OF more money among the masses, and
the great ability with which this cause ID
advocated by the Cincinnati Enguirsr
the leading journal Of the Democracy Of
this State. Never was the Enquirer more
prosperous or ably edited than now.
Thousands buy and read it now who once
never saw il, or if they did they despised
it. Il is being extensively patronized BY
the Republicans. Any new after the ar.
rival of the morning trains that bring it
to this city, not copy of it 10 left for

more asked for.
Some charge that the Enquirer is not
sincere in its advocacy of Allen, that
Pendleton vas its first low, but since
that famous gentleman Is now
politically no more, Allen is
espoused merely as a ruse against Thur
man. 1 think this charge is not we'll
founded.
The fact is, the greenback cause is .
strong one, and rs it is certain TO come
up in the approaching presidential cam
paign, there is no one-not even Mr..
Pendleton himself, were he not under q
cloud-more able to carry the banner Of
the Democracy on TO victory than this
venerable Allen, who seems to have be
come the Nestor Of his day. The people
love him. They will vote for him, too;
but when the cause he espouses is their
cause, it is easy to account for the inn
mense vote he polled last October, dis
pite the false i.sues above noted.
To run Allen against such . Peacock
as Conkling. or graspers like Blaine or
Bristow, or implacables as Nor.
ton, or even amisbles rs Hayes,
would surely be no mean policy on the
part OF the Democracy. .....-
We like Thurman. There are few
better men; but by his recent conduct he
has lost cast in Ohio. He cannot, by any
means, carry this State. Even Tilden is
more popular. And the course he and
his organs took against the Democracy
last fall, was most cruel and rePrehensi-

did they openly oppose US, and thus give

We begged our friends in the East TO
keep "hands of then; to stand aloof,
keep quiet, and We would bag the
game. But they would not; they
Ided with the enemy; they rendered

as we'll as cruel; they love their money
more than they do their party. New

were the two great causes that pulled
Allen out OF the gubernatorial chair and
placed Hayes in, Can this be forgotten 2

Office, it lies deep down in the hearts Of
the people. The Enquirer may
give it expression, that is all.
MANY Republicans wish the omination
of Allen, that they may vote for him Tor
President, who own they were deceived
in voting against him for Governor
