This national party movement at the West
is good deal like the measles, in that when
people have it the second time it is very
much lighter than at first. There was quite
strong national movement in Ohio last fall,
but this spring it has pretty much petered
out, while in Michigan, where it appears
now for the first time it is all the rage and is
swamping both the old parties. At Cincinnati
where the nationals polled over fifth of the
governor votes last fall, they did not even
nominate ticket for last MONDAYS election,
and at Toledo, where the new national par
ty was lately born and christened with a
great flourish of trumpets, the nationals were
badly beaten. The national ardor in Michi-
gan will doubtless, in like manner cool off
notably between this time and the fall elec-
tions, and the voters will then square them
selves for another trial of the old contest be-
tween Republicanism and Democracy. The
national party's platform is SO destructive
and villainous tLat few meu are depraved
enough to support it more than once.-

The Indianapolis Journal notices fresh
zeal and activity among the Republicans of
Indiana and predicts Republican victory on
the state ticket and in the choice of the Leg
islature at the October election.
We can hardly doubt that some trick will
be tried to defeat the plans of Secretary Sher-
man. 1t Is noble opportunity for the Re-

solid organization, and give the quieting
stroke to the restless agitators from whose
self1shn"ss the country has suffered so long.

There is growing disposition here to do
nothing more in currency matters, but let
Secretary Sherman work out bis problem in
his own way. The wiser men of both par
ties begin to hope that the currency question

THE full text of the Blaine amendment to
the Pacific Railroad Funding Bill has never
been correctly telegraphed from Washington.
1t is as follows:
but so long as said Central Pacific and
Union Pacific Railroad Compa1 1ies shall faith
fully comDly with the provisions of the said
acts OF 1862 and 1864 and of this act relating to
payments to the United States on account of
the bonds advanced. and of the sIrking funds
to be established as aforesaid, such comliance
shall be deemed and taken as sufficient to
meet the obligations of said companies on ac-
count of such bonds prior to the maturity there
OF: ProUided That the annual payments from
each railroad company, 10 addition to the
balf.transportation account and the 8 Der cent
OF net earnings presently applicable to the in.
terest aud the bonds shall never be less than
$6O0.000 including the other half of the trsns-
portation account applicable to the sinking
fund herein established; and that nothing in
this act shall be construed to waive any claim
of the United States against either of said rail
road com panies, from whatever source arising"
1ntimations are abundant in many quarters
Just now that the Republicans who voted
against the Amendment made mistake. As
the Bill now stands if it becomes law it will
enable the Democrats to use the Pacific Roads
for partisan ends at any time they may find
it their interest to do so. Was such the de.
sign?
