Gen. Garfeld's Record.

1t is a startling record of the Repub-
lican candidate for the Presidency, that
We present in this paper. 1t convicts
him of having sold his votes and infu-
ence as a member of Congress. We
learn from his biographers that when he
entered upon his Congressional life, he
was poor. The same biographers also
show that he has become rich. Every
well informed person knows that while
the salary Of Congressman affords a
comfortable living, there are mot mil
lions in it" 1t does not enable the in
cumbent to accumulate fortune. This
record shows how the Republican can
didate became rich. He has thrived
upon venal legislation Look at his
CREDIT MOBILIER
transactions, as set forth in what Is call
ed the Poland committee report to the
House, February IS, 1873. The Credit
Mobilier was an inside corporation or
gained by favored stockholders of the
Union Pacific Railroad company. for
getting all profits Of building the road,
thereby defrauding both the govern
ment and those stockholders who were
not admitted 10 the favored inner circle.
4 part Of the scheme by which the gov
eminent was to be robbed, and actually
was robbed, Of some $50, 900, 900, was
that members Of Congress should be
kept quiet while the swindling was 90
ing on, and this was entrusted to Cakes
Ames, who was large stakeholder in
the Credit Mobilier and a Republican
member Of Congress from Massachusetts
at the same time. Mr.. Ames' business
was 10 distribute shares Of the Credit
Mobilier among Senators and Repre-
sentatives-placing them where they
would do most good" y part Of these
shares he gave to Garfield in considera-
ton Of his influence for the job as a
member Of Congress. The charge and
the proof are furnished in another
column.

After this testimony was given, Garfield
sought to break its force by trying to per-
suade Ames that the money he had received
was "a loan" Then the committee recalled
Ames and he testified in these words
