nouucing these charges against him, not one
was more prominent than the 81. Louis
Globe-Democrat. To show the consistency
of thst journal, its high estimate of COM
mon decency aud of common honcaty, We
quote some paragraphs from its columns,
Inspired by the presidents refusal TO submit
to the dcisticn of Mr.. Conkline:
"The new firm is Mullgsp and De Golyer,
II will 90 out of business in 1885, If not nus
tied out before"
And again:
"The pap,.uckers' brigade is in line
against Conalng, headed by Jim Blaine and
the Mulligan Guards"
And another.
"If the star route frauds are probed deep
enough the Blaine Literary bureau will To
found"
And thus:
"Mr Garfield Is trying 10 enforce policy
with patronage. Is he aware of the fact that
Andy Johnson was impeached for that very
thingm
And The most unblushing of sill:
"The democrats should enjoy this fun
while it lasts. It's Just a little family row in
the republican party. But when the next
election is ut hand we'll all kiss and make up
and shake the bloody shirt and wallop the
rebs again.
From these paragraphs it will be seen that
tho Globe Democrat declares, indirectly, 1T
least, that President Garfield was guilty of
the Do Golyer bribery accusation, and Mr..
Blaine of the charge of being bribed in the
Mulligan railroad MISTER. If the Globe
Democrat knows this 10 be true now, it
knew ii when General Garfield was csndi-
date for tho presidency, and in
endorsing him it must have endors-
ed fraud and corruption and dis
honesty, and this being 70, what
right has it to claim to DO our honorable
journal? By what right can it hope to WELD
an Influence with or command the respect Of
genteel and honest people! But it unblush-
ingly says, it is only little family fight, and
when election times come around all hands
will make friends, wave the bloody shir. and
whip tho rebels again. No matter what the
corruption republican leaders may have been
guilty of; no matter how much they may
have swindled the government, debssed the

Of power and place they'll all kiss, shake

and still keep in office. These are of the
kind of newspapers, then. that pretend to

cord shoulder 10 shoulder in other
burgleries and highway robberries, but they
never pretend to be anything else than

charging, note, that the republican party is
made up of rogues and corruptionists, nor
that President Garfield and Mr.. Blaine are
bribe takers. or ever were, or that they were
ever parties to any fraudulent and dishonest
transactions. We believe there are as mary
honest and upright men in the republican
party as in any other party, but We do say
when they submit to the guidance of such
