their redemption by organizing a bureau of
mining to carry on operations in the Rocky
Mountains. The foolish fellow is answered
thus: "Our correspondent seems slow TO
learn.the great fundamental principle that the
Government meaning no Government in
particular is an Ass, and should be trusted
with as little business as possible"
Gen. Garfield made bis first speech in the
Ohio campaign at Warren on Tuesday eve
ming last. 1T was largely an argument in
favor OF honest money, exposing at length
the initiation fallacies of the Democratic ora
tors. In closing he said; "Whether we
wish it to be so or not, the present contest in
Ohio is the first great preliminary skirmish
tered the centennial period, when the memo
ries of our origin as nation are thronging
thick upon Us. 1t should be an epoch Of
peace and good will-but it should be filed
with the spirit oil 1776-with a purpose to
realize the hopes and aspirations of the great
founders. TIE indications are abundant that
the great jubilee is bringing 10 US with re-
newed force the lessons they taught and the
principles they cherished. In spite of all the
faults and blunders of the Republican party,
it cannot be doubted that it becomes far
tionary and discordanl Democracy, which is
striving to regain its lost power"
Ofcourse imitation is incipient reputation,
and no one knows this better than the rag
money orators. But they are very cautious
about publicly admitting any truth so dam
aging In private they appear to be less
cautious, for Warren correspondent of The
'Cleueland Leader vouches for the truth of
this statement concerning Gen. Sam Cary
''At the National Hotel, in the presence of
several prominent citizens of Warren two of
whom, unknown to him, happened to be Re-
publicans, he made labored argument in ia
vor of the utter repudiation of the National
debt. The Government might pay the debt
in greenbacks or repudlate; it could do as it
chose. The Republican party had great
horror of reputation, and so had many good
Democrats, but it would have to come to
that. No nation ever paid a war debt. The
French Government had repudated twenty
one times. The South had repudiated its
war debt. Several of the Free States had
disposed in the same way of their State debt.
And so on, at considerable length, did Mr..
Cary talk, much to the edication of his little
group Of listeners, whose memories are good
and VIII 1se names are responsible" Cary's
record shows him to be entirely capable of
talking precisely such demagogcal nonsense
at this.

THE argus takes exception to the state
ment that the rag money platform of Ohio is
Objectionable to the better portion of the
Democratic party. 1t says that if the PRESS
will wait until after the October elections its
eyes will be opened to the truth. Very likely
the argus is right. If hard money Demo-
Gratis endorse the speech of Mr.. Hendricks we
shall believe that rag g-money is not objection
able to them, and that they are ready to step
upon an imitation platform.

THE World gives cool welcome to Mr..
Hendricks and his little speech. It. says that
the speech discloses the unfamilarity of the
Indiana statesman with fiscal problems, and
that Mr. Hendricks shot fly everywhere ex-
cept into the bulls eye. 1t continues:
Perhaps however, Gov Hendricks is not
aware that what he calls Contraction is an
unavoidable step to be taken in any method of
the return to Specie Payments and the SOUL q
and stable currency, which he sincerely desires
and would constantly struggle toward He is
certainly laboring under the common deluson
of illinformed persons dealing with a novel
matter, that contraction means disaster in the
process even If deiverance ia the end But it
would be mistake we hope to infer, that Gov.
Hendricks is opposed to the borrowing of

THE utter recklessness which characterl zes
the Democratic leaders at the present time is
clearly shown in the course pursued toward
Mr.. Blaine. In 1872 the Standard published
an article charging Mr.. Blaine with having
acted in bad faith with the estate of A. W.
johnson of Belfast, respecting some Little
Rock and Fort Smith railroad lands. At that
time Mr.. Hazeltine, one of the executors and
Democrat-wrote Pillsbury letter for pub
lication, denying the assertion Of the Stand
ard and declaring that Mr.. Blaines conduct
had been just and honorable in all business
transactions, and that he had done more than
could ordinarily have been expected in busi-
ness matters. This letter Pillsbury refused
to publish. Now, with the fullest knowledge
of the xplcit denial of Mr.. Hazeltine, Pills
bury in his open letter 10 Mr.. Blaine repeats
the malicious SANDER. Perhaps it is possible
for man to become more disreputable and
despicable than Pillsbury has made himself.
