One ofthe many good points in Gen.
eral WOodford's speech in this city was
his declaration that he was not here to
decry the greenback, but simply to ask
that it be made as good as gold. He paid a
high tribute to the good service done BY
the greenback in the hour of the Nations
peril. He maintained that but for the
doubt cast upon the future of the green
back by the course of the inflationists 1t
would soon be accepted by the people as
of equal value with gold, when the "cur-
reney question" would at once cease to
be question.
The greenback was, as General Wood
ford aptly said, the price of the country's
liberty. The greenback is to be held in
respect by all patriotic Americans. But
the greenback so worthy of honor is that
based on the pledge of the Nation to re-
deem it at the earliest practicable mo-
ment. It is that issued under a pledge
never, under any circumstances, to ex-
ceed four hundred million dollars. 1t is
not the greenback which the Ohio Demo
cratic in1ationists would give us-un
iimi ted in quantity and uncertain in
value.
Gov. Allen is still upon the stump, not
withstanding the effect of his efforts up
on the feelings of his friends. He was
INDUCED in speech at Tif1n, the other
day, which dated back to about the time
the morning stars sang together, and
followed along down to the present time
1t was a masterpiece of comprehensive
ness and range and versatility of thought.
That "Bill Allen is rare bird, intellect
ually, physically and vocally, there is no
doubt. Every one should vote for him
who does not know any better It was
at the close of this meeting that Gov. Al
len solemnly promised "to die 10 the
arms of the people"

been restored, he told them to 90 home
and organize for lfdefense, and if it
proved that they were unable to protect
themselves against the murderous as.
saults of their enemies, then 1t would b.
time enough for the Government to come
to their assistance.
The failure of some 10000 Repablicans
