the interior finish of Central Park

The Rag-mOney Dema-
gogueIsm of the Ohio Democratic
Leaders.
The manner in which the Demo
Gratis are managing the Ohio can
vass is well worth the attention of
all honest and honorable citizens.
The financial question is, by gen
eral consent, thus far the. general
issue in the State. The Democrat
ic Convention pronounced for sheer
imitation and rag~money, and the
Democratic candidates, Mess1s.
Allen and Cary, Mr. Kelley, Penn
sylvania Republican, and Mr.. Geo.
III. Pendleton, have taken the chief
part in the debate upon the Demo-
cratic side. The arguments of the
three first named infationists have
been the most extravagant appeal
to the jealousy of classes and the
hostility of the poor toward the
rich. They have represented the
bond holder-a phrase which their
hearers, of course, interpret to
mean all who are opposed to infa
tion-as thieves and tyrants, OPP
pressors who grind the faces of the
poor, and heartless. naughty des-
pots who plumber 1.-The people"
These orators. indeed, assume to
lay down principles and to conduct
arguments, and they speculate and
theorize with tbs air and tone of
philosophers and masters of finance.
But these distractions are not the
forcible or effective part of their
speeches. In crowd of miners,
or in any miscellaneous throng at
a political meeting, the number of
these who can comprehend a strict
ly financial or economical argument
and theory is not many. But
every nearer knows what thievery
and oppression and o:ristocracy and
plumber and profligacy mean; and
when political orator, speaking
to crowd of laborers in dull
times, when work is scarce and
wages scant, denounces his oppo-
nents as scoundrels and knaves
who are bloated with ill.gotten
gain, and fattening upon the poor
man, he does what he can to de-
stroy the mutusl confidence which
is the main spring of prosperous
industry
That this is the manner in which
the Democratic campaign in Ohio
is conducted is known to every
man who reads the papers. Even
Mr. Kelley has condescended to
this work, conscious as he must be
that the question in which he is SO
deeply interested cannot be salts
factorily settled by demagoguery
of any kind. bat solely by the wise
of sagacious men. Yet
in his speech at Youngstown his
tone was that of an angry revolu-
iionary agitator, not of a statesman
or of a good citizen. Fools" he
said, "call me and those who agree
with me sans culottes, and intimate
that we are capable of the most
atrocious crimes that characterized
the French revolution. They had
better pause before reducing the
working people to the last measure
of despair. The work of plumber
ing the masses still goes on. It is
a profigate waste of the peoples
gold,' to pay it to the national
banks And the report in The
Cleveland Herald states that in
"the Judge, speaking
with great earnestness. warned all
the bankers and bullionis IS that
unless they desisted from robbing
and plundering the people, a mob
might be at their doors and knife
at their throats.'
Mr.. Allen, the Democratic con-
didate for Governor, said at Park
ersburg, in West Virginia, ON his
way to the Ohio meeting at Cali
polls: "a government in the hands
of stock jobbers and brokers, who
have no other object than to rule
that they may rob, is the worst
in the world. That is
the power we are fighting" He
did not believe that the people
would bow down ito receive the
yoke of remorseless bondage en-.
forced upon them by moneyed
aristocracy." And Cary, the Dem
ocratic candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, announces that Re.
publican administration, eff con-
tinued, must result in an irrepres-
sible conflict which will disgrace
the civilization of the age, and
