ED. JOURNAL:
In his speech before the Democrat
ic County Convention at Pt. Pleas
ant, on the 18th inst, Henry M
Matthews, the candidate for Cover
nor Of West Virginia, said that il
the presidential campaign just open.
ing, the Democratic party propose to
''let the dead past bury its dead" tc
put aside the issues previous to 1865,
and discuss the acts of the admins
tration during the past eleven years
He then made the keynote of his
speech the proposition that the genius
of our government makes natural, if
not necessary, the existence of two
opposing, political parties-the one
seeking to promote Capitalization, the
other striving to preserve to the States
and the people their just rights.
What means this Capitalization
which he sought to fasten upon the
Republican party as stigma? From
my limited vision it must mean either
the vesting in one department of the
government the constitutional pow
ers of an other, or the making of the
Federal Government superior to that
of the States. We hear none OF
them make any other construction.
Now, the former of these cannot be
what is meant, because any act look
ing to this would be declared uncon-
stitutional by the Supreme Court. 1t
seems then that we are driven to the
second construction, viz: That the
Federal Government is supreme. Do
Republicans disclaim such doctrine?
Shall we shrink from the disgrace at
tending such Capitalization? Has
this doctrine sprung up since 1865?
Had it not been promulgated long be-
fore, that year would not now be dis
tinguished as year of peace. We
fondly hoped that this had been set
tied by the war eleven years ago in
stead of coming up as new issue.
Mr.. Matthews belongs to the opposing
party, the one that denies such SUI
premacy, according to his speech.
When he stands up and ayows this
old theory as the main principle of
the party that is opposed to the Re-
publican, is he letting the dead past
bury its dead?
Since the Republican platform is
square for hard money, and the Dem
ocratic for auv kind one nleases- there
should be some prominent issue to
make the existence Of two parties
necessary. Is it true, as the speech
logically says, that this one is to be
the old one of States rights, or is
that only the sentiment of Mr.. Mat
thews, an ex-confederate of such Bit
ter propensities that he once said he
would sell his last shirt 10 educate
his child before he should attend one
of our free schools2

The Lower House Of Congress has
passed "a bill TO redeem the outstand-
ing fractional currency with subsidi-
ary silver coin by a vote OF l22 to
100. BY its provisions the Treasury
Department must proceed at once to
substitute silver coins of the denomi-
nations of 10, 90, % and 80 cents for
the $40, $4,000 of fractional curren-
CIV now outstanding. Silver dollars
are made legal tender to the amount
of $50, and coins of lesser denomina-
ton are made Legal tender for
anv amount not exceeding S25 in one
payment. The Senate will most like
lv either fail to agree or kill it with
amendments.
Moreover, there is already another
ssrt Of bill altogether proposed for
taking up the greenbacks, authoriz-
ing the Secretary Of the Treasury to
sell for legal tenders, to be immedi-
ately cancelled and destroyed, on the
first Tuesday OF each month from
February to September, inclusive, in
New York to the highest bidder,
bonds of the United States to the
amount of three million dollars, bear
ing AZ per cent. interest, the princi-
pal of the bonds to he paid in thirty
years, if goll.
As stated a few days ago, we have
no faith in the Washington assem-
blage doing anything On the financial
and other leading questions until
after the Presidential election. For
two or three years following that
event, something definite nay be ac-
cpmplished. The silver question, too,
is about on a par, in the minds OF
eastern people, with the Chinese
