We would not insinuate that a prominent
democrat can be an ass, especially if he lives in
the same county with turkey buzzard Green
Of the IL Sueur Sentinel but at the risk Of
hurting the feelings of the ass we will call at
tentlou to the fact that the secretary Of the
treasury in his recent report admitted that,
doSnt) April /, 1878, the silver dollar:
.'Was a unit Of value, having the quality Of
legal tender Tor all sums ard Ill all cases, and
tina. the terms Of the United States obligations
do not exclude payment therein, and that the
act Of 1869 iii winch is the pledge of payment
in coin, does not, IN terms, discriminate
against silver.
Now it will be remembered that the tempo
rary chairman OF the democratic convention,
which met at Hastings Sept. Is g, gave As his
frequent and profound reason for not desiring
t. coop. ate with the greenbackers, that "sil-
yer never had been money in the United
