The senatorial contest in Ohio is

The silver Bib 10 be Vetoed.

The silver Bib 10 be Vetoed.
We interpreted President Hayes
message to say that he would veto
any bill which really remonetized
silver, and the following Washing
ton telegram of the 9Th, only con-
firms our opinion:
At the Cabinet meeting yesterday
the President brought mp the silver
question. The Presidents idea was
TO get up some sort of q bill upon
which all opponents of the Bland
bill, and some of the moderate sup
porters of it could be united. Tie
subject was discussed by each one
present, and each member had diff
| ferent views, which fact prevented
the agreement upon any measure to
be u sed in the Senate as q substitute
| for the Bland bill. It was agreed,
however, that If the Bland bill pass
ed, il should be vetoed.
A veto, however, is not so object
ionable as some sort of bill, as the
telegram says, which, while osten-
siblY remonetizing silver, will real
ly keep it demonetized for all prac'
teal purposes, and at the same time
muddle and perplex the people sc
that they cannot daw q line upoI
that issue. 1t is by being hood
winked and divided into factions
that they are swindled out of their
rights and prosperity, and finally
| OuC of their liberties.

Daniel Websters OpIn1On.

By a law passed in 1916, debts
owing to the United States were
made payable ain the legal currency
of the United States, or treasury
notes, or notes of the Bank of the
United States, or notes of the banks
which are payable and paid on de-
mand in the said legal currency of
the United States" In July, 1886,
while this law was still in full force,
the Secretary of the Treasury ander
President Jackson issued the famous
"specie circular" iDstructing the Off
GERS of The United States to receive
in payment for the public lands
nothing but gold and silver Those
were the days when the Democra-
cy was emphaticslly hard money
party. Mr.. Webster made a speech
in the Senate in favor of resembling
that order. his argument, in brief,
was that by law the debtor had
four different mediums of payment,
and that it was has right and not the
creditors to make the choice as to
which of them should be used. He
said:
"The law was Intended to provide,
and does provide in what sort of
money or other means of payment
tn pee who owe debts to the govern
ment shall pay those debts. 1t emu
merates four kinds of money or 9TH
er means Of payment: and can any
thing be palmer than that he who
has to pay may have his choice out
of all four. AL being equally law
full, the choice is with the payer, and
not the receiver. This would seem
too plain either to be argued or de-
MED. Other laws of the United
States have made both gold and sill
YER coin 8 tender in the payment of
private dsbts. Did any man ever
imagine that in that case the choice
between the coin to be rendered was
to lie with the party receiVing1 No
one could ever be guilty of such an
absurdity."
Daniel was evidently unable to see
ahead one generation, or he would
have seen the administration and a
large portion of the people of the
United States advocating and en-
forcing just such an absurdity as he
describes.

Another So. Louis Ring Falls.

Another st. Louis A1RK Fails.
st. Louis Sc ems to be the ''head
center" for the ring business, and
for stealing from Uncle Sam. No
sooner had uncle Billy Mckee, the
great moralist of the Globe-Demo-
crat, and his associates, got out OF
Jail, than President Hayes knocks
another fraud on the skull. On the
3lst ult. he ordered the peremtOry
suspension of the royal fraud,
Walsh, superintendent of the st.
Louis custom-house building. This
is the frat step toward the over
throw of q ring which has made a
long and desperate fight to keep out
of the bands of the law, and to pre-
vent hostile action on the part OF
the authorities at st. Louis. When
the present District Attorney took
hold of the matter, and procured
indictments against Walsh, the lat
ter was able to enlist nearly all the
official influences of st. Louie, and
nearly all the press of that city, in
his favor, and his friends boldly
claimed that Walsh could easily
beat the District Attorney, and that
he could make no progress in the
st. Louis courts, or with the author
tiles here. His continuance in of
fee after his indictment by the de-
par tment is very singular affair.
and will be difficult to explain. The
moment the President heard the
facts in the case, he gave prompt
order for suspension. This action
is equivalent on the part of the
President to a declaration that the
government will hereafter stand
strongly by its District Attorney in
the attempt he is making to bring 6
powerful ring to punishment.

regard to the position OF the Presi-
dent, announcing that he is to 90
over to the Democratic party, and
that the Democratic Senators haye
agreed to sustain him, and so on, is
the merest sensational nonsense.
The Republican opponents of Hayes

this stuff. While we think the
