THE DEBT.

Vallandigham's speech on the fInan-
clal state of the country, recently de-
livered at Fort Wayne, has nut the
New York Tribune In a fearful rage.
and il showers epithets upon him
with even more than its customary
violence. 1t calls him "villaln,n a
foolish, reckless liar" and the article
bristles with such words as false
.Iood' "lic,' etc, which prove moth
ing on the man criticised, but show
conclusively that the critic IL sadly at n
loss to answer the arguments he re-
views. One great point made by
was that the debt be-
ing now nommally 81, 900, DOC, O0O-the
figures are enough to take ones breath
away-if ii is all to be paid i'm gold,
as the Radicals claim, twill, i'm fact,
be made one-third greater. and
amount to 50, 400, coo, 900. Conse-
quently by voting for Grant the peo-
pie would be condemning themselves
to pay one thousand two hundred
millions, or forty dollars for each
man, woman and child i'm the com
munity, more than they would have
TO pay If the debt were discharged in
the same currency which the laborer
receives for wages and the soldiers
wife for her pension. Take an aver
age family of five persons and IL
makes two hundred dollars difference
10 them whether the debt Is paid i'm
gold, rs the Radical claim it should
he, or in legal tender. Facts like this
cannot be altered 10y calling names.

chdpcdU, scarf and gauntlots pre-
scented To me, together with the fact
that IL was all done In testimony OF
their appreciation of my official con-

heart with the deepest gratitude; and
| assure the Sir Knights of the Com
mandcry that in the future, a. i'm the
past, my constant aim will be To make
the members of our noble order the
true Representatives of those magnan-
imous knights whose well earned
fame once filled the world with the
spirit of their deeds of pure bcucvo-
lencc, And | assure them that my
prayers shall continue 20 ascend t.

and that we may share together the
joys of that asylum, the attainment
of which Is the constant aim Of every

"a Fair Deal. or a Free r,cht.

The Honorable George E. Pugh is
one Of the most conservative States
men in the country. His private
character is without ,blemish, his
public record the most virulent Radi-
cal can not impeach. Gs.
In recent speech this distinguished
gentleman said Evansville Courier.
After they (the Radicals) have
committed every outrage possible,
they say, let us have peace. Zap
plause.
When you have restored the white
and black man to their proper condi-
tions in the Southern States, let the
white men voteto give the negro the
right of suffrage, if they desire to do
it, but don't cram it down their
Threats in this illegal and violent
manner. When there is o fair deal of
the cards all around the board, then
let every man bet as he thinks best,
applause and there c.ln not be any
peace until that time.
Now | am not war man; / am ut
an age when / could not be conscrip-
ted into the militia. Therefore, am
not anxious for any war; but / tell
you this, gentlemen, that there shall
be no peace until these outrages are
all set aside, and il shall Iankn no dit
ference whether it is in this election
or In any other election. IL they
want me to go further as to myself
will say these outrages are so great
their of1ense Is SO rank and stinks to
Heaven, if could not find means o.
beating then, pedcedbiy, Would bed,
them in any manner possible. [Great
applause.l But 10 such thing is
necessary.
