This is our " Conservatism !" and we APP
peal to every farmer, mechanic, laborer, to
every sensible mind, 10 decide whether those
who denounce and abuse the Conservatives"
may not at least be suspected Of being them
selves the most deadly foes Of the people.
LoCO-FoCo SUB-TREASURY SHOUTING.
Why is it that the Sub,reasury Loco-focos
are shouting so loudly What have they
gained to cause such Civilizations While we
admonish those who are opposed to that OBJ
noxious measure 1.-THE Sub-treasury) not to re-
linquish their exertions to defeat the election
of men to Congress who are pledged to sup
portit; we, at the same time, say to them, be
of good cheer, and undauntedly persevere in
your labors, for there is nothing that has yet
taken place that should alarm or discourage
you.
Let us examine a little how stands the
case in those States where elections have ia
ken place In Maine, the parties stand now
as in 1886. On the Sub-treasury its advo-
Gates may have gained one vote. In YER
mont, the probability is, when the vacancy
shall be filled in the District in which there
was no election, parties will stand the same
there In Pennsylvania, although there have
been changes, they have affected both sides
equally, so that in the result there has been
no change. In South Carolina, the Sub-trea-
suryites have gained one member. In Georgia,
there has been an entire change, with the ex-
ception Of one member against the admins
tration, though three Of the new members are
claimed as being in favor of the Sub-treasury,
which, if this shall prove to be the case, will
leave change Ia gain) of five votes against
the measure. In Louisiana, there has been
change of one member against the Sub
treasury and the administration. In Illinois,
the vote remains the same two against the
measure, and one (snpposed to be) for it
In Missouri, no change.
Now let us look at the States in which
elections are yet to take place. In Massa-
chusetts we think there is a greater probabili-
ty that the member who is supporter of the
Sub-Treasury will be defeated than that he
will be reelected. Rhode Island it will hardly
be doubted will re-elect opponents Of the Sub
Treasury. Connecticut in the State elections
Of last spring, and in the recent town cleo
tons, furnishes strong evidences that there
will be most thorough change in the delega-
ton Of that State, so that the seven members
who are now supporters of the Sub Treasury
from that State, will abdicate for an equal
number who will oppose it.
New Jersey is now doubtful. But let us
suppose that there will be change Of five to
support the Sub-treasury, as is now claimed
by its advocates. In New York we presume
no one counts upon an accession Of strength
in favor of the Sub-treasury. We believe
there will be falling of, at least Of FIVE, and
possibly eight or ten, members from the sup
port Of that measure. Delaware will proba-
bly, remain as she is Maryland will probably
give leave to one and possibly to two of her
supporters of the Sub-treasury to remain at
home. In Virginia is is said three at least Of
the present supporters ofthe Sub-treasury will
certainly be suppanted by opponents OF the
measure. Some count upon change OF live
or six members. In North Carolina the Sub
treasuryites will undoubtedly lose one or two
members at least. Alabama may remain as
she now is, and will undoubtedly continue one
vote opposed to the measure. Mississippi
is claimed by the Loco Focos as Sub
treasury State. We consider the chances
between the advocates and opponents Of that
measure about equal in the next Congress. In
Tennessee we should not be surprised to find
a change of three or four in favor of the Sub
treasury; all buttwo now go againsti,. Arkan-
sas it is said will go against the Sub-treasury.
Kentucky may continue as she now is, with
one vote in favor Of the measure. In Indiana,
we think the chances are that the member
who now supports the Sub-treasury will be
defeated and that no accession of strength in
favor Of the measure will be acquired in that
State. Michigan will probably continue its
support of the Sub-treasury. In Ohio, there
has been change Of four votes in favor Of the
Sub-treasury undoubtedly, which is, with two
exceptions, the only instance of gain on that
side.
In this prospective glance at the probable
state of the strength of parties in the next
Congress, for and against the Sub.treasury,
we have endeavored not to exaggerate or fall
sify in any respect the probable result. We
wish not to encourage hopes or expectations
that will not be realized. We believe there
