STATE CREDIT.

Why are they making such a fuss in
the Legislature about preserving State
credit after the chief repudiator, Andrew
johnson, has been elected TO the United
States Senate? Whenever the Legisla-
ture could and did elect such a man as
Andrew Johnson TO. the United States
Senate, who had gone all over the State
advocating a reputation of the State
and national debt, they should have no
hesitancy in openly repudiating the debt
OF the State. 1t seems strange to hear q
man who voted for Andrew Johnson talk
about State credit and State honor. Who
has done more than any other man in the
State to induce the people not to meet
the obligations Of the State2 The State
credit plank in the Democratic platform
was opposed by Johnson in all parts Of
the State, and we cannot see how news
papers that r%ejoiced over the election oil
Andrew Johnson can have anything Il
say in favor of preserving State ant
national credit or against reputation
Let them be consistent.
