this progress and fall. 1t began the fraud,
according to history, by supporting the
executive against the representatives of
the people. It vas of the strictest faith
of the Pharisees, praying Justify where it
was seen of men, doing its bogus aims in
the most conspicuous manner, thanking
God it was not not as other men, even as
these (Re)publicans. During this whole
period of pretended probity Democracy
was holding secret interviews with those
whose tenets it publicly denounced, and
realizing the fruits of meretricious poll.
teal alliance. In the infamy Of the postal
service and in the ignorance Of its yo-
taries Democracy succeeded in concealing
the Illicit interviews whereby the tariff
ties and the anti-tarifites, the bullionist
and the balloonist, the land grabber and
he who refused share Of the land money.
all voted the same ticket. Such was the
audacity Of this imposture That at the
last blue light federalist, opposed to
the war of 1912, and in favor Of protec-
ton, was elected Democratic President.
1t is probable that this game would
have continued until now, but for the dis.

racy that further concealmen. of its
devices becomes impossible. Commodore
Semmes and General Mcclellan were
seen in conference, though the one de-
nounced the Union and the other had shed
Southern blood in its defense, and among
other political anomalies Governor Will
liam Allen, Of Ohio, hard money Demo-
crat, was suddenly shown by the press
transparency standing on platform sup.
ported by an imitation of the national
bank rags, with that Democratic hand
which had so often uplifted glass of free
whisky resting amicably upon the Shout
ueE Ola temperance Snrlekef.
Apparently unaware of the modern ap-
planes for the transmission Of intelli- |
gence, Mr.. Allen winked knowingly to an
old Democratic compeer in Louisiana
and announced that he stood where he |
always had done, upon his hard money
record Of past centuries. He intended |
that the sails Of imitation should be
ballasted with some bags of rupees"
and expected to reach his Presidential |
port in safety, without having to throw
overheard single principle.
There was such shock given to the
decent Democratic press as occurred
when Horace Greeley took passage on the
Fusion raft, wrecked so disastrously in
1872. The New York World was berated
for its mock modesty in Directing to this
ticket. The leaders of the
party bad seen that concealment was inn
possible, so they came boldly out and
said that a Democrat could take
my side of any question, or both
sides, as MI. Carey had done on the
liminution of hard drink, and would
stand absolved Of any inconsistency. Then
ollowed put-up interview of Senator
Thurman, of Ohio, in which he avows this
doctrine openly and defantly. He asserts
hat the issue in Ohio is local, that Demo-
rats may take either side without being
he better or worse Democrats; that for
lin and his house he will worship the
,olden efigy of liberty upon the current
DIN of his country. If, however, others
refer to encourage the fine art of engrav-
ng, and like better the benevolent features

'aper dime, he has an equal right to do

oleration by alleging that the Republican

To this last we reply that the Republi-
ans regard the decree of currency meas
re Of policy involving no political prin-
iple. The Democrats have, however,
laimed that this was hard money gov

ION Of paper as departure from the
aeory Of the government. In the one
ase there is no dereliction in varying the
of currency which is lawful;
, the other there is q fragrant departure
ON the principle that such currency is
either lawful in nature nor degree. /.
These and other evidences show that
democracy has thrown off all sense of
