making IA difference in the money that
the people are compelled to take and
in the money that the Government will
take. Money that is good enough for
the people is good enough for the
Government.-LebanOn PENN Courier

The silver men go into Mysteries of
agony over the greenback proposition,
but the greenback theory, mischievous
as it is, proposes Il fairer measure than
the silver delusiOn. Its success would
shock the country less, for business is
conducted on greenback and not on a
silver basis.-BdltimOre Gazette (Dem)
Perhaps it would be good thing for
Mr.. Tilden to go to Europe for short
time. We can spare him. The election
this Fall is not of great consequence,
except locally. We have 10 need of
'barrels full'' of money. We don't need
to buy up any more Cronins. By all
means let Mr.. Tilden go abroad.-Alba-
ny Express (Rep.)
The Administration should take its
ground Oh the silver and other ques-
tions upon general principles, and not
for the purpose of favorably influencing
certain States or certain localities. 1t
would be far better to suffer a defeat in
Ohio than to compromise one .jot of the
hard money ideas to which President
Hayes and his Cabinet are pledged
Boston Transcript (Rep.)
When the country sees all sections
once more at peace, an Administration
conducting the public affairs with wis
dom, economy, and purity, and its po-
litical enemies reduced to bewailing
their defeat through the just exercise of
constitutional methods which they
themselves made the law of the land,
surely the political situation must be
pronounced gratifying and full of en-
cOuragement.-BOStOn Journal (Rep.)
AS long as it is safe to calculate upon
Vermont as republican state, it will
be safe, for purposes of estimate, to put
the southern states on the democratic
side. Not that they are democratic be-
cause Vermont is republican, use the
comparison only as an illustration.
Men ask me !: 'How long do you think
the South will remain solid on national
issues p And | answer: GLOW long
do you think Vermont will be republi-
can 2" Nothing less than a breakup
that will cause Vermont to vote ticket
other than republican will influence the
South to go otherwise than democratic

If President Hayes hesitates at this
juncture, he is lost. All that the use of
patronage can do fol the party has been
done. That mode of salvation was full
ly tried under Grant, and it was not
successful. Four years more of it will
certainly destroy whatever of vitality
there was left in the organization.
What he said was that he would make
ga thorough, radical and complete" re-
form in it. He has as yet been only
three months in office, and he has done
a good deal in the time, but the mo-
ment has now come when the kind of
appointments he makes must indicate
the kind of system he means to intro
duce.-Ne,O York Nation (Ind)

He, like Mr.. Joseph Medill, came here
at the invitation of the President. Mr..
Hayes took Mr.. Jones out for a long
ride this afternoon. The President put
his arm affectiOnately around the pub
lisher's neck and talked to him for hours
Mr.. Jones has been making it little
lively for the administration in his news
paper lately, and the President wants
to have the Times little more gentle
and kindly in spirit. The effect of Mr..
JOnes's visit will be watched for with
interest in the columns of the paper.-

In the end, after the 'sOber second
thought" the country will adhere to its
resolution to treat the public creditor
with exact justice, and those who drop
into this new silver humbug will have
to sneak back defeated and with loss
of self-respect.-Hartford Post (Rep.)
