"THE FRIEND OF GARFIELD.u
How tho Letter May Have Bcen Given TO
the Public.


Who the "Friend of Garfield" Is who printed
Whitelaw Reid's midnight" letter is much dis
cussed. John Hay AYERS he is a thief A con-
siderable time ago IL was said that the heaviest
artillery that would be brought to bear on Blaine
would be the batteries manned by the real friends
of Garfield TO defend his memory from the as
saults of his berayers. This is proving true. Hay
says Garfield did not even handle Reds letter
when 1t was read to him. and 1t was Immediately
locked up; therefore II must either have been
stolen from its hiding place or from the wires
Blaine's deputy does not shy he did not furnish q
copy to his chief nor is 1t pretended that Garfield
did not have n copy. All this would not be incon-
sstent with Hays indignant denial that he left
his copy with Garfield. Both things might be
true Mr. Blaine probably might explain If he
wished.
Was not the Friend of Garfield an intimate
and chum Of the dead President? Is he n Federal
Office holder one of Garleld's avorite appointces,
whom no one would call q thief" but the legiti-
mate possessor of the copy he has printedY
No fact is better known than that Garfield In his
friendships was coniding and simple. His dispo-
sition to be chummy is well known to thousands.
He kept every scrap of writing that he conceived
might ever be of the slightest consequence to him
personally. Let no one be too sure how the pres
ent publication has happened. nor that this letter
Is the only ammunition with which the batteries
for the present.
When Garfield was in Congress, and yet un-
thought Of as a candidate. class of Republicans,
Journalists, and Others spoke of him as a corrup-
ZIONIST and triher in public affairs. After he
was nominated they rushed to his side as his best
friends and claimed to be most worthy Of his con-
idencc. People will think as they disposed
about how II happened that they actually became
directors of his administration. What they said
and did when Garfield was In ongress is no secret.
What they said and did after he became President
Is becoming known. They never changed their
estimate of him. nor. in secret. their language
about him. They believed they could make him
their instrument On this plan they proceeded
Although Rcld's midnight" letter Is enough, II
is not the only proof Ifthe present exposure had
not upset the censpirators they would keep silent

they do not cease their provocations, they will be

porary that it does not require brag or
buster to announce the true American
policys There is not and there has not
been any occasion for the Bombastes
Furioso style of diplomacy That quiet
dignity which is the outgrowth of con-
scious rectitude and strength is far more
becoming in great nation than the man
ners of Donnybrook Fair. There is no
portion of our people who are not in
favor of maintaining all our rights, But
there are a good many Americans who
don't think it is eXpedient or in good
taste TO haunt an unassailed right in the
faces of other nations and tell them
what we shall do in case they invade it,.
Vigor is q good thing in its place, cour-
age is eminently desirable, but neither
vigor nor courage need be displayed in
the demolition ofimaginary Notifications,
Just at this time the most important in
ternatiohal work we have in hand is to
secure n very material modification of
the Clayton-B ulwer treaty, Neither brag
nor buster will aid in the graceful aC-
complishment Of that object, The
United states and Great Britain, during
the administration of President Grant,
gave the world grand lesson-the
grdndest spectacle Of our age--in the
peaceful adjustment of difficulties SO
grave that no two other nations on the
globe could have settled them without
resort to war. We have not refrigerated
since that time, nor has England marched
backward toward barbarism, That our
just claim to dominate in the affairs OF
