THE Racine Advocate, in comment
ing upon one of our articles on the
State SUPPLEMENTARY, advises its
readers to vote for Supt. Soaring, be-
cause he Is known to be opposed to
the Madison textbook ring, while
Pres. whitford. although called upon
to do so. has as yet not seen fit to de-
fine his position. True, the Milwau-
kee Sentinel states. seemingly by au-
thority, that Pres. WhitfOrd's oppo-
sition to the Madison textbook scheme
is as outspOken as that of Supt. Scar
ing; still, unless the public are adj
vised of it by a card over his own sig
nature, we incline TO the belief that
he will lose many votes throughout
the State. Dignifed silence Will hard
" be the winning card in this case.

The day before the Ohio election
gold was quoted at % cents premium.
The Democratic party came off vic
torious there and gold ran up prompt
ly to 81 cents. This is ''straw" af-
fectIng our national credit and very
desirable commodity. for the contem-
plation of those who have thought OF
aiding the Democrats of Wisconsin to
carry the State by voting the green
back ticket.

THE Speaker of the Democratic
House of Representatives was one of
the leaders in the celebrated Back
Pay business which fact has been
incidentally observed by few Re-
publican journals. Had the Republicans
control of the House and should put
forward as Speaker an illustrious
.back-payster" what howl of right
eous indignation would go up from
the opposition press!

The campaign in this State, has
brought out one important fact, which
it would be well for voters to consid-
er. While the ST. ices, from gov
ernor down, are ,5mocrats, the ad-
ministration has virtually been in the
hands of the Republicans, and we
have yet to hear the first word in
condemnation of the course pursued
by Gov. Luddington or the Legisla-
lures of the past two years. This be-
ing the case, upon what basis do our
Democratic friends urge the election
of their candidates, and the rejection of
the nominees of the Republican party!
A Republican administration has man
aged state affairs to the entire salts
faction of the people: can Demo-
cratic administration do more than
that Nay; is there not just a little
neutrality-suspicious. by precedent
that it may do iniinetlly worse

The greenback orators harp great
deal upon what they insist is con-
traction of the currency when thefact
of the business is that the currency
is no. being contracted, greater
amount of national bank notes having
been issued than greenbacks retired.
National bank notes have been object
ed to rs securing to holders of bank
stock exemption from taxation OF
funds deposited to secure their circul-
alton. when interest is received both ON
their bonds and the notes issued, APP
parenily showing. the receipt of a
double interest upon the same sum.
But bank stock is taxed. and when
we consider this tax, the cost of rent,
Insurance, salaries, collections, losses,
and other incidental expenses. 1t viii
be found that a good deal of this douo-
lie interest IS absorbed in the pay
ment of actual running expenses

The editor of the Prescott Plaindeal-
er let himself loose last week and vol
unteered a good deal of unsolicited adj
vice to the Greenback element of our
body polite. The Plaindealer, with
that Characteristic unseltishness for
winch Bro. Ives is noted, wants the
Greenbackers of Pierce county TO
throw aside their candidates, their
platform and their prejudiees, pitch
their tents with the Democrats and
vote the Democratic ticket. This de-
sire on the part Of the Plaindealer is
very natural and pardonable one, but
the expression of such an idea just af-
ter the Democratic party of this SEN
ate District had endorsed the Green
back nominee for State Senator will
sound little original to the manag-
ers of the Greenback caucuses. In
stead of asking the Greenbackers to
throw aside their candidates, platform,
etc., and inviting them to tent with
the Democrats, it would be more in
accordance with the ''eternal fitness
of things for our Prescott cotempo-
rary to hesitatingly inquire if the
Democrats might move in with the
Greenback people and there abide TIL
the storm Is over. The aggressive
Greenback people having held their
conventions. nominated their cands
dates and adopted their platform
while the Democratic fuglers were
waiting, Macawber like. for some
thing to turn up. it looks like grand
display Of s.cheek' for any one to ask
them to throw aside their work and
follow the lead Of few played out
Democratic politicians.

GEN. CARY, the great Greenback ora
Gle, appeals to the Ignorance and pas
sIons of his hearers to induce them to
vote against the Republican party. In
his recent Racine speech he stated
that there were now in the United
States 1000, 600 able-bodied men seek
ing work who could not find it; 3,000,-
600 more working on short time with
pay barely sufficient to keep soul and
body together, and 100000 who are
so poor that if thrown out of employ
ment for thirty days they would be at
the door of starvation. And all this
is charged by him to financial legisla-
ton. Such statement is well calcu-
lated to prejudice an audience before
whom it is made against the party in
power, if not refuted. But Cary's
doleful tale of SO many able-bodIed
men being so hard up is largely over
drawn, the latest census showing that
there are but about 100000 able
bodied men in the United States, three
fourths of whom we may safely say
are engaged in agricultural pursuits
and the many trades and professions,
on their own account. Most. of the
other one-fourth have comfortable
homes and steady employment at fair
wages, so it will be seen that Mr.. Cary
willfully misrepresents the facts for
political effect, or exhibits a shameful
ignorance of the details of the SUBJ
ject upo:. which he treats, and in eth
er case forfeits the confidence and re-
spect of the public.

that had the Democrats of the Forty

are now INDUCING would have been
avoided, and consequently the extra ex-
pense attending the same.

MANY of our readers are Democrats
who believe that the government is in
duty bound to meet its obligations
honestly and according TO agreement.
They are not carried away with those
windy orators who cry for more
greenbacks, or who counsel dishonest
practices on the part of the govern
ment. Which one of the five tickets,
now in the field, are they going to
vote In Minnesota, the Democrats
Endorsed the nominee of the green
back party for governor. In this
State, while the same occurrence did
not take place, the Democrats have
nominated a man who cOnfessedly
stands at the head of the greenback
movement, and for whom all Demo
cratic greenbackers will cheerfully
cast their ballots. In their nomina-
tiOns for the Senate and the Assembly,
the Democrats and the greenbackers
are joining hands the former gener-
ally endorsing the nominees of the
latter; as is the case in this senatorial
district. Can these Democrats who
still adhere to the Jaeksonian doctrine
ofhard money ,countenance these things
and continue to vote with a party
whose only issue to-day is the very OPP
pusite of that which it advocated for
l.. l.. TO- a1xrf-
ing; but we do hope that our Demo-
cratic readers will reflect upon these
things. and then cast their votes for
the only gubernatorial candidate be-
fore the people of Wisconsin who is in
favor of honesty on the part of the
general government-Wm. E. Smith.
