DEMONETIZING SILVER.

81 There has been considerable of q cry
recently, about "demonetizing" silver, and
the Democracy charge that the Republi-
cans are responsible therefor. Is that a
fact2 Let us look back a few years and
see what we can find. Up to 1858, sill
yer coins of amy denomination were legal
tender IN any sum presented; but in that
year the Democratic Congress passed q
law reducing the weight Of the fractional
parts Of dollar, and providing further
that it shall be 'legal tender in payment
of debts for all sums not Exceeding .Jfre
dollars" So you see it was Democrat
10 Congress that first demonetized silver,
and that it has been demonetized. for
twenty years, and yet you never thought
to make fuss about it before; because
you never knew the difference. Hereaf-
ter when you go to grumbling about sill
yer not being legal tender, remember
who first passed the law debasing it. By
the way, most Republicans are in favor
of making it legal tender, and no doubt
such a bill viii be passed as soon as Re
publicans get majority again, which
will be after the 4th of next March. dl

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

Friend, why are you supporting
the Democratic party ? You must
be doing it on the bare promises of
some Of its office-seeking leaders, for
you certainly could not on its record.
l. has record, but it is hardly such
us one would choose who is seeking
pure party. Its record reeks with
fraud, corruption and iHfamy, from
the days of James Buchanan down.
1t favored slavery in 1860, and a
large majority of it's members still
favor it; and TO perpetuate it, the
war Of the rebellion was instituted,
wherein half a million gallant boys
in blue lost their lives; and the
immense debt now hanging over the
country was created to put down n
Democratic rebellion. Every State
that went into rebellion was almost
unanimously Democratic, and conse-
quently the rebel army was unani-
mously Democratic. 1t is alone re.
sponsible for the horrors of An
Jacksonville and kindred prisons, and
Democrats alone have the audacity
to defend them to-day. TWAS DEM
ocrat who was at the head of the
Confederacy, and to-day he is raising
his voice for "Tilden and reform" 1t
is this same Democrat who is respon-
sible for the 'sdead-line" at Anderson
vile, the starvation and kindred hor-
rors of that and other pens of like ma
ture. Democracy resisted the draft,
furnished all the Copperheads, declar-
ed through Tilden that the war was
failure, refused "more men and moo
money" 1t pronounced against the
constitutional amendments, and adj
vocated the reputation of the ma
tional debt, contracted to put down
its own rebellion 1t is to-day kill
ing men in every rebel State because
they are Republicans, and for that
alone. 1t has stuffed ballot-boxes in
the most outrageous manner. 1t has
legislated free schools to death in
Texas and Alabama and will in 9TH
or States. 1t has submitted bogus
claims enough to bankrupt the gov
eminent, and will allow them if it
gets into power. 1t kicked Union
soldiers out of office and filed their
places with rebel soldiers. 1t has for
its leader in the presidential contest,
a periurer, a defaulter of the govern
ment, the bosom friend, ally and
tool of Boss Tweed in his palmiest
days, and is now crying for reform.
These and ten thousand other reasons
should deter any honest man from
voting that ticket.

The commissioners are now treating
with the hostile Indians again, but we do
hope that the old suicidal plan of feeding
and furnishing them during the winter
will not be adopted. We say, put them
to work; do with them as we did with
the negroes when We freed them let them
90 to work for their living as other peo-
pie do. Parcel out their lands, allowing
them to homestead on same terms as
white men, giving them the preference
forsome stated time, and protect them from
the piratical whites who prey on them, and
hold the Indians strictly. accountable for
all violation of flaw. Make them work a
little and they win have less time for
devilment. - ln go g

A DEMOCRATIC REFORMER.

"One by one the roses fade" Now it
is Dorsheimer, the Democratic candidate
for Lieut.. Gov. of N. Y, the especial
friend and tool of Tilden, and one of his
chief buglers at st l. tlis. As reform
er, he has blown himself hoarse parading
the virtues of Tilden and the Democratic
party. In fact he blew his bugle too
hard, for he cracked it, and here is the re-
suit. His virtuous Highness was in 1868,
U. s. District Attorney for the Western
District of New York, and made some of
the most outrageous mileage steals that
are to be found anywhere. For instance !:
he lived in Buffalo. He would have
cases arranged for trial, SO that he
would have one at Albany one day,
one at Troy, seven miles dis
tant, next day, but when his mileage bill
went in he would charge mileage from
Buffalo to Albany and return 500 miles,
and then next day, although he travelled
only seren miles, he put in his bill for full
mileage, from Buffalo to Troy and return
604 miles. This was common occur
renee, an every day occurrence, and was
kept up for years; was direct steal, and
yet this beautiful pink is now running
as chief bugler of the reform party in
New York, occupies the second place on
the ticket, and is airexample of what
may be expected if Tilden succeeds. Re

rha arallant how Jim Steedman.

The gallant boy" Jim Steedman,
who first started the lie about Gov.
HAYES returns to the tax collector,
is sample reforn,er. He is fine
man to charge corruption on any
man, and just the boy to shout flor Tilden
and reform. In 1857 he was elected
Congressional printer by a Democratic
Congress, and sold his Office to Cornelius
Wendell for 100000. Two years later
he was bankrupt, and demanded $4,000
more from Wendell, and actually received
$25 900 to prevent him from turning w.
out. He became Major General during
the war, and was, under Andy Johnson's
reign, in 1866, placed in command of the
department of Georgia, and while there
stole 81, 100000 worth of cotton and re-
signedvery suddenly to escape court martial.
He was most notorious gam bier, and
soon squandered even that vast sum, and
at one time had Andy Johnson's promise
that he should be appointed Secretary of
War; but that missed fire, and he was
appointed Collector for the LIST district of
Louisiana, where, he distinguished him
self by filing rotten bond, and then
stealing $6l4,754.95, and thus far the
government has not been able to recover
cent from principal or bondsmen, ex-
cept $4,000 from one bondsman on
compromise.
This is the beautiful pimp who holds
high the banner of Tilden and reform,
shouting himself hoarse in its defense,
and passes his spare time defaming honest
men like Gov Hayes. So it is from the
head to the tail of that party and its tick

Four of the Mortified Mimi robbers,
who murdered the cashier Of the bank at
that place, were captured near Madelia,
MINI. A boy named Oscar Oleson San
born, saw them pass, became satisfied it
was them, and tried to induce his father
and the neighbors to pursue, but they
scoffed at him; nothing daunted he
mounted horse, rode to Madelia, got a
small crowd-eight persons to follow
him, and they soon struck the trail and
followed them some distance, and
surrounded them in patch of brush, and
the pursuers advancing upon them in
skirmish line, soon drew their fire. AT
the first volley, one robber was killed,
and two others were soon wounded
severely, and the fourth, the one who
was wounded in the arm at Mortified
was again slightly wounded when he sur
rendered. They say they are the Young
I er brothers, but refuse to tell who the
others (who were killed. were. 1t il
thought that the two yet at large are the
James brothers. .

The night after Tilden's resolution de-
claring ''the war four years of, failure
was adopted, Tom Hendricks made a
speech in Chicago, in which he said
speaking Of Abraham Lincoln, that he
trusted that the 'people had not sunk so
slow but that they could rise to crush out
aAbolitionism, and hurl the sn,atty old
"tsraat at Washington out of existence"
Seven months later, Wilkes Booth did
just what Hendricks asked him to, and
"hurled Abraham Lincoln out of exist
tence." This man now asks to be made
Vice President Of the United States. To
what depth America would fall should
his desires be contaminated.

INDIANA.


Every eye is turned upon Indiana.
Tuesday, Oct 10, the contest viii be
decided. No State has been SO thorough
ly worked up by both parties as has that
State. The National Republican Com
mittee has been severely censured for
not giving the State more attention, and
sending more missionaries in, for it is a
well known, and never denied fact that
Tilden's committee is disbursing what is
left of that bari, very freely, not only
paying legitimate expenses, but have been
over in Kentucky and arranged for thou
sands of votes there; and have also col
lected the tramps and furnished them
employment for the purpose OF voting
them. We are opposed to all unfair
means of carrying ON elections, but do
think that speakers should be furnished,
that Republican gospel may be preached
from every fence corner If necessary.
GEO. w. FRIEDLEY of Indianapolis, the
chsifmnasHH is making gallant fight, and
should win, and we believe he will There
is no doubt but the Republicans would
succeed were it not for the little green
back element that draws from the Re
publican party, and has not ghost of a
show for electing even adogpelter." The
Republican part Of that vote, where il be
longs, would elect gallant Ben. Harrison
by round majority. Since the birth OF
the Republican party, that State has, in
the October elections gone Democratic
six times-lss6, 1858, 1862, 1870, 1872,
1874, and Republican four times, 1850,
1854, 1866. 1861 So you see il iss-
Democratic State and has been since
1870, though we believe IT has never fail
ed to give its electoral vote for the Repub-
ican nominees. II We carry it on the

GRERNBACK MIDDLE.

When the greenbackers began opera-
tons, with old mossback Democrats for
leaders, We warned Republicans that 1t
was simply move to sell them out to
the Democracy, and the game has been
growing more and more apparent every
day since. A vigorous attempt was made
to have the Democratic Congressional
Convention swallow the greenbackers, bat
some of the anxious 6. BIS. had been a lit
tie too fast and nominated a candidate
that did not suit the old Bourbons, be-
cause he had been a soldier, and because
he would not put himself in their tolls
and become their tool, so the Democracy
put their wire-pullers to work to accom-
plish their end. First they tried to get
Conley to withdraw, but feeling that ne
had the best right on the ticket, because
first nominated, he refused. Then they
set themselves to work to force him OH,
and to show how well they accomplished
the end we have only to refer to the re-
suits of the State convention OF green
hackers, which met at Des MoiDes last
week. At caucus of Bourbons and q.
BIS held the night before the Convention,
it was decided to push Conley OF the
the track by calling new convention for
(Which meets at Oskaloosa,
Oct. 81 and then they threw Conley an
empty sop by nominating him for elector
in this district. Porte WEIGH wrote Con-
ley from Des Moines, asking him to with
draw from the canvass, saying if he would,
zoe ,oiH get Hendershott off" We,
eh; it seems to us that man in Porte'S
shoes, who has made the professions ne
has, would have little influence in the
Democratic camp, but he says, "We can
get Hendershott" out of the way Con-
ley, however, would not withdraw, but
charged his friends with selling him out,
and says, (just as we always told you)
that it is done to get an old Bourbon on;
Or rather to get new greenback conven-
lion to take up Hendershott, and endorse
him, achich soiH be done. 9ai 3
This Republicans, is the very game we
warned you against, and we warn you
now to beware of it; to beware of any
thing Democracy has anything to do with.
Democracy know that neither it nor the
greenbaek party can hope to carry county,
State or district, divided, and hence they
must unite on some enc, land that one
Bourbon, to hope to accomplish any
thing. Now Republican greenback friend,
will you allow yourself to be sold out and
delivered in any such a manner, to the
old Copperhead Democracy? Do you
think the country would be safe in the
hands Of such men as composed the late
Confederate House? You know you do
not, and yet that is just what the green
back leaders are trying to do. Beware
Of them. You know well enough that
you never left the Republican party to
follow any dodge yet, that you were not
sold out to the Democracy; Reform"
Liberal" "Grange," all were the tools Of
Democracy, and this one-idead greenback
party is the same thing. Beware in time.

A Republican in the South to-day,
has but little more chance than he
had in 1860. Then The blacks were
slaves and could not be counted po-
litically, and a Republican who pro-
claimed his politics was almost GER
tain to be killed. The matter is now
but little bettor in three-fourths of
the South In 1860, he was publicly
disposed of; now is done by assas-
sins. Thecondition of things is a burn
ing disgrace to a so-called free coun-
try, and every boy who wore the
blue feels that he spent years of life
in vain. When we are fairly beaten
by voting, we will not squeal, but
when shot-guns and intimidation car
ry the day, we cry for governmental
interference, and we have now some
assurance that protection will be
given.

Tilden opposed the Union army in
every way that he could without taking
up arms against it, and fear of his own
worthless carcass is no doubt all that pre-
vented him from doing that. He even
declared that the Southern States had a
right to secede, and we had no right to
prevent them. Tom Hendricks went
even further and denounced the war in
the widest terms as an abolition crusade,
and declared that mo more men and no
more money" was the correct principle to
90 on; and both were in the Chicago
Convention of 1864. Tilden as men,
Der of committee on resolutions, which
declared the war flour years of failure"
and demanded immediate cessation of
hostilities." These men were two OF the
meanest Copperheads that ever lived, yet
are to-day trying to get union soldiers to
vote for them, and help put the rebels in
power in the nation. Very few will do
it, don't you think SO. boys?
