The Democracy pronounced the green
backs, and all other United States currency,
unconstitutional. Now they pat the Green
hacker on the back to urge him on in his
greenback crusade. What the Democracy
want is to get such an amount of paper
money in the country that confidence in its
redemption will be destroyed, and then the
money will be worthless.

No act of Congress awakened so great a
feeling of contempt among the people as
the SHACK Salary Act" Mr.. Speer, who
was in Congress, not only favored the mea-

now certain clique of his party have sue

State organization as Chairman of the Dem
much reform can there be in SO back salary
grabber," or in any reform measures that he
may propose. The people are not so blind
as to follow so blind areformer. As gen.

that the return judges cheated Thomas and
Grubb out OF the nomination, by changing
certain return papers, is entirely unworthy
of men who make any pretension to being
men of reliability and truth. OF course, if
what they charged is true, it IS right that
they should tell it, and the rascal who would
do such an act should be exposed, so that
he may be Stunned by honest people. The
Democrat and Register is therefore called on
to make good its charge. 1t owes it to
itself to tell. Ii it does not make the
charge good by proving it, its false testi-
mony will bring down on it a penalty which
never fails to visit the false witness sooner
or later. 1t owes it to the Return Judges
to make good its charge, for they were men
of character, as body, and if Judas got
among them and betrayed his trust, they
will not allow themselves to be humiiated
by his work. Will the Democrat and Reg
i,ter come to the front and freely vindicate
its ewn good name, as clearly as it made
men. II the Democrat and Register is using
such charge to keep its people from adopt
ing the Crawford County System, and its
arguments should be grounded on a false
charge, the record will be exceedingly un-
pleasant for those who made it. If the
charge should prove true, the system is not
