Virginia for the balance Of the week. and
that the performance Of this evening

The Republican National Committee seem,
by the recent ad6rcss they Issued summoning
q meeting Of the National Republican Con-
yention al Cincinnati, determined that if the
party is successful next November there shall
be clean sweep of the pressen, Office hol.
ders The address says none are TO have any
part in the great victory but those who are in

y5hment of all official dishonesty, and of an

by honest, faithful and capable officers 81

The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1876-02-05
WHISKY cROOXEDNEss.

The event of the week, in the crooked WINS
ky business, has been the conviction OF VIM
Mckee, one of the editors OF the St. LOUIS
Globe. Democrat, on the charge of conspiracy
to defraud the government as member OF
the ST. Louis whisky ring. The proof against
Mckee was clear enough, Only 1t WAS all based
IN the evidence of such of his partners in
guilt as had squealed, and his counsel hoped
to get HIM clear by persuading the jury mol
to accept such evidence, the court having re
fused to rule it out.
Next after Mckee came the case of ex.Col
lector Con. Mcguire, who, finding The jury
could so heartlessly convict, immediately al
ter eating a good dinner at that, SO truly good
man as Mckee, saw there was no hope for
himself, and ike the historical squirrel OF
Capt Scott, he "came down." pleading gs!i.
ty to all the counts of the indictment except
the last, which intimated that he made a large
amount of money by his membership of the
ring, which he denies IN toto. He was the
innocent dupe of the rest, and they "hogged
IT. all.
The next case to be called at ST. Louis is
that of Babcock, and from the habit Of con
viction" that granger jury have thus far man.
ifested, poor Bah may be excused for look
ing upon the coming trial with some trepida-
ton. The prosecuting attorney is confident
of conviction His case will pretty much
wind up the whisky docket at ST. Louis,
Next to St Louis, Indianapolis was the
most interesting in the whisky drama during
the week On Tuesday thirteen of her wor'
thy corn juice philosophers, who had either
been convicted or plead guilty to detrauding
the government, were hauled up for sentence.
The Judge gave most OF them $500 fines and
two years in the penitentiary, though IN the
case of John w. Bingham, on account Of his
brothers recent death and his wife's serious
illness, the Judge deferred passing sentence
for the present.
In Chicago, most of the accused hoped 20
escape the "demnition worry" of a trial as
well as severe punishment by pleading guilty,
but on Monday the squealerS were filled with
dismay by the publication of Pierrepont's let
ter, in which that functionary declares that
the only measure Of punishment will be the
amount of guilt, no matter whether estab
lished by proof on full trial. or by confession
This is said to make the squealers particu-
larly uncomfortable. Meantime The grand
jury continues at work daily grinding out
new cases
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1876-02-05

A year or two ago Prof. Johnson, of the
Illinois Industrial University, was prominent
among the Hootons and Smiths of this state
in advocating wild and reckless issue of
paper money as panacea for the hard
times" 1t seems that Prof. j. has found oc-
casion materially to modify his views on that
subject, for we find him writing to the Come
try Geatlcman, under date ofJan 18th, as fol.
lows:
More correct ideas about initiation and the
disasters sure to follow unlimited paper cur
rency, and the deSireableness of having pa.
pcr-money for circulating medium in the
place of money paper are getting so fast
abroad, that If they continue TO increase at
the same rate for another year, the specie
basis party viii have few opponents. Two
years ago at this time, three.iourths of this
community, if not four fifths, were clamorous
for money, meaning unlimited greenbacks 4;
today, not more than one-fourth of the voting
population are of that opinion. The coHtn-
ued and everlasting talk about hard times
and the scarcity of money since the panic of
1878 has, no doubt, had depressing effect ON
business and exaggerated the distress OF the
last two years but these discussions have re-
suited IN correcting our notions about money
and finance generally, have pretty clearly
demonstrated TO US the errors of which we
have been guilty, and we have finally point.
ed out the only direct and sure means for cor
rccting them.
