" For Residential Electors, J. K. WEATIIERFORD, of Linn, T. 0. OWEN, of Coos, J. 0. FULTON, of Wasco. CJBFIELD'S OITH. (Poland Iteport, psg 6.) "I never owned, received or agreed to receive any stock of tlie Credit Mohilier. or 'of the Union Pacific Railroad, nor any dividend! or profit ariaing from either of them." TUB POLAND COMMITTEE REPORT. . (Poland Report, page 6.) "The facta in regard to Mr. Garfield, a found by the committee, are identical wi h the cue of Mr. Wm. 1. Keller to the p iut of re ception of the check for cXD. He areed with Mr. Ame to take ten share of Credit Mohil ier atock, hut did not pay for the ame. Mr. Ames received the 80 per cent dividend! in bonds, and sold them for W per cent., and also received the 60 per cent, cah dividend which together paid the price of the took and inter eat and left a hnianc of tMX Thin ium waa paid over to Mr. Garfield by a check on the Bergeantat-Anns, and Mr. Garfield then un derstood thin mun wai the balance of dividend! after paying for the tock." The "Londaolcl." Geo. II. Williams, otherwise known as Landaulet Williams, will speak here to day in behalf of Credit Mobilier De (Jolyer Chinese Garfiuld. In defend ing Garfield Landaulet will be repaying Garfield for similar services. When Williams was attorney general in 1872, he purchased a landaulet at a cost of $1,G00 which the Government paid, for the benefit of his handsome and stylish lady. Subsequently $1,100 was paid by the government for harness and re pairs. When the matter became a subject of investigation, Garfield defended the aristocratic Williams, saying that the attorney-general was not expected "to walk to the Supreme Court on foot, or to rule in a ear, or go where ever h goc$ aa otfter citizena." Gar field believed that Cabinet officers were an oflicial aristocracy and not to be treated as "other people." In addition so the $8,000 salary a year Williams must have a fine carriage, fast horses and gilded harness to Ik) paid out of the public treasury. The pretence that the carriago was for the attorney-general in attending court was false. The $1,G00 landaulet, which attorney-gen eral Williams had the disbursing clerk of his department pay out of the con tingent fund, was for the private use of hiiiiself and wife. Even the liveried driver was borne upon the pay-roll of the Department of Justice, All this Garfield defended as the record shows. A fellow stealing makes them won drous kind. Shortly after this Williams was driven from office. Even Grant cor rupt as he was could not retain him. Later he was nominated by Grant for Supremo Judge, but so patent was the proof of his corruption, that a Repub lican Senate would not confirm him, al though Grant tried to force them by ending his name back, for the second time, after he had once been rejected. Expelled from oiliee in disgracs for hid questionable practices, humiliated by his own party, he still has the assurance to appear before the people of this state, expecting it is said to le rewarded by a seat in the United States Senate for his efforts in behalf of the corrupt Republican candidate. We can only hope this disgrace is not in store for our proud young state. The Radicals are now anxious to ac cept the result in Maine as a Green back victory. The Republican party must be extremely feeble indeed to al low themselves to be defeated by the collapsed rag baby idea. We shall not forget however that it is a Republican defeat no matter to whom the victory may belong. Gov. Giuns in his harangue the other evening promised his auditors an Bfrgressive speech; yet the Governor occupied a considerable part of his time in trying to clear the records of his candidates, and another part in set ting forth his own claims to greatness. Hancock Wrliulgalo. It will be remembered that shortly after Hancock's nomination the Radi cal press almost unanimously accused Hancock o writing a letter to Gen. Sherman announcing his intention of supporting Tildon by force of arms, should lie be declared President Their clamor at last forced the publication of the letter, which has proven the strong est campaign document of the Dem ocrats. The New York Tribune, which was- the loudest in its abuse, and called the strongest for its publicity, even refused to admit it to its columns. This rallying cry destroyed they be gan to cast around for other devices by which to frighten voters from. the sup port of Hancock. At last they sup posed they had struck a paying ledge, should it be properly worked, in the Southern Claims and Rebel war debt mina But alast they are again doom ed to chew the bitter cud of disap pointment, for Hancock has writen another letter admirably defining his position on those questions. The New York 'limea an ultra Republican jour nal says: "The assurance which he gives does credit to his honesty and in dependence, and is one which every intelligent citizen, whatever his politics will rejoice to receive." The following is the letter: Governor's Island, N. Y. Sept 23, To Theodore Cook, Eq:Di Sul Your letter of 20th is received I regret that you are disturbed about that bug bear "southern war claims." Teojilo cannot be misled by it to sup pose that "rebel olairas" or claims in the interest of persons who were in the rebellion can in any way or in any de gree be countenanced. The imputation of disloyalty such as used to be made against Democrats even when they were in arms defending the country, so far as it touches me, I denounce. The government can never pay a debt or grant a pension or reward of any sort for waging war against its own exist ence; nor could I be induced to ap prove or encourage payments of such debt, pension or reward. Nobody ex pects or wants such unnatural action. To propose it would insult the intelli gence and honor of our people. When rebellion was crushed so was the heresy of secession forever. It is a thing of the dead past We move forward not backward. If I were president I would veto all legislation which might come before me providing for consideration or payment of claims of any kind for losses nr damages by porsons who were in rebellion, whether pardoned or not In relation to union war claims the government's obligations to its de fenders coiuo first They are lasting and sacred. The public laws of civil ized nations do not in general recognize claims for injuries to property resulting from operations of the war. Neverthe less our government has treated with greut indulgence claims for the losses and damages suffered by union men from the military operations of the war of the union; but as hostilities were closed more than fifteen years ago, claims of that nature, now mostly in the hands of brokers or persons other than the original Bufferers, are becom ing stale and, in my judgment, might fairly be considered as ltarred by lapse of time; and if hereafter entertained at all, should lo subjected to the strictest scrutiny. Yours very truly, W. S. Hancock 1 Complimrnt to Hancock. From the Dubuque Telegraph, Greenback The leading republican papers, such as tho New York Tribune, Cincinnati Coinnicciftl and Chicago Inter-Ocean have virtually ceased their attacks up on Hancock and arc now directing their batteries against William II. Eng lish. Hancock should feel highly com plimented at this confession on the part of his opponents that his record and character are invulnerable, and that the only way in which he can possibly bo damaged is by an injury to his associ ate on the ticket Quite Possible. The New York Herald declares it quite possible that Hancock may be elected; "yet," itadds with feigned sur prise, "We hear of no Republican sell ing out his bonds at a sacrifice or wind ing uphis affairs in view of the coming ruin. The great American voter is go ing about in all parts of the Union with his tongue in his cheek laughing at the dolorous prophecies of ruin, Even the colored man and brother is no longer scared." It. is possible, the Cleveland Plain dealer admits, that General Hancock may have used some emphatic language upon certain occasions. He ia an em phatic sort of a man. General Gar field will do bis swearing after the re turns begin to come in on the night af ter election. Out of consideration to the other. Republican statesman who object to swearing, he will retire to acme unfrequented spot 1 Tfii Troth Pftciicly. Garfield's nomination means the en dorsement and approval in the most positive and offensive manner possible of the Presidential fraud of 1876-7. He had more to do with it than any other man, and was the only mart who occupied toward it a double relation. After the (lection Garfield went to New Orleans by request of Gon. Grant, without authority of law, as a partisaa He went there to assist his party in making up a case, and after his return to Washington, of all his associates he was the only man who took his teat upon the Electoral Commission. By every sentiment of fair play he ahould have been excluded from the jury box. By his own statement of what he did in New Orleans, Garfield had the charge of the returns from West Feliciana Parish. In one of the inner rooms of Packard's Custom House he did his work, examined the affida vits, and when they were not sufficient ly full, he prepared or had prepared additional interrogatories to bring them within the rules adopted by the Returning Board, and the result was that West Feliciana with its Democrat majority was thrown out In Wash ington, Garfield's vote was that Con gress could not go behind the returns thus made. Aa agent for his party he helped to make returns by manipula ting the evidence; and as juryman for the nation he held such evidence as conclusive and binding. Thomas A. Hendricks. Tote Oo the (hinee till A correspondent wishes to be in formed of the vote in the House on the Bill to restrict Chinese immigration. The bill passed the House January 28, 1S79, by a vote of 155 ayes to 72 noes. Of those who voted in the affirmative, 105 were Democrats and 45 were Re publicans. Of the 72 who voted in the negative, 55 were Republicans and 17 were Democrats. The Democrats were largely in favor of the Bill, while the majority of the Republicans were opposed to it General Garfield was hostilo to the Bill, and voted to sustain Hayes' veto of it The vote is given iii Volurane VIIL, Part 1, Second Sess ion, Forty-fifth Congress, page 800 and 801. The Silent Man Spcukt New York Sun. Gen Grant has written a letter an nouncing his purpose to engage active ly in the campaign. The Republicans must not be beaten now, he says, and four years hence there will be only two parties in the country. What two parties! Why, undoubtedly, as he believes and hopes, the imperial and the anti imperial party. At the head of the imperial party Gen. Grant expects to be himself. If General Hancock is elected now, he knows very well the imperial party would never again have any show. We trust the silent man's speech in his own behalf will bo in vain. Bailer and ConUIn;. New York Truth, (Iud.) Aug 21. A few days since Gen. Benjamin F, Butler and Senator Roscoe Conkliug held a long conference together. There has Wen considerable curiosity to know what this conference meant, and what would result from it Possibly Gen. Butlor's conduct since is a pretty fair evidence of what it .meant He has taken the stump for Hancock. Garfield came to this city and stopped at tho same hotel as Conkling the latter did not even give him a call. When the Republican conference took place, Senator Conkling being in the city, ho treated it with utter contempt, and refused to meet Mr. John Sherman. In Jiivcmbcr. From ths N. Y. Sao.
