remoter corners of the State, and FASTENED 10
WASHINGTON TO be present at a conference for
the purpose Of trying to save the pieces. Dick
Thomson, booked for an extreme hard-money
and contractonist speech on the night follow
ing the Maine election, suddenly took the
other chute, and to the bewilderment OF his
New York and New England clients, the bond
holders. sounded a new and strange keynote
in Indiana. Now, if this detection had been
uniform and unanimous throughout the party,
its oracles could still have claimed the merit
of solidity; but while Sherman, Gorham. and
Dick Thompson were in the act of executing
this lofty somersault Hayes sent telegram
announcing that he still stood on the burning
deck, while Roscoe Conkling caused his news
paper organs to announce that he was about
TO make the hardest kind of a hard-money
speech. which should also be the greatest effort
of his life; in other words, that he would
stake his political future on an effort TO stem
the tide by which his former colleagues were
being swept away. A similar decentralization
is visible in the columns OF the Radical press;
the Western and Pennsylvania organs gener-
ally giving away along with Gorham, John
Sherman, Dick Thompson and McCrary and
the New York and New England papers stand
ing firm with Hayesa and Conkling. Such dis
ntegration, of course, means that the mana
gers feel themselves defeated, and il affects in
dividuas in proportion 10 their courage
Trimmers like Gorham, self-seekiIg towards
like John Sherman, and amiable nobodes like
Thompson and McCrary of course cry SduUe
gui pem and flee or surrender at discretion,
while stoid, passive mediocrilies like HAYES,
without an idea above the salary of the office
they hold, and trusting to luck for the future,
alike with pugnacious veterans of the old
guard, like Conkling stand their ground. 1t
does not appear from this plain, fnatter-of-fact
survey oe the situation, that The Radical par
ty has much margin to spare in the matter OF
disintegralion and Reorganization on account
Of the Greenback movement. There may be
Reorganization here and there in The Demo-
cratic party also but if one looks at the facts
calmly he will discover that the Democratic
party in one state only voluntarily disorgan-
lied itself 10 win, while the Republican party
is disorgauized against its will by defeat

THE NEW PARTY.

For the first time in the history Of political
parties in Maryland, Greenback candidates are
urged for congressional honors. This move
ment was inaugurated by the convention which
assembled at Hagerstown on the Goth instant.
After being rendered to and declined by two
Republicans, the mination was finally &C
cepted by q quasi Democrat Of Allegany
county. By some of our exchanges Mr. Res
ley is represented to be life long Democrat.
We know this to be false. On the contrary,
he has been identified with every political
organization that has fourished and faded in
this State during the last forty years. This
fact alone is sufficient TO cause all true Demo-
gratis to regard with suspicion both him and
tie movement with which he has last allied
himself. We exhort our friends TO take no
stock in it. 1t will surely prove an unprofta-
BILE and, perhaps, ruinous investment. Its
only hope Of success in the Sixth Congress
sional District lies in the imaginary disfec-
tion in our own ranks. The fifth day of next
November will dispell this delusion.
We have our abiding faith in the principles
OF the Democratic party, and in its ability and
determination TO remedy all the evils that have
affected the country during the last seventeen
years. IL has already addressed itself to the
task Of reforming Republicans abuses, and we
are confident that it will more effectuallv and
more speedily achieve this result than all the
other political agencies in the land combined,
Representatives of the Greenback party Of
the sixth district in convention on the goth
at Hagerstown, with John Henley, OF Allega-
NY in the chair, nominated Horace Resley, of
Allegany, by reclamation, after S. NJ. Schin-
del, man never before heard Of in this Sec
tion, and Isaac Hartshorn, of Montgomery,
were Withdrawn from the field. The follow
ing is a list of delegates:
Allegany-Dr. J. j. Wilson, john Hendley,
NJ. Murphy, aud W. Broiderick.
Frederick-Thos. E. Pope.
Garrett-Jno. e. Good.
Montgomery-W. e. Manakee, W. W.
Moore, W. J. Schofeld and Festus Griffith.
washington-N. Sehuer, Philip wingert
A. R. Reuner, J. s. Widmyer and Captain R.
McCay.
Neither the Garrett nor Frederick county
delegates were present, but sent letters and
credentials that were recognized by the COM
mittee. Mr.. Mannakee alone represented his
delegation, with power 10 cast their vote. The
Washington county delegation was on hand in
full force.
The following platform was adopted:
l. To the financial policy is due the coun-
try's distress.
O. The unjust and unequal relation between
capital and labor is stupendous fraud, and
needs investigation and demands redress.
3. The national creditor enjoys intolerable
immuniiies.
d. The denunciaton Of specie payment
which serves TO increase the wealth of the
wealthy.
5. The adjustment Of national banks and
substitution Of greenbacks Tor national bank
notes.
G. The payment OF the bonded debt of the
country in the same currency with which the
bonds were purchased.

THE MYSTERY OF SEVEN SKELETONS

A cave has been discovered on the farm
OF Mr.. Henry O'Brien, OF Lyon county, KY.
The cave is in the high bluffs that overlook
the Tennessee river. Mr.. O'Brien and his
n%eighbors explored it the other day, and
they were Mortified to find seven skeletons
tennnting the darkness. Judging from
their surroundings, and the fact that the
mouth Of the room in which they were
found had been almost entirely Distracted
by debris, which must have been MANY
years in accommodating, it is probable
that the bones are those Of some early
abongines Of the Ohio and Tennessee val.
leys. The appearance of two of the skele.
tons woul indicate hat q fearful tragedy
had been enacted in the gloomy recesscs Of
this subterranean cavern, for one Of them
lies across the other, and the bony fingers
Of both hands yet clutch the throat Of the
supposed victim. The walls of the room
In which the skeletons were discovered are
a smooth as II they had been finished with
. chisel. Outside Of the bones not q yes
tige Of anything that would indicnte thai
tho cave had ever been occupied by human
beings remains. -PadueaA Sun.
