The New Albany Ind. Commercial r.
lates the following sharp performance OF
Cincinnati business man: While New Alba
ny monsyed citizen was in Cincinnati some
days ago, he was solicited for a loan OF ten
thousand dollars by a prominent business
man of that city, considered one among the
most substantial operators in the Queen City.
The New Albany man not having the money
with him, neither desiring to check on home
for that amount, replied that be would &c
home, get the money, return with 1t to Gin,
cinnati, and loan it to his friend. This nc
did, letting the Cincinnatlan have eight thou
sand dollars The same day he loaned the
money the New Albian returned to his home
and three or four days after reaching home
he received notification that the gentleman
to whom he had loaned the money had mad
application for the benefit Of the Bankrup
law, and that he must file his eight thousand
dollar claim, in order to receive his share
pro rata out OF the proceeds OF the bankrupt'i
estate.

A Democratic Middle.

A letter from Uoratio Seymour
to G. w. Ingersoll, of New Haven,
Conn, has found lis way into
print, 10 which the writer says:
81 500 the Republicans are try
ing to dodge tho financial issues,
and to sink tho election into II
nero personal contest. Our papers
must not allow this. They must
push tho debt and taxation upon
public attention"
Whatever the Republicans may
be doing, the Democrats can hard.
ly afford to mako their financial
policy very prominent at loast un.
til they can reduce 1t to some de-
gree Of consistency,
Tho Massachusetts Democrats
have just declared themselves as
follows:
ReSOlced, That gold and silver
coin Is tho only constitutional 10.
gal tender, and while wo would
have but ono currency for all, the
Democracy Of Mas sachusetts, now
as in the past, are trao to their old
faith in hard money, and demand
that il be restored to the people at
tho earliest moment consistent
with the interests of tho business
and labor of tho country.
On the other hand tho Now
Yo.k State Democratic Convention
resolved:
That payment of tho public obi.
cations in strict accordance with
their tcrms--in gold only, when
gold is nominated in tho bonds,
and m tho lawful currency OF the
country, whom coin is not specified.
Strange to say, the candidate
whom these greenback Now York.
ors have nominated for Governor,
said in a speech in January last:
We do not proposo--I do not, at
least--to discuss tho question OF
tho National debt. | simply say
this TO placo myself right upon ro.
cord, l declare tho honor, tho
good filth of tho country is pledg.
cd, every dollar Of the property is
pledged, every right arm Of labor
in tho country is pledged to the
payment ofevery dollar OF tho Ma.
tional debt, honestly and fully,
not only according to tho letter, but
according to the spirit of the bond.
In view of those facts, tho New
York World does not agree With
Mr.. Seymour on the pre.eminOncc
of financial questions. 1t says:
The great dividing line between
tho two political parties is tho ro.
construction question. No citizen
who deteSts the Radical policy of
reconstruction will be deferred
from voting for the Democratic
candidates by his dislike for green
backs; nor, on the other hand, will
any citizen who accepts tho Radi-
cal policy be enticed into tho Dem.
ocratic party by his belief that the
five twenty bonds are payable in
lawful money.

The Election Of Monday.

AhO AIANNbAOAt VI AtAOhh0Je
The heaviest vote ever cast in
Maine was pollcd on Monday
last. The State had been thor
oughly canvassed by both par
ties, and the Democratic stump
crs virtually acknowledged that
the hopes ofsuccess for Seymour
and Blair rested on a material
reduction of the Republican ma
jority of last year.
Well, now for the result:
Governor CHAMBERLAIN is re-
elected by 10000 to $4,000 ma
jority;
ALL FIVE Republican Con-
gressmen are elected by enor-
mour majorities;
Only t1co Democrats are elect
ad TO the Senate, and but few to
the House;
The Republicans have carried
every county in the State.
Such is the extinguisher upon
the prospects Of the Democracy
in this Presidential contest.
The result is unexpectedly IA
vorable-it is grand, glorious,
beyond the power Of language
to express.
Here is a pattern for the Re-
publicans of Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Indiana to work by. The
same work will produce the
same results in those States.
Work, work, work, Republi-
cans, for final and decisive victo-
ry in November!
