The Democrats of the First district
have nominated Robt. Taylor for Con-
gress. RObt. is Il brother of \. A. Tay-
lor, late Republican candidate for the
nomination. Robert is a young fellow
and Is said to be an excellent fiddler
and singing master. He has spent the
larger portion of his life in backing
himself and acting the negro in school
exhibitions. The reason the Demo-
Gratis chose him was because they
thought he would receive the support
of his Republican relatives. He is a
son of Rev. Nat. Taylor, who is a
Methodist preacher of considerable
note and a lifelong sOre-lead in the
Republican party. 1t is said that the
Rev. Nat. claims that he can make the
Methodists vote for son Bob. Had they
nominated Mcfarland he would have
made an excellent race.

EMERSON ETHERIDGR.
A special 10 the American dated
same day, says;
Emerson Etherldge was asked to-
day to name his reasons for declining
the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor. He said it was a sufficient rea-
o that the nomination was 80 wholly
unexpected as TO give him 10 time for
conference or elaboration. Being adj
vised that the convention desired M
immediate acceptance or %declination,
he thought il best TO act upon the Per-
sian model, that when you doubt it is
best to desist.
lie said also that if he believed his
acceptance would have contributed 10
the defeat of the Democratic party in
this State or elsewhere, he would not
have declined; that his private bust
ness was such as TO require his entire
attention, and he might well have pla-
ced his refusal to be a candidate upon
that ground alone, but he had never
permitted his private affairs TO restrain
him from attempting to perform II pub
lie duty.
At this time he believed the Demo-
cratic party Of the State could be an
tagonized with better prospects of de-
feat by presenting some other cardi-
date for Governor, but he declined to
name any one, or indicate the combi-
nation or circumstances which might
lead to such Il result"

The proposition to tax United States
bpnds originated when they bore six
per cent, interest, gold, and green
tacks were deprecated. With green
backs and coin practically equal, and
u r~efunding of six per cents into four
and four and a half per cents, the OBJ
ject is being reached indirectly. By
Pn~RstttHing n four for a six per cent.
hapd, the Government reduces the an
nual interest debt thirty-thrse per
cent. In a few years doubtless all the
bonds will be refunded in four per
SCENTS, and ultimately a lower rate will
hs reached. Whether anybody would
purchase a four per cent bond subject
70 taxation is question most people
can readily decide without the aid of
argument. Four per cent, less State,
county land municipal taxes, would
make tho bonds the least desirable of
inrcStntpts--a fact that is vital. 1t

chaSers If four and four and a half per

The Republican Party the only Real
G~reenback Party.

~
Greenback Party.
Mr.. Gorham, secretary of the Repub-
lican Congressional Committee, recent
ly said to a New York Tribune CORES
pondent:
The Greenbacker will not make
much Roadway, in view of the follow
ing facts:
First. The Republican party origi-
mated the ~greenback currency.
Second. The Democrats denounced
the legal tender act as unconstitutional
at the time of its passage.
The Democratic Supreme Court judi
ges decided the act unconstitutional,
the Republican Judges holding direct
ly 'opposite views. 1t is only a few
years since the Democratic press was
denouncing General Grant for packing
the Supreme Court of the United
States, as they said, OF the question.
Fourth-Mr- Fort, a Republican
member Of Congress, Introduced the
joint resolution to prohibit the further
retirement of g~reenbacks, which was
adopted by both Houses; and resump-
ton now only means that the holder of
a greenback can have the specie if he
prefers it after next January. The
greenbaCk so redeemed cannot be re-
tired or'canceled or destroyed, but, I'M
der the law, must continue to be a part
of the currency of the country. . This
puts an end to contraction. SO far
from being hostile to the Republican
party, the real greenback people
throughout the country will naturally
support the party which gave that cur
rency an existence.
Fifth-The Republican Senate voted
to make greenbacks receivable for Gus
toms dues; the House refused to cOrG,

BALKY HoRsEs.-I once heard of an
unfortunate gentleman who had become
insane, but was restored to sound health
simply by causing the mind to make
sudden revolution, which was done by
skillfully causing him to become jealous
of his wife, who was most excellent
lady and aware of the process. On this
hint we might learn to manage balky
horse. He is insane on the subject Of
going, that is self evident If we can
manage to make him think on some other
subject, he will naturally forget about
going. and 60 before he knows it. The
following devices have been successfully
tried to accomplish the desired end.
lst. Tying string around the horses
ears close to the head. I'd. Hltching
the horse to the singletree by means Of
cord instead of the tugs; the cord fas-
tened to the horses tail. Sd. Filling
the mouth with some disagreeable sub
stance. 4th. Tying stout Irvine around
the leg just below the knee, and then
remove it when he has travelled some
distance. Never whip a balky horse,
for the more he is whipped the crazier he
will become. Let everything be done
gently, for boisterous words only confuse
him and make him worse. Treat him il
the mild manner that you would a crazy
man and you will suceeed-Home and
