Garfield's Record.
Wliat Irpnb2ienn Voters Of;erfviuitthe U-fore named 85.000. br
llisDislilct Thuuslit of
It iu I sr.),
On tho 7th of September, 1876, the
Republicans of the nineteenth congres
sional district of Ohio opposed to the
return of Jamea A. Garfield to congress
met in convention at Warren, Ohio,
and organized. A committee on reso-
olutibns was appointed, which, after
mature consideration, submitted the
following: 'i
Pe it by this independent conven
tion of Republicans of the nineteenth
congressional district of Ohio,
Resolved, First That dishonesty
fraud and corruption lav. liecomo so
common, notorious and obvious in the
administration of our national govern
ment, as to bo not only humiliating
and disgraceful in tho estimation of
every honest and intelligent citizen,
hut to imperil tho prosperity of the
people, if not the stability of tho gov
ernment itself.
Second Resolved, That it is useless
and hypocritical for any political party
to declare for reform in its platform-i,
paper and public addresses while it in
sists on returning to high olricial p'av
and power men who have been notor
iously connected with tlio very schemes
of fraud which render reform necessary
i.nd urgent; that to send those to en
act reform who themselves need re
forming to make them honest is worse
than setting the blind to lead the blind.
Fourth Resolved, That there is no
man to-day officially connected with the
administration of our national govern
ment against whom are justly preferred
more and graver charges of corruption
t'uin are publicly made and abunduntly
sustained against James A. Gtirfield,
tlie present representative of this con
giess'onal district and the nominee of
the r. publican convention for re-election.
Fifth Resolved, That since ho first
entered congress to this day there is
scarcely an instance iu which rings and
monopolies hac been arrayed against
the interest of the people, that ho lias
been found active in speech or vote up
on the sido of the latter, but in alnio.-,t
every case he has been the ready cham
pion of tlie rings and monopolies.
Sixt'.i Resolved, That we especially
charge him with venality and cowar
dice in permitting Renjauiin F. liuthr
to attach to the appropriation bill of
lc73 that ever to be remembered infa
my, tho salary steal, and in speaking
and voting for that measure upon its
final passage. And charge him with
corrupt disregard of the clearly cxpres.
ed deii.aiid of his constituents that he
should vote for its repeal and with
evading fcaid demand by voting for
the Hutchinson amendment
Seventh Revived, That wo fur
ther arraign and denounce him for his
corrupt connection with the Credit Mo
bilier, for his fa! denial thereof be
fore his constituents, for his perjured
denial thereof before a committee of his
peers iu Congress, for fraud upon his
coiiKtituents in circulating among them
a pamphlet purporting to set forth the
findinz of said committee and the evi
deuce against him, when in fact por
tions thereof were omitted and garbled.
Eight Resolved, that we further ar
raign and charge him with corrupt bri
bery iu selling his official influence as
chairman of the committee on appro
priations to the DcGolyer pavement
ring, to aid thein in securing a contract
from the board of public works of the
District of Columbia; selling his influ-
' euce to aid sa.tl ring in imposing ujon
the people of said district a pavement
which is almost worthless at a prioe
three tin.rs its cost, as sworn to by one
of the contractors; selling his influence
to aid said ring in procuring a contract
to procure which it corruptly paid $97,
000 "for influence;" selling his influ
ence in a matter that involved no ques
tion of law, upon the shallow pretext
that he was acting as a lawyer; selling
"T. 2 " . - ,
his influence in a matfyT so palpable and
, . . , . . i . , .
i, - .- , j . t
i by an impartial and compeU-nt court
, , i
upon . , solnlytned.
Ninth-Resolved, That we arraign
him for tl.cfraa lalent mannrr in which
hi atfa,roptd in 1 his tph delivered at
. buu v c i. ma w - w , - -
Warren, on tho 18th of September 1874,
to shield himself from iust consuroin re-
falsely representing, in said specoh,
that the congress of the United States
were not responsible for tho acts of said
board, nor the United States liable for
the debts created thereby, when in
truth and in fact, as he then well
knew, the said board of public works
and the officers of said district were, but
tho agents and instrument) of congress
and the United States was responsible
for the indebtedness by them created.
Tenth Resolved, That we arraign
him for gross dereliction of duty as a
member of congress in failing to bring
to light and expose the corruption and
abuse in the sale of post traderships for
which the late Secretary Belknap was
impeached, when the same was brought
to his knowledge by Gen. Hazen in
1872 and can inly account for it upon
the supposition that his manhood was
debauched by the mrruptiou funds then
by him just received and iu his own
purse.
Eleventh Resolved, that the law of
1873, known as tho act demonetizing
silver, was enacted in the interest of
gold rings, bondholders and capitalists
and against the interest of the taxpay
ers and without their advice or knowl
edge. That this act, by a single blow,
lias seriously crippled our power to ro
suino specie payments or puy our na
tional debt in (oin. ' That no sufficient
reason hits yet been given for this legis
lation, so dishonest and palpable in its1
discrimination in favor of the small
creditor class and capitalists and against
the great debtor claw and tho indus.
trial interests of tho country. That
James A Garfield during the last ses
sion of congress was tho conspicuous
defender of this crafty attempt to sacri
fice the interests of the peoplo to bond .
holders and foreign capitalista That
when it was proposed to restore the
old silver dollar to the place it had
held during our history as a nation as a
legal tender for all debts public and
private, he denounced the attempt as a
"swindle on so grand a scale as to make
the achievement illustrious" and as a
'scheme of vat-t rascality and colossal
swindling."
Twelfth Resolved, That neither
great ability and experience or eloquent
partisan discussion of tho dead issues
of the late war will excuse or justify
past dishonesty and corruption or an
swer as a guaranty of integrity and pur
ity for the future.
Thirteenth Resolved, That believ
ing the statements iu tho foregoing res
olutions set forth, we cannot, without
stultifying our manhood and debasing
our self respect, support at tho polls,
the nominee of the Republican conven
tion of tlii.i district for re-election, nor
can we without surrendering our rights
as electors and citizens, sit silently by
and sec a man ko uuwerthy again sent
to represent us in the national legisla
ture, i That strong in the conviction of
right we call upon the electors of the
district, irrespective of former or pres
ent party attachment, who d.tsire hon
est government to uuito with us in ear
nest, faithful effort to defeat the r
eloo i n f Gen. Garli 1 1 ai d ele: t i l
his stead an honest and reliable man.
The result of this expose was a ma
jority for Mr. Garfield of twenty-nine
hundred and ninety one less than the
head of the Republican state ticket re
wived in the nineteenth district Gar
field's majority was 3.2C9 less in his
