THIs is the way the Cincinnati Ga
=ette, the leading Republican organ oi
Ohio shows up the demagoguism OF
the demand of its party for speedy re-
sumption "The Connecticut Repub-
lican Convention resolved that the
National Government is pledged to
make its greenback notes sas good as
gold to the holders.' To what hold
ers J.? To those that received them first
or last? What claim havefthe last to
have them any better than they were
when they received them? The gov
ernment is simply pledged to pay
them. 1t does this when it receives
them for duties. That keeps the
pledge" 1850 aF ntsa etissm ssa

harmony i'm the Radical ranks ON the

Grant had received sac, 900 from Parke

Mr.. Mitchell, of Kansas City. who

from Henry Heister admitting that he
made the statement. The only error
in the statement telegraphed was that
