bonds, that cost the purchaser about forty
cents, were made payable In gold, and
resumption of the currency promised.
Thus Grant was fully endorsed, the con-
traction of the currency approved, and the
odious features of the resumption bill
maintained.
The result of the Cincinnati Convention,
therefore. in case of the success of the Re-
publican party, simply promises g perpet-
ustion OF Grantism. Already the Office
holders gather at Columbus. Hayes will
be plant In the hands OF those who are
now the friends and dependents of the sd-
ministration. Whatever may be said of
his private character, he will be managed
and controlled or the officeholders will
defeat him. The tempting prizs is before
him, and he is not strong enough to make
the canvass without the party machinery

election. The people may look
for a perpetuation Of Grsntism,
the continued sscendsncy OF the money
power, continued contraction of the cur
rency. Hayes, who was the champion OF
the radical measure of Jsnusry, 1875, last
tsll-the first contest of the money power
with the people-will, il elected, do the
bidding of those who elected him, the con-
certed power that combined and gave him

the National Repub' .ican Convention may
have said in their platform. The Indian
apolis Journal, knowing the situation,
does not sust ain the measure of its own
party, but, 9Th q weak and sophIsticsl ar
gument, tries to make 1t appear that the
Republia AN platform does not sustain the
resumTtIon bill. Why, then, did not
the convention say sol This bare
faced treschery to principle will not
obtain with the greenback Republi-
cans. 1t is the most scaudalous impo ST.
ton shat q psrty organ ever attempted to
perpetrste upon q party. But the cfurse
of the Journsi is imposed upon 1t 'oy the
scsion of it's party. The party In conven-
ton did not, it is true. In express words
condemn er msintsia the resumption
bill, but the bill having been fastened upon
the country by their party. they did not In
any way Vdisprove OF she ruinous contrac-
ton sgstlst which tae people are crying
out. They expressed no sympathy with
the thousands ano tens of thousands OF
idle mes, thrown out of employment by
this class Legislation. They did not

Repeal the Resumption Bill at Once
The Sherman resumption bill, that is
productive of no good, promising that
which can not be fulfilled, and yet destroy
ing confidence and working ruinous con-
+, traction, should be repealed at once. 1t
is Repsb lican measure. 1t was passed
by Repzhlicsn Congress. Every Repub-
}iican voted for 1t. Every Democrat voted
against IL. The Democratic party. If it
represents anything, represents the MASSES
of the people. Its strength is with the
sboring classes, the producers of wealth.
AL hese are loudly clsmoring for repeal
of the bill They will sustain the party
that repeats it. Party ties will not bind
mer who SEQ their property and their
means of livelihood taken away from them
by the party t{iey have supported. ALI over
the West the people have the clesrest
evidence that the oppressive policy OF
the administration of Grant, threatened ia
the Measure CT 1869 and eliminating
lin the resumption bill of 1875 lis the cause
of the present -sssgnstion in bnsinees and
the stoppsge OF manufacturing. They
hsve'th clesreste violence that no motiv es
of puDEo policy enforced this measure
upon theecountry. 1t was sp scies OF class
Liquidation intended In the interest of the
money power, and benefits that class only.
Toe Esster1 states favor this measure be-
cause the Eastern states are the mo ney
lenders of tbs nation. Against this species
OF legislation the whole West protests. Il
is not only the Democracy of the West
that protests. three-iourths of the Republi-
can party are with us on this question,
and they will vote with us on this qnes-
ton II we make the direct issue.
The Democratic House has delayed
long enough upon this question.
The people who sent them there
have waited long enough. Every
Democrat who hslts now will be
hsId to strict account. tits possible that
some Democrats In the East may not vote
for the bill, but there are enough without
them, Besides, there are Republicans In

hope to be elected again. They will not
dare to face their constituents With

must be made q: st. Louis. No unheard
of man. symbolized in popular phase
as the dark horse, must be for
single moment thought of. Let the
repre- sentatives of the party at once de-
terniine at st. Louis that they are not
called there simply as the champions OF
sfyme man, but to select the BEST and mos t
capable man of the party for the pred-
dency OF the nation, and the people will
ratify their work with an overwhelD ing
majority.
As the situation now presents i'sself. O
Western man must be chosen. ] he Re-
publicsns, recognizing the in cressing
power of the West, have now for the fifph
time come to the West for a candidate,
and have been successful over ne Eastern
candidates named by the Democracy.
They must not have this advantage
again. A Western man can carry
the West tor the Democracy on
an acceptable platform. With Hen
bricks as our standard pea rer, such a VIC
tory would be achieved in October in Indi-
ana and Ohio as would at orlce assure gen.
ersl victory in November. II on the other
hand we follow the precedents OF the party
whose convention has just been held and
narne some obscure and unknown man,
or IL the West is again abandoned and the
hepe of the party is based upon New York
alone, under the leadership of a man who
can not promise unity OF the party in his
own state, the party will commit an
egregious biunder, the probable effect of
which will return the Republican party to
power. Let us learn some lessons from
our past folly, and make wise use OF the
/ opportunity which the Republican situs-
! ton affords us, and victory will be ours.

A Lesson from Jefferson

1t is q part of the orthodox doctrine OF
the Democratic party to carefully weigh
and heed the opinions of the fathers,
especially OF the great and wise men who
laid the foundations of our government.
Among the truly great men of the revo-
luton, the men who shaped the destiny o:
the nation and put in concise and tangible
form the ideas OF self-government aud
equal rights, for which the race had been
long struggling, none were greater or
wiser than the writer of the Declaration OF
dependence-Thomss Jefferson. AS
Democrats we ought to carefully
consider the opinions of those who
established our government, that
we may be enabled to restore
1t once more to those principles of truth
and right which have given the nation
such wonderful prosperity, and the de
parture from which has caused all our suf-
fering and misfortune. In ITO Thomas
Jefferson was a member of the Virginia
House of Burgesses, aud while acting as
member of that body prepared and pub
lished a paper on the "Rights of British
America" which was so full and Just a
declaration of the duties of governments
and the rights Of man, that 1t laid the
foundation for the Declaration OF Independ-
ence, prepared the public mind to receive
1t, and procured for its author his sttaipder
for treason in England. There is one sem
tence OF this document which was the FORE
- Aof 81 -
which we shall soon celebrate the
hundredth anniversary, which ought
to form the basis of the plat
form TO be adopted at st. Louis-"T The
whole art of government consists
in the art of being honest" The
Sentinel suggest this as main plank In
the platform for the st. Louis Convention.
IL covers the whole ground. 1t is the
question, and really the most important
question, involved in the coming presi-
Dental election. 1t is evident that the
party have not learned the
art of government, for they have not
learned the art of being honest. Every
man who attempted to prs ,tice the art of
honesty has lost his head. Bristow at
tempted to be honest and punish Re-
publican thieves, and the effort at
the art caused his defeat at Cincinnati.
Blaine ignored the idea of honesty In gov
and came very near being the
for president, add is still the
leader Of the Republican
party. Jefferson says that those who
were bold enou b to oppose the house of
Stuart are "now devoted to ruin by the
unseen hand witch governs the momen-
tous affairs of this great empire" Even
so are those devoted to ruin who now
dare to oppose the reign of corruption
aud fraud OF Grants administration.
Let the sentiment of the 'spostle of
Democracy" of the last century be i'm
pre- ssed upon the mind Of every true DEM
CORA: of to-day. "The whole art of gov
eminent consists in the art of being

Hall and Bunker Hin

Colonel Robert IDgersoll, who has be-
come distinguished for his glitterinQ and
verbose eloquence Tor the men and mea-
sures of the Republican party, and for his
infidel lectures against the Christian re-
hgion-"An Honest God is the Noblest
Work of Man." Thomas Paine" and
kindred subjects-wss well fitted to place
in nomination James G. Blaine. He ssys
Massachusetts may be satisfied with the
loyalty of Benjamin II. Bristow, but that
"if the nominee of the convention can NOT
carry the grand old commonwealth by
$4,000 majority, 1 would advise them to
sell out Fsneuil Hall as a Democratic
headquarters" and he would advise them
"to take from Bunker Hill, the old monu-
ment of glory" The first proposition of
the infdel orator will be carried into
effect. Fsneuil Hall was Democratic head
quarters one hundred years ago, when
liberty was born in America. 1t will be
Democratic headquarters for the patriots
Of Massachusetts during this centennial
year, and It will not be necessary for Re-
publicans TO sell the grand old hall as they
have sold the integrity OF the nation and
the honor of their country they can not
barter the temples of freedom as they have
bsrtered the public lands, government
racy propose to take possession of Faneuil
Hall in the name of liberty and justice,
just as they did a hundred years ago,
They propose to recspture Bunker Hill,
but they will not follow Iugersoll's advice
about the monument.
The Democracy will allow the grand old
monument to stand. They will not per-
NIT the Republican party to tear it down,
as they have torn down the principles it
was built to commemorate. The Democ-
rscy propose TO restore the government
this very year to the solid principles of
honesty, justice and equality, taught by
the Adamses, by Jefferson, Franklin and
those other patriots who founded our gov
eminent 100 years ago. Robert Ingersoll
is consistent In advising his party to sell
the old monument. They have nothing
else to sell. But there is a grand body of
men still left in this country who will say
In this campaign to Colonel Ingersoll
and those associated with BIN: "You
shall not sell Bunker Hill. You shall no
longer sell the sacred memories OF our
fathers who fought there. You shall no
longer sell the liberty of the people whose
rights this government was made to pro-
tect. Bunker Hill Monument shall stand
as solid SIS the granite of which 1t is built.
1t was cemented by the blood of our
fathers, and every drop shall be sacred"
Now, that Hayes is nominated, and "thst
prince of psrliamentsr ans and leader of
leaders, James G. Blaine" defeated, In
gersoll may wish to amend bis PROPOSE
ton TO lease Fspeuil Hail and sell Bunker
Hill Monument; but as it is impossible
for the nominee of the convention
to carry Massachusetts by seventy five
thousand majority" it must be regarded
as binding upon the convention to carry
out the proposition of the orator, if they
are prevented by the people, who are sup
posed to have some voice in making the

Upon being interviewed as to theresult
at Cincinnati, Bristow said he could speak

sentiment on that subject had been SO me-
