Crasyl Or MAa.7

Three or four of the Nationalist can
yasscrs appeared before an audience
at the Cartwright school house the
other night. After one Fiatlst haa
sounded his windy, irredecmablc ba-
700, he was followed by two speakers.
oue of whom declared that he was "in
favor Of funding the national debt in
bonds bearing minimum rate OF III
terest.- The other speaker said he
was for the largest possible volume OF
rreenbaeks based upon and equal IN
value 10 gold aud silver" AS every
intelligent man knows that these sen
timcnts embody two of the principal
blanks of the Republican platform
and that that is the very idea that the
Fiatists are iightipg-thc sum total OF
their entire gospel, what means such
talk? Are these speakers thea so de-
nlorably ignorant of the fundamental
principles of the great national party
or are they PLAYING the demagogne III
trying to deceive the people as to the
real intent of the Fiat party that there
by they may gain few vo.ess III the
latter. then such a course is disrepu-
tablc-right-down dishonesty. Ma
tional fiat money means national repn-
diatiou and national dishonor, only
that the few. in the crush OF fortunes
aud the wreck of finances, may steal
themselves out of honest debt.

Hon. &. P. Thompson.

The EAGLE last week furnished its
readers with list of the names of the
nominees of the Fiat Convention.
Among the number was the name OF
one at least who has always proved u
consistent Republican,-thc Hon .E.P.
Thompson. The Monday following
the convention we denied to num-
Der OF gentlemen the possibility OF
Mr.. Thompson's acceptance, but some
one spoke .up-we disremember who
now-with the assertion that he saw
Mr.. T.. at the convention. The day
after the issue of the EAGLE his pres
encc was denied. Friday We drove
out to his home, but he was absent ;
but on Saturday we learned that Mr..
Thompson was not present at the con
vention, aud knew nothing of its pro-
ceedings. If that is the case we are
very glad and, as far as he is con-
cerned, take back our farewell"
How q man of his experience could
adopt the Fiat craze, was beyond our
comprehension, and we expect he will
repudiate the whole thing, at least
hope SO.
P.S. This, Wedncs. morning we
are in receipt of letter from Mr..
Thompson, in which he not only re-
pudIates the action of the Fiat Con-
vention, but gives the editor OF the
EAGLE a terrible scoring for his
farewell" article. Dc are so glad
to know that we were not deceived
in our former high cstimati0n.o OF Mr..

he was transferred TO Charleston, and

only nineteen were living at the time
