THE New \ Ork press affirm that English
and German capitalists have already taken
the alarm at the advance of the Demo-
cratic Tepudiationists, as shown in the re-
cent Western elections, and are sending
Government bonds home for sale. We are
not surprised at this. No other result
could logically be expected. As we said
the other day, if the Democratic party
should accede to power even in the lower
House of Congress next year it would be
in its power to stop appropriations for the
payment of interest on the public debt in
coin, which would amount TO temporary
repudiation. Capital is proverbially fever
ish, and particularly sensitive to all in
dications Of threatening or approaching
financial storms. Shall we encourage the
undermining of the public credit? Can we,
at this particular juncture, afford to do
sol Is it not the basis of our currency?
Would lot a tumble of Government seCuri-
ties affect disastrOusly our circulating me
dunn, raise the price of coin and depreciate
paper money! Under the act of June last
national banks can withdraw bonds by
substituting greenbacks until their deposits
of bonds are reduced to about $50, 600, 900.
Suppose that they are obliged to do this to
the extent of $500, 600, 600 in order to sustain
themselves, will not this involve a contrac-
ton of $685., 900, 900 in our circulating me
dunn and carry destruction throughout the
commercial and industrial interests of the
country? These questions are worthy the
most serious consideration of voters in
those States which are opposed to repudia-
ton.

York office is, or may be, made to color
everything to the desired tint
Now, then, the point is, which class of
reports are more worthy of credenceH
Would it inspire confidence in the Govern
ment with the people lift should rely upon
and prefer the statements of irresponsible
political enemies, such as have been de-
scribed, before those of its own chosen min
listers? When we remember that the
young men of the present generation in the
South have been reared to believe that it
was duty rather than a crime to oppose
and hate the Government of the United
States, can we place confidence in their
patriotism to the extent of telling the truth
to the prejudice of their friends and section
in cases where the supposed interests of
their immediate friends and those of the
Government conflict? Hardly.
But the Metropolitan press claims to have
dispatched special commissioners or agents
to ascertain facts from eyewitness. Ad-
nit this, and examine the routine of these
correspondents. On the whole route they
naturally fall into the company of newspa-
per men, telegraphers and express agents.
From such they obtain information. They
neither seek the officials nor the victims of
the alleged outrages. The statements of
the former they have already seen through
published official reports. The latter, alas
are too often beyond the reach even of the
most enterprising of special commissioners.
Besides, these agents are sometimes sent
for purpose. If they have no bias of their
own they receive their cue before starting
as to the line of proof which it is hoped
that they will be able to make. Accord
ingly their kilograms and letters come back
Colour de rose.
The Associated Press agency in Wash
ington, being thoroughly non-partisan so
as to have obtained generally the style of
"semi- official for its reports, leads many
to suppose that all the agents of that con-
Germ are of the same unprejudiced charac-
ter. But such is not the fact. They are
named and sustained by the persons and
influences and for the purposes that we
have named We, therefore, repeat that
the present contest is one between the
monopolists and the people. The Admin
istration is on. the side of. the people for
cheap transportation, cheap telegraphy,
the eight-hour system and sound cur
rency. 1t is for the complete and full pro-
lection of each and every citizen in the
right to labor and to vote wherever he may
reside, whether he be black or white and
whether he be Democrat or Republican.
The Associated Press and its railway and
telegraph and other confederate monopo-
lies are for themselves and the perpetuatiOn
of their power to the oppression of the
people and the destruction of Republican
Government.

Mr.. HAGNER, the Republican candidate
for Congress in the Fifth Maryland district,
recently made a speech at Upper Marlboro,
Prince Georges county, in which he said
he was neither in favor of mixed schools
"nor of laws to enforce social equality.
''Mixed schools" he added, would be
disastrous 10 both races, and the colored
race would suffer most seriously from
"any attempt to enforce them" He
further declares himself Gin favor of main
claiming to the fullest extent every civil
90 and political right of the colored man,
"and especially to have his children edu-
Gated, and he was also willing to vote for
whatever measures are requisite to secure
''these rights to the full" The Baltimore
Gazette, the leading Democratic organ of
the State, forces the deduction from the
foregoing extracts that Mr.. Hagner is, after
all, in favor Of mixed schools, and asks its
readers, in pitiful, pettifogging way, if
they are in favor of a system Of general
education without distinction of race and
''cOlor7" OF course, this appeal is intended
70 frighten timid Republicans from voting
for Mr.. Hagner. Although he has not
been "Of us for any great length of time,
it is already apparent that he has struck

IN COMMENTING upon the failure Of q news
paper manager, the st. Louis Globe tells
plain truth in the following words: "The bust
ness of journalism will continue to be an IN
Yiting field for experiments to those who have
a large amount Of money and a large amount
of egotism. A man who, having edited a news
paper until he was forty, should suddenly
announce himself lawyer, would be regarded
as fool by the legal profession; and yet we
often hear of lawyers of forty making sudden
pretensions to journalism. There is an idea
that the business of editing requires no appren-
ticeship, that editors come forth from law Of
fees and colleges fully armed for the profess
sion, like PaIlas from the brow Of Jove. 1t is
a mistake; there is not in America to-day a
single journalist of national reputation who
has not devoted more time and more hard work
to his profession than, with equal fitness and
application, would have made him a great
lawyer or good doctor. And yet ninety out
of every hundred you meet on the street will
hesitate about carrying hod or making pair
of shoes, whereas there will probably not be one

MP pARSONG

The following letter has been sent to US
by distinguished citizen of Ohio, gentle
man of the highest character and ability.
1t will be seen that he objects to recent
structures in our columns upon Represen-
tative Parsons, in justice to whom we print
the communication:
To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: read with great surprise and regret your
article upon the late election in Ohio in which you
comment most sharply, and in my opinion I'M
Justly, upon the defeat of Mr.. Parsons, of the
Cleveland district. 1t is true that Mr.. Parsons
was defeated by 1852 votes, but the entire RePub-
Ncan State ticket in his district was defeated by
nearly 800 votes That Mr.. Parsons ran 50 little
behind the general ticket was matter Of surprise
to all familiar with the facts, for after bitter
and :protracted fight last winter he recommended
the appointment lof postmaster at Cleveland,
not the candidate Of the ring, and the result was
q break in the party against him, which caused
great feeling and difficulty and the loss Of many
votes. Not only this, but the crusade excitement
in his district was so great that at the late spring
city election the Republican party was defeated
by majority Of over 1900. The intense excite
ment caused by that crusade still continued, and
the German element voted almost solid for Mr..
Payne, giving the crusade as the reason Of their
abandonment Of the Republican party. These
are the facts, and Mr.. Parsons is no more respon-
sible for the defeat in his district than in any other
part Of Ohio Indeed, so hazardous was the con-
dtion of his district considered that not q single
Republican came forward and offered to contest
the nomination for Congress against him, and he
was nominated by reclamation. So much for the
defeat being merely a personal resuke to Mr..
Parsons. Every one there knew that If he could
not be elected in his district Republican could
l speak what personally know to be true.
A word more have known Mr.. Parsons init
mately and personally fol- over quarter of a CEN
fury, and know that your estimate Of his char
acter is absolutely and utterly wrong. The worst
enemy Of Mr.. Parsons never charged him with
want ofpersonal integrity or faithlessness," the
truth being just the reverse. A truer or more
sincere man, or one more scrupuloVsly honest in
every relation Of lite, does not exist in either
House Of Congress. And I cannot read these at
tacks made upon him any longer without enter
ing my protest against them.
Feeling we'll satisfied that you have been de-
ceiVed in this respect, as one Of his personal Ind
political friends, who has tested his honesty, sin
cerIty and manhood on more than one occasion,
and having the most undiminished confidence in
the man in everything and on every account, I
beg to add this, my testimonial, to his personal
truth and irreproachable character. No man
who knows him will hesitate to join me, but add
IT cheerfully. OHIO REPUBLICAN.

THE LOUISVILLE Courier Journal is as
crazy on the Third-Te business as the
New York Herald or Tribune. In an ar
ticle last Saturday, after paying compli-
ment to THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,
which modesty prevents us from saying is
fully deserved, says: 1.-The more they
"abuse Grant the more partisans he will
'have, and in the end he cannot be half
$50 i'll off as he would be to-day if he
"tUcked his tail and pulled out a few
F'platitudes about the harmlessness of his
ambition. We shall beat him for Third
"TeTm when the time comes. But he is
''the man we shall have to beat, and he
twill be harder to beat than any other
Republican. Then, whyi in the thunder
do you make such q fuss about it. If he
is, as you say, to be renominated and you
can beat him, we should think you ought
to help the denomination along. We desire
TO make a proposition to the Courier
Journal: If our contemporary will not say
a word about the Third-T Term for six
months we will agree to do the same thing.
