THE VITAL PRINCIPLE OF THE
OHIO DEMOCRA TIC PLA TF0RA.

g. That the contraction of the curren-
1cy heretofore made by the Republican
marty, and the further contraction pro-
posed by it with view to the forced re-
sumption of specie payment, has already
brought disaster to the business of the
country, and threatens it with general
bankruptcy and ruin, We demand that
this policy be abandoned, and that the
volume of currency be made and kept
equal to the wants of trade, leaving the
restoration of legal-tenders to par with
gold to be brought about by promoting
the industries of the people, not by des-
-troying them.
8. That the policy already initiated by
the Republican party of abolishing legal
lenders and giving National Banks the
mower to furnish all the currency will in
teNease the power of an already dangerous
monopoly aud the enormous burdens
aaow depressing the people; without any
Oompensating advantage, and that we op-
oose to this policy the demand that all
The National Bank circulation be prompt
Nv and permanently retired, and legal
senders be issued in their place.
10. That the public interest demands
that the the Government should cease to
,discredit its own currency, and should
make its legal tenders receivable for all
yDublic dues except where respect for the
obligations of contracts requires payment
lin coin; and that we favor the payment
eof at least one-half the customs in legal
gtenders.
IL. The extinction of tie present Ma
t.ional Banks, and the establishment in
gheir stead of a system of free banks Of
discount and deposit only, under such
regulations as the States may respective
ly prescribe, and no paper currency ex-
,sept such as may be issued directly by
and upon the faith Of the General Gov
Brnment.

THE PAPER PARTY.

When Grant packed the Supreme Court
of the United States for the purpose Of
deciding that "paper money" was equa
to coin, and was "legal-tender," the
Radical party made itself solely respon-
sible for the disasters and distress which
has come upon the country. The paper
party is the Radical party. Jackson, Ben
ton, all the statesmen of the Democratic
party have been agreed that paper mo-
ney is direct injury to the labor, in
dustry, business and commerce of this
country.
The very moment Grants packed Su-
preme Court decided that rag dollar, as
they call it, was equal to gold dollar,
then began the course of speculation
which has almost ruined every industry
in the land, impoverished labor, and
made it pay out Of its wages the differ
ences between currency and money. If
the laboring men and the mechanics,
and the industrious class are willing to
bear this burden, and pay this difference,
fifteen cents on the hundred now, out of
wages, then they can best serve their in
terests by voting for the paper party, the
negro and all the rest of it.-C0mmOn-

OHIO CERTAIN FOR ALLEN.

Some gentleman, not in accordance
with the Democratic platform, writing
from Cleveland, Ohio, to the New York
Tribune of the 18th ult., gives the follow
ing as his ground for belief that Ohio will
re-elect Governor Allen:
. will give the judgment of one of the
'Jury of the Vicinage" upon the present
Jampaign. In the first place, the Demo-
cratic party has been growing in this
State ever since the war. A very large
proportion of the young men have united
with 1t on attaining their majority, and
many of those who left the party Just be-
fore and during the war have returned
so it. Even without the German and
Liberal accession, the party was in po
sition to contest the State with fair hopes
Of success. At present the Democrats
nave that powerful political factor, pres
tige of past victories. They have, also,
control of the government of the State,
and of almost every city and large town
IN it. The influence which this gives,
even when egltimately used, is certainly
very great. Leaving out of our calcula-
tion the American and German Liberal
elements, it is safe to say that the Demo-
Gratis have a majority Of the remaining
votes. Now if we knew how these Lib
,eral elements would vote the result might
easily be predicted. One thing is certain,
very few Germans will vote the Republi-
'can ticket. They know that that party
rs controlled by men whose highest aim
is to regulate the conduct of Others by
their own standard of morals. The Ger
man believes in personal liberty, and
well knows there is no hope for this from
The Republican party. Its cowardly at
Tempt to ignore the temperance question
at the late State Convention deceives no
eone. Almost every Republican County
Convention thus far has adopted strict
temperance resolutions. Unless my OBJ
,servation is wrong, the Germans, almost
TO man, will vote for Governor Allen.
They certainly will not vote for Governor
Hayes, who does not deny that he was
,sympathizer and alder of the crusade.
The American Liberals, at the outside
calculation, do not number more than
ten thousand voters in the State. 0fthese,
at least one-half now call themselves
Democrats, and muster under the ban
ners of that party. They come into the
party meetings in full fellowship with
lifelong Democrats. The Ex-Judge and
Ex-Congressman with whom your cor
respondent had an interview are fair ex-
amples of this class, All of them will
support the ticket of the Democrats. AS
20 the action of those who have never
affiliated with the Democrats, and never
Sntended permanently leave their old
party, | confess / am at loss for basis
of calculation. OF those l have talked
with here, some intend to vote for Allen;
The majority seem to be still undecided.
AihaVeimet one man who intends to vote
GOr Hayes. Most of those men left the
Republican party, not merely on account

JUDGE KELLEY, a Republican Congress-
man from Pennsylvania, spoke on the
currency question, at Youngstown on the
18th, and here is what he has to say on
that subject:
After so great war some disturbance
of credit and business must come. The
Government would no longer be great
purchaser Ofsupplies; but with the return
of two millions of men from the Union
and Confederate armies to civil employ
ments, would soon have terminated such
branches Of business as might have been
depressed. The true policy of the govern
ment, then, was to sustain existing val
ues and industries, to leave the volume
of currency unreduced, and to apply such
surplus as the taxes afforded to the ex-
tinguishment of our interest-bearing
debt. 1t should also have retained every
form of indebtedness the interest on
which was payable in paper, because on
so much of its debt it restored, an inter-
est, to the Taxpayers the same money 1t
had taken from them in taxes. But un-
der some mad delusion it adopted the
very reverse of this policy. It strove to
pay all paper obligations, such as com
pound interest notes, 7.30s, certificates OF
Indebtedness, and even three per cent
certificates, preferring to pay foreigners
six per cent, in gold to paying the Amer
ican holders of these certificates three
per cent. in paper, and to redeem green
backs with money received for an issue
of new bonds, as the Secretary of the
Treasury isnow doing. While calling in
$30,000,000 of bonds for the Sinking
Fund, he has issued $150O00OO of new
bonds, the proceeds of which are devoted
to the purchase of greenbacks, and .pur-.
chase silver with which to buy fractional
currency, and thus resume specie pay
ment BY this insane movement, au-
thorized by the acts of the last Congress,
he has within few weeks, added $780,
900 to the annual gold Indebtedness Of
the tax payers Of this country, and this,
and more like it, the Forty-third Congress
authorized him to do. But, as if to add
to the cruelty thus practiced upon the
American people, that Congress decreed
that specie payments shall be resumed
on the lst of January, 1879. Thus the
Government admonishes men of enter
prise and capital that it would be folly
in them to purchase any property now,
or to engage in the manufacture of any
commodity; and that, as the Govern
ment has no gold worth speaking of in
which to resume, as the revenues are not
equal to the expenditures, no other mode
of resumption can be practiced to retire
all paper currency and leave the people
without medium of exchange. There
suit is that the banks hold more green
backs, more national bank notes and
deposits than ever held before. Already
more mills, furnaces, forges, factories and
work shops are idle than ever before,
and more honest laboring people are liv-
ing in want and despair than ever before
within the limits Of the United States.
Fools point to those deposits and say that
money is abundant, and call myself and
those who;agree with me, SdnS-cuLOtteS,
and intimate that we are capable of the
most atrocious crimes that ever disgrac-
ed the French Revolution.

420I. HA YES AND THE CRUSADE.

The Fremont Messenger says: We no.
tjce that the Dayton Journal, Republi-
uan paper, denies that Governor Hayes,
of this city, contributed any means for
she purpose of aiding the crusaders in
-RS74. We do not know upon what au-
.Cyaority the editor denies that Gov. Hayes
contributed money for that purpose. We
know that it was general report in cir
soulation during the memorable fanatical
strife of the preceding year that Cover
nor Hayes was reported as contributor
of $500. This fact was never denied, and
Ia connection with the fact, that the
Governor had donated to the crusaders,
free of all expense, the use of public
nall in this city, which was and is now
owned ny him. for the purpose ofup-
holding and sustaining the crusaders in
this city. We know that by the Cover
alors aid the crusade in this city was
prolonged and that through his silent
efforts our city was the scene of conten-
zion and strife, engendered by the wave
of fanatical prejudice. We again repeat
chat Gov. Hayes may not have contrib
ated the exact sum of $500, but we are
satisfied that he contributed not only the
use of his hall and gas, but something of
a more material character. Will Cover
NOR Hayes state the amount that he con-
4ributed to the crusade fund in this city.
He dare not deny that he contributed
money, the amount is only known by
him and them the Governor will not
and dare not deny that his sympathies
and contributions were in favor of the
crusaders. We ask the Governor tn state,
not by way of newspaper denial, but un-
der his signature, that he never contrib
.lted money to the crusaders of this city
IN any sum whatever, and we dare Gov.
Hayes to deny that he gave the crusaders
of this city the free use of Birchard hall,
of which he was the owner, and furnish
ed the crusading league with free gas
during the continuance of the crusade in
4his city, and that through his efforts and
contributions the crusade was continued
a much longer time than could have 9TH
erwise occurred without his active inhu-
ence and aid. The people are anxious to
hear from the Governor, for our people
well know his puritaniCal opinions and
chat he dare not deny that he was the
chief patron of fanaticism in our midst.

Gov. ALLEN knows how TO treat his
political opponents with courtesy. At
the unveiling Of the Soldiers Monument
at Findlay, Ohio, the other day, the Gov
ernor paid this compliment to General
Hayes:
"My friend, General Hayes, who has
just addressed you, and myself, were
named in the programme with the un-
derstanding that we were to be invited
upon the stage TO say something briefly,
and not to occupy more time than would
be necessary. At my request my friend
General Hayes preceded me. Why?
Because it seemed to me more appropri-
ate. 1t seemed to me that, having taken
a part in that war in which the men fell
whose memory your monument was built
to perpetuate, he had rather a better
right than / had to lead on such an occa-
sion. There are some persons perhaps,
to whom would not thus have deferred,
but Ex-Governor Hayes is one of the
men take pleasure in numbering among
my personal friends" [Applause.]

SAD CALAMITY IN CINCINNATI
Demise of the Celebrated Fighting
Donkey,
From the Cincinnati Gazette.

The heroic little jackass which twice
repulsed raging lioness in single COM
bat at the Geological Garden on the oath
of last March, died yesterday of the
wounds received in the encounter. This
little jackass vindicated his race from the
injustice of the literary SMILES of all
ages In classical literature, the royal
family ofthe lion looks upon the ass with
contempt, and wit found a ridiculous
humor in the notion ofthe ass as fight
ing animal. But this lioness was excited
to fierce rage by the sight of the little
jackass. She bounded through the bars
of her cage, and with her ponderous
jaws seized the jackass by the flank.
With great self possession, he reached
for the back of the lioness with his teeth
and gave her such grip that she was
glad to let go and slink away. After
such a royal encounter, the jackass was
in no mood to be seized again by the
halter On evading the pursuit of the
anxious attendants, the jackass again
came in the vicinity of the lioness, when
she bounded for him again, and he met
her with his heels, and sent her rolling
down gully. But her first assault upon
him, when unsuspecting, wounded him
cruelty, and after this long lingering, he
expired yesterday, and has gone where
the good asses 60. He vindicated his
race from the ridiculous traditions of all
ages, and showed that honest industry
may be combined with heroic Cour-
age.

of Grant, but because that party indorsed
him and his policy, AS the Republican
State Convention repeats that indorse-
ment, no reason appears why any man
who left il in 1872 should now return to
the fold, unless indeed he longs for
the fesh.pot of Egypt. | was recently
told by gentleman from the country
districts of Southeastern Ohio that there
are more independent Republicans there
than ever before. The Western Reserve
is hardly fair criterion Of the State.
The result of the election last fall was
somewhat influenced by local causes, and
in any event the Republicans would
probably make slight gain here. But,
viewing the old field, everything indi-
Gates the reelection of Governor Allen
by fair majority.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1875-08-05
The REASON WHY.

There is hardly a single high or re-
sponsible officer Of the Government who
has not, at one time or another, been sub
iectad to malicious criticism in the col
umns of Democratic and independent
journals Troy Times.
That is so, and there is hardly a single
high or responsible officer of the Govern
ment under Grant who has not been
guilty of corruption and plumber.
The Republican leaders in Congress
took the Credit Mobilier bribes; Secor
Robson paid $4,000 on the Secor claim
right against the law of the land, and
Secretary Welles testified that it was
after $1,000 had been given as present
to LADY," Boutwell, and Richardson
were responsible for the Jayne and San
born robbery; Landaulet Williams stole
the public money to pay for his wife's
carriage, and pay his coachman and
walters; Delano has been the head center
in the stealing of the Indian Ring, and
the frauds of the land department; Bel
knap had hand in the sale of the
French arms, and though a poor man
when he took Office, he has now bios
somed out into rich one, and lives like
a millionaire, while he does not deny
that his carriage and servants are paid
for out of the funds of the War Depart
ment; Don Hamilton Fish, through some
mysterious influence, whirls suddenly
round ON the Cuban q lestion, and from
a friend of Cuba becomes one of Spain,
while his son-in-law is paid enormous
fees out of the Spanish treasury; and
Creswell was turned out of the Postoffice
Department because the country would
not stand his rascality any longer.
In short, the only members of the
Cabinet whose hands are clean, and
whose names are not dishonored, are
Jewell, Bristow and Pierrepont, and the
appointment of these three was forced
upon Grant. And it was the independ-
ent press that forced him.-N. Y, Sun.
