Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1881-12-07

StructIOn on the act. 1 say tnat tne
removal of the President was an act
of necessity from the situation and
for the good of the American people.
That is the idea that want you to
entertain and not to settle down on
the cold-blooded idea of murder, be
cause l never had the first concep-
ton of murder in the matter. The
doctors killed the President
BOARD Bills.
1 believe that owe lady boarding
house keepers in Washington about
one hundred and fifty dollars.
CoSKIING.
Twas on speaking terms with Conk
ling on the street. He always re-
turned my salnta.ions. He never
promised to help me into the Paris
Consulship. l never suggested it to
him; l thought my personal inilu-
ence with the President, Blaine and
Logan would see it through to the
Senate, and then Conkiing would as a
matter of course see it confirmed.
On the 10th of the May, 1881, l wrote
to President Garfield: Il have got
new idea about 1891 If you work
your position for all it is worth you
can be nominated and elected in 1884.
Your opponents will probably be Gen
eral Grant and Mr.. Blaine General
Grant will never be SO strong again
as he was Just after his trip around
the world Too many people are
dead set against third term and l
do not think he can be nominated,
much less elected Two National
Conventions have slaughtered Mr..
Blaine on account OF his railroad
record. The Republican party are
afraid to nominate him. This leaves
the course open to You Run the
Presidency on your own account.
Strike out right and left The Amer
ican people like pluck, and in 1884
We will put you in again" And /
added a postscript to the letter: Il
will see you about the Paris Consul
ship to morrow, unless you happen
to send my name in to day.
BLAINE
Garfield sold himself, body and
soul, to Blaine said that the Pres
ident would have no peace until he
got rid of Secretary Blaine.
WHIrE HOUSE PEOPLE.
On the 2nd of July / wrote let
ter to the White House people. l
meant all the inmates of the White
House, including Mrs. Garfield. l
said that the Presidents s removal was
a sad necessity; that life is a heeting
dream, and it matters little when We
go; that the President is a christian,
and that he will be happier in Para
disc than here, and 1 do now believe
the President to be happier than any
man on earth.
My Book
I claim that my book is collateral
gospel i undertake to say that the
book is the Bible brought down to
the present day. In 40 far as there
is any truth in any book, it comes
from the Deity; and claim that it
contains important truth. My state
ment that the Presidents nomina-
ton was an act of God, his election
was an act Of God, his removal was
an act of God, is my concise way of
stating things. If you want to see
specimen of that kind of style look
through my book.
PREDEsTISATIoy.
! / believa in predestination. ! claim
that | am man of destiny. Napo-
leon was man of destiny, though he
had different work from me l am a
man of destiny as much a. the Ss-
vior OF Paul or Martin Luther OF any
OF those religious men. 1t was my
destiny to obey the Divine will, and
let Him take care of i, and l have
not been hung or shot yet. 1 am sat
isfied with the Deitys conduct OF this
case up to the present moment.
DELCSlOSS-
/ | believe in personal devil. l do
not have devilish delusions When
pressed to do a thing l always in
quire whether it is the devil or God,
and so it was when the question of
killing the President came up My
defence is that the killing was the
act of Deity and not mine. A good
many people think am badly insane.
Let the experts and the jury decide
whether 1 am insane.
GARFIELD AND BLAINE TOGETHER.
l followed the President to Blaine S
house, one evening about 7 O'Clock.
They soon came out together. They
were in most delightful and coy
feilowship-iust as hilarious as two
Young school girls They had their
heads together Blaine was striking
/ the air. and Garfield was listening
very attentively. Their fellowship
was perfectly delightful 1t proved
what the stalwart and liberal papers
Were saving, to wit. that Garfield had
So. himself. soul and body. to Blaine
and thar p 80 was using Garfield to
destroy ,he staiwa.t clement of the
nation. That was the fn5t eTe eyl-
dence / had of their exceeding i2ti-
macy. and 1t confirmed what | had
been reading for week in the news
i papers This was positive eye con
iirmation Of what the newspapers
were saying. to wit. that Garfield was
entirely under Blaines control.
Blame is n bold, viei-ed. vindictive
man, and tt aie - &. us face.
( say. furth rnorr thss Mr Blaine is
morally responsible for Mr Garfield 5
death. II It had not been for Blaine s
influence over Garfield, Garfield
would have been alive today He
would not have disrupted the Repub-
lican party and imperiled the Repub-
