admiss that Ae votes must be secured

then says "HOw to carry 4e electoral

this as the solution of that problem, viz.

La the same figufative article the
World thus compliments the West:
SHOW let 1t be observed that the States in
which ignorance, dishonesty and madness
unite TO give The Rag Money rot . show OF inn
portance are for the most part those, W estern
States which are hopelessly Republican"
We do not think that the "ignoranee,
dishonesty, and madness" Of the West
ern States are safe factors in political
calculations for either party.
The official call issued for the as.
sembIing of the Democratic National
Convention s'deems the public danger
imminent" for the reason therein sci
forth, viz:
"The Administration has suffered the public
credit to become and remain inferior TO other
ana less favored nations: has permitted COIN
nierce to be taken away by foreign powers
has stifed trade by unjn unequal and pei~
nicious legislation; has imposed unusual taxa
ton and rendered it most burdensome; has
changed growing prosperity to wide spread
suffering and want; has squandereu the public
moneys recklessly and defiantly, and shame-
lessly used the power thai should have been
swift to punish crime, to protect it,"
The N. Y. Post (Dem.) says some
naughty things about the party after this
wise:
with financial heresies. In New York and New
England Strong faction adkeres TO common
sense and the demonstrations of experience;
but throughout the West the majority is com :
mitted to The widest schemes OF the widest
dreaflers, who contend that the universal
equivalent in all the exchanges OF trade may
be prescribed by party exigencieS or the whims
OF ignorant legislators. These rash intermed-
dlers consider only the partisan aspects of the
Question; they do not ask what is true, what is
wise, what are the accepted conclusions OF
seiehce, but what is likely to be the effect on
the Presidential campaign"
