From an interview in The Philadelphia Pres
August 30, 1850.

With regard TO the Credit Mobilier trans
action have said, and will always say, that
believe that Gen. Garfield told me me the
truth about it. He would not do anything
else. | watched the development Of the in
vestigatiOn, and l saw nIthing in that to alter
my opinion. will tell you, Gen. Garfelds
hands were clean in that transaction, as he
always has kept them, but he unfortunately
adopted the false defence OF those who ex-
pected sieI Ames TO swear them through,
instead Of standing on his true and good de
fence and leaving the guilty to their fate
There was his devotion TO party. 1t was urg-
ed upon him as a party necessity, and he
yielded to that consideration. as he always
will His party demanded the sacrifice, and
he made it. For that reason the Credit Mo-
bilier affair has not hurt him with his party,
and will not and ought not. l believe firmly
in Gen. Garfeld's personal integrity, and
base my judgment upon an intimate knowl-
edge of bis private walk and conversation.

Henry WaIterssn's letter To the New York
Democratic meeting. July 2S. 1880.
"The truth is, Gen. Garfield, though a
kindly man, and a man as l am persuaded,
who would not do dishonest thing for his
own sake or its own sake, is partisan of q
piece with his party"
SENATOR THURMAN AND THE. WORLD.
From the New York World. October 10. 1873.
Senator Thurman lets up Gen. Garfield, OF
bio in this amiable fashion:
stakes Ames swe srs that Garfield got ten
shares, and Garfield says that he did not do
anything of the kind. There was good deal
Of talk, but no proof against him, and am
compelled to say that Garfield gets out of it
better than anybody else, and on the whole,
there was not sufficient evidence to fasten
the corruption at his door,"
After considering all the testimony, on the
whole we concur in this view of Mr. Garfeld's
connection with the Credit Mobilier.

CLOTHING
Boys Clothing.

Ageneration has brought
about much greater change
in the clothing Of boys than

When OAK HALL began le

how to dress boys; and such
clothes as they got were
mostly made at home. The
same puzzle and practice
continue to this day in many
lparts of the country.
| A we'll dressed boy used
ito be a rare sight. He's rare
enough yet; for boys cloth
ing is a new subject even to
most clothiers. For several
years. however, we have
made more and more boys
clothing; studied the cuts
and colors and trimmings,
all Of which play SO import
ant a part in boys clothing;
and have been perfecting
our making, getting more
strength, less stiffness. more
ease and grace.
