DEMOCRATIC CORRUPTION AND ExTRAv-
AGANCE.


AGANCE.
Mr.. Robinson in accepting the nomina-
ton of the Democrats for Governor of New
York says:
'War and an inflated and deprecated paper
currency are two of the worst evils which can
sffiict any nation. Fifteen years ago both of
these evils fell upon this country at the same
time. The waste and destruction of war i'm
poverished the country, while the inflated cur
rency concealed the truth and gave a false ap-
pearance of prosperity and wealth. Prices,
but not values, rose enormously. The wages
of labor were nominally increased, while in
purchasing power they were actually reduced.
Deluded by false appearances, both the people
and the Government rushed into extravagant
expenditures, wild speculations, loose and
luxurious habits Of living, followed naturally
by the frauds and corruptions revealed
throughout the country, and especially at the
seat of the General Government"
The party of which Mr.. Robinson is the
nominee made the war necessary; that
party made the rebellion; it used every
means in its power to prolong the struggle
for the preservation of the Union, and to
increase the waste and expense. The issue
of the legal tender currency was measure
absolutely indispensable to the successful
issue of the conflict. The greenbacks were
as essential force IN the suppression of
the rebellion as were the levies of troops.
The Demccra party are and must be as
justly held responsible for the ''infated
currency" the decrease in purchasing
power" Of the laborers' wages, and for the
'extravagant expenditures, " ''wild specu-
lations," ''loose and luxurious habits of
living" ss any man or set of men were
ever responsible for the legitimate and
natural effect of their acts. Yet Mr.. Rob-
inson. an an'apostate Republican, has the cool
impudence to throw the blame of this state
of things upon the Republicans, and to
propose TO entrust the Government to the
hands which brought upon US all these
evils.
No party but the Republican has made
any earnest effort 10 remedy the evils of

EDITORIAL POSTSCRIPT,

1t has finally come out how 1t was that Tilden
came TO the conclusion in 1864 that the war for
the Union was failure. Through the obtuse-
ness of Simon Cameron and his successors at
the head of the War Department the army
was not provided with "my brothers. extract" !"
How could any army expect to succeed that
did not have this extract! 1t is true the rebels
did not have it, but that was doubtless owing
to the difficulty of communication, and
neither of the brothers should be blamed
for it.
"What is the meaning (hic) of Democracy!'
said a tipsy Maryland orator at a poie-raising
the other day. He meant to say, "What is the
meaning of Repuhliranism ?" but he got things
a little mixed. "What is the meaning (hic)
of Democracy, fellcr- citizens ?" 1t means (hic)
ruin and desolation. Yes, feller-citizens, it
means (bic) ru-" At this moment he was
pulled down off the speakers stand and
walled OF into the nearest beer saloon, and
the president OF the meeting announced that
owing to the sudden illness Of Mr.. - the
remainder of his speech would be printed.
The last that was seen of the orator, he was
rehearsing a speech on reform to an audience

British America, or to retire south
ward to the Big Horn Mountains
Though they were In front of, or ir
close prox nifty to Gen. Crooks com
mand, 1t was not believed that they
would show fight, or allow Gen. Crook
or Gen Terry to get chance at them
in body.
Regarding the work on the Yellow
stone posts, the information is corro
borated that it would be impossible to
get the material up the river by boats
the water in the Yellowstone being ex.
fremey low. The supply boats for
Gen. Terry's command were unable to
cross the shoals and bars, and had to be
lightened in order to make the trip
with partial loads. The steamers,
which were freighted with material
for the new posts, discharged their
cargoes at Fort Buford, where they
will remain till Spring. when work on
the proposed forts will be commenced:
Altogether it may be stated on the
authority of those who are the best
posted, and who bring the very latest
news from Gen Terry, that the situa-
ton is regarded as highly favorable
Fully 1000 men are in the field uoder
the very best officers. The men are
in excellent condition and spirits
The supplies of all kinds are equal to
every requirement.
The chances for an early coalition
between the forces of Gen. Terry and
Gen, Crook are extremely favorable.
The Indians, though active, are not
anxious for decisive engagement, aud
in all respects no danger of any rever
ses to the national troops is to be ap
prehen ed in any quarter.

The Indian War.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, August TO-
Genenl Fersythe. of General Sheri-
tans staff, passed through this city
yesterday, having left General Terry S
camp It the mouth of the Rosebud, a
week go last Tuesday. In conversa-
ton wtns army officers while here
General Forsythe corrected several err
roneous statements that were recently
teiegralhed from Bismarck, and for
warded rom this point 1t was stated
that General Terry had fallen back
eighty niles, which is the merest non
sense, and gives false impression to
the public There was no falling
back at al
| The evening before Gen. Forsythe
left Gen Terry, scout from General
Crooks command had reached Gener
al Terry. Gen. Crook was then some
where nelr the headwaters of the
Rosebud liver, or between that and
Tongue ri,er. Now, at this time Gen.
Terry was at the mouth of the Big
Horn rivel aqd in order to make COM
muuicatiou between himself and Geu.
Crook easer, he dropped down the
river to the mouth of the Rosebud, be-
tween witch point and Gen. Crook 8
command the distance was no greater
than from the mouth of the Big Horn,
while thu country to be traversed was
Infinitely more favorable for the march
OF the troops. Besides, the scout al
luded tofurnished the news that In
dian trails had been found leading to
the east, between Gen. Crook and the
Yellowstone, aud junction of Gener-
ais Terry and Crook, at point furth
er east tlan the Big Horn was likely
to prevent the escape of the Indians
to the east and north Of the present
scenes o. operations.
Another mistatement found is to
the effect that the troops under Gen
Terry are disheartened at the prospects
before them. Colonel Smith who ac-
companied Gen. Forsythe, utterly con-
tradicts this baseless story. On the
contrary, Gen. Terry and his men are
in the hest possible spirits, and are
but too anxious to meet the horde of
savages in fair and square fight.
There are no fears as to the result.
Another correction which simple
justice requires to be made is in regard
to the sealping and quartering OF an
indian by Dave Campbell, the pilot of
the steamer Far West, and party from
that steamer, that left the boat to at
tack some Indian marauders that were
found at point above Fort Buford,
where a supply Of forage was stored.
The telegraphic account of that affair
is mainly correct, but there was no
scalping and mutilation Of any Indians.
One of the men of CampbelPs party,
who was wounded by the Sioux, was
brought back to the boat, but he died
shortly afterwards from his injuries.
The Indians, as far as could be learned,
although the information was no means
definite, we're still supposed to be
massed somewhere between the Rose.
bud river and the Big Horn. The i'm
preston prevailed that one of two al
ternatives was left them, either to
scatter to She eastward and towards

Hendricks as a Statesman.

AS an example of the statesmanship
Of Thomas A. Hendricks Democratic
reform candidate for Vice Presi-
dent, take the following letter:
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind July "a, 1875
My Dear Sir:-A repeal of the re
sumption clause in almost any form
will elect the State ticket and carry
the indianapolis district. IF to obtaip
report from the Committee it be nec-
essary to give the assurance that it
shall pass without amendment, that as
surance should be given, unless the
condition or qualification of the repeal
be really Objectionable. The form of
repeal is not now very important, for
the people understand tie difficulty Of
obtaining an unconditional surrender.
1t is not Questionable to retain per
cent. of gold in the Treasury Cannot
you and others who are in favor of re-
peal unite in giving the committee the
assurance of passing a bill as reported,
it that be necessary to carry report?
The repeal is the important proposition:
the form is not so important.
Truly, T.. HENDRICKS.
Mark the argument that the Demo-
cratic '.reformer" presents for the re-
peal of the resumption clause of the
act Of 1875. He does not urge it be-
cause it is measure that will benefit
the country, or one which large
craftsmanship demands, but because
''in almost any form it will elect the
State ticket and carry the Indianapolis
district" A ward politicians argu-
ment from the pen of man who as
sumes to be "reformer." and aspires
to the second place in the gift of the
people !! The indianapolis district,
which this truly great statesman and
"reformer" is so anxions to have car
ried, is represented by Franklin Ian
ders, the widest sort of an advocate
of rag money, and he is candidate
tor reelection. He is the author or
at least the foster.father, of bill
which proposes that Congress shall in
augurats system of paper money
not notes proposing to pay money such
as We have now, but pieces of paper
bearing the stamp, "This is one dollar"
or, ''This is five dollars" etc. In other
words, he proposes that Congress shall
authorize and provide for the manu-
facture of money from paper. Yet
Democrats Of intelligence, who profess
to hold views on the currency question
in accordance with the established
principles of political economy and the
systems of enlightened nations, are
laboring for the election of this politi-
cal charlatan, Hendricks, who urges
his artisans in Congress to pass bill
because it will elect his state ticket,
and return to Congress a man whose
idea of currency would excite the ridi.
cule of savage, if he could compre-
hend it! And this we are told is s're-
form" an effort at purifying our
politics, and restoring the government
to honest hands and honest ways! A
great many farces have been enacted in
the name of the Democratic party, but
none equal to that which it now has on
the boards. MilavauEee Wisconsin fae
