ne failure at Manchester
yesterday is found to be a very bad
one, and the impression produced by
it is all the stronger from the fact
that Messrs. Hugh Ballfour Il Co.
were an old established house and
had long conducted what was be-
lieved to be an extensive aud safe
trade, quite free from speculative
ventures.
The political sky is equally over
cast. The news from India private
ly received at the Horse Guards is
said to be unpleasant. So far as it
relates to the discovered incnicicncv
of the supply ana transportation de
psrtmcnts, 1t is feared that the nee
essary supplies and nutrition cannot
be got up to the front in time for the
advance on the 18th, even if the men
themselves are ready.

NOTWITHSTANDING the good sense

NOTWITHSTANDING the good sense
and moderation of the American ma
ton, there a be found everywhere
persons with tendency to extreme and
foolish measures.
That the Republican party in its
organized Legislative capacity has not
been free from such proclivities is as
true as that it has embraced and still
counts among its devotees, some OF
the most unbridled political thinkers
and actors. Its past and present
record abundantly corroborates this
assertion. Not content with judicious
use of paper money, it flooded the
nation with greenbacks. Realising
Its mistake, it rushed to the opposite
extreme Of contraction and made
gold the basis of exchange anil
measure of value.
OF the two great parties existing
in this country, the Democratic party
has always been the most c~onserya-
tive. 1t is difficult if not impossible
to point out as much as a single in
stance in which it has with anything
approaching unanimity taken extreme
positions or embraced fanatlcal ideas
but even in its ranks, there are or
have been some possessed of almost
irresistible impulses to do so. Had
t been otherwise, the Democratic
,arty would have been either more or
ess than human.
The Republican party nhlipious of
g own -e~hness seems to have re.
arded this tendency of individual
democrats as a most vulnerable
pint of attack, and to have done
'eryting il its power to induce them
adopt absolute money views. 1t
. not only represented that fiat
oney was the legitimate goal of
.mocratic principle, bat it is even
serted that the Advocate, published
New York, and extensively circu.
ed in the West at less than the
It OF the paper On which it is print
is sustained by Republican con-. /,
buttons. I,
Il all this be true and there ia l;ttIo ,
I'm for doubt the late elections +,

biting from such conditions and 1
ksures has hung in the

publicans in IL. There remains 8
States, California, Connecticut, Hill
nois, Nevada, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.
The Republicans must gain the whole
of these to prevent the Democrats
from obtaining a majority in the rep
reservations of a plurality OF the
States, and if they should be able tc
carry the whole of them they Will p'
one vote short of controlling a Presl
dental election in the House. 1t Is
scarcely possible however for the
Democrats to miss obtaining a ma
jority in the delegation of at leas
one of these States, and there Is goo
prospect for carrying three OF four {
them.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1878-10-17

The Associated Press dispatches
from Colorado show that that state
has gone Republican by an increased
majority, electing Belford to congress
again. The Greenbackers polled
IL, 200 votes, but drew their support
almost entirely from the Democracy,
thus serving to increase the Republi-
a majority. So it will be every
where, and still the Greenbackers
cannot see that they are only the
dupes of the Republican party, with
out strength sufficient to carry an
election anywhere.

dark cloud changed with fury
for all other or CARNATIONS, but
at last its power is spent, and it has
not been able to get up as much as o
frst-class commotion in either. The
extremes of imitation and contraction
have been co~ntrasted and as between
the two contraction has been prefer
red. The national Greenback Labor
| party has not been able to hold Its
own, and many Republicans acting
in q former State election in ONO
with Democrats against contraction
and for judicious use of paper money,
startled by exaggerated statements OF
the strength of ar unknown element
and fear of excessive imitation ano
consequent r~epaeiation have returned
to their party and elected its STATE
candidates.
