353. Garfield a Certificate of the Splendor of the American Constitution

Garfield is a certificate of the splendor of our Government, that says

to every poor boy: "All the avenues of honor are open to you." I

know him and I like him. He is a scholar; he is a statesman; he was a

soldier; he is a patriot; and above all he is a magnificent man, and if

every man in New York knew him as well as I do, Garfield would not lose

a hundred votes in this city.
