him to any other of that stripe within the

DEMOCRATIC SHAM RErnENCuuESr

The Buffalo y. " Courier, referring to
the fact that the United States Signal Ser
vice by liberal and timely display OF storm
signals prevented loss Of life and property
during the recent fearful storms on the
lakes, says:
1t Is probably within the truth to say that
property enough was saved last week, as
direct result of the signal system TO pay tho
total expense of the entire service for two
years. A signal service to commerce, truly, i'll
more senses than one.
And yet if the Courier will take the
trouble to examine the Record 1t will find
that the representatives of the Democratic
party in Congress, the party which it sup
ports and for whose success il labors, did all
they could to cripple this rs it did every
other branch of the public service. The
Committee on Appropriations reported an
utterly Inadequate sum, against the protest
of the Republican members of the commit
tee, and when the bill was taken MP in the
House ATKINS, BLoUNT, SINGLETON, and
others fought inch by inch every effort to
make the appropriations adequate to the
demands of the service. Tie majority in
/ the last House became so crazy over the cry
Of retrcnchment and reform that they struck
without sense, and, if they had been lei'
alone, would have so crippled the sigma
Service that Buffalo and every other lake
shipping port wou!d have been to-day
mourning the loss of lives and vessels, in
stead of endorsing the value of the sigma

as the Republican party declare for and con-
tend for. There may be some difference OF
opinion on the part of earnest, Jealous, and
loyal Republicans rs to the necessity or pro-
priety Of continuing the national banks, but
these differences can safely he tolerated, in-
asmuch rs they do not in any degree
come in conflict with the cardinal prin-
ciplcs of the Republican faith. A differ
enCe upon minor points Of opinion
must be tolerated within party which
prides itself upon its intelligence and
devotion to freedom of Thought, opinion and
action. Otherwise disintegration may cnsuc,
and the power Of the party may be I'M
paired. We insist, therefore, that no true
Republican, who prefers grccnbaclis to ma
tional bank notes, or gold and silver to
gold rs the unit of metallic currency, shall
be bufIetted inside the party, or read or
hooted out of the party because Of an honest
and earnest expression Of that difference OF
opinion upon every proper occasion. The
Republican party is not the organization
into which to introduce intolerance Of feel
on the cardinal doctrines and principles OF
the Republican faith.
Mr. GoRHAM had the individual right to
make the speech he delivered at Newark rs
an expression of his own views, for they
cause no abrasion of the true Republican
faith, and hence the narrow-minded criti-
cism and spleen that have been indulged to-
ward him are entirely uncalled for and
should have been suppressed. He violated
no law of propriety, nor did he antagonize
any Republican principle in the bold and
manly utterancc of his sentiments; and he
should have been entirely exempted from
the ill-natured assaults that have been made
upon him by those who are no more than
his peers in Republican loyalty, good faith
and good works.

A pOsT-OFFICE WAR.

Up in New Castle, Pa, they have been
having such an interesting time lately
that even he Grecnback brcczcs from Maine
and the BUTLER Democracy Of Massachu-
setts have passed them by unnoticed. Post
offices are very often important elements
in local political campaign, and the at
tempt at q change in New Castle is likely
to effect considerably the result in the cleo
ton ola Congressman from the hctwenty-lourth
Pennsylvania district. 1t is not so much
the change as the manner in which 1t has
been attempted to effect it, that has reused
the ire Of the good people of that section ol
Western Pennsylvania. Mr.. TIpBALI, the
present incumbent Of the Office, has held the
position for many years, and stands de-
srryrdly high in the community. Mr.
WALLACE the late representative from that
district, upon retiring, made an attempt to
have him removed; but the rcpr, sentative.
elect Mr.. SHALLENEERGER, took up tho
fight in behalf Of TlDDALG., and suCcrcdtt
in having him retained, the people havins
also protested against his removal. tn,

REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE


When an earnest Republican begins to
talk about proGting by the lesson of the
late Maine election, it is the fashion just
now TO denounce him rs having gone over
TO the Grecnbackcrs. And when another
equally earnest Republican insists that the
party shall stand by its accustomed faith
despite the result in Maine, il is the further
fashion to dcnounce him as hard money
man, q contractionist, sc. These fashions
are as unreasonable as they are calculated
to stir up strife within the party ranks at
time when the most amicable relations
should be enjoyed by all those who seek the
success of the party as the legitimate enemy
of the Democracy. Possibly the Hon. EU-
GENE HALE and Mr.. Secretary GoRHAM,
both Of the Republican Campaign Commit
tee, will furnish illustrations of this mean
ing. Mr.. HALE has nothing to recant of
his professions before and during the CAM
p iign which resulted in his defeat. lie is
as eloquent now aud as determined in his
advocacy of his avowed principles rs ever,
and believes that the success of the
party is only worthy of achievement if
based upon stalwart defense of honest
money. Mr.. GoRHAM believes TIE same
thing; but because he made speech up in
New Jersey in which he gave vent to few
pointed ideas, suggested by the result of the
Maine campaign-ideas that are thoroughly
consistent with the past record of the party,
and which may servo to expose the fraudu-
lent pretentions of the Democracy to be
the especial friends of the greenback sys-
tem-hc is denounced as renegade, and
worse. 1t is apparent that a misconcep-
tiOn Of policies, or their tendencies, is re.
sponsible for these diverse deductions, for it
is certain that the differences between them
amount to nothing more nor less, under
close analysis, than preference each for
his own method of campaign warfare. And
this difference is not so great rs to disturb
the cQuanimity of their partisan amity,
much less of their personal relations.
They will consequently disnppoint the
enemies of the party by proceeding in the
future conduct of the campaign, rs they
have in the past, by using their best abili-
ties in joint endcnyor to promote success
and harmony.
This explanation would not perhaps be
required under other circumstances, but the
news telcgraphCrs here at Washington have
dignifcd the matter into an unwarranted
importance and exaggerated the facts &c
such an extent that the public has been led
to believe some disagreement has occurred
in the committee. They announced, fol
: example, when Mr. GoRHAM returned from
, New Jersey that the policy of the conduct
of the campaign would be changed, an(
when Mr.. HALE returned from Maine they
, announced that the orders for that chang
had been revoked. The truth is there wa.
no change in that policy there was no in
tcntion to change it, and there will be none
Honest money is the watchword in the
committee and the inspiration which will
control its future labors.
