THE Chicago Evening Journal says that
Captain Thomas was a soldier in the war
OF course he was. And no man ever strad
died charger, from QuiSotc down to Lo.
gan, who looks more the soldier than the
captain. Nor does he deceive his looks.
The poor man is human seive--a pcrior-
ated anatomy-the work of bullets sent out
on their deadly errands by the wicked
shooters of the unholy rebellion. We have
no doubt in the world that if glass was
scarce at Metropolis on Monday last, the
captain was used by the curious of his
party to view the eclipse through. Being
full of holes gives him an advantage over
Judge Allen on the occasion of an eclipse,
but as this occurs only once in very great
while the advantage will not be hard to
overcome

THE Irish element as a political factor,
is assuming Importance in the eyes Of men
anxious to serve their country in the halls
of congress. Carter Harrison, in a recent
declaration at Chicago, said he intended to
marry his son to an Irish girl This is
the kind of chatf that is dealt out to Irish
voters. Every Irishman who has spark of
manliness in his composition should mark
demagogues of this stripe for slaughter at
the ballot-box, no matter what political
creed they may profess.

have gone in this county they have drawn
from the Democrats, although we believe
their descrtion to be Of only a temporary
nature. Judge Alleniss goodenough Green
hacker for any sensible man. A few of
his speeches will awaken the recre-
ant to realization of their position, and
reflection will bring them back 10 their first
love. In Union the Grcenbackers have no
strength worth mentioning, and the organ
zation of Democrats there leaves little for
the Greenbackers to hope for from that
source From jackson our information is
mixed. There can be no doubt that they are
well organized in that county, and if an cleo
ton were TO be held tomorrow would poll
large vote. The Grccnbackers themselves
are divided in opinion as 10 which of the
two old parties will be affected most, but the
best opinion puts the detection about equal
from the old organizations, with chances
against the Republicans. Whatever strength
they may hav. in Randolph county is derived
from the Republicans. In Perry they are
strong, and the Republicans furnish five ont
of every six of their members. In William
son the Republicans will suffer by the
movement, as they also will in Pulaski.
II will be seen from this statement that the
Greenbackers have their greatest strength
in Republican strongholds and are weakest
where the Democrats are strongest. And
this is the history Of the Greenback move
ment in every Western state. 1t has never
yet failed to help the Democrats. The
reason for this is plain enough.
Thoughtful men with Greenback pro-
clivities find the Democratic party COM
mitted to every wholesome measure of re-
form in that direction, and with Democratic
success it is possible to give effect to their
ideas of financial relief. Republican,, of
the greenback persuasion can find nothing
to rest upon in their party. They find it,
on the contrary, committed by its acts in
congress and the declarations of its organs
and public men to the monied interests of
the country. A Greepback Republican
therefore when he leaves his party on this is
sue leaves it forever. There is no hope of
return. The differences which were at the
bottom of his disatfcction have gone on
growing until himself and his old party have
become as the poles in belief on financial
matters. This is the true explanation of
why the Greenback movement has benefit
ted the Democratic and injured the Repub-
lican party. We reiterate that the close of
the polls in November next will show that
Davis has beaten Thomas, and that Allen
has beaten both by handsome majority.

gathering, sailed in the Bothnia. Before the
vessel left, Mr. Fenton being asked what
action the American Commission would
take, said he could not undertake to say.
His views might be greatly changed after
hearing the arguments and addresses of
representatives from other nations, As the
matter stood he was in favor of bi-mctallic
currency. England, he said, would send
delegates, but they would he thought, take
no part in the proceedings, assuming the
same position they took at the Paris Confer
ence in lS67-that of spectators merely.
Germany will not send delegates.

1t is his nature, and We cannot find it in our

the thought that by November next the
captain will be thoroughly cooled down and
his ardent nature can be set away in safety
