impeachment trial.
The Reading Times warns the Demo-
Gratis that IT they expect to carry Penn
sylvania by placing Ex-Governor Curtin
ON their ticket, there is not the shadow
OF hope that the expectation will ever
be realized.
If Senator Sharon knows whereof
he afirms, Hayes is going to develop a
surprising degree of strength on the
Pacific Slope. The Republican party is
not ashamed OF Hayes and his record;
and the man with hay-seed in his hair
has natural affinity for Hayes.
"A member of the Virginia House Of
Representatives drew up resolution
4 tructing the Committee on Finance

tuition, comforting the right OF suffrage

| The rumored trouble between Grant
and Bristow reminds the Chicago Tribune
\ of the attempt made during President
Lincoln's first term to induce him to re-
move Secretary Chase because the latter
was developing strength as Presiden-
tial candidate. The Tribune says:
"Lincoln's reply was uniform and to this
purpose: no The country needs Secretary
1 chase in the position he now holds. He is do
ing good work. He has right to be candi-
date for President IL he chooses. The Office be-
longs to the people, and it Is for them to fill it,

for their best interest to ''swap horses" shall
defer to their Judgment. shall even think
that they are right, and / shall take my hat
and go back to Springfield content with the

The Connecticut 'tgreenbackers"
have held q State Convention at which
they resolve against the Resumption law
of 1875 on account of its inadequate pro-
visions for effecting the end proposed,

creating distrust of the future: also that
1 greenbacks should be legal tender for
all dues to the Government and in pur-
chase of Government bonds at par: also
for the gradual recall of the National
Bank notes and the repeal of the National
4 Bank law:-that Government should
have nothing to do with banking; but
should issue all the money used tor cir
culation directly from a Bureau of the
Treasury Department.: and that the
Government should always be ready to
issue interest bearing notes in redemp.
tion of those not bearing interest. And

posed the naked repeal Of 'shermlain's sham
Resumption Day (wIth no substituted act to
really promote resumption), on the ground
that it would be plank in the Indiana Re-
J publican state platform to-dayl In its frank
ness this ayowal is worthy of our American
Joseph Hume. In its political faulty. 1t is
lworthy of q Hooser greenbacker 1T is In the
lpower of the Democrats of the House OF Rep
lresentatives to throw away smother President
ial election, as their present ONO and Indiana
advisers have thrown away every Presidential
ELECTION since and including 1864. Holman's
Ifatuity would be o perfectly infallible pre-
lscriptfoh. 1t could be warranted to kill. III
democrats can learn nothing from the past,
4 they may count with absolute assurance upon
losing every thing in the future. Holman is
their best possible adviser in that line Of states
manship" .-4s. 4
