The explanation made by the South Car

The explanation made by the South Car
olina democrats regarding the use of the
small tissue tickets in the recent election
is that they we're prepared especially for
the negroes, who desired to vote the demo-
cratic ticket without being detected. They
do not explain. however, how two or
three thousand of these tickets were voted
ut precincts. when the total legitimate
vote did not exceed from five to seven
hundred.

Maine Republican Convention, said:
"When we had reached the point in
1864 Of $4OO, 0O0 600 legal-tender in cir

the danger of rapid depreciation was
such that we were on the road toward
the continental result of the revolution.
the Congress of the United States,
speaking for you and in your name,
speaking to its creditors on both CONT

your statute book, that the amount Of
legal tender notes issued and to be is
sued, should never exceed $500, O00 900,

only with standing on an absurd and WIS.,

the face of the experience Of all nations
in all centuries, but | charge him with
a still more serious and sti II more flagit-

with inviting you and me to violate
solemn and repeated and emphatic
pledge given by this nation IN articulo
morris, as We then feared, given with as
sacred will as the man who is drown
ing, to save himself from destruction
beneath the waves, should say, Save
me and Twill keep this pledge"
The United States in its hour Of per-

your treasure, we are in struggle for
and existence; we will give
you our bonds, and we pledge you on
the honor of this great Nation, speaking
with unanimity through both branches
Of Congress, all parties and all sections,
we pledge you we will so entirely pro-

MEXICAN and South American silver

MEXICAN and South American silver
dollars are taken in trade and at the
banks only at discount Of ten per cent.
or. ninety cents of their face, This is
on the presumption that, though of
greater weight and fneness, and there
fore Of intrinsically more value than the
United States coin, they are not legal
tender. This. it appears; is a mistake.
An exchange copies from Brightley's
Digest Of the Laws of the United States,
Vol. i, p l55, the following section Of
a law passed in June 1884:
1.-THE following silver coins shall be Of legal
value and shall pass current as money within
the United States. by tale for the payment OF
ali debts and demands of the rate OF 100 cents:

The above act has never been repeal
ed and the Mexican dollar, which weighs
three grains more than is required by
law, ard is a legal tender for all debts
and demasAs, should be at premium

by those opposed to committing it to
any candidate. and that there are only 4
or S on the delegation who are firmly. for
Cooley, Wilde more will probably vote
for him on the first ballot, The Ne,os

vote will exceed 8.

THE following paragraph from the
GAINESVILLE Star shows how the Con-
gressional contest in this district looks
to people outside:
1t is noqe of our special business, but
as Republican, and honestly believing
that the future prosperity Of the coun-
try depends upon the success of the
Republican party, we do trust and hope
the Republicans of the Sd district will
not nominate d. n, Cooley for Congress.
If they do nominate him, at this dis
lance, it looks like certain defeat for
the party in that district.

THE McGregor Ne,os protests against
certain figuring by the Dubuque Herald
on the Congressional contest; as grossly
unfair to Mr.. Donnan, and says;
1--WE consider Mr.. DOMAINS chances
better to-day than Mr.. Cooley's, and his
name will be before the Convention long
after Cooley's has been dropped. The
contest will he between Mr.. Donnan and
Mr.. Updegratf, and we predict that
there will not be long seige of ballot
ing, for as soon as Cooley withdraws
the contest will come to speedy end.

NJ V. CANNON, of Davenport, who is
the Democratic nominee for Clerk Of the
Supreme Court, seems to regard his
chances of election rather doubtful, and
is hedging by active efforts to secure the
nomination for District Attorney for
that judicial district. If successful, he
will be candidate for two Offices at the
same time. with not a particularly
brilliant prospect of being elected to
either.

period named.

Union Gazette to Nh. Freer, late of the

that such reports are without founda-

of Mr.. Talmadge from journalism as a
serious loss to the profession, one which
it could i'll afford at time when high

Inter Ocean.
The Inter- Ocean is one of the papers
that has been harping upon the alleged
fact that the Presidents policy had
wiped out every vestige of Republican
ism in South Carolina; that the party
in that State, disguised and discouraged
by the desertion of the Republican ad-
ministratiog, would never raise it's head
again, and other implacable twaddle of
like character. Now that the Republi-
cans have made an aggressive move up
on the enemy and gained decisive ad-
vantage, the Inter- Ocean, according to
its own manner of reasoning, must give
the praise to the hated policy.
