From the Northern Ohio Drmocrat.l
WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT.

SENATOR THURMAN is opposed to
the Republican Resumption law, but
he wants a Democratic specie pay
ment act in place of it. In making
this declaration does our Senator
represent the DEMOCRATS of Ohio or
the money bags of Wall street? What
assemblage of Democrats in Ohio
larger than a county convention has
ever given expression in favor of a
forced resumption of specie pay
ment, in any form? If any Demo
cratic Congressional Convention has
so declared, the fact has escaped our
notice, and we will be obliged to any
one who will call our attention to it.
To repeal the present law and replace
it with an act forcing speciepayment
will be an admission that the princi-
pie of the present law is right, and
that it failed only in its details. If
the industrial interests of the coun-
try are to be destroyed by Legislation
it makes no difference to the people
whether they are ruined by Demo-
Gratis or Republicans. An agree
ment of leading Democrats ard Re
publicans to neutralize the effect of
the currency question on the Presi-
Dental contest by occupying identi-
cal positions on specie payment will
result as disastrously to the high
contracting parties as did the agree
ment of HENRY CLAY and MARTIN
VAN buren, TO express similar opin-
ions on the annexation of Texas, to
those gentlemen. Priorto the meet
ing of the nominating conventions of
both parties in 1874, the annexation
of Texas was troublesome question,
threatening the disruption of both
parties on account of a difference of
opinion between the people and the
leading men on both sides, and Mr..
VAN buren,, whose nomination by
the Democrats was considered GER
tain, visited Mr.. CLAY at his home
at Lexington, KY, where an arrange
ment was made which shortly after
was given to the public in letters
which were identical in the express
ion of moderate opposition to annex
alton. The Democrats beat VAN
buren, in their convention and the
people beat CLAY at the election,
choosing JAMES X. Polk, who was in
favor of annexation, President. An
attempt to take the currency ques-
Etion out of the approaching contest
for President by any diplomatic ar
rangement between leading politi-
clans and aspirants for-the Presi-
dency who are afraid to face the is
sue, will result in the overthrow of
the Money Power in the Democratic
Convention and the defeat of the Re
publican candidate in the election.
The people are determined to vote
on the living issues of the country.
The corruption and laundering OF
the Republican party, including the
financial policy which has destroyed
the prosperity o fthe country, are the
issues upon which the people have
decided to pass judgment, and no
patching up of the wretched and
ruinous currency failure of the Re-
publicans by Democratic financial

To the Editor of the Democrat:

To the Editor of the Democrat:
Another evidence that the disabled
soldiers claim on the. Government
patronage is not ignored by the DEM
ocratic patty, is given in the action
of the Hon. JoHN A. MCMAHON in Sc
curing for MI. LAWRENCE BILLEY, an
inmate of this Home, a place as fire
man in the House of Representatives
at Washington. This makes the
fourth appointment that Mr.. Nc
Mahon has secured for inmates Of
this Home; and he has presented
over twenty bills in Congress relating
to special grants of pension, and as
many more for arrears of pay and
bounty. OF course in doing so he
simply did his duty; but sit is a
good man that does his duty" and
Mr.. Mcmahon has done his in such
an effectual manner he deservedly
receives the praise of the 'boys that
wear the blue" VETERAN.

doctors can divert the masses from
deciding the money question in the
election. The delegates to the Dem
ocratic National Convention will
look with disfavor upon any candi-
date supported by Washington in
trigue, for ever since the authority
was taken from Congressman to Sc
lect the Democratic candidates for
President and Vice President by the
assembling of a Democratic National
Convention in 1928, Congressional
interference with tile selection of
candidates has been regarded with
suspicion and disapprobation by the
people.
Repeal the resumption law, uncon-
ditionally, without attempting to
force Democrats to vote for some
thing that may be considered less
odious in its place in order to get rid
Of the present act. Let every tub
stand on its Own bottom. Every
Democratic member Of Congress who
reflects the wish of the people that
the resumption law shall be repeal
ed, will be justified in refusing tC
vote for any other form, in order tt
secure the repeal. The men who in
sist upon attaching conditions to thu
repeal which its sincere friends ar,
opposed to will be held responsible,
by the people.
