question is another that is producing
confusion in the Democratic camp. The
greenback men of Ohio and the West
are swearing that they will not do as
the Israelites did when Moses was on
Mount Sinai, '.bow down to a golden
calf - and this feeling is largely shared
by the Confederate brigadiers, while the
hard money men are disconsolate over
the idea of having tc dandle 1.-The rag
baby" The Western men point to the
elections in Ohio and New York, and
say. I'VE pOlled the largest Democratic
vote ever polled in Ohio on a greenback
platform. and you lost forty thousand
of last years Democratic majority in
New York on a specie platform. So oar
views must prevail" On the other hand,
the hard money men say that New
York can only be carried on a specie re-
sumption basis, and that without New
York there is no hope of success. 1t is
a very pretty quarrel as it stands, and
the Republicans are like the woman,
when her husband and the bear fought,
don't care cuss which whips"
While there are rivalries among Re-
publican leaders as to who shall be the
nominee for President, there are no IN
reconcilable differences, because they
have well-defned principles, which all
support, and when the candidates are
selected, all will unite to render these
principles and the chosen standard
bearers triumphant The great reforms
that were promised in the House are
still in embryo, as that body, under the
control of the Democrats, has done alb
solutely nothing; not bill has been
passed, except to extend the time of the
sitting of the Alabama Claims Commits
sion. A perfect food of crude bills up
on the currency and other questions, in
most of which the photography is uncer-
tain. the meaning obscure. and the con-
struetion doubtful, have been introduced
. and referred. Every day the New York
World announces that the approximation
bills are nearly perfected, but none of
them have yet been reported. Mr.. Nor
7 rison, chairman of the Committee Of
: Ways and Means, is wrestling with the
