MCKEE.

Every candid and unprecedented man
who has carefully read the evidence in
the Mckee case must pronounce the de-
fendarft mot guilty" The only testimo-
ny connecting him with che conspiracy
was that of ritzroy, who admitted that
nc had committed innumerable perjuries
rs an United States officer, and that he
had also perjured himself before xhe
grand jury at least on one occasion. We
have known Mr.. Mckee for several
years, and from our knowledge Of his
character 1t would take the testimony of
a multitude of Fitzroy's to convince us
of his completely with the whisky ring
frauds. He is an old man, q mar OF
wealth, and the principal proprietor of a
great and influential journal; he also
had great influence with his party and
with the administration. We can sec
no motive which would impel him to
the commission of such a crime. If he
was g ''fast" man in any sense of the
word onr views might be changed, but
this is not the case. lie is a man oftem-
perate and inexpensive habits, and is de-
cidedly domestic in all his tastes. That
such a man would commit such an Of
fence is to our mind impossible. He
has always been a positive man, and as
a matter of course has incurred ene-
mics. He is a journalist. and has
equally OF course excited bitter rivalries.
AS a public man and partizan, he has
arrayed against himself political hatred
and animosity. We believe these preju-
diees and hostilities were manifested in
the jHry box at his late trial, and we
hope the verdict may be set aside. II
such prejudices and hostilities are kept
out of the jury box, and Mr.. Mckee is
tried fairly before an unprejudiced jury,
we believe an acquittal will properly re.

In Illinois and Indiana have nomina
ted State tickets and issued u call Tor a
National Convention. Here is the sum
and substance Of the financial policy de-
clared:
The resolutions demand a repeal of
the Resumption act; declare that it is
the duty Of the Government to establish
a monetary system based on the faith
and resources of the nation that the
notes of State and National Banks and
all local currency be withdrawn and
bills issued by Government instead such
bills to be legal-tender for all debts, du-
ties on imports included, except such as
arc by law payable in metal; these bills
to be interchangeable tor Government
3,65 per cent bonds. They demand that
the present bonded debt be refunded in
to registered interchangeable 365 per
cent bonds; declare that the public do
main belongs to the people, and should
be given in sixty-acre plats to soldiers,
without occupation, and insist en- severe
retrenchment.
The Chicago Tribune says: The most
of this staff Is 30 old as to have become
misty and stale. The demand Tor a
monetary system based son the faith
and resources" of the country is repeat
ed. and then this system is declared to
be an issue of irredeemable paper mon
ey. Exatly where the resources of
the country are in any way put in pledge
for that which is never to be redeemed
is not disclosed by the independents"
When no resources" whatever are
available, or intended to be available,
to redeem the i-redeemable paper, it is
rank stupidity to assume that such ''res-
ources" are in any way a security, and
it is s%uperfluous to ask people TO repose
''faith" in what il is intended shall new
er be done.
The GOVERNMENT, it is demanded,
shall become the great scrip money-ma-
ker, and that this scrip shall be inter-
changeable for scrip bonds bearing
scrip interest. And the further demand
is made that the sixteen or seventeen
hundred millions of dollars of national
bonds shall he taken up with an issue of
scrip bonds bearing 8 65 per cent scrip
interest,
All gold receipts by the Government
are to be abolished, and to pay the in
terest IA the public debt the Govern
ment is to buy gold with its own ire
deemable scrip. At this time there are
at least one thousand millions of dollars
Of the gold bonds Of the United States
held in Europe, and these Independents
assume that the holders will surrender
them and take scrip bonds bearing 65
per cent interest in irredeemable paper!
They have either assumed this impossi-
bility or they have never estimated how
many scrip bonds bearing 8 65 interest
in sc,ip-the scrip redeemable in moth
ing-it will require to purchase one
gold bond. 1t may be, however, that
the purpose is TO make the exchange
compulsory, and tho cost of this repu-
diation they have never probably con-
sidered.
The sun and substance of their whole
monetary system" ia to initiate and de-
~teriorate tho currency indefinitely, and
then to reduce the debt to the scrip
standard, and then to let debt, currency
and public and private credit perish out
of sight, in u national and individual
ruin such as the world has never wit
messed,

THE PATRON VS.. THE REPUB.
LICAN.

On two occasions we have found it
necessary to speak Of the proposed at
tempt of Mr.. Paul to start another
Republican paper here in opposition
to us. We did this from the stand
point as it affected us personally, in a
private business sense, and also, as
we thought, it affected the Republic
can party. OF the general correct
ness of these views we believe Our
readers generally, conversant with all
the circumstances of the case, will
bear us out. Each of these articles,
the editor Of the Patron, thoughofno
immediate concern to him, made the
basis of long, rambling, editorials,
two or three times the length of what
we had to say, clearly for the sake of
Juggling in other subjects to which we
made no sllusion, but which sugges-
ted themselves to him, as aAording
him an opportunity to make a diver
sion against us. This is entirely in
accordance with The cunning and un-
scrupulous system Of tactics which
make up the history Of that paper.
His article last week, based on what
we said about the new paper, is in
striking proof of this. In the course
of our article we said a little clique
Of Republicans and Democrats were
putting him (Mr. Paul,) forward for
purposes of their own, &C., &c. Here
our neighbor sees his opportunity,
and passing over everything else in
the article, and disrogarding its
meaning, proceeds to single out the
am of three Republicans and INT
Democrat as constituting that clique,
and then, under the head Of each one,
spreads himself quite glibly as to
their personal and political concerns,
never alluded to by us,-and gives
them a "shine up" free gratis, that
ought to last a month. His
whole article of a column in length
was conceived and written with the
view of singing out these gentlemen,
and making what petty capital he
could in trying to create a little dis
senslon Leave out those names and
his article has no meaning; and with
them in it it has no relevancy to the
article it pretends to answer. His
statement of the position of the three
Republicans contains nothing ofwhat
We were not previously aware from
their own lips weeks before; nor
nothing inconsistent with the state
ment Of our belief that there were
some Republicans aiding Mr.. Paul in
his movement, taking Mr.. Paul's
prospectus and his business sagacity
into consideration.
AS to there being Democrats who
would like to see another Republican
paper started here there can possibly
be no question. They could but be
gratified at such q state Of zIairs.
And why allude 10 J9dge MeLain!
The Patron says that the .1Deeessities
of business caused hin and Mr. Paul
n few days ago TO shake hands over
the "bloody chasm," aud they both
felt better yer il. That 10 very like
ly. And the necessities Of politics"
will be found equally as potent in the
matter of hand shaking and bridging
bloody chasms.
