GOING BACK ON "oLD HICKORY"
Contrary to the hard money, traditions
aud financial theories Of the party for
long years, the Ohio Democracy have in,
serted a plank in their awkwardly con,
Structei platform, declaring for a paper
currency. Whilst they would demolish
the National Banking System, they would
have a no more reiilble circulating me-
dunn than the legal tenders of the Gov,
eminent. This bait was thrown out to
catch the inf~ationists largely, i'll the ma
jority In the Buckeye State" For this
treacbefy and retreat from the landmarks
Of the Jeffersonian and Jacksonian eras,
they are being '0uhdly "lambasted" by q
few OF their own orators and presses, both

LAST FALL ELECTIONS.
In the elections last tall, in which De-
mocracy gained a temporary triumph by
the abseuteeism Of thousands of Repub>
licans and the repeated treachery of a
large portion of the liberal patriots, a
hue and cry was raised against the Re,
publican party that was SO persistently and
vociferously echoed and re>echoed that
many Of our party we're misled and de.
ceived by its falsity. The Republicans
were charged with the reactions in bus,
iness that inevitably follow the termina.
ton Of a great war, whose activities and
necessities gave employment TO all and
enhanced the price of all productions Ia
the highest value. AT their doors, were
laid the blame for financial depressions
prostration of business, bankruptcies and
the vast amount Of needy aud unemployed
labor, when they should have been charged
to a too rapid development, and the
universal desire to add, in an increasing
ratio, TO the enormous accumulations Of
the war. The country advanced entirely
too fast for a healthy growth, Too many
railroads were built through unsettled
regions: manufacturers oyer.reached the
demand for their productions, and the ex
extravaganza was continued which onl;

money panics, and a general paralysis Of
business. This prostitution and 6nancia'

that gave them a majority in the Lowe
House OF the incoming Congress.
REPUBLICANS HAVE DISCOVERED TIL
SNARE.
Republicans have discovered the mis-
take and folly Of their dereliction, and in
Ohio, especially, manifest no inclination t,
repeat it. The absentees and "don'
cares in the last election are now tn,
most active in the general effort to wip,
out the disgrace of that defeat. The In,
dependent press is "toning down." chang
ing front and ranging itself under the Ole
party banner.

In Ohio, the Republicans have a clea
majority Of 10000, and Huuker Bill
