Democratic paper. The Albany .Jonraat
answers: /" A barrel of it went to St Louis.
and Bates & Locke got another"
The Attorney General has definitely de-
cidcd not to recommend the pardon of any
of the convicted and sentenced whisky con-
spirators. This will be sorry news to the
Democracy.
John Morrissey told Tilden to his face
1 cut loose from Tweed in 1868, before it
was known that he had done anything
wrong, bit yoU stuck to him until 1S7t."
And Mr.. Tilden had no word of reply.
Which is the more consistent reformer of
these two worthless
Democrats complain becai,se Republicans
are turning over the books of the administra-
tions of Polk, Pierce and Buchanan, and
discussing swiudles amounting to $4,000,
600 in Indian appropriations. 1t is rather
ancient, that's fact but as it is the last
time that those eminent thimbleriggers had
control of the government it is the best We
can do.-Ne,o York Graphic.
The Albany Times, one of the foremost
Democratic papers in New York, insists
| upon the immediate withdrawal of Gov
ernor Tiden from the Democratic ticket,
and the New Haven Comm Union, am
other influential organ of the Democracy.
says:
The duty ef the Western Democracy Is
plain. Tlden might as well be given the
go-by, and grand stand taken for Peter
Cooper. At any rate, if the Democrats of
the West and South are to fght a hopeless
battle, they should prefer defeat in con
test for principle to defeat in scramble
for spoils. We are prepared to witness Il
grand skedaddle from the Tilden ranks in
the next five weeks
The funding of $500, 100000 of the s.
20's, bearing six per cent. interest, into
$500, 100000 of four and half per CENTS,
which has just been accomplished by Secre-
tary Morrill,, will save to the Government
$4,000 a year by reducing the interest
on the debt to that amount. This is a prac-
teal way of doing things, and is a complete
answer to Tilden's complaint that there was
nothing done or doing in this direction
While he was busy in scolding and COM
planning, the Republican administration was
busy in negotiating successfully the fund
ing of this large amount of six per cents.
The difference in the credit of the Gov
ernment when under Democratic rule and
when under Republican rule is shown by
the fact that in 1858, Mr.. Buchanan Sec
retary of the Treasury, Howell Cobb, was
unable to place six pei cent. gold loan of
only $40, 100000 The Government then
had no national debt All of its outstand-
ing bonds had been redeemed but the
Democratic administration of Buchanan was
so wasteful and extrayagant that it was un-
able to meet its daily obligations. Its re-
venues fell short of its expenditures; and Mr..
Cobb was compelled to go upon the market
as borrower. But there were no lenders.
The monied men would not take the loan,
and Mr.. Cobb was beggar as well us u
borrower. Yet under Republican ad-
ministration, encountered with heavy war
debt, the Government finds no trouble in
negotiating an exchange of $500, 900, 600
of six per cents. for an equal amount Of
four and a half per cents. The bankers
and the moneyed men no longer lack con
fidence in the Government, but wrangle
with each other who shall lie foremost in
getting share of the new loan
! The conclusion is that if the credit of
the Government is to be maintained, the
the Republican party must be kept in
charge of it. The surest way to destroy
the credit of the Government is to put the
Democratic party in power.
