The Old sSGarbIer.e

EATON, O., Aug. II, 1881.
ED. DEMoCRAT-In a recent dis
cussion with John P. Charles I was
treated unfairly. My first article,
entitled "Conkling VS.. Garfield" he
published entire and answered it
courteously, but in my second, head
ed Conkling VS.. Blaine" he omitted
about one-half. He even changed
the title to "Conkling Again." and
would not publish a line in opposi-
ton to MI. Blaine. Probably he
thinks the record" of the present
Secretary of State will not bear in
vestigation. The following is the
omitted part:
"The legislation of this govern
ment during a score of years, has
been influenced by two men-Blaine
and Conkling. They are both pos
sessed of powerful intellects, and
have been political opponents. Blaine
is very popular, and Conkling mo@
is unpopular. His unpopularity, l
think, will be of short duration
Let us examine the antecedents Of
the two men. Do you remember, Mr.
Editor, a certain page published in
the Gazette, just before Mr.. Hayes
was nominated at Cincinnati-abou
a whole page or more, describing the
corruption and crookedness of Mr.
Blaine? I do not know that Bene
dict Arnold could have received s
greater castigation than that sheet
gave to the present Secretary of State
Think one of the acts described wa:

tives, and using his influence will

tain railroad bill, in which he was
personally interested. But I have
not the time to write them, and yol
have not the space to spare to de
scribe one-fourth of the charge.
which the Gazette made against him
"Will you please explain how i
happened that MI. Garfield appoint
ed such a corrupt man to the highes
Office in his gift? Remember, 1 an
not giving Democratic authority
but 1 refer you to the leading Re
publican paper of Ohio. You can
not charge a 1.-THE of the corruption

against Blaine. Examine the Con
3 gressional Records, and let US hav
, your verdict. The Credit Mobile
and DeGolyer pavement money di'
not find it's way into the pockets @
Conkling. I do not say that Blain
had any connection with the last tw
corruptions. But it seems that h
! has at various and divers" time
been connected with affairs of crook
edness which would blast the repu
) tation of "smaller men," and yet h
is now a great pet of the America

1t is charged that the Star Route
contractors in New Mexico, Arizona
and other remote regions whenever
they had a lot of worn out horses or
broken down stages would send them
out to be destroyed by Indians, or
white men disguised as such, being
hired for the occasion by the con
tractors. The contractors would
then present their bills to the Gov
eminent, and receive high prices for
the horses and stages destl Dyed.

Reports from the sick chamber of

The New York Evening Post says:

The New York Evening Post says:
= The surrender of the Republicans
of Virginia TO the Read justers seems
to be complete. For the present the
drift towards coalition is too strong
to be resisted. A powerful impulse
was given to the movement by the
Republican members of the United
States Senate and by many Northern
Republican newspapers. They were

like, but it is too late to arrest its
consequences. The immediate re
suit seems to be an end of the Re
publican party in Virginia as a sep.
arate organization and a living pol
itical force. The coalition Will be
dominated by General Malone. He
has invited the Republicans not tc
come and rule over him but to come
and be ruled by him, and the invi

qualification. He may permit then
to preserve their committees, to tacE
their name to that of the Readjus

that he will be the master spirit o
the consolidated party nobody will
venture to deny. By and by Mahon'

In 1880, when by an Infamous act
of partisan Legislature, Springfield
was redistricted SO as to make it a
hopelessly Republican city, John
Wesley B~ookwalter voted the Dem

ticket was handed him, he refused
it, saying-''The time has come when
honest men should rebuke such DO
Etical trickery and corruption"
For this courage, the Republicans
are now telling that he ground the
Republican ticket under his heel
and voted in the wrong ward. The
ward he voted in had been his home

Cleveland Plain Dealer,

great uneasiness.
G. Fosters explanations do not
explain; they are muddled as bad as
his opinions on the temperance
question.
Foster is terribly frightened. He
is running from M part of the State
to an other begging for votes. A
nice business for the Governor of
Ohio.
G. Foster should write a card and
explain how it happened that he
made such haste to eat dirt at Ar
thurs feet when he thought Garfield
was dying.
John Sherman does not seem to be
enthusiastic in the Republican cause
this year. Come to think of it the
only man who displays any interest
in the campaign on that side is G..
Foster himself.
Every man who believes in roofing
out the "spoils system" ard destroy.
ing its baneful influence will vote
for Bookwalter and not for C. Foster,
who is the product of that system
and its defender.
There are Republicans, thousands
of them, who will not vote for a mar
who fastened to desert Garfield whe1
he thought he was dying and got
down and groveled in the dirt t.
Arthur, the enemy of Garfield. And
the man who did that thing was G
Foster.
The temperance people r no
much scared by Republican threats
They r not appalled, by the awful
warning that they are s'only helping
the Democrats to power" Such al
event is not regarded oy the temper
ance people as a political calamity

the farmers last fall that wool would
go up to fifty cents a pound if Gar

dupes why wool went down instead
of up.
There seems to be an opinion
prevailing that G. Foster would hav,
done better had he not attempted t.

can properly handle. When G. Eos
