GENERAL JOE JOHNSON is urged q:

mond Wa.) district. The Richmond
Dispatch favors his candidacy be.
cause it believes be is the only man
in the district who has the requisite
talent and ability to Gil the position.
The Manchester Guardian dissents,
and wants General johnson to come
to the front a1d answer the following
questions:
Is he In favor OF pcnslonlng disabled Confetcr-
a;es as well as Federais. furnishing them with ar
tihcial limbs. and granting them equal admission

DEMOCRATIC speakers and resolu-
tion-makers throughout the country
always make a point of telling the
people that the present depression in
business, or, ''hard times" is alto
gether due TO Republican rule, and
that when the Democrats get control
things viii improve. Perhaps some
people are foolish enough to believe
this. In a speech lately made in
Congress by Hon. Abraham S. Hew-
itt, Chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, on the repeal of
the bankrupt law, we have a clear
explanation of the whole matter.
Mr.. Hewitt is a strong Democrat,
but be is not a demagogue, and his
remarks contain more sound sense
than twenty stump speeches by party
leaders. He said:
1--WE are marching steadily and surely
back to prosperity. We are here to-day
on hard pan | was astonished TO hear
the gentleman from Ohio mn. Ewing1
and the gentleman from Pennsylvania
Mr.. Kelly PROFOUND the doctrines which
they have laid down here to-day. They
seem to think that the distress in this coun-
try, with the attendant shrinkage of values
is something local. Let me tell those gen.
tlemen that this condition of things exists
all Ooer the ci5iized globe. In Great Bri-
tain, where specie payments have not
been interrupted for a long period, there
is the same s~hrinkage of value. In France,
where specie payments have been resumed
under a scheme which has received the
unqualified appreciation of these gentle
men, there is great commercial distress.
In Germany, where the sound system of
currency has never been departed from,
equal distress prevails. The business de-
preston and the shrinkage of values are
local bat universal. They are the re-
action Of a speculdtiU6 era; and when you
have an era of speculation, there is no
but through much tribulation,
through s~hrinkage, through liquidation of
Indebtedness, TO get back to the point
where we can begin upon the foundation
of solid and real values and upon honest
and true money"

up the music TO an obscure composer,

borrowed from the German, Is attribu-
