City enjoys in fuller measure the respect and esteem
OF his fellow citizens.
We believe in honest money; that the promise
OF our Government to pay ought 10 be worth mar
everywhere and under all circumstances and that
1t should be maintained Mt that value by strict
adherence to all the pledges of the Government and
the faithful fulllment 81 every Obligation Of the
National bonds" That is the financial plank which
the Republcans OF the LIST New-Dersey District
framed into the platform upon which they placed
ex-Secretary Robson as candidate Cor Congress-
When so sturdy defender of honest money az
Senator Eaton retreats before tho Greenbaek wave
the Democratic party IS indeed in a bad way When
the silver controversy was az it's height in WASH
ington. somebody asked Mr. Eaton what would
come after unlimited silver. and he replied, Un-
limited paper" "And what after that" "HcllP
was the Torso and not inappropriate response. Per
haps Mr.. Eaton thinks the period of his sulphurous
climax Is about to arrive and accordingly he seeks
shelter.
The President-making business is enjoying brief
hull at present. Mr. Tden's friends subdued by
the cipher dispatch revelations, and Mr.. Thurman's
shouters are devOting their energies to carrying
Ohio. 1t is announced that Senator Bayard has
given up all expectation of a nomination IN 1850,
which is not so surprising as the intimatiOn that
he had any TO give up. The third term advocates
are making casual demonstrations, but are much
queter than they, were month ago. Everybody
be nominated for the Presidency TIL 1880.
Mr.. William E. Chandler has addressed letter to
prominent NeW-Hampshire Republicans, asking
them to meet the State Committee at Concord next
Monday for consultation. He says there are nume-
rOus Republicans who are dissatisfied with the
action of the late convention because it failed to
pledge the party in favor of Federal interference TO
protect life and freedom of political action in the
South ;" because it neglected to express its views
1t did not select Mr. Bell as the candidate for Coy
ernor. He adds that the alliance between the Dem
Ocrats and GreenbackerS makes 1t more than prob
able that there will be choice OF Governor by the
people, and Democratic majority IN the LegISla-
ture. In view of this threatened danger to Repub-
lcan ascendancy in the State, he asks for sugges-
tons and plans for averting the disaster.
Ex-secretary Robson was nominated for Con-
gress with unusual enthusiasm and unanimity. He
accepted IN a speech which showed that he was pre-
pared for lively fight with his enemies. He
thanked the convention for giving him an oppOr-
tunity to say to the whole pack Of his assailants
Hunters and hounds, now is your time. Meet
me face to face; before the people Of this district
try the issue between us, man to man, eye to eye,
each man who fights to see the man who strikes
him. He was also glad TO have chance 20 speak
upon the issues OF the grand old Republican party,
and Z" to vindcate If II needs VlndlcatlOn, inc al,
minlstratlOn of General Grant. As far as General
Grant Is concerned personally, there is his char
acter his reputation past and present-that may
now he left TO the hearts of the American people.
There his character will shine ever glorious through

loud and long.
