They say that Senator Eaton of Connecticut
feels bad because the democratic Legislature of
that State did not indorse his great speech. 1t
was shameful-lets see, what was that great
speech about
Congressman Holman of Indiana is another
democrat who is troubled with weak back. He
is in favor of hard money, but he thinks the time
for taking the initial measure toward resumption
has not yet arrived. He appears to have foot
well placed on each side of the fence.
Lamar of Mississippi, whom some men seem to
regard as coming light, recently made three
hours speech in which, we are told, che placed
the responsibility for the color line with the re-
publican party, whose policy had been the source
of all the troubles in the South" This is just
what Toombs always does, although his style Is
not quite so rhetorical as Lamar's.

PRINCIPLES COMPARED
REPUBLIC.s.vD OCTHz.SE.

The maintenance of the high standing OF
the credit of the State the promotion OF the
Development of its agricultural an! manuiac.
turing resources the extension of educational
facilities; the prohibition by law
Of the sale Of intoxicating tq.
uors end the enforcement OF
that law: the equitable adjustment OF the
burden of taxation, and the tightening OF that
burden to the fullest extent and, in all, the
exercise of that rigid economy that admits OF
no outlay for purposes of doubtful utility, and
demands a full equivalent for every expendi-
ture; these are the objects the Republican
party of Maine has had steadily in view, the
pervading principles of its common law, and
they all have the hearty support of my con-
viction and my sympathy. -From the Speech
Of Gen. Cbnnor at the Republican State Con-
IGNITION, accepting the nomination for Cor

THE AGRICUL TURAL-SCRIP F4LSE-

HOOD.
The only answer the Democratic papers
have made to the complete refutation of
the Agrcultural-Scrip falsehood fabricat-
ted by DIR. Jordan of Bangor, is to repeat
the lie in exaggerated terms. Our read
ers will recollect that the author of this
scandal charges in substance that Mr..
Blaine and other republicans swindled the
State out of large sum of money. DR..
Jordan designated them as "Blaine's
thieving junto.' But although ii has been
shown by evidence that would be conclu-
sive in any court Of justice that the State
WAS not swindled in the sale of the Agri-
cultural Land Scrip that only two men in
the State bought any of it and they both
democrats and that Mr.. Blaine opposed
the course which was taken in regard to
the Scrip; still the democratic papers con-
tnue to publish the SANDER, thus persist
ing in giving currency TO falsehood after
they know it to be such, slandering per-
sons of whose innocence they cannot have
doubt, and deceiving those who depend
upon their columns for informal on. Their
reasoning appears TO be that their demo-
cratic readers will not see republican pa
pers containing refutation of the lie, and
SO 1t win gain credit among the democra-
cy. They do not scruple to deceive their
own subscribers and members oftheir own
party, in order to create and fix the impress
sion that leading republicans are corrupt.
The consequence OF this reckless persis-
tence in publishing what they know to be
false would be something serious to the
papers which do it if they had any char
aeter for veracily Every fair-minded man
ofany party, be he republican or democrat.
must regard with indignation such shame
less repetition of talsehoods which have
been exposed. such imposition upon per-

Mr.. Pendlcton demands impossibilities.
He takes an Ohio resolution like Mrs.
Partington's broom, to mop up the ocean
withal. He wants to stay the contraction
of currency by appreciation of industries,
when Industries are contracting and
millions of redundant money already ly-
ing idle in the bank vaults of paupered
Cincinnati. How are we going to get a
currency equal to the wants trade, when
we have currency that is already redun-
dant and are to be forbidden to contract
it. What sort of hybrid prosperity is this
which Mr.. Pendleton proposes to engen-
der by crossing Mr.. Boutwell's donkey

dleton own mule theory of going back

IN anv ,irht r,ifFsrent from the actual truth.

I in any tight different from the actual truth
Thus far there is no denial OF its truth
even by those who made OF mahui'c'"teu
the false allegation. There cannot De
doub, that the statements here made con-
corning these lands are true, and that the
management concerning them has been
honest and fair and judicious1in SO far as
the republican party are in any way re-
sponsibic.
What, then, are the people TO think and
Judge about this manner of conducting an
aggressive political campaign When
will they know what 10 believe? There Is
no doubt that every man who has soul,
desires 10 know and believe the truth. 1t
he is not blinded by falsehood he will seek
the truth But how can he seek the truth
1t would be pleasant to tell how, il 1t could
be done. a short answer would he,
When you say anything speak the truth
A little romancing in politics, might be
tolerated on frivolous occasions, but
wholesale lying about serious matters is
an unmitiga,ed disgrace.
The men implicated in these false asser
lions would suffer in reputation if they
contained the shadow OF truth. The par
ty to which they belonged would also suf-
fer. They have suffered for this and 9TH
er things in the estimation of candid men
whose ties are never strong but who have
a sincere desire to promote the welfare
of the State But such reiutatiOn as
this, of bold INSCRIPTIONS and false
accusation, will compel every man not
only to believe in their political honor and
integrity, but also to dsbelieve every as
sertion made against them by their politi-
cal opponents. 1t is as true in politics as
ia morals,-false in one, false in all.
Therefore ii this false and scandalons as
sertion is fully and clearly exposed and
no other assertion OF the kind
from the same quarter can be entitled to
belief. Such a complete vindication OF
the accused will render all future lies
harmless"
The Allegan Journal of Michigan speaks
its opinion very decidedly of the remarks
of Mr.. Beck of Kentucky, in which he eX-
pressed his contempt of the word nation,
declaring that no good democrat uses it.
and that this is no nation, nothing but free
and Independent States. Says the Jour
nal: eff Mr.. Beck thinks the old State
Sovereignty doctrine. which led to the
Southern Rebellion, is not dead, doubtless
he speaks by the card and reflects the
opinion and designs of the Southern dem
ocrats, who will control the democratic
party of the nation again in case that par
ty obtains power. But if he thinks the
nation will ever submit to any pracrical
application OF that doctrine, which it fought
so bravcly and long to put down. he is
mistaken. The revival of that doctrine
points straight to another war for the
Union. This Republic is u Nation and it
will maintain its Nationality with the same
determination it displayed in the late war,
and with far greater power and sever
ity.'
