Nothing can exceed in bareinccd false.
hood, the cries of imitation and repudia.
tion which the Republicans Of Ohio have
attempted to get up against the Dcmocra,
~ since the ticket, headed by Governor
Allen, was put in the field. And these
charges though themselves so false, are
only cquallcd in ialsity by their impu.
drncc There lies open to every one thi.
platform. 1t is expressed in such terms
that it cannot be misConstrucd. 1t simply
opposes ruinous contraction, and demands
that the volume of the currency shall
be kept equal to the wants OF
tradc-noth!ng more. Yet, in the
face of these plain uttcrancc>, the cry
of Imitation, ,mcauing an unlimited issue
Of paper money without any regard TO
It's ultimate rcdcmption,) is being indus
triuu-ly circulated, under the hope that,
IT the masses can be induced to listen
and become So carried away by it that
they will not take time to think about or
study the platform, tins cry may prove
"a good enough Morgan until after the
election
But, rs if to make assurance
doubly sure and prevent any possibility
Of mI,construction ON this point, Hon.
GEORGE IL. PENDLEroN, in his speech ut
Galllpoli,, on Wednesday, was plain and
outspokcn. There he exposed in uumis-
taxable English, these misrepresentation.
Regarding reputation, he said,
The Democrat, party is not now and
never ha, been in favor Of rrpudiAtlon in
any form We do believe that it Is our
highest duty to fulfill all our country's
obligations according to the spirit and
letter Of our contracts
And regarding thcpo.it,on of the party
OH the charge Of imitation, he stated that
I'VE are not now and never have been,
'
my and iluctuating according to the
whIm- of parties, or the interests ofbauk.
rr,. or the demands of reckless spccula
tors, hut sufficient for the easy, active,
economical and profitable interchange OF
commodities, and n fixed and stable IS the
nature oC the case Will allow; and 50 long
us We must have Government paper
currency, We prefer greenbacks, which
are sound. and cheap, and good, 10
National bank notes, which mt the outset
cost the people six per cent and are at
the last only rcdccmable in greenbacks.'
Here, then, are the uttcranceS of Il
prominent Democrat, and the leader i'll
Ohio Of the Authorization movement.
And here henot only stamps contradiction
upon the charges brought against hi.
party; but to loaveno further doubt rs TO
his own position, he says:
That he was hard money man that
return IL specie payments should be kept
steadily in view in legislation and action,
and that wise craftsmanship will seek the
means of reconciling such return with
tho true Interest of labor and business,
and Justice TO the debtor.'
This is the whole truth in nut she'll.
The Democracy have not-as even some
Of the ultra bullionists, in their own
ranks, cha-ge-proyen false to their re-
cord of good, sound, hard, Democratic
money; but they simply demand that
the Radical policy of forcing resumption
at the expense Of every business interest
shall be stopped, and that, by proper
legislation and wise craftsmanship, the
desired result shall be brought about as
speedily rs it can be done consistently
with the good of the country. In other
words, the circumstances which now
govern the case must be considered; the
rag money which the Radicals have
forced upon the country, must be made
~ useful AS possible. and then when, by
prudence, affairs have been So
managed that resumption can take
place .rltLo,H distressing tie people, let it
be- done. IL there any thing in this which
y hard money Democrat, who feels at the
same time anxiety for the welfare @: the
country, cannot heartily endorse?
But this Radical cry Of imitation is but
the carrying out apreconceivcd and well
connected plan. That act Of the 4&rd
Congress $50 famous for lis iufamy,) pro-
viding for specie payment in 1879, was
simply master piece of cunning. The
more the mind dwells upon this, the more
il Is struck with the fact. The Democrats
wcr, coming into power; here was fine
opportunity to throw 4 fire brand and
stumbling block in their way; it
was ioreseen that many sullible
ones would be caught in the
trap. and amid the excitement which
would cnsIc, the party in power hoped
to Sip in again. Therefore, be it re-
membered. it was hurried through with
out debate. 1t would never do to have
its impurities exposed in Congress. That
would spoil the plot and therefore all
discussion was cut OF; and an act which
would prove thoroughly impracticable,
became a law. It's impossibi'ity Of exc /.
rution was it, great point. If opposed .
