dollars OF money. The issue of greenback
notes, made legal-tender in payment OF pri-
Vate debts, stands, therefore, wholly and dis
tlnct from all banknotes, or other description
OF substitutes for money. The greenback
When presented, no matter whether it is
worth twenty, OR ninety or one hundred
cents on the dollar, is payment, absolute and
final. The acceptance of the national bank
note is optional.
In regard to one object which the Congress
Hall Convention had at heart it and the re-
sumptionists are as one. The Convention
called for the same money for the bondholder
and the laborer. That is the financial condi-
tion which the hard-money men are seeking
to reach, and which they have really attained.
They aim to make the greenback promise to
pay dollar equal to the gold dollar, so that
the laborer when he gets six dollars for his
work can purchase as much with it as the
capitalist can with the coupon he has just cut
from his government bond. And the hard
money men have so far succeeded that they
have brought the greenback promise for dol
lar within four cents of the gold dollar. I'm
less they are baked in their efforts by mis-
guided though wellmeaning men like those
who made up the Congress Hall Convention
they will accomplish their object, and accom-
plish it too by the agency of the very act for
the repeal of which the "curency reformers"
so Justify cry.

GEN. GARFIELD is the warm friend of
the President and the sincere and intelligent
advocate Of Civil service reform. Yet he
does not hesitate to say that in his opinion
the President has gone too far in his order
prohibiting citizens who may be officials
from taking part in primary meetings and
nominating conventions. He thinks that
right should uot be denied to any class.

The object of Mr.. Wiliams's existence Las
at last been made plain, and by the N. Y.
Tribune. That journal says: "A Republican
is rarely of much use after he turns Demo-
crat, but Mr.. Williams of Maine, is an excep-
ton. He has done the country great SER
vice in getting the Democratic party by the
ears on the fraud question, and has so demor-
allied the brethren in Maine that they will do
nothing but hit each other over the head dur
ing the rest of the canvass. 1t is an awful
warning to the party against nominating a
man OF sense for office.
