More Of Garneld's Record.

One day Gen. Garfield was.
walking leisureIy along with his
head down, thinking, when be.
encountered a force Of the ene-
my six thousand strong. He
was suddenly awakened to his
peril by an invitation to surren-
der. 'aNeycr!' exclaimed Gen.
Garfield ,ineunting-a, stumpand
surveying, the ,mipions of the
icJhftddfae4 with the utmost
e; c.aonlbiacency- 'hneverl'' It was
previous to "Pinafore, +" and the
besotted confederates did not
know enough to- ask the ques-
ton which would have suggest
ed itself even then to the en-
lightened mind. They were
stunned by the magnifcence Of
the man and knew not what to
do until it was too late. The
General, papsing to eject a chew
Of tobacco, opened his mouth
| widely, @Good heavens!" tho
commander Of the enemy shrek
ed, "he's going to make a speech
Stop him-stop himi' But il
was too late. The General be-
gan promptly, and in ten min.
utes the enemy, with the excep'
ton Of one man, who fortunate
ly fled at the opening words Of
his speech, were all dead. Tn
General slowly descended from
the stump, remarked "Sjc sem
per tyraa,lis,",, or words to tina
effect, took a fresh chew Of to
bacco, and quietly rejoined hi
regiment; and as for the sol
survivor of the unhappy rebels
he told the story in these mem
orabIc words-''IIe did it wit
his jawbone.'

all this snarl Of testimony and

varying degrees of guilt or gull

let us go slowly over the list.
James a. Garfield, of Ohio, had
ten shares; he never paid a dol

the investigation began he wish

They Don't Like It.

Republican papers throughout
the country, forgetful Of their
conduct in '6S, ~ and '76, are
loud in their clamors against a
campaign of mud throwing"
and insist that the discussion OF
the present canvass be confined
TO tie issues between the parties
and that the personal character
of the candidates be entirely
eliminated. The selfish motives
that lie back Of this demand are
most apparent. Garfield and his
colleague, Arthur, have not rec
ords that will bear the "broad
sunlight of publicity" and natu-
rally enough theirorgans are anx-
ions TO turn public attention
from men to principles, purpose
ly forgetful of the fact that an
honest and economical govern
ment cannot be expected from
corrupt and dishonest office
holders. That the records Of
the Republican candidates werC
known, and their efforts apprc-
ciated by the organs Of the par
ty that now cry out for a cam
paign conducted on high mora
principles is shown by the fol
lowing extracts from ofiicia
documents and from Republican
papers -l,printcd just before o.
shortly after the nomination
And in the light Of tho s. express
sions we are led to ask who frs
commenced mud throwing in thu
campaign:

Washington Letter.

sNP0Ot"t Correspondence 81 ne OBSERVER
WASHINGTON, ID. c., July l, 1890
The letters of acceptance of
the two candidates will be read
with much interest. That of
Gen. Garfield, considering the
bitter animosities which arose
at Chicago, and the fact that he
was not in accord with his own
party or with Mr.. Hayes on the
Deputy Marshals bill of the last
session of Congress, will need
to be written with great care or
it will still further ALLEVIATE par
ty support. Gen.Hancock, spot
less himself and representing as
no other man could the idea of
restored good Will among our
people, will need only write a
simple letter of thanks. His
past is what most satisfactorily
explains his views. Gems. Wea-
Yer and Dow will perhaps not
think it necessary to write any
thing.
The reason given by Senator
Cameron for declining the chair
manship Of the Republican Ma
tional Committee is i'll health.
lie promises, however, to do all
that his feeble state of health
will permit. Senator Conkling
and many other Grant Republic
cans are also in d bad way phys
ically. 1t is a gratifying fact
that all Democrats Of promi-
nencc are in excellent health,
and that they purpose making a
very vigorous fight for Hancock.
The National Republican of
this city says it has no mud to
throw at Gen. Hancock for any
thing he did in the matter of
Mrs. Surratt's execution, as he
simply obeyed orders. This is
commendable, being just. But
the same paper publishes a lot
of trash which goes to show that
the General is a Catholic. Know
ing this to be false, the Rcpub-
lican ought to be ashamed to
publish it. The General is not
"A member of any church. His
wife is a communicate Of the
Episcopal church, and the Gen
cral attends with her. OF
course it is nobody's business,
and the mention Of such a mat
ter for the purpose of injuring
"A candidate is one Of those things
no paper should be guilty of.
The statement OF the public
debt for to-day will show a very
small reduction. The payments
for pensions this month has been
large, and the Secretary is saw
ing up to meet the heavy appro-
priations available to-day. But
the thought suggests itself that
the Republican Convention was
held too early. If that had been
postponed till August, Secretary
sherman would have got in two
more months at twelve or four

1t would seem to.haye become
rule that candidates for Presi:
dent should be taken from the
large States. No doubt Senator
Edmunds was the very strong
est man whom the Republicans
could have nominated. He could
get all the votes that any other
candidate could count upon, and
more besides. Why, then, was
he not taken? In answering this
question we must not forget that
Mr.. Edmunds is a man who acts
for himself. lie is self-willed
man, and if he were President
the Administration would be
conducted according to his wish
es. Nobody else could run HIM,
and this would not suit those
political managers who wish to
stand behind the throne and hold
the reality ofpower. This, how
ever, is not the great reason why,
as we suppose, Edmunds wasn't
nominated. Edmunds comes
from small State, Garfield from
a large one. The man from a
big State, who is thought to
bring with him large number
of electoral votes, is much mole
likely to be nominated than a
man from a small State. The
moral Of it all is that a young
man who goes West should set
tie in large State if he wishes
to become President before he
dies.

THE TIDE.-We remember of seeing

written in favor of a monarchical gov
ernment for this country. There was
also about the close Of the war, or soon
after, paper established in New York
called the Imprialist, and which advo.
Gated the establishment of a monarchy.
1t did not long survive however, as
the party then in power were satisfied
with the power they held and enjoyed.
There is no doubt however, that
rather than lose that power they
would not hesitate to change the gov.

CAMERoN's WAY.--A Washington
telegram to the Philadelphia Tine,
says The Grant men here are very
sure that they can carry tho Pennsyl.

One of them said to-day that it made
no difference what instructions the
county committees might give the dele
gates to the State Convention. When
Cameron got to Harrisburg that would
all be settled. Instructions would be
given there, and no other instructions
would be binding. The position of
the Grant men is this: After looking
over the field they viii put Grant in
nomination if he can be chosen on the
first ballot, otherwise they have deter
mined not to present his name at all.
They are sure that he can not stand a
close and hard fight, but il nominated
AT all must DC nominated with q rush.
In short, his nomination must bo the
natural end of the enthusiastic boom
in which the movement was started.
1t may be that the result of the Penn.
sylvania State Convention will settle
his candidacy, but Cameron and his
friends here say that if it does it will
be because they will permit it. They
say they are sure of Pennsylvania if
they want it, but that they do not
want it if their favorite's nomination
on the first ballot is out of the ques.
ton. This is the way in which they
appear to be anticipating defeat
