The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1878-06-25

wThe Republican State Convention
resolved that the financial condition Of
the country Is Just about as it ought to
be, aud should not be disturbed.
With neither enterprise nor industry
receiving any adequate reward, aud with
unstable at half its ordinary
value, there are many to doubt II the cit
uation is very highly satisfactory.
And as to quietiug all agitation OF
money questions by resolving that they
are disposed Of, it will hardly be signal
success. It does not need very old
man to remember that the slavery ques-
ton was repeatedly resolved upon in the
same way, but the agitation would not
cease Although both the great parties
Whig and Democratic -solemnly declar-
ed that the compromise measures of 1880
were finality, and that the man who re-
fused his assent to this was an enemy to
his country, the agitation seemed to
thrive all the more.
The meu who drew the Republican
platform knew that the financial condi.
tion of the country was not satisfactory
and knew that the agitation would no,
cease while every breeze is burdened
with complaints of hard times; but they
also knew that they had nothing to 6 ffel
which promised relief. They did moi
dare to express their convictions lest
they should disclose divisions in theil
party.
Time will tell whether this timid shirk
ing of the difficulty was wise. They arr
very likely to learn that the people viii
not turn the patient over to q physician
who says there is nothing the matter
will not seek relief from hard time'
through party which says the times arr
no harder than they ought to be.

The Tobacco Mems Action.

The tobacco men held a formal confer,
epce last night 18th inst and in view of
the advanced stage of the session, agreed
not to further press the Internal Revenue
Bill until winter. An Executive Com
mittee, of which DR.. Spence. of Cincin
natl, was made Chairman, was appointed
to call Convention of tobacco manufac-
turers next fall, which will probably be
held in Cincinnati. 1t was further
agreed that when the bill comes up next
winter they will advocate an amendment
to the effect that the reduction of the tax
shall not take effect until April I. 1880.
This will give the trade, meanwhile, an
opportunity to prepare for the contem-
plated reduction, and the outlook is quite
favorable that the long hoped-for reduc-
ton of tax payers will be certainty
next winter. Telegram to Enquirer.

TROUBLESOME TRAMPs.

HARRlsBURe, PENN, June 19.-Outra-
ges by tramps in this State are becoming
frequent. To-day in thinly settled To-
cality of Huntington County, the resi-
dence of three old bachelors named John,
Isaac andPeter Hawn was entered by
two tramps who kicked and beat them
until they were insensible, and knocked
down Elizabeth, the houskeeper. One OF
the tramps held the woman while his con-
federates rsnsacked the house, securing
"a, 900 in bonds, small quantity OF cash
and valuables. AS the tramps retreat-
ed from the house the housekeeper SCUM
ded the alarm and several fishermen hap
pening in the vicinity they went in pursuit
of the fugitives who turned and fred sew
eral shots at the pursuers. One of the
pursuers made narrow escape from
being killed, bullet passing through his
clothes. A vigorous search is being
made for the tramps, they having escaped
to the woods. Fears are entertained that
Isaac Hawn will die from his treatment.
