to be ashamed of yourself. Your at
+ tempts to protect your subordinates
in the legitimate performance of their
duties are incendary and sectional.
Out upon you.-National Republican,
BsS~ Where are those Democratic
statesmen that used to go around on
the campaign stump, and hold up in
one hand double eagle as a specimen
of the sound money of the people in
the good Democratic times, and in the
other a soiled greenback as n specimen
of the "rag money! which the Repub-
licans brought IMP Each one took a
turn ut this. Thurman was one of the
most contemptuous exhibitors of the
greenback ''rag." Where is Thurman
nowp He has made an image of rags,
and called upon all the Democrats to
bow down and worship it, Cincinnati
Gazette TRep.).
ReSH Ex-Governor Palmer, of Illinois,
thinks the Republican party has out
lived its usefulness, while the Demo-
cratic party has traditional political
system of opinions which will in the
end produce the best results. While
there are industries to foster, or liber-
ties to protect, the Republican party
will live; but as for the traditional
political SYSTEM of the Democratic
party, it has about as much stability as
weather-cock; both changes with
every breeze. -Phjiadelphid Press.
Bes~ A man spoke at National
Observation-Disclosures meeting the other
night not a thousand miles from Troy,
who never did an honest days labor in
his life; for years he let his wife work and
support him; large sum of money
which his associates in fire company
raised for the benefit of his family in
sickness, and handed to him to give to
them, was expended by him in disspa-
ton and debauchery; and entering the
army, he was forced to resign in dis
grace to save himself from being cash
tered for cowardice. 1t cannot be
possible that honest workmen will be
mislcd by such arrant humbugs as this
man, or even by such batherskites
as Kearney. Troy Times (Rep.).
Bay" 1t is becoming clearer every day
that the financial question is the ruling
issue in the coming campaign. There
are other important questions to be
solved, but just now the contest is to
be waged between honesty and dishon-
esty, between honor and dishonor, be-
tween resumption and reputation, be-
tween financial prosperity and financial
disaster. On this issue there are but
two parties. The Democratic party and
the National Greenback Labor party
are united in sentiment and action, and
they have inscribed upon their banners
Dishonesty, Dishonor and Reputation.
The Republican party alone stands by
the country in its honest endeavor to
honorably pay its honest debt in honest
mOney.-SyrdcuSe Journal.
Rsgn The Potter Committee has al
ready cost the taxpayers of this coun-
try twenty thousand dollars. The pur-
pose for which the money was expend-
ed is indicated by the fact that the
Democratic Congressional Committee
has prepared, and is sending out as a
campaign document, garbled report
of the evidence taken. This report
omits all the testimony which shows
Anderson to be liar, and it neglects
all the very interesting evidence which
proved that Tilden tried to bribe one
of the Louisiana Electors. The country
pays for the production of the rubbish
and for its transportation through the
mails, for all of it is franked by the
patriotic Democrats who are supplying
it to the party.-Phj!adelpbja Bulletin.

trade would have shown in consequence,
had Congress been sufficiently enlight-
ened to make a decently liberal appro-
priation for the exhibition of American
products at Paris. 1t was such an op-
portunity for advertising the merits of
American mechanics as only world S
fair affords, and it came at such a stage
IN the growth of our export trade as
would have made it dOubly valuable to
our depressed and struggling indus
tries. But when was Congress found
equal to the occasion. Buffalo ErpreSS
BzEn The Democrats, in and out of
Congress, favored the scheme of the
Commission. 1t is of no matter of con-
sequence now what Mr.. Marble or Mr..
Watterson thought of it. Their party
deliberately chose this method of settle
ment against the better Judgment of a
majority of Republicans. They lost,
and from that day to this they have
been whining and twaddling about 'sthe
fraud" just as though they had not
engineered and run the very machine
which they complain has hurt them. 1t
is high time that this childish nonsense
were stopped. Nobody cares what
Marble, Watterson, Tilden, or any of
their "coparceners'' thought then about
the various plans of settlement. We
do not know that they and their party
gambled and lost. They have been
whimpering ever since. N. Y. Times
RSy' A pretty hypercritical Southern
newspaper, the Savannah (Ga.) MeWS,
recalls the fact that Faneuil Hall, which
was once closed against Daniel Web
ster, is now opened to the ruflian
Kearney, asks: 'What is Boston COM
ing TOP" Boston is coming, or rather
has come, to just this: First, the COM
prehension that it is better to allow
freedom of speech even to such an
agitator as Kearney than it is to try to
suppress him and give him new influ-
ence as public martyr. Boston sees,
as any man of sense sees, that the man
only needs rhetorical rope to hang him
self. In the second place, Boston re-
cognizes that free speech in public
hall is a personal right not to be
abridged for opinions sake. Is this
the point on which the South cares to
go upon the recordPn-N Y EUeninq
