KEEPING FAITH.-Tbe trptl of the saying that
"White man is mighty uncertain" has been fully
demonstrated by the Farmers Convention. From
what we can gather, fully one-third of the dele
gates to that Convention are going back on it,
and laboring for q new deal. Snch bad faith is
seldom indulsed in by rascally politicians, A
resolution was passed by the Convention, with.
out dissenting voice, requiring candidates to
openly pledge themselves to abide by the decis-
ion of the Convention. That resolutionp Lodged
the delegates to keep faits with tue candidates,
as fully as il pledged the candidates to abide by
the action of the delegates. A contract, to be
worth anything, must be equally binding on
both parties. A violation of the contract by one
party, releases the other from the obligation If,
then, large proportion of the delegates bolt
their own action, the candidates who pledged
themselves to them ara no longer in honor bound
to stand by their pledges. This simply opens
the ring Goe free rsee all Sroued. Maquilkep,
Campbell, Mcintosh, Wilson, Steele, and all the
rest Of the unsuccessful candidates, have right
to ask the people for . new deal. The rule should
Esrk both ways.

" The last growl Of the Democratic papers
is because Government has done what il could to
assist the banks during the panic. They ask,
why may not Government as well csne to the
assistance of the proprietor of . faro bank, IL be
should be brokenf That is the sum total of the
regard the Democracy have for the welfare of th,
public. The institutions upon which depend the
entire business of the eeaatry, the bread and
meat of the laboring men, and the hard earnings
of thousands of poor people, classed with conf
mon gambling dens, and the Administration is
lashed for iatesPAsins to prevent distress and
ruin throughout the land.

DEAD HkADs.-We shall, in the course Of .

have been taking the paper for two or three
years and upwards, and pay no attention to our
bills repeatedly enciOsed-men who are perfectly
able to pay, but do not concern themselves
enough about it to do SO. They are the worst set
of dead heals. We have let mems subscriptions
run for ten years, when We knew they wanted
the paper, but were net able to pay; but We can
not afford to do 4 general business of that kind
with men who are able to pay.

LETTER FROM PRESIDENT GRANT.
The Gsrer.nest - Prepay Insere.t Aeersias 9
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WARRINGTON. Sent. d.

To Messrs. Fl. B. Clafa and C. L. AntlOxy:
Gentlemen: In response to the views you CON-
municatsd TO me, touching the present stringen-
cy in the money market of the country, and the
necessary steps to restore confidence in legiti-
mate trade and commerce, l have the honor to
communicate the following: The government is
desirous of doing all in its power to relieve the
present unsettled condition of affairs, which is
holdiaz back the immense resources of the coun-
try, now awaiting transportation to the seaboard
and a market.
Confidence on the part Of the people is the FIRST
thing needed to relieve the condition. aud to ar
rest the threatened destruction Of business, with
its accompanying disasters, tn all classes of poo
pie. To re-sstsblish this feeling The Govern.
meat 10 willing to take aii legal measures st its
command, but it is evident that no Government
efforts will avail without the sctive co-opera-
tion Of the banks and nFoneyed corporations of
the country. With fnurteen milliens already
paid cat. in the purchase II the Government in
debtedness, and the withdrawal Of their large
deposits from the treasury, the banks are now
strong enough to adopt liberal policy on their
part, and by generouss system of discounts, to
sustain the business interests of the country.
Should snch a course he pursued. the forty
four millions of reserve will be considered as
money in the Treasury To meet the demands of
the public Necessity, as the circumstances of the
cesnfry may reqnire. Close attention will be
given to the course pursued by those who have
the means at their command cf rendering all the
aid necessary to restore trade to its proper chan
nels and condition. With view of strengthning
the hands of those who carry ont the measures
above indicated, orders have already been issued
for the prepayment Of interest accrueing in No
vember.
(Signed) US. GRANT.

SOUNDS It's BAzOO.-The Republican says what
is not true, and it knows it, when it asserts that
the Chief had anything to do with the defeat Of
the Republican candidates for the Legislature in
this District, for the past two years. The Chiet
was not here two ysdrs ago, and the fret intima-
tion We had that Mr.. Odor even had opposition,
was the news that be was defeated. Last year,
the Chief supported Mr.. Low as heartily as the
Repablicaa did. We were not voter here; but
every person connected with this office who was
a voter in the District, voted for Mr.. Low-three
votes, all told-and he did not get as many out
of the Republican Office. What some of our friends
may have done, we could not help. We cannot
compel them to vote as We choose.
We are willing TO compare our Republican
record with that of any man connected with the
Troy Republican. But we do not propose to be
made football by sny Central Committee. The
leading men on the Committee claiming to be
the regular Republican organization of the party,
dallied with the farmers movement, trying to
control it. Had they succeeded, the party might
have gone to the dogs for all they cared; but
having failed, they arc now extremely anxious
for the success of the party. Some OF the most
active men in the Farmers Convention, who
should have been in honor bound to support its
action, are the head men I'm getting up OPPOSITION
to it. We think they will find large number
of Republicans in the County who will refuse to
be trihed with in any such manner.

U. s. GRANT.

The ADMINISTRATION To THE FROST.-The
President has given IN additional proof of his
earnest desire to do everything within the scope
of his legal authority for the relief of the coun-
Try, by ordering the prepayment OF interest on
the Public debt accruing In November. This
arrangement will circumvent the Wsll street
bull ring, by placing moderate supply of coin
within reach Of importers, for the payment Of
duties, and should have tendency to check the
upward movement in gnsd.
In addition to this, the president, in letter
elsewhere printed, gives assurance that If the
banks will act for the good of the country, and
do their best to keep faith with the people, the
administration will go still further than it has
already done, and hold the forty four millions OF
reserve greenbacks As ''money in the treasury. y
TO De used TAR the public good as the public ne
cessity may require.
There are substantial tokens of government
sympathy and material aid. They are Just what
might have been expected from an aiministra-
tIon which has never failed to respond to any
demand involving the interests of the country,
and which may be relied upon to do its whole
duty in the present, or any other emergency
which it is called upon to eoufrout- Chicago Post

Co,,s,itutionaI Arnendment.

At the approaching general election, the Peo-
ple will be called upon to decide fOr or against
an amendment 10 the Constitution, increasing
the number of Senators and Representatives in
the legislature Several of the papers have been
discussing it, most of them taking sround against
II. But they can urge no reasonable objection
IN IL The cust of the additional number VIII be
comparatively small. The great bugsaboo OF
corrupt on in Kansas Legislatures would less fire.
ouentIy frichien the people; for in those Legis-
latures composed Of the greatest numUef OF mem
bers, there have been the fewest charges of cor
ruption. But as a matter of fairness, the amend
ment is absolutely necessary. The Constitution
provides that each organized County shall have
at least one Representative, and that the whole
number shall not exceed one hundred. As there
will soon he almost one hundred organized Coun-
ties. the populous Counties must lose in order to
supply the new ones. We have always thought
that provision of the Constitution wrong; but
experience has demonstrated THAT it cannot be
altered and the next best thing is to increase the
number Of members. Representation should be
based upon population; but unless the amend
ment is adopted, ere long County With 600 pop
ulation and 200 voters will have the same power
in the Legislature as County of $500 popula-
tion and 1900 voters. A County that pays $500
taxes into the State Treasury, will have as much
power in appropriating the money as County
paying in 100000. Justice to the tbiekly settled
and wealthy Counties demands the adoption of
the amendment, not the interests of the sand
hills, buffalo herds, and coyotes, as many are in
the habit of expressing themselves, when refer
ring to the western part of the State.

e Some Of the men who INST sitb the Re-
publican Central Committee, claim that they did
not nominate a ticket upon any authority, but
simply recommended men to the voters, to unite
them upon one ticket. Then, the candidates are
merely independent candidates, after all; and
the Committee picked out especial friends of
their own, giving them a semi-official endorse
ment, in order to give them advantages over
other independent candidates with Republican
new shape.

z Some people seem to have conceived the
idea that, because a mighty uprising is in pro-
gress against railroad and other abuses, the Rail
road Companies are fit subjects for every fellow
to pluck, and that it is only necessary to bring
any claim against them, however cAtortionate,
to carry it successfully through the courts. They
have begun to discover their mistake. The peo-
pie have not yet established Communism, and
substituted mob rule for Justice. The man who
would try to enforce an unjust or exorbtant
claim, because he thought the state of public
feeling was such that it would be granted with
out regard to law or justice, would steal if he
had an opportunity.

SBERIFF MAQUnKES.-We call attention to
Sheriff Maquilkens card, announcing himself as
an independent candidate. He takes the grsand
that many Others have-that the Farmers Con-
ventiou, in setting aside the usages of Couven-
tions in his only, and strictly enforcing the
rule the moment be was at disadvantage, ab-
solved him from all pledges; to say nothing Of
many members of the Convention subsequently,
repudisting their own action. We have here
tofore had occasion to speak Of Maquilken's off,
cial course. The County never had better off,
cer, and never was an officer relentlessly pur-
sued and persecuted in the discharge of his
duties, for no other canse than personal spite.
