TlLDEN OK FINANCES.

Some Of our Republican editors and orators
are somewhat hysterical about tho position
of fTiden and Hendricks on the question of
Finance and Currency. True, cur oppo-
honts know littlo about the subject as shown
by their past management Of it nor are they
honest enough to publish the views Of cur
candidates. 1t may lull their fears to read
the following from the Phila. Ledger, owned
by Childs, Grants intimate and confidential
friend, and considered sound authority ON Il.
nancial questions.
We have already noticed the open ayowal-
Of several ofthe candidates named for Pre-
sidout aHd Vice President Of the United
Static, and in no direction is there any pro.
babliiy of a direct leaning to au nation
OF the currency. There is moi the least dan
ger that either Of cur political parties will
adopt any such programme.
