GOvEENOR ALIENS SPEECH.

The Ohio campaign is fairly opened
at last. We give elsewhere Gov
Aliens initial speech, in which he
states his views with a boldness and
emphasis that leave no doubt as to
where he stands on the currency ques-
ton. 1t has been insisted from the
first by the UNION AND AMERICAN
that the Ohio Democratic platform does
not sanction or indOrse any such wild
scheme of initiation as is charged by the
the National Bank organs Of the
country. The clear exposition made
by Gov. Allen Of the policy upon which
the Democratic party Of his State have
gone into the campaign fully bears us
out in this op;rion. He looks forward
70 a day of specie resumption, and de-
sires that It come as speedily IS posi-
Die, but he is not willing to see the
country bankrurted in order to carry
out theory at the demand Of the
moneyed class, which can alone be
benefited by the sudden and VIC ent
policy they are attempting to force
upon the people.
Governor Aliens arraignment Of the
Republican party for the mismanage.
ment of the South, and the business
depression which prevails from one end
of the land to the other, is simply IN
answerable. He has a power of politi-
cal invective that will tell with resist
less force from now until the triumph
ant close Of the canvas.

THE investigation of the Revenue
frauds in St. Louis is developing some
very interesting intelligence for the
plundered public. The Times charges
that if Joyce & Mcdonald are guilty
Of the offences alleged against them,
so too are Avery, of the U. S. Treasury
Department; Babcock, Secretary of the
President, and Luckey, his private
Secretary. There Is no intermediate
resting place. If the money alleged
to have been obtained by defrauding
the Revenue has been appropriated in
one or more instances to the support
of sympathetic newspapers or the car
rying of an election, it could only have
been with the knowledge as well as
with the consent Of the highest and
most responsible authorities.
