NOMINATION FOR CONGRESS.

Well, the Morris "Independent Reformcr's''

deal oiiantastc cavorting, proceeded to nom.
mate Alexander Campbell, Of La Sale, the
great paper money philosopher and deusion.

In the present unsettled slate Of politics
the uncasiness and apprehension that pre-.
vail, arising from the pslpable fact that great
Encouragement and corruption exist in high
places with no clearly defined plan any,
where TO cure the lis We cannot fee from
VIC are prepared for almost any kind of IN.
scrutaOlc projects and unaccountable antics,
blu; this nomination OF Alex Campbell for
Congress is Il positive surprise.
Ii is not that Mr.. Campbell ia personally
an objectionable man. As citizen and GOOD
ncighbor he is above reproach-kindly, asn.
liable and intelligent. But he is one of those
unfortunate men of whom Il single idea has
taken possCssion-a strange and most unac.
cOun,ablc hallucination--like men who con.
ccive that they have mastered the problem of
perpetual motion or squaring the circle
and with whom this chimera las become q
monomania. The hallucination or Mr.
Campbell is, that he mas solved the GREAT
economic conundrum of the ages, the i.1ais
JdUds of the alchcmistS how 10 convent
rags into gold or, what is the same thing.
how to substitute rags for gold and make the
one completely aud without dctriment take
the place of the other. To the sane mind OF
course the project is rs Wild as would be
that 10 substitute moonshine for watcr-a
thin fox FOR pork and beans. or the cast
wind for grass and provendcr To mttcn
cattle upon.
The nomination OF Mr. Caaubcll by the
Morris convention becomes simply laughable
in the light of an endorsement by men LAYING
cSim to sanity OF these wild decisions. l.
it ncsGt rs huge joke, or have they all gone

ing his own note.
. Remove the legal tender act and no man
could pay his debts in gold and silver. II
you put it in every mans power to refuse
greenbacks, you will do away with all bust
ness and destroy all confidence in our com
mcrcial transactions. Panics will surely
come from sort of ovcr-coniidence. How
can we pay our National debt in gold when
! 81 parts of the whole business of the coun-
try is done on credit? In 1897, 1917, 1851
and in 1866 there were panics in the mon
ey world which were disastrous to al bust
ness transactions, and it was only when the
people applied to the government for relief
and she answered them, "You can nave as
much issue as you need that everything
was restored to order ant business assumed
a natural shape. There is bat one way to
cure the difference in the value of green
backs and gold repeal the enacting clause ;
make green Jacks receivable for all and every
kind of debts, and the result is at once
reached 800 Of the first issue Of treasury
notes are now worth $3.50 because they are
receivable for everything National Banks
as Mr.. Campbell says, were conceived in
sin and brought forth in iniquity," and arc
the most monstrous thing on earth.
After illustrating the working of thcs c
banks, etc, the speaker closed his address
amid great applause
The Committee on Resolutions reported
the following, which were unanimously
adopted:
Your committee would respectfully beg
leave to report that they recommend that
this convention accept the platform adopted
June 10th, 1874, at Springfield, by the state
Independent Reform Convention.
"Resolved, further, that the extravagant
salaries now paid the President OF the
United States, as also to Congressman and
Senator's, should be so retrcnchcd that
$25 900 year be paid to the President and
$1,000 q year to Senator's and Representa-
