at is mistake to suppose that theinteS
ests of the bondholders and the taxpayers
arc antagonistic. The fact is overlooked
that in otder to make any saving by giving
the bondholder a debased or'worthlcss

WHO IS norATto SEYMOUR
He is tho foremost man in the Demo!
cratic party in tho United States. This is
not our assertion. 1t Is the assertion OF
Geo. II: Pcndleton, Of Ohio. We quote a9
follows from his letter written q few days
before Gov Seymour's'nomination for the
Presidency in 1865, viz, ohlthG 25thsoi
June OF that year: -els,liai p, ta,-,f
"Is il Mc foremost man IN our party IN he
United States. His ability, cultivation and
experience put him at lie head Of our aatls-
Man," 4JheTA fAXaoTTA
The texts then that We have quoted
above for Bon Wilson's consideration to-
night are from the acknowledged leader Of
the Democratic party of the United States.
This great Democratic Statesman declares
that "ourcreda is tain.ed' = tainted by the
position and speeches Of such candidates
as Col. Wilson and Mr.. Bassell and but
for this faint on it, says Gov. Seymour,
"Vt could borol0 money as Great Bfitdia
does, al three per cent and c,a dOra t1Edtioh."
Gov. Seymour declares, in substance,
that such men rs Col. Wilson are playing
the dcnagoguc before tho country, and
that they are seeking votes on an imprac-
tcablc basis of finance, unless, indeed,
we are ready for the day Of doom.ua For,
says the Governor land mark hisiyordss
"if your claims were all wiped out to-
morrow by an issue Of ogtcenbacRs, it
would not relieve the fear Of patriots;
labor could still Be cheated By tale dollars"
These are the words OF tho foremost
statesman in the Democratic party in the
United States. They arc worthy Of being
contrasted with the words OF Col. Wilson
