The Press and Herald saws tina

The Press and HerOld says that
Carl Schurz goes to Ohio as the paid
advocate of the Republican party and
ticket" That is, he is " under the do
minion of the money power" as it
were.
Gov. Bill Allen says 1.-The id
Dutch are unreliable The Demo-
cratic organs and politicians generally
seem to have a poor opinion of the
Germans, since Carl Schurz has con-
scented to go to Ohio. They charge
him with being mercenary tool of
the foreign bond-holders.
A special dispatch to the BATH
more Sun of Thursday says The
Comptroller of the currency is of the
opinion that he will be able to AM
nounce another dividend on the First
National Bank of this city Of ten, and
perhaps fifteen per cent, in the latter
part of this fall There have already
been declared dividends amounting to
sixty per cent
The New York World, the leading
Democratic paper of the metropolitan
city, says that Governor Allen, the
Democratic candidate for Governor in
Chic, has abandoned the hard money
convictions of his Senatorial career to
take up the rag-money initiation heresy
of the foul-mouthed lunatics Of the
Cincinnati Enquirer" The Enquirer
is credited with being Democratic or
gan. Settle among yourselves, gentle
men.
IT is little remark able that the
money power" of Wall street is con-
spicuous in influencing such tax
ridden, bankrupt and beggarly Dem
ocrats as live in the States of Maine,
Massachusetts, New York, Maryland,
Delaware, Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Nebraska, while the opulent, flourish
ing, bloated aristocrats of Tennessee
and the Confederate 4 Roads are be-
yond the dominion" OF the bloated
hard money bondholders.
The editor of the Press and
Herald is very much exercised lest the
editorial expressions of the CHRONICLE
should CRATE harshly on the ears of the
senior editor, Gov. Brownlow. Now,
we will relieve the p. d. II. man of any
borrowed trouble he may have taken
upon himself, by informing him that
Gov. BrOwnlow is not so good-natured
as to tamely submit to any wicked
tampering with his feelings; neither
is he so placable or so imbecile as the
editor of the p. &; II. seems to suppose.
He has been credited with speaking
out for himself whenever occasion re-
quires that he should speak.
1t is surprising to see how the
infia-we beg pardon of the Press and
Herayd-we mean the " expansion"
organs of the country are taking of
their coats and going for" Senator
SchurZ since he consented to take part
they join in charging that he is actua'
ted by mercenary motives; that he is
the paid tool of the bondholders, anC
that he goes for stipulative compensa
ton. All this goes to show that they
fear the result of his powerful argu
ments. His influence is not confined
to his own countrymen, by any means
1t extends to men of all nationalities
The Press and Herald is clearly
on the back track, and the chang
from its rag money platform to hare
money" promises to be gradual, easy
and natural. II denies now that it i
an initiation organ" 1t simply ia
vors expansion" 1t gets along ad
mirably. 1t is true that the differenc
between its position now and tw
weeks ago is only about the same q
that betwixt tweedle-de and tweedl
dunn, but no one can tell what a da,
may bring forth. While there is lif
there is hope. We win do our cotem
porary the justice to say the "domin
ion of the money power is not
moving cause.
