suNSEES SUNBURST.

It, c G Gov has inst returned from tour
&c aoo,Itor,, roaming about the Odd World.
7. ,uoro o,,DorAuous to add that he has re-
sumed speech making. If he were orousn, ~
copfessiop. he would doubtless "allo" .h"'
tbe lack of audiences was his chief pri'a'on
while abroad and his strongest Impulse "
como home. There were heavy charges W
copfront in London and Paris, lighting anu
anarchy in Spain, and f1eas in Algiers; pu'
what. TO the "spOutng wretch" are 'hcSe
n q dearth of ears around the stand ana ah
absence of cheers at the close Oh each wen

prototype, in that "his home is in the bright
" sot,;na ann ~ and bither he turned his eager
stems 40 soon as he had learned, by frequent
trial ending in sore disappointment 'na' NE
most mellihuous cadences evoked no responsive
shouts from the forty generations whereoh 'no
Pyramids look down in most invinciDle silence
Sunset. like his carpet bagging compatriot'
lack Rogers. is nothing if not flatulent, ana,
having landed from the steamer, and Deen
duly serenaded, he, night before last harangued
a beyy of his admiring constituents after this
humorous fashion:
"Wars Of violence and institutions OF barbarism arc
goe and nonopoly TO destroy the despoers OF labor
10 champlon again the principles Of democratic eApan
on~not the expansion OF irredeemabe currency or n
r@onted taxes but expansion of territory ana INC as
taIishment anew OF local selfgOverhnent, 10. tno
mand the standard currency OF gold ana SSer au
renea of the arociOus Tariff, which shackcs commerce
and parayzos Industry .,
All which reminds us that the orator was IN
Congress throughout the long struggle winch
resulted in the overthrow of the institutions
L" of barbarism," and noisy with incorporate
denunciation, resisted every step taken TO make
them bite the dust. "The despoers OF Labor
by robbng it of its reCOmpense ana keeping IL
imbruted and degraded, had no more GLIB
tongued, INSCRIPTIONS pettifogger IN their IN
terest than this same Cox, and their class
"legislaton and monopoly" ever found in him
most facle tool. The local self-govern-
"mentp he delights in would give all power
in large districts to less than quarter OF the
people, who do little work, while those oy
whose labor everything is produced are alloweu
by this throttler of "claSs legislation ana mo
"nopoy" no voice in framing or executing
the laws under which they must live. Aud
this he calls Democracy
Sunset would have us believe his party hos
tile TO "the expansion of irredeemable cur
"rency;" yet here is that party in his native
Ohio supporting for Governor. Pendleton, who
insists on paying the National Debt in Green
backs, and applauding Ewing senior, who
wants Fourteen Hundred Millions OF new
Grccnbacks issued on purpose to pay OF That
Debt as cheaply as possible No Expansion OF
irredeemable currency" indeed; then what
means the Greenbacl< plank IN your last
National PLATFORM The standard currency
"of cold and silver"-that is just what your
party in Congress have resisted every effort To
reestablishl Their votes are on record against
Contraction, against Resumption, against every
effort TO harden the Currency and return to
the coin standard. What's the use III oratory'
when the whole world knows that your party
does all that you condemn and uphoids all
that YOU say should be torn DOWN.
