Let Rennbllcans Speak.

Mr.. JOIN q. THOMPSON, Chairman OF tho
Democratic State Committee OF Ohio, has
taken the lead in calling public meeting
Mt Columbus TO denounce the proposed
counting In OF Mr.. HAYES us President.
In doing this we think Mr.. THOMPSON
makes u mistake.
Mr.. THOMPSON is conspicuous and ar
dent member of the Democratic party.
Everybody knows it, and everybody
knows how he aud his associates feel
about tho conspiracy now in process of
execution. A public meeting to express
this feeling will therefore not have any
peculiar weight, for it will tell the people
nothing which they do not fully under
stand already.
This conspiracy TO count in President
by the KELLOGG process is purely and eX-
clusvely Republican, and the question
about il is how far the reputable and pa
triotic portion OF the Republican party are
willing that the game should be played
out rs ZACH CHANDLER and JAY GOULD
have set II up.
If public meetings TO protest against this
unexampled crime are to be held, they
should be called by supporters of HAYES
not by the friends of Mr., TILDEN. When
the former outrage in Louisiana was car
RED through, Mr. BRYANT and Mr.. EVARTs
were foremost in donouncing ii ana in eX.
posing the dangers to liberty with which
II wa' pregnant. They were Republicans,
and their manly, patriotic utturances had
n profound effect. II any uttcrance /:
to have any extraordinary weight now, il

debts were to BIO paid, and left all the re-
naming assets, without regard to profits,
to be distributed to tho stockholders in
full satisfaction and discharge of their
stock. The second net excludes from all
possible profits of the stockholders any
moneys that may remain in the treasury
after the debts are paid to the extent of
S16O0,000, which belongs to the United
States. After this payment Is made, the
surplus goes TO the stockholders, who may
call 1t profits, or call IL n dividend, rs they
like. The law says that they are TO receive
II in full discharge of their stock, and they
are not to receive anything else.
II, rs the accounts appear to show, there
is large balance of cash in the treasury
OF this corporation, over and above the
expenses, the stockholders after the Gov
eminent has been repaid lite 81 900, 900, will
still have the residue of that cash, and all
the property that stands in the name OF
their corporation in addition. We notice
that our contemporary, the Journal Of
Commerce, hopes that the Centennial Com
mssioners will sec to it that the Govern
meDt gets its money at an early day. We
have pointed out that there are two dis
tinct corporations, one of which holds the
title to the property and the funds on
which the Government has lien; the
other is vistatorial and experimenting

is to overlook the closing up Of the affairs

A year ago, when Turkey could not pay

was pronounced to be in state Of hopeless
bankruptcy, II was supposed she could not 1nd
money to prosecute the war that had then be-
gun. But yet, during the year that has passed
since then, she has maintained great armies In

involved ceaseiess fighting, and has somehow
found the means to obtain supplies, arms, and

gin a war with the Russian empire, which VIII
involve battles on land and sea, aud an immense

Col. OLcorT, the hierophant of the Theo-

that the burning OF the body Is a measure OF
