name, and the only barn belonging thereto was
built of poles and covered with straw. 80 says

Among Kentuekians, Ten Brock is,
Of course, the favorite. 1t would be

SENATOR THURMAN expresses, IN an
interview with a correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Erquirer, the utmost CONN
dence in the complete success of the
Ohio Democrats in the fall elections.
Mr.. Thurman expects to take an active
and. Of course, q prominent part in the
campaign, a fact which, in view of his
Bill Allen apathy one upon a time, is a
source Of cen~gratulatiOn to the Demo
cratic party of Ohio. Mr.. Thurmaa in
dorsss the platform of the Ohio Democ
racy, and, in speaking Of the greenbaek
question, says;
II see no good reason why the people
should pay the banks more than S2O,'
100000 q year for the use Of bank notes
when their place can be supplied by
greenbacks, and that money be saved.
The great objection made to a green
back paper currency is that its volume
will depend upon the action OF congress,
and may be subject to great fluctuations
ewing to improvident legislation. Bat
our platform insists upon giving it sta
bility, and if that can be done the ohjsc'
ton loses its force. Now, it congress
should be so disposed, it can produce the
evil apprehended, no matter whether we
have gresabaeks or bank notes. For in
stance, it might repeal the tax on ban
notes. the effect Of which would be that
a multitude Of banks would spring up in
every State and Territory, and great IN
aation would take place. Or, on the
other hand, it might retire greenbaeks
and compel the National banks to retire,
in whole or in part their circulation, and
thus produce great contraction. 80 you
see that. whatever may be eur paper
money, it is 10 the power OF congress
to contract or to initiate it. In a word, II
congress has neither sense nor honesty
/. NAV ruin the country. But to assume
that "a 10 condemn our form of govern
ment Great care and wisdom will I'M.
dopbtedly be required on the part OF
congress in dealing with this subject, but
the task is not a hopeless one But while
these are my opinions, | am not for os-
tracisipg Democrats who entertain dit
ferent opinions For instance, some OF
the best Democrats in the country dlsbe-
lieve in the constitutionality OF making
greenbacks legal tender. There are
some Democratic senators from the East
who ore of that opinion. Well, am not
for ostrseising them because upon one
point they think one way and | may
think another, when in sl other particu-
lars that concern the party we stand to-
geIher. The Democratic party OF the
Union must be preserved, aud to do SO
there must be a spirit Of mutual forbear
ance.
