The Democratic party. Mr.. MuBgen's
course in voting against Mr.. lnger-
soils bill to increase the currency
has lost for him the confidence of the
people OF Ohio, who are all in favor
OF paying the debt, according to tie
contract. in currency, but, should the
bOndholders insist on violating that
contract by demanding gold, then
we believe they would feel bound TO
acQuiesce in Mungen's views. The
people hive as much right to refuse
to pay the bondholders currency for
their bonds as they have TO demand
Igold in violation of the contract.
From the Kenton Democrat, tpe'al
hon. WILLIAM MUNGEN.
This gentleman, who assumes to
represent this District in Congress,
has been rendering himselg quite
notorious since the commencement
of the present sessiol. A few days
ago he voied against resolution
that YVES offered to increase the Ma
tional Currency. This remarkable |
vote showed that he had sold himself |
to the National Banks and Bondhold- |
ers. Since then, he has turned q
complete sumersault, and has become |
q strenuous, batlimprudent, advocate
of reputation. His foolish and |
thoughtless flor such isl course is
condemned and ridiculed by all the
Democratic members of Congress-
! We trust that Mr.. Mungen in future
will attach more Importance TO the
high p0sitionhe fills, and pay more
respect to the sentiments and feel
ings of the constituency he has the
honor TO represeat

BrPUDIATIoN.
We occasionally see an article in
some radical Democratic sheet ia
favor of repudiatiBg the National
Debt, but it is rare TO hear speaker
of that party come out so bold as the
papers do. Last Thursday, in the
House OF Representatives in Wash
ipgto on, the Hon. William Mungen. OF
Ohio, made little speech to some
extent, and the Hon Mungen de
clared for reputation. He was not
in favor OF paying dollar of the
National Debt. This speech of Nun
gen was a bombshell in the Demo- &
cratic camp. Though they do not ,
like the bonds nor the bondhOlders,
yet they know they can not come out
in favor OF reputation before the t
people at the present day and live.
W hatever may be their private opin- I
ions they dare not make them public :
in favor of reputation. The result
was big excitement when Mungen
made his speech and let loose the
Democratic elephant. AtoncQ speech l

ing tlat Mungen spoke only for him
