. Keep the Old Name.o

The Democratic State Assembly
men at Springfield are trying to re-
construct the old Bourbon party and
make it presentable. They have
held numerous caucuses, forgetting
how year and half ago they de-
nounced the caucus as an "unclean
thing" On Wednesday night last
they reached the preamble and reso-
luton point, but there stuck. The
platform hailed "with pleasure the
signs of new departure" But it
turned out in the discussion that
mailing with pleasure" ETC., was
begging the question. The caucus
promptly divided on this very ques-
ton, and there arose bitter contest
on resolution number one, which is
as follows:
That we do and will support such
measures and men, who, in our judg-
ments, uninfiuenced by party predi-
lections, will most surely accomplish
the great cardinal objects of all CO.
operations-the greatest good Of the
governed.
The idea of Bourbon Democrat
voting for anybody but Democrat
at all, and Of voting according to
Judgment, uninfiuenced by party
predictions" appeared supremacy
ridiculous to the caucus. The con-
test over "a name" became so fierce
that Governor Hendricks was sent
for in hot haste. He came, and
scored one for the old name, the an
cient of days; the same name under
which Calhoun fought for States
rights and notification the same
name under which jeff Davis fought
for the Confederacy; the same name
under which Wilkes Booth assassina-
ted President Lincoln-Democracy.
Our report says the Governors
lengthy speech to the unterrified
Bourbons cropping blindly for name
was: I" Keep the old name; fight
against national railway legislation /;
advocate State railway legislation |;
bid the higher for the granger. !"
iThis cunning advice of the willy In
diana politician emboldened Mr..
Miles Kehoe, Of Chicago, to declare
that the little squad of heroes there
assembled chad no power to create
new party; that parties are crea-
ted by the people," Mr.. Kehoe,
further moved by the queer sensa-
ton of having announced startling,
newly-discovered principle, proceeded
to declare in substance what Mr..
Roosevelt, of New York, once said
in Congress, namely, that the Re-
publican party had monopolized all
the political issues Of the day, leav-
ing neither room for the Democratic
party nor for any new organization.
Mr.. Kehoe hit the nail so straight on
the head that the caucus abruptly
adjourned to meet at that exceeding
ly indefinite thing, or period of time.

The correctness of the point made,
namely: that private or inferior
credits expand in proportion as the
volume of currency is arbitrarily
contracted, is demonstrated by the
above.table of bank loans and dis
counts. As the volume of bank
loans is email compared to the ag-
gregate Of private indebtedness rep
resented by notes, bills, drafts,
and accounts, it is fair to assume
That every dollar of contraction
Of the currency, from 1865 to 1873,
caused the expansion, by q much
larger sum, of the volume Of private
credits. Thus, the "pyramid stand
ing on its apex" was raised only to
"topple over the whole financial
system with crash" last Septem-
Der. Bankers, brokers and money
lenders foresaw that the real cause Of
'he panic would be discovered
through investigation and analysis;
and hence, to head off. the people In
Their inevitable currency, loudly de-
mand for currency, loudly declared
'aat the financial disturbance was
0used by a redundant currency, aud
mat the road to recuperation and a
revival OF the industries lay through
resumption of specie payments.
When they were asked how the gov
unment could resume in the face of
aseneral monetary distress, and the
afge gold demands of Europe, to
meet interest and Indebtedness for
merchandise, they were cornered,
and retired under cover Of PROPOSE
Won to prepare to resupae at the end Of
: Jep years. But the country has
'oiiowed the lead OF this interested
aass until It finds Itself in the last
ditch.

The commencement of this good
work of persuading men to cease to
do evil and learn to do well" was in
augurated in our city on Tuesday last.
and has been kept up daily since. The
women have not quite got round Wis +.
iting all the places where Intoxicating
liquors are sold. The same results
are manifested here towards the wo-
men as in other places-doors of sew
eral found locked-others are opened
to them and polite treatment extend
ed. No very positive impressions have
been made as yet on those engaged
the business; but it is hoped that by
constant importantly and persever-
ance, some may be induced to quit
the business. We shall confne our
self to recording results, leaving de-
tails Of the visitations to those who
have more time to attend and note
them.
