tional economy then to appropriate
an equal portion of the public funds
to the farmers and all other persons,
so as to enable them to buy large
quantities of iron?

! Republican Convention
Noe.
The convention of disaffectcd Re-
publicans ofthis county that assem-
bled at Preston, on Saturday last,
in point of numbers was very respec-
table, and in point of brains rather
superior to republican conventions
generally. Should they labor for
their nominees with similar zeal
heretofore displayed by the same
men, there is mo telling who will be
Governor until after election. -
Chatfeld Democrat.
Let the good work 90 on. Our
exchanges from all over the country
are filled with like notices, indica-
ting that tho more intelligent por-
ton of the republicans have become
! Disguised with the corruptness ofthe
party, and are fast deserving it, thus
in surfing its speedy overthrow, as
knavery without cunning is soon
unmasked.
Major Henry O'Connor, the Re-
publican candidate for Attorney
General, is strong advocate of a
still more rigid Prohibitory Liquor
Law. In late speech at Fairfield,
according TO the Ledger, the Repub-
lican organ there, he denounced
1.-The whiskcy plank in the Demo-
cratic platform, and declared that
too stringent prohibitory law could
not be made for him. Elk.
That probably is SO, for when not
a candidate for Office he Is one of the
greatest drunkards in Iowa. We
have seen him so drunk in Dubuque
that a Lunatic Asylum would be
good for his case, as the State then
had prohibitory law he violated
making a beast Of himself.
The Democracy Of Marion Co.
Ohio, follow suit in their adherence
to the popular side of the issue,
that the same currency which pays
the debts due the private creditor
shall pay the debts due the public
one. After approving the platform
adopted by the State Convention,
on the Sth of January, they say:
RESOLVED, That justice, ccono :
my and public policy demand that
the United States bonds be redeem
cd at the earliest practicable mo-
ment, by the issue Of non-intcrcst
bearing legal-tender notes in their
stead, thereby saving to, the peo-
pie $500, 900, annually in in
tcrcst, and placing upon the tax du-
plicate SIS, 900, 600, 900, now ex-
cmpt from taxation. .... ...
The United States Government
wanted to issue $500, 900, 900, in
currency. How does the reader
suppose it was done under radical
financicring? Instead Of issuing
greenbacks that cost nothing, it
went to work and created 1000
National banks, and actually paid
them S25, 600, 600 a year to issue
poorer curren cy than it could have
issued itself.
The other day Foreman was ridi-
culing an Irishman who had bither-
to been Republican because he
would not 60 for manhood suffra ge"
and appealed to the Irisbman to say
whether negro was not as much of
man and brother as though he was
not of a different color. ''Och, and
by jabers!' said Pat-''it's not the
color l object to; it is the smell, sir
the SMELL! BY the howly st.
Patriek! who can stand that! A
skunk might as ''social' in family
