Mr.. Pershing, the repudiators' candidate
for Governor Of Pennsylvania. was repre-
sented to be ha,d-money man at the time
Of his nomination. But he has opened his
mouth and spoken, aud made it evident
that the repudators made no mistake in
their man. He says: 81 am opposed to
imitation in its true sense, and imitation is
not demanded by the Erie platform. 1t
opposes any further contraction OF the cur
rency at this time of financial Distress
Thus Mr.. Pershing proves himself good
democrat and repudiator by echoing the ~
ing assumption that the currency has been
contracted. He further says: Il will
tonly add that adhere to the doctrine al
"ways held by the democratic party-that
"gold and silver constitute the true basis for
ga Jank-note circulation. The question
aas to this Is not the same with that as to
"paper currency that is of itself made by
1.-THE sovereign power legal tender, and
therefore money.' Thus it appears that
Mr.. Pershing agrees with the chairman OF
the committee that made his platform, that
a promise to pay money is itself money,
provided the government makes itself an
instrument Of robbery by making it a legal
tender. There can be no doubt as to MIR.

pudiator. He is either lunatic ora scoun.

ST.. Louis, Oct. IA correspondent

spout suddenly appeared in the hills.

o'clock p. m, on Sept. ii, AID ap-
preached with such velocity that in
less than ten minutes from tho time OF

worth Of personal property could be
saved, sixiy.three houses had been
hurled TO the ground, the streets were
soon covered TO the depth of four or
five feet with water, aud the current
was of such strength that boGlders of
large size and corresponding weight,
were carried along with IL.
The torrents of rain lasted several
homs, but not single life was lost,
On Sunday and Monday the people
were engaged in repairing, both night
and day. and things looked encoulag-
ing, out at four O'Clock on Monday,

REPUBLICAN reader of this article
bear in mind that though you live

duties, yet Tuesday, Oct. 18th, you
should give i'm part, at least, if not

passed its three score and ten years of
age before we were called upon all
over the land to sacrifice the lives of
hundreds of thousands Of our sons to
defend its life against gigantic trea-
son. We had slept for years, and the
then slave power of the nation had
ruled the country, practically, for
many years. until it had fastened its
grip upon the country so strong, that
it thought ii had the ability to defy
and destroy il. 1t struck the blow. and
the land was drenched in blood. We
had neglected to stay that growing
power of evil. that SUN of all viii

visited with the deluge of woe, which
followed. We ought to be warned by
such an awful experience such fear

these woes, now say that they are the
reformers, and we the rascals, but
the world is full of cases where the
dishonest 'steal the livery of Heaven

iainly be a change in the experience
of all mankind, if ex-rebels and their
sympathizers of ten years ago, are
now the pure men of the country, the

and that those who made such enorm-
Gus sacrifices to save the nation ten
wears ago, have become the rascals.

The Hon. Charles Mason, of Bur-

his financial views through the col
umns of the Gazette, and the Hasykeye
says:
"Judge Mason would have the gov
eminent commence paying of the

That would, indeed, be pretty
thing for this great Republic to do.
A nation of almost infinite resources !;
nation that is proud Of its noble
principles and record in the observ-
ance of justice; nation that is the
light and hope of the world, to thus
repudiate, would be a burning shame,
and virtually brand her for all time
as cheat and a swindle. Immedi-
ately following the close of the rebel
lion, when armed resistance was over
thrown, the very next tack our en-
enemies took, was to attempt to
flood the country with the green
backs they had despised and charact-
cried during the war as worthless
and unconstitutionally issued. Thus
they sought to defraud those who had
given their substance to put down
treason, and at the same time utterly
destroy the credit of the nation. We
were then thoroughly convinced that
such course grew out of their ma
lightly, their hatred of the Republic,
and they thought this the only means
left them to strike at the Union. Chas.
