$1,000 or $1,000 to corrupt man is
not to be thrown away, especially when
there was little to be done for il and

jobs generally were bigger than this /;
but it would not surprise me very much
if he had taken even small bribes on
occasions, when the risk was very
small. The simple fact is, that, in a
case like Gar6eld's, the amount OF the
bIibe has nothing to do with the case,
except to show how long he had been
corrupt, how often he had escaped, and
how cheaply he valued the risk of de-
lection. II in the Credit Mobilier case
he showed the slightest weakness, or
the slightest taint Of corruption, it is
absolutely certain that he had many
greater temptations before, and ii is
almost as certain that he yielded to

THE MAINE ELECTION.

The result OF the Maine election in.
dicates that the Democratic party en-.
ters upon the campaign with prospects
of certain success A few days before
the election, Senator Blaine is reported
to have said "Any thing less than
two thousand majority for Davis is
Republican defeat and the certain elee.
ton Of Hancock" And if it be true
that Maine has elected Davis by a
small plurality the prediction Of the
"Plnmod Knight" in all human prob.
ability, will be verified. No reasoning
upon the part Of the leaders OF the Re-
publican party can break the force OF
this position. The result in the Pine
Tree State will make Now York, New
Jersey and Connecticut true to Han
cock will place Indiana beyond doubt,
and render Ohio fairly debatable
State in October. And after the Oc.
tober storm shall have passed away,
and We read the cheering news that
comes from the Hoosier and Buckeye
States, then look out for Pennsylvania
to fall into hne and proclaim in thun-
der tones that the party of corruption
shall 60 down and the "Credit Mobil.
ier" and "DeGolyer" candidate meet
his merited defeat This is unmistak-
ably true. 1t is In the air; it is seen
in the drift Of public events it can be
read IN the actions of tho leaders of
the Republican party; they feel that
they have received q death-wound,
and they are sounding the alarm and
endeavoring to rally their frightened
forces for last desperate conflict,
In view of the present favorable out
look, it Is more than ever the duty of
every Democrat TO stand at his post
and work with earnest purpose. Let
there be no laggards in the army.
Let every man feel that it means work
hard work-until election day, and
then victory will be ours, and all sec.
tons OF the country rejoice IN the cleo
ton of the Democratic candidate to
the Presidency of the United States.

corps, mastering fifteen drums and
eight flies, enlivened the occasion. An
outdoor meeting was organized, with
Thomas Brockbank, of Union, as
President.
Winfield S. Luther, of Brady, was
the first speaker, and made pointed
and spirited appeal to the Democracy
to rally to the support of Hancock x
English,
J. F. McKenrick, Esq, of Clearfeld
was introduced and spoke upon the
great political issues Of this campaign,
arraignlng the Republican party upon
its own record, and referring to the
signs of the times which point to its
dissolution as tho party which can
claim the suffrages of the American
people, from the fact Of its ceasing to
be National in its policy, which tonds
to engender sectional strife and par
tisan prejudices, detrimental to every
National interest OF our American
citizens.
The Democracy were jubilant over
the good news from Maine, and the
meeting was adjourned with cheers and

we think they are willing to take most

in Maine will no doubt be received as
compliment, and an endorsement of

MAINE ELEcrIoNs.-A contempora

ments to the Constitution of Maine
have been ratified by the people, and
the citizens of that State and the
country will be spared the shame oi
future September political auctions, by
courtesy called elections, in the Pine
Tree Commonwealth.
One of the amendments provides
that plurality of votes shall elect the
Governor, and that amendment takes
effect at once on its adoption by the
people. 1t is, therefore, now the fund
amental law of the State, and a plural
Ity will serve either party as well as O
majority in this and future elections
Governor Plaisted's term will be two
years; henceiorth there will be only
biennial sessions ofthe Legislature, and
the State election, hitherto held in
September, will hereafter be held in
November. Connecticut, New Hamp
shire and Maine have recently abolish
ed their summer elections for State
officers Massachusetts, had done SC
years ago, and only Vermont and
Rhode Island adhere to the old New
England system of distinct State elec
tions, and the absurd and often vexa.
tious and costly theory that nobody
shall hold an office, regardless of his
plurality, unless be receives clear
majority of all the votes cast.
II required severe blows to hammer
common sense into the people oI
Maine about their September elections
but they have got it at last, and Maine
will now cease to be q Presidential
finger-board for disputing Nationa
parties.
