A brisk fight between two boys

Washington Star interview.
"Do you think the result of the
elections kills what is known as the
'Ohio Idea in finance 2"
II do not regard the elections as
killing that idea, exactly. 1t will
die out as times improve, and H.
nally pass away"
Are the prospects" !" Of your party
in the remaining fall elections
good ?"
every good, indeed there is no
doubt about that. There is not
the slightest foundation for a Re
publican to hope that his party will
control the next House."
"Will the Democrats elect the
next President ?''
1--WE have every prospect of doing
so. We are now in better position
than we held at the last Presiden-
tial election, and then we elected
our candidate. The Democrats will
be the dominant party in 1881 in
the Executive as well as the Legisla-
tive branch of the Government"
''Do you think the financial ques-
tiOn will enter into the Presidential
campaign ?"
81 do not. That issue will grad
ually drop out of politics. Before
the Presidential campaign is fairly
opened the financial question will
have virtually settled itself"
"What do you mean by will have
virtually settled itself, Senator?"
"NOw that the silver dollar has
been restored to its place in our cur
rency, the resumption of specie pay
ments will not produce the shock
that many expected it would. We
may look for next spring to open a
fair degree of improvement in the
commerce and business of the
country"
"There will, then, be no attempt
at the next session to repeal the re-
sumption act?"
"There may be an attempt to re-
peal it. / have no idea, however,
that it will be repealed. The House |
should pass the bill passed by the |
Senate providing for receiving legal
tender notes for four per cent. bonds. |
The bill making legal-tender notes
receivable for custom entries should |
also pass. Then, with silver coin |
as well as gold coin to redeem it,
there can't be any great run on the |
Treasury. Legal-tender notes will |
be of equal value with gold, and |
there will be little inclination to |
present them mforredemption. Again,
a law passed at the last session pre- /
vents the retirement of greenhack |
currency These cauSeS will give /
our currency y reasonable degree of
stability, and the resumption of
specie payments will not be follow
ed by the evils which many think
it will"
r "Have you payed much attention
to the cipher kilograms published
in the Tribune ?"
"No / have not. / have simply
glanced over them. ! do not think
they will have any effect on the
fortunes of the Democratic party.
They may hurt Mr.. Tilden, unless
he explains them satisfactorily. The
question is, however, not who tried
to buy the Presidency, but for which
party was the majority of votes
cast in the Presidential elections.
There are no two minds in this
country on that point, that the
Democrats carried the election"
"Will the National Greenback
element hold the balance of power
in the next House @'
"They will not. The Democrat
are going to hold that body by a
good working majority"

everything else was given away
this time. The complexion of af-
fairs.changed within the past four
weeks; but the change came too
late. The party found it was fight

into rank for sound money and bus

avail then. Had there been thirty
days more of discussion and of con-

told a different story. But, as it is,

Senator Thurman on the Ohio
Election.

Election.
In an interview with the COlum-
bus correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, Senator Thurman said:
/ hoped for better result, but
was prepared for q worse one. This
is the first year in which the issue
between the people and the Nation
al Banks was sharply defined, and
put all the other issues almost out of
sight. Instead of being weakened
by our PLATFORM mean the plat
form Of our last State Convention
we were greatly strengthened by it.
Had we faItered on this question we
would have been beaten far worse.
But why talk about being beaten ?
Add the vote of the Nationals to
that of the Democrats, and is not
the Republican or National Bank
party in a minority of thousands in
the State? Yes, tens of thousands.
and then remember how the Re
publican candidates and orators
lodged and prevaricated. Remem-
ber how Mr.. Secretary Sherman
announced that he was in favor of
keeping in circulation $500, ,000, 900
of greenbacks, or at least as many
as could be kept at par with COMA
declaration that has brought upon
his head the seVereSt denunciations
of the bank advocates in the East.
Look at the speech Of Mr.. Foster at
Springfield. | have no copy of it
but, if my memory is not at fault,
he declared himself in favor of
keeping in circulation all the green
backs now Outstapding-S346, ,000,-
600, Why, sir, tell you that the
Republican candidates and orators,
with some exceptions, did all they
could to dodge the issue. But the
National Banks were not deceived. |
They knew they were in a life and
death struggle, and they fought for
self-preservation. They and the
hundred thousand Federal office
holders supplied the sinews of war
to the Republican committees, and
the consequence was that never be-
fore in Ohio was there so corrupt a
use of money in an election. 1t is a
square fight between the people
and the bBnks, and every days dis
cussiOn will make it more and more
plain that we have the right side of
the question. Over two thousand
national banks, welding $500, ,OOO,- /
600 Of capital, over $500, 900, 900 of
currency and 800, 600 or $780,
100000 of deposits, and supported
by great political party in power,
and using the immense patronage of
the Government to retain its do
miniOn, is formidable foe to at
tack, but the attack will, neverthe-
less, in the end prove successful,

A New Oepartufe.

The new management of the Denver
News says: SIN assuming entire in
stead Of partial control of the columns
and business of the News, the new
managers will make no parade of their
purposes beyond a few simple announce
ments. First, there will be no change
in the politice Of the paper. Secondly,
we have bought the good will alone and
not the quarrels of the paper. We do
not enter at all into the question wheth-
er it has been right OF wrong in regard
to its differences, and above all we do
not wish to reflect upon Mr.. Byers,
from whom we part company with I'M
feigned regret. But we do say that
wrangling is an improbable business
for a newspaper, and henceforth it will
be eschewed at much as possible by us,
though in making this statement we do
not wish to be understood rs resigning
the right to repel attacks upon our
selves or on our paper. Finally, it
modestly aspires to be a paper for the
whole state, and not for the north or
south or for Denver alone. Our ambi-
ton is to overcome every prejudice
against the paper in every portion of
Colorado, and to increase its wide.

The City Council met last night and
all the members were present, except
Hubbard, Granger, Marks and Reed.
A petition from ]. Ringolsky was
read, setting forth that he had the only
licensed place in the city for the carry
ing on of the pawnbroking business,
and prayed that all parties having the
sign of such business, be required to
take them down. The petition was
laid on the table.
The report of the City Attorney was
then read in relation to the cancelling
of Hellawell & H~ershfeld's license as
pawnbrokers. Mr.. Potter in his report
stated that the only information on
which he bases his opinion, was OBJ
tanned from Mr.. Hershheld, to the
effect, he vas no longer conducting the
pawnbrokers business. He therefore
gave it as his opinion that Mr.. Hers
field was not subject to the pawn
brokers license. The report was adopt
ed and the license ordered cancelled.
Several bills were presented for con-
sideration. Allowed, and warrants or
dered drawn for the amounts.
The report of the committee on fire
alarm was called for, but not being
prepared, an extension of time was
given.
Morris Appel was granted permission
to address the council in behalf of the
Pioneer Hook and Ladder Company.
He stated that water was needed very
mvch at the company's room for filling
the Babcock engines, and that it would
cost only a trife to tap the main water
pipe. The matter was referred to the
committee on fire department.
The reading Of the section of an or.
dinance prohibiting the keeping of
houses of i'll fame, wa called for and
read. Much feeling seemed to manifest
itself against the practice Of filming
prostitutes every few months. Accord.
ingly, a motion was made to abolish the
old osdinance relating thereto, and il
was lost, by a vote of three to two. AL
the members of the Council expressed
themselves as opposed to the present
form of ordinance, but were unwilling
to repeal it until some new ordinance
was provided. Adjourned.

OUR SALT LAKE LETTER.
Utah Mines Railroad Matters-The Ierr,.
.ory's Progress lmpeded by
Mormonisn,
SALT LAKE, May &, 1878.

To the Editor of The Leader:
Southern Utah bids fair to develop,
in the near future, silver mines which
shall as largely exceed the bonanzas of
Nevada as these latter exceed anything
heretofore worked. The San Francisco
district, which lies about two hundred
miles south of this city, is apparently n
solid mountain of silver. 1t was dis
covered about two years ago by three
young men who came out here entirely
empty-handed from the east. They
struck out to hunt a mine and they
found one, which contains fabulous
wealth. They were offered five mil.
lions for their mine at once, but what
are five, when there are probably more
than a hundred millions easily obtain
ablep From nothing to a money-mil-
lionaire is a pretty big jump, but the
boys bear their honors easy and go
about their work as systematically and
methodically as though there were no
fortune in sight, and everything yet to
win.
The Utah Southern railroad extends
south from Salt Lake City seyenty-hve
miles, and to this terminus all bullion
from the southern part of the territory
has to be hauled. 1t is now proposed
to build a narrow gauge road from the
terminus to the new silver district, and
as parties interested in the mines are
moving in the matter, it will probably
soon be built. Surveys are now being
made for the line, and even the Nor
nous are beginning to wake up to the
fact that there is enormous wealth ly-
ing about here under their noses, which
the Gentiles are liable to get away with
unless they bestir themselves. Bishop
Sharp, therefore, proposes to build this
extension and get the carrying of the
bullion.
The facts are that this territory would
long since have taken rank as one Of
the great silver-producing districts of
the world, except for the baleful influ-
ence of the Mormon church. This in
iuence is weakening every day, under
the pressure of Gentle enterprise, and
is bound to be entirely neutralized be-
fore many years elapse.
The Mormon people are in the habit
Of pointing to their settlement of this
territory and what they have accom-
plished as something wonderful. But
the facts are that they have prevented
the development of the resources of the
country far more than they have n
couraged this work. California and
Nevada, settled after Utah, have Tar
outstripped her, and are to-day impor-
tant states in the Union. Utah has
doubtless as much mineral wealth as
either of them, but it has remained I'M
developed because the policy of the
church was to keep out everybody not
in sympathy with its peculiar institu-
tions. This position the church is no
longer able to hold, and progress will
be much more rapid in the future.
