Der OF its Senators and Representatives in Congress

In calling the conventions for the election of dele
gltes the committees of the several States are
commended to invite all Republican electors and all
other voters, without regard to past political dit

opposed to revivng sectional issues, and desire to
promote friendly feeling and permanent harmony
throughout the country by maintaining and enforcing
all the constitutional rights of every CITIZEN nclud

without intimidation and without fraud; who in
favor OF the continued prosecution and punishment
of all official dishonesty, and economical admins

forms in government as experience may from time to
time suggest; who are opposed to impairing thecred
it OF the nation by deprecatng any of its obligations
and in favor of sustaining in every way the national
faith and financial honor; who hold that the common
school system is the nursery of American liberty and
should be maintained absolutely free from sectarian
control; who believe that for the promotion of these
ends, the direction of the Government should con-

The argus publishes in its editorial col
umns and without a hint that it is forgery,
the letter purporting to come from Gen.
Banks expressing his belief that President
Grant will be the candidate of the Republi-
can party for a third term. At the same
time it carefully suppresses the statement of
Gen. Banks, forwarded to it by the Asso-
ciated Press, declaring that the letter is a
forgery. The proceeding is characteristicaly
dishonest. It is the Democratic method of
waging warfare, a method borrowed from the
Chinese.

A MAN KILLED BY MoUsE.-An extraor-
binary occurrence was brought to light at an
inquest held on the body of a man in South
London. In q workroom where many young
girls were at work mouse suddenly made its
appearance on table, causing, of course, con-
siderable commotion and general stampede.
The intruder was seized, however, by young
man who happened to be present, but the mouse
slipped out of his hand, and running up his
sleeve came out between his waistcoat and
shirt at the neck. The unfortunate man had
his mouth open, and the mouse, on the lookout
for some convenient place of concealment,
entered the mans mouth, and he, in his fright
and surprise, swallowed it That mouse can
exist for considerable time without much air
has long been popular belief, and was uufor-
tunately proved to be fact in the present il
stance, for the mouse began to tear and bit1
inside the mans throat and chest, and the re-
suit was that the unfortunate fellow died after
a little time in horrible agony. Several wit
nesses corrobora.ed the above facts and medi-
cal testimony as to the cause of death having
been given, verdict of accidental death"
was returned

Mr.. MORRISON, the Democratic leader
who does not lead, is quoted in the World as
saying that the Democrats must choose be-
tween two courses. They may either select
a candidate for the Presidency who will be
acceptable to the great central states, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois, that is to say -ag-mon-
ey candidate, or at least one who can not be
claimed as in favor of hard money, giving up
New York and New England to the Repub-
licans, or they may take hard money candi-
date, who will carry New York and the
doubtful New England States, relinquishing
the west to their opponents. The South,
Mr.. Morrison thinks, is Democratic in either
event. The currency question is not vital
issue there, but the breach between the hard
money and rag-money factions in the east
and west is too wide to be bridged and too
deep to be filed up. An attempt to compro-
mise on this question must be failure. Mr..
Morrison apparently does not understand the
eastern Democrats. The majority of them
believe in hard money, but their attachment
to party is stronger than their desire for hon.
esty. To save split they will sink their
hard-money principles. They are for Democ-
racy and good currency, but for Democracy
anyhow, and if success cannot be achieved
without discarding hard money, hard money
will be discarded. The western Democrats
on the other hand are in dead earnest for
soft-money, and if they have to choose be-
tween that aud party success, party success
will go to the demnition bow-wows. Under
these circumstances it IS easy to foretell from
which section concession will come.

THAT Democratic caucus does not show up
any more favorably as its proceedings become
better known. Mr.. Landers, who "has the
courage OF his opinions" and very bad opin-
ions they are, directly advocated the payment
of the five-twenty bonds in greenbacks, of
which he desired an unlimited issue. Last
fall during the Ohio campaign, Democratic
papers vigorously denounced as falsehood
the allegation that any portion of the Dem
ocracy favored this form of reputation.
What do they have to say now? Mr.. Hol-
man thought that the lowest limit of the
greenback circulation should be five hundred
millions. Mr.. Bright supported the repudia-
ton scheme. All these gentlemen con-
demned the 'shilly-shallying" of their party
on the financial issue, and demanded that it
should come out boldly for imitation. Of the
ninety-seven Democrats present at the caucus
nearly all-were soft-money men.
