The trustees of the Soldiers and Sail
ors' Orphans Home have published cir
cular and sent out to the parents and or
phans who have been at the Home, saying
that they will disregard the law passed
last winter by the Democratic Legislature,
the object of which was to turn out of the
Home large number of unfortunate pu-
pills, and that they can come to the Home
on the 9th. This is kind, indeed, on the
part of the trustees, even if they do vio-
tate the law, by receiving pupils into the
Institution whom the law says shall not
have its benefits; but this does not relieve
the authors and the lawmakers of the
public Odium that justly attaches to them
for this outrage on humanity and justice.
Nor, in fact, do the trustees deserve credit
even for their apparent kindness, for it
was only the fear of an indignant and in
suited public that induced them to fore
go the requirements of the law. They
dare not enforce the law; but even this
suspension of its operation will not save
the party from an inglorious defeat at the
polls.

1t is not worth while for our Democrat
ic friends to worry themselves about the
resumption of specie payment or the re-
peal of the resumption act, for the whole
question was settled by the remonetiza-
ton of silver coin, and the act of Con-
gress to prevent the contraction of the
paper currency. By these acts we have,
practically, reached resumption several
months in advance of the requirements
of the resumption law of 1875. All
prudent, honest men are willing to let
the currency question alone and settle
down to solid business. By agitating the
question, and trying to create dissatisfac-
tion with our financial system, you can
not make it any better; and to talk about
hard times, and trying to make everybody
believe that the Government is on the
eve of bankruptcy you only create dis
trust and destroy confidence, and this you
try to do at a time when the country was
never blessed with more abundant crops,
of all kinds, or better financial system !;
paper money practically at par with gold
and large balance of trade with foreign
countries in our favor. In this view of
the facts, the man or the political party
who will keep up petulent clamor about
hard times, or the repeal of the resump-
ton act is either upon the verge of bank
ruptcy or is a peevish, petulent, sore
headed malcontent.

The recent order of the United States
Treasury Department, providing for the
distribution of the new legal tender sill
yer dollars for greenbacks, has taken the
wind out of the sails of the Democratic
newspapers and stump orators. The
government is now sending all over the
country large amounts of the silver dol
lars-the 'dollars of the daddies'', if you
please-to exchange for greenbacks with
those who prefer the coin. This ques-
ton of resumption, and the immediate
repeal of the resumption act; was all the
capital the Democracy had left to operate
on in this campaign. But resumption
just the thing the Democracy didn't want
lis here; and it plays the very mischief
with their grave arguments against the
resumption act. The truth is, the Demo-
cratic party is likely to butt it's brains
out against this resumption act, which is,
now that resumption is practical and a
reality, nothing but dead issue.

OUR Democratic friends got their foot
in it when they procured that colored
Democratic individual, from Athens, to
come here and make speech and tell the
colored people of Fayette county how to
vote. The truth is, the colored people
here think they have got sense enough to
choose for themselves, without the Dem
ocratic leaders having a colored rattle
trap to come here and tell them how to
vote. The result is, that all that affected
civility and love for the colored race, by
certain Democratic leaders, has proved to
be cloves labor Iost,'' and the result has
been that the colored voters have gone to
work with renewed vigOr for the whole
of the Republican ticket; and we should
not wonder if these same Democratic
leaders would, in few weeks, be heard
swearing that they 'Fnever did hug and
kiss the damned nigger.''

In 1864 the Democrats met in national
convention at Chicago, and resolved that
the war was failure, and demanded that
hostilities should cease. Grant was then
marching TO final victory. In June, 1873,
the Democrats of Ohio met in State con-
VentiOn at Columbus, and demanded the
repeal of the resumption act. Yesterday
gold fell of its own weight, in New York
to u premium. One hundred dollars in
paper money, greenbacks, or national

GOLD in the city of New York, on Fri
day last, was quoted at only one-quarter
of a cent above greenbaeks, National
band notes and silver coin. One hundred
dollars and % cents of either green
backs, National bank paper or silver coin
will buy 800 in gold. On that very day
George L. Converse made speech in this
town, and howled for the destruction of
National banks and the repeal of the re-
sumption act. 1t is little too late to
howl for the repeal of that law when re-
sumption has come, practically, several
months prior to the day when the resump-
tion act is to take effect.

IN one of our Democratic exchanges
we find the following, which is probably
put out as a reason for the passage of the
bill in the last Legislature, denying GER
tain orphans the benefit of the Home:
s'After the defeat of Hon. VIM. Allen
for Governor, the little children at the
Soldiers Orphans Home, at Xenia, were
conducted to the lawn in front of the
Home and made to sing: 'We'll hang old
Bill Allen on sour apple tree"

enough to edit a Democratic paper, will
believe one word of this ''sour apple
tree'' SANDER.

FROM every part of the county we hear
good reports of the feeling among Repub-
licans in reference to the success of the
party at the coming election. The signs
of the times indicate that there will be a
complete Republican victory in Fayette
county, in spite of the misrepresentation
that are being made by unscrupulous pol
iticians. We are aware that no stone is
being left unturned to secure the election
of portion of the Democratic ticket
especially the Sherif-the patronage of
whose Office (the present incumbent) has,
since his installation, been put into the
Democratic newspaper organ, for the ben
eft of an imported editor, and the peo-
ple's money, thus paid, taken and ex-
pended in another part of the State, to
improve property there, instead of being
expended at home, where it properly be-
longs. While the people recognize the
right of the Sheriff to select his own me-
dium, they hardly approve of his select
ing medium that carries all the money
that comes into it out of the county for
Investment. Besides this, the people are
tired of having Sheriff that is in the
habit of collecting exorbitant fees for ser
vices poorly rendered.

WE hear that stories are being circula-
ted freely, in some parts of this county,
that Major Cook, the Republican candi-
date for Sheriff, is not running with the
intention of discharging the duties of the
Office himself, but that, if elected (Which
he will be), he has promised to make Col.
Garis, Burnett and Gillespie his deputies,
who are to discharge the duties of the
Office. The story is base falsehood, got
ten up by interested parties to defeat the
election of Major Cook. He has made no
promise t. anybody, nor does he intend
to do so; he thinks it will be quite time
enough to choose his assistants after he is
elected. He informs us that, if elected,
he expects to perform as much of the
business as can be accomplished by one
man. We wish here to suggest to those
who are so freely circulating this SANDER,
that if either Garis, Burnett or Gillespie
had discharged the duties of the Sheriff7s
office during the time the present incum-
bent has been in the Office, the duties
would have been much more correctly and
promptly discharged, and with less ex-
pense to the parties concerned.

1T Is not the reorganization, itself, of
the Soldiers Orphans Home thatt the peo-
pie complain of, but it is the mean and
contemplate provisions of that reorgan-
ization, law, which prohibits children un-
der twelve years of age from entering
the Home, ,and the provision that reouires
the mothers who are receiving pensions
to pay the same over to The trustees of the
Home; and the provisions that prohibit
children, whose mothers are not receiv-
ing pensions, from obtaining the benefits
of the Home. The Democratic papers in
the State dare not, in the face of the uni
versal condemnation of these provisions
of the law, defend them but, in order to
evade the condemnation of an indignant
public sentiment, they tell the people that
those provisions of the law will not be
put into practical force, but allowed tC
remain as a dead letter, as they never
were designed to be enforced. This is q
poor, miserable apology; and even this
comes when death stares the party in the
face. 1t is, in truth, a tacit acknowledge
ment that the only object of the reOrgan-
ization was to turn Republican officials
and employees out of the Home, and to
reward Democrats by placing them in the
places made vacant by the Democratic
guillotine.

No candidate in this county, probably,
made more promises of what he would
do, if elected sheriff, than did Mr.. Smith
two years ago. That being the case, no
candidate, after being elected, fulfilled
fewer of them. You see there was too
much promise for the ability to fulfill.
