recent attack upon the memory of James

Tlmo result has been to stir up a cloud
which must obscure to n ccrtani degree

donmi od , and at the time of hie decease
anydiet but the most fulsome raise
of tliis limnyskiel man was rcgarded as
scandalous. 'T'hose who know General
Garfield best said at time time that his
death was Limo best thing that could have
hnppcned to lmim , so far as lea place in
future history was concerned , This
opinion , however , has since been modm-
fled. Ho was placed too high , and there
is now' ' n reactionary feeling which cony
leave him too low
He liad many great qualities , mingled
with ninny potty ones. lie was a man of
unctnnnion intelectual powers. Ilut he
lacked moral courage. His own convic

him. Ho hover know how to act without
consulting other opinions than hie own.
Naturally such a tomperaumit made a
great deal of unhappiness for Gen , Garfield -

title of uncerain. Before publicly

in time senate. Dorsey was also from
Ohio. lie was time sworn friend of Boss
Shejherd , who was calling upon congress
at time time for more n ) nro priationa ,
Penney became very intimnato with Car-
field , id was very seful to Shepherd in
getting npjropriattons through time coin-
untteo , Ao limo then really thou'lmt any
ntouoy was made by Con. Garfield in
this friendship. lie believed in a very
liberal policy toward Washington , When
some of has favors tyoro made up to him
by his being employed during a vacatmon
of congress as time attorney of the Do
er mvomont contract , arfield handled
dled himself so ntnder time criticism -
cism of time period that an believed his
fee as a lawyer of $1)000 was a bribe.
Time real fact is , Om lold was not cut out
for time career of , successful rogue. Ho
was nltogethor too hungry for praise anal
too timid under fire. Ho was always
poor. Nearly every ere wino had tiny-
timing to do with him took advaanaago of
leis intpraetibilit .
Ho was for a lon time lead about with
a ring in his nose is Swaim the resent
judge advocate general , Swaim is a man
who had made in time army U Y
lending out money at usurious rates.
Swaim hind a mortgage on Garfield's house
in Washington at the time of time Chicago
convention. It was his kindness as a
money-loader - that made him so intimate
withGarfeld. Garfield had always strug ,
6dell with , poverty. Given largo means
Imo nti ght have'becn more independent ,
but until im was' ' rcaidbnt hug ws always'
in want of money. His house on 1 street ,
mortgaged to Swain , was so shabbily fur-
iished as to look like a boardiugliouse. ,
The only room that was well furnished in
his house was his library , Mrs. Garfield
always looked pinched and uilappy when
outin society , Time Garfields did not
live ] Happily , Mrs. Garfield would have
separated from the general years before
hind it not been for their children. This
is as well known in Wasluington as it is
unknown outside of Washington.
In 1871 and ' 1872 Garfield became infatuated -
fatuated with a newspaper correspondent
by Limo unite of Helen C. Barnard. She
praised his noble brow aridsilver-tongued
eloquence in her letters , and he in turn
read to her his undelivered speeches for
her literary approval. It trims this rein ,
tionshi ) luclt minht have been more
iunocemit that it IooTced that led to the
estrangement of Con. Garfield and lima
wife. . This ostrangemnemit , which was not
generallyknown'to ' the world , will explain
the strange fortitude of Mrs. Garfield
during her husband's last illness and her ,
composure since his death.
It is unfortunate for Gen. Ghrfield's '
memory that Ito was mot able to inspire
'more trust and confidence in hits asso-
ciates. J'olm Sherman and many others
believe , Garfield betrayed Sherman at
Chicago. After the bOnvemition it was
only thorough great difficulty and the
most elaborate promises that Garfield
secured the support of the republican
leaders.
Nearly every one of thorn 'was ' afters
wards disappointed fn his way of ful
s'filling ' these promises made before time
electron ,
An old school friend of Garfield's , liv-
ing in Ohio , was equally disappointed.
Ho was a poor man. He called at Mentor -
tor after time cloction. Garfield put his
arni around him and gave hint good
hug , as he said to hi : "My dear old
frid you must come to asliin ton
when.1 aim 1president , nud I will bake
acre of you. You aimall be poor no
longer.
Time man canto. Each day ho called at
time wiuito house after Garfield was niado
president. The latter art's received
hilt voiti' kind ( + and iiivarablY naked
t hunt to stay for lunch , but no word was
said about the office. Finally time poor
I man's money was gone. Ho went up to
time White house in a desperate mood ,
Gun. Garfield mot him withh n hug. Time
resident was in a very genial mood ,
. Ho said to his friend , with his arm around
his node , "Do you know tlmlit I just love
you' , "
This broke time suffering friend down ,
Ho throw , off time arm of Limo president in-
dignantly as Ito said : "D--your love ;
I want an office , " But lee never got it ,
notwithstanding the ninny promises ,
If Gun , Garfioldlmadlived le would not
f have boon a popular president. . Ho alight
have meant well but Imo would have boon
powerless to cart out lime good inten
, tiona , Practically James G , Elaine was
resident during ime Garf old adminiatra-
- Elan , But time Swaim and time Rockwell
o chums wore hard at work to drive Blaine
I out and Lucy might have succeeded not.
witistanding Elaine's remark that lie
never fought with " ) ientirea , " Time
r chums would have made illion5 and
- would have covered Garfield with end-
o loss scandal. Swami owes his position as
s judge advocate general in time array ted
mortgage on the Garfield house. This
utlieo was only the beginning of what lie
, would have done hind Garfmold lived ,
