No Show in 1880.

New York Herald
The notable feature Of the result
is the poor show made by the green
back National party. Its leaders con.
fldently and publicly claimed that
they would elect three congressman
IN Ohio and three in Indiana. So far
as is now known they have not elect
ed a single one. The "rag baby" has
once more failed its devotees and
the people, in spite Of their discon-
tent with both parties, have shown
themselves wiser than the politicians.
The result ought to encourage the
friends OF sound money in both par
ties to holder and more aggressive eff
forts in the November States. It
ought to teach the Democratic leaders
that they cannot succeed by playing
the demagogue. No one now doubts
that if the Democratic party in Ohio
had dropped its silly "fraud' cry aud
its equally silly initiation appeal, aud
placed itself boldly on sound cur
rency platform, t could have swept
the State. But the Democratic lead.
ers in most of the States have neither
courage nor wis ION and that is the
reason the people keep them so long
wandering in the wilderness. 1t is
safe to say that the Ohio and Indiana
Democrats have almost if not entirely
ruined the chances of their party in

Richmond (va.) Dispatch Dem.)
The congress now elected will not
assemble until December, 1879, and
when it assemblies it will be impossi.
BILE for it to pass any measure that
will make any great change in the f.
nancial system Of the nation. Such
thing as the authorization of such an
amount of paper money as will affect
its value injuriously is entirely ont Of
the question. The votes cannot be
had in congress for any such vicious
and dishonest measure as will bring
that calamitous result upon the conn
try. IT the votes could be obtained
and such measure could get through
congress, the president would as.
surediy veto it. But the president
will never have to veto that mon
strous affair. 1t will never be passed.
The Democratic party alone would
kill it dead-dead. The congress
