al Democracy are prepared to support infa-
ton of the currency and reputation of the
debt. In year, almost without struggle,
the Pennsylvania Democrats have forsaken
their hard-mCney doctrines, and emphatical-
ly declared for soft-money. Will the hard
money Democracy of other States prove less
yielding? Nothing in their history supports
the assumption. The great States of Ohio,
Indiana, and Pennsylvania, backed by the
South, will go into the national convention a
unit foH imitation, and no power in the Demo-
cratic party can resist them. How long
can the Democrats of Maine resist the move
ment for soft money? How long before the
argus, already apologizing for the initiation
lists, will come out against resumption and in
favor of fmore paper money? 1t is not certain
that to-day the Maine Democracy would send
to national convention delegation unani-
nous for hard money, for the Democrats Of
the fourth and fifth districts are already in
fected with imitation. The only way to roll
back the tide of imitation, and reputation, ,and
national bankruptcy and dishonor, is to ad-
minister such castigation to the Democrats,
whenever they make stand, that they will
never dare to propose or defend national dis
honesty again.

Choice SpecjmenS.

The era Of good feeling which Democrats are
so anxious not to have end angered by future
Republican successes, and which some other
than DEMOCRATS would be glad to see, is well
illustrated by the remarks of the Macon, Ca,
the best men in the land, whose field Of labor
and duties is in the state of Georgia. That pa
per describes the Bishop who was then pre-.
siding over the Methodist Episcopal conferences
n that Estate, in the following delicate and gen.
tlemauly manner:
''Yes, there he sat with the cheek of Judas,
the very impersOnaton in appearance of q
rOwdy, bibuous rough who luckily escaped
with unbroken bones from Donnybrook Fair"
Another paper in the same state indulges in
the following chaste snd brotherly language iu
regard to the same Bishop, who in the dis
charge of his official duties took lodgings with
a colored brother at Griffin, who was the pre-
siding elder in the District he was then visit
ing:
This distinguished skunk, who is not only
in favor of 'civil rights, but gives a practical
illustration by his every day life reached Grif-
fin yesterday afternoon. He went and spent
his time with Mr.. Kent colored man who is
presiding elder of the district where he could
receive his colored brethren. Haven is an old
he devil aud Kent, who is very clever man.

be caught in such bad company

prompted the above have been more highly in

ty last year and should they be followed BY
success in the Presidential struggle next year,

IMPORTANT ARREST OF CoUNTERFEIrERs
A dispatch from Dustin, Ala. says: @The
mounted United States Secret Service force are
doing good work in South and North Alabama
and middle Tennessee. An organized band of
counterfeiters, with eadquarters at St Louis
and extending to South Alabama, has been de-
tected. James Edwards and Andy Edwards of
Louisburg, Tenn, brother of Henry j. Ed
wards, arrested at st. Louis short time ago
for counterfeiting; Henry NJ. Neill, James R.
Neil, wealthy farmers of Petersburg, Tenn;
w. W. Gordon, merchant and deputy sheriff
of Tynvilie, Tenn; j. r. Nell, Jr.; P. Gra-
ham, prominent citizen of Eutau, Ala; B.
B. Bowers of Falkland, Green county, Ala, an
extensive farmer; G. w. Simpson, City Mar
shal and candidate for Mayor of Tuscaloosa;
also u. Simpson, hotel man, John Henley
and Tom Garner, gin mill smashers, Tuskaloo-
sa, Ala. e. ID. Dunn, County Commissioner
and farmer OF some pretensons of Tuska-
loosa county, were arrested and brought to this
Commissioner Race. Five dollar notes on the
Traders, Paxton and Canton, Illinois, Nation
al Banks, $50 and $50 legal tender and 80 cent
currency are the bills counterfeted st. Louis
seems to be the supplying point. Edwards,
Gordon, Bowers. Dunn and the Neills are the
wholesale dealers. The end is not yet. Squads
under direction of an officer of the secret SER
vice division are to be beard from. 1t is q gi-
gantic-com bination of counterfeiters, and per-
sons of wealth and social prominence will be
involved"

The campaign has nearly closed. But
brief period remains for work. Let that pc
riod be improved. Our enemies are using it
with their utmost zeal. Let us meet them
as of old and defeat them as in the past.
Never in the history of parties has politi-
cal organization gone into a campaign with
out distinctive principle of some kind.
The Democratic party has no principles
about which to rally. All the principles they
now hold are borrowed from the Republicans.
They have fought the campaign on personal
abuse and detraction. They have trumped
up stories against every candidate they can.
They have published the most absurd of lies
and stuck TO them with tenacity worthy a
good cause.
1t is no time to welcome to public power
an old party whose record is so dsgraceful,
whose instincts are so brutal and whose aims
are so sordid. The old leaders control. They
can only use the muck-rake as political
weapon. Maine as state is in too good
hands to be consigned to Emery, Pillsbury &
Co. or Gen. Roberts, whom they control.
Men and Brethren: Let us forget old
jealousies and past feuds. Let us dismiss
apathy and rally with the old time zeal and
the old time effectiveness.
LET Us BRING OUT EVERY VOTE!

The Cincinnati Gazette addresses an open
letter to Mr.. William D. Kelley, in which 1t
tells him that intelligent men regard him as
''either grossly ignorant, or as an abandoned
demagogue, or lunatic."
All that is certain about this trouble at
Clinton, Miss, is that negroes were "slaugh-
tered like sheep" 1t seems to be the worst

The Columbus, o., correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune closes a long letter on the
political outlook in that state with the decla-
ration that "there is every reason to believe
that the Republicans will carry the state by
handsome majority, aud If they conduct
the campaign wisely and vigorously to- the
end and take care to bring out their full vote,
their majority will be decisive"
The Democratic party is not in favor of
hard money or reform either, and the Democ-
racy of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and we
may add Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri,
would as soon think of Gen. Burnside or
Henry Wilson for their candidate as of Sam
my Tilden. If the Democracy win in the
next national contest, their victory will mean
initiation, speculation, jobbery, plunder and
reputation. Commercial lind. J.

The Pennsylvania Democracy.

One year ago the Democrats of Pennsyl-
vania were hard-money men, and in their
platform called for early specie resumption.
endorsed rag-money, denounced resumption
as threatening national bankruptcy, de-
manded that contraction be abandoned, and
pronounced for initiation in that phrase of
ominous meaning an increase of the volume
of currency to meet the wants of trade.
national banks, for the issue of three hum
dred millions more of greenbacks, and for
the payment of customs and other dues in
paper.
That the platform openly declares for infa-
ton is apparent at glance. 1t denounces
the effort to return 10 specie payments, and
demands an indefinite extension of the pres
ent forced circulation. It calls fer compul-
sorry in place of fiduciary currency. 1t pre-
fers the legal tender, or coercive note, to the
commercial tender, or optional note. 1t de-
clares medium which it denounced as un-
constitutional in war times, legitimate and
necessary in time of peace. 1t pronounces
forced loan better than an honest loan. It
asserts that the perpetual disbonor of our na-
tional notes is preferable to the payment of
little interest. 1t processes to believe that
gold is the only stable measure of value, but
it calls for dishonest and pernicious substi-
tute, and objects to the taking of any steps
toward doing away with that substitute. 1t
proposes to substitute for the national cur
rency, secured by the nations notes. payable
in gold at given dates and bearing gold inter-
est, the nations due-bils secured only by
that public faith which the Democrats of
Pennsylvania propose to violate. In fact it
opposes resumption at any period, for its
argument against resumption will be as valid
fifty years hence as to-day.
The platform is certainly characteristic Of
the party. 1t commends honesty in the alb
stract, and advocates dishonesty when de-
scending to particulars. In the preamble il
calls for the honest payment of our just debt,
and in the resolutions it protests against that
payment. In one paragraph the principles
of Thomas Jefferson are endorsed, and in
another demand is made for soft.money.

Democracy call a declaration of principles.
