GEN. GARFIELD'S CHANCE TO
MAKE A SENATOR.

II is supposed by many, who pre-
tend to have sources Of information de
MED TO the multitude, that Glenni W
Scofeld, of Warren, will be the com
promise candidate for United States
Senator, if the deadlock ia not soon
broken. scofeld's strength, say these
knowing ones, consists mainly in the
fact that General Garfield is warmly
in favor Of him, though Mr.. Scofeld in
tellectually and practically, is more
than the peer of any of the four candi'
dates who have received the support
of the two factions. General Garfeld's
love for Mr.. Scofeld dates from the
days of Credit Mobilier Mr. Scofeld
was slightly implicated, and, though
he promptly pleaded innocence of any
wrong intention, his constituents rele.
gated him TO private life. He emerg-
ed from his forced seclusion TO take the
appointment Of Register of the Treas.
ury, which he now holds. In General
Garfeld's troubles, when Oakes Amos
with his little book was encompassing
him roundabout, il is said that Mr..
ScOfeld came up to the help Of the
man from Mentor and was OF much
assistance TO him. The friendship bo.
tween the two, then and there formed,
remains intact.
1t is quite likely that if General Gar.
field shall distinctly intimate to the
struggling factions at Harrisburg that
he desires the election of Mr.. Scofeld,
sufficient number Of votes could be
secured TO make his success sure. The
immense patronage OF the Presidential
office, skillSully handled, in these days
of bribery and corruption, ought to ac-
oompllsh any set purpose within the
lines of the Republican party. Give
the elder Cameron the control of that
patronage and he would furnish a SEN
ator in twenty.four hours. General
Garfield, with n tithe Of the Cameron
skill in that sort of tactics, could settle
this whole question of the Senatorship
in one day. II he wants his old Credit
Mobilier friend, Mr.. Scofeld, let him
say so plainly-not publicly-to few
Of the bell-wethers of the party, and
Mr.. Scofeld will be the man.

A SHAMEl-It is reported that the
