MANY NEWSPAPERS In the Atlantic cities,
throughout New England and the middle
States, appear to have taken 1t for granted
that the West is very generally in favor of
what known as the greenback theory pro-
pounded by Mr.. Pcndleton. We have always
doubted the trIthfulness OF this statement
with regard to the West and after the meet
ing Of the National Commercial Convention
which WAS held in Boston, and the action of
the western delegates In that convention, we
feel free to dismiss any fears that we had here
tofore entertained In respect to the soundness
OF the West upon the subject Of our national
debt.
The New York EveaiHg Post publishes nn
extract from letter Of gentleman In Iowa,
whom It cAllsa "valued correspondent" which
extract throws some light upon this subject.
The correspondent says 1.-THE 'greenback'
movement never did amount to anything this
way, and we have all the while been aston
isAed that our Eastern friends should talk
about the PendletOn theory as being West.
ern view OF the situation; nor will 1t be coun.
tcnanced until common honesty is at a dis
count and rascality at high premium" We
believe that the writer Of the above strikes
chord that will beat responsive in the heart
OF the mass Of our people, East, West, North,
and South.

Tue SUBJECT OF General Schoheld's nomi.

involved in about as much mystery as that
other notable question "Who struck Billy

good authority in such matters, intimated
pretty squarely that the General knew all
about 1t, and that 1t was done with his knowl.
edge and consent. On the other hand, we
learn, on what we consider good authority,
that General Schohed was in Washington
some forty'eight hOurs-not registering his
name at the hotcl-bcforc even the sharp
newspaper men knew that he WAS here. After

did not see the President while here. More.

| General Schoneli to decline the nomination,

transpire In a few days which may throw light
upon this subject.

WE ARE NOT the defenders Of Fenianism, be
cause we know nothing Of its purposes and
plans beyond what Is publicly announced, but
we think that the disposition to charge upon
the organization that 1t is purely dendish
thati burns and slaughters wantonly, as 10
done by some of the newspapers in this coun.
try, Is an unwarrantable conclusion from an
assumed premise.
MCGEE is murdered In Canada, deed to be
sure which 10 fendlsh enough, and a crime
that can ind nowhere In Christendom the
slightest pAlliation, and this is charged to the
account Of the Fenlsns. A Fenian may have
committed the Infamous crime, but surely 1t
does not follow that such deeds are inspired
by the Fenian organization itself.
An attempt has been made upon the life of
Prince Alfred In Australia, and forthwith II 10
assumed that Fenianism did It, This dd cap
fGadum way Of accounting for nefarious deeds
does not commend Itself to our Judgment.
