POLITICAL,

1t is announced that Cassius NJ. Clay will take
the stump for rag money in Ohio.
Gov. Allen, Of Ohio, says: "If l should die,
mark you the people will know it, for shall die
in their arms"
The currency question has, if not solved, been
satisfactorily stated from an infationist point Of
view by the orator at Ironton, o., who proposes to
make the greenback so id poor that the men
who've got it wont want to keep it, but will put it
in circulation"
Sam Cary, ex-Know- nothing, ex-Prohibitonist,
but now the Ohio Democratic imitation candidate
for Lieutenant Governor, devotes a large part Of
his harrngues to the "bloatcd coupon clippers"
whom he denounccs without stint. He has been
especially savage towards those who convert their
property into bonds to escape taxation, and re-
ceives great applause therefor. Lately it has
leaked out that the fellow has $4,000 in bonds
himself. Now, if he stuck his money into bonds
merely to cvsde taxation, he was guilty ola shah
by trck-a trick utterly unbecoming good citi
zen and if he bought the bonds IS an investment,
and is regular coupon clipper he ought not to be
bowling about the bondholders.

sees the German citizens turn out to hear Carl
Schurz he will double up and die.
A Democratic paper in Vicksburg printed a
paragraph. a day Or two ago headed, "The Negroes
needed little killing"
Psrson Brownlow, whs was 70 years old last
month, attn ibutes his preservation in the midst Of
great dangers in and out of prison to the fact that
he has never voted democratic ticket.
We anticipate no division of the republican
party on the financial question. We believe that
the policy declared and acted upon by President
Grant is the true one that it alone is consistent
with national safety; and believe that the more
that policy is examined and discussed, the more
readily it will be adopted by the whole people,

The Ohio State Journal gives list of prominent
Liberal Republicans, all of whom were members
of the Cincinnati Convention in 1872, who are
supporters Of Gov. Hayes. 1t might extend the
list almost to tina entire Liberal Republican party
of Ohio. All sincere members of that organize
ton were in favor of an honest currency, and in
the present position of political affairs will cas-,
every vote they against an nfatonist ticket OF
platform.
! The following strikinsly eloquent and effective
passage is from Mr.. Buell., who is stamping Ohio
in the service of democracy and imitation 'Why
