playing dead.

THE argus reminds us that the Maine
Republicans in their platform use the word
"coin'', instead of the word "gold'', as did
Secretary Sherman in his Mansfield speech.
That is true, but in Maine the only meaning
attached by Republicans to the word "coin"
as used in the public acts is gold. So well is
this understood that no one thinks of eues-
tioning their position. They hold that coin
means gold, and they will not even by impi-
cation, recognize the possibility of any other
definition. In Ohio the case is far different,
for the Interpretation of the word "coin" is
the very question at dispute. Many Repub-
licans there, probably the majority, hold that
"co:n" as used 10 the declara lion of 1869
means gold or siloer. The position of the
Secretary of the Treasury on the question is
a matter of great public Importance. But by
his constant use OF the word "coin' he eyi-
dently intended to avoid committing himself,
though in saying SIN 1869 Congress pledged
the public faith that the United States would
pay gold or silver dollars for United States
notes" he gave color to the belief that he
sympathizes with the prevailing sentiment of
his state. There can be no misgiviDg in re-
gard to the use of the word by Maine Repub-
licans, for by repeated acts and utterances
they have made it clear that they mean gold.
There is misgiving in regard to the use of the
word by Secretary Sherman, for no man
knows whether he means silver or gold.
When Mr.. Moody, the evangelist declares his
belief in God, we all. know what he means,
and no definition is required. When Mr..
Emerson declares his belief in God, none of
us know what he means until he defines the
word.

PRINCE ToHERKAssI, the Russian ''organ-
izer' of Poland, and who now has similar
commission in Bulgaria, although the
vicissitudes of war have given him but very
little to do thus far, is said by the PaU-Mall
Budget to be man of about so, and very
quick, intelligent, and plausible. When he
was recalled from Poland, he took part in
the famous Sclavonic Congress az Moscow.
The Budget says "He is Slavophill with
Tartar instincts, but with all the outward
polish of Frenchman." As an instance of
his shrewdness, il. is said he is the only land
owner in Russia who lost nothing by the
emancipation of the serfs. 1t appears that
he obtained early intelligence of the proposed
action of the Emperor. which was kept a
secret for fear that the landowners might
oppose it, and emancipated his serfs before
the ukase was issued, making them pay a
good price for their liberty; then suddenly
appeared as an ardent advocate of emanci-
patton.

The Democratic Design.

The wisest of the Democratic leaders have
never believed in the possibility of carrying
the state of Maine in this campaign, and to
their way of thinking the most sanguine even
of their followers have come. 1t has become
evident that Republicans will not let differ
ences in their own ranks inure to the benefit
of the common enemy. Whatever quarrel.
ing the Republican party of Maine has to do
1t proposes to do in caucus and convention
and not at the polls. There it will present a
united front. Still the Democratic leaders in
their public utterances pretend to have great
confidence in success, hoping thus to stimu-
late their followers to great exertions. Their
boasts however are so extravagant that they
awaken ridicule instead of enthusiasm, and
that very frank journal, the Bangor CONNER.
ciat, (which is, by the way, anything but
pleased with the Democratic platform aud
candldate) openly makes fun of their predic-
tions.
But the Democrats, though they have
given up all hopes of carrying the state, do
have hopes of capturing some counties aud
some legislative districts this fall. To this
end their ablest efforts are directed. Taking
advantage of the indifference so prevalent in
the Republican ranks ia an off year they in
tend to poll their full vote and so win ma
jorlty in sections really hostile to them.
While there is not county in the state that
the Republicans cannot carry in sharp con-
test, there are few counties which can
easily be lost through neglect or indifference.
Republicans in all sections of the state will
take the wiser and safer course by turning
out in full strength on election day, distrust
ing all appearance of lethargy on the part Of
their opponents. The "possum game" is an
old and favorite one with the Democracy,
and that party is most dangerous when it is
playing dead.

GENERAL HAwLEY, who served on the
Centennial Commission with Colonel HoIi-
day, the Democratic candidate for Governor
of Virginia, describes him as person who
"made most favorable impression upon his
associates of the commission" and as
gentleman of fine presence and address,
fine abilities and high character" But Mr..
Redfeld in a letter from Virginia to the
Cincinnati Commercial, while not taking
issue with General Hawley, says that "LIke

IT is bad enough that the Georgia Con-
vention should adopt the policy of repudia-
tion. But it is still worse that some of the
leading Democratic papers in the North
should sustain this shameful action. In the
one case there is, not the extenuation, but
the explanation of a supposed but mistaken
self-interest. In the other case there seems
to be little motive but pure cussedness.

1t is doably dishonorable for those who have
thus profted by the loan to repudia.e it.
