A BUESAvEsTuR, dispatch of the 2ith
says: In the District Court this MORN
ing, amid the greatest confusion, was
the presentation OF afidayits and
counter afidavits. The prosecution
conceded that the case of McCart was
intimately connected with that of
Churchill, and as the latter had been
postponed, that OF McCUrt might 20
over With it. 1t was so ordered. and
the Court turned its attention to impan-
neling q jury TO try Curlee, the next
defendant on the list. IN the case OF
Sprague, it is conceded and the records
show that the indictment and plea was
not read to the jury, and that the
omission may result in a new trial. 1t
is claimed that this error will resalt not
only in a'now trial, but In the discharge
Of the defendant, upon the ground that
he cannot be tried again.

SHERMAN is being damned up and
down by the Greenbackers for not
pushing out and flooding the coun-
try with the new SILVER dollars.
Like all the other Greenback crys
this has its start with the money
lords and is entirely in their interest
They are afraid, for one thing, that
Sherman will hold this silver and
when resumption day comes and
they with their accumulated millions
of bonds and paper call upon him for
specie he will tender them the silver.
For another reason they want the
silver out among the people so that
when it's natural depreciation comes
it will fall upon them, not upon the
money centers. A year ago many
thousands of Mexican and trade dol
lars were distributed among the peo-
pie at par. And then, TO quote from
q greenbaok paper, the Indianapolis
Sun, Gas soon as the laboring poor
and the purblind small merchants
got into their pockets about all
these dollars there were in this
country thu banks shut down on
them and they were worth only
ninety cents" 1t is for this pur-
pose the moneJ men teach their
dupes to cry out against Sherman
for not forcing the silver dollar into
circulation. It's shrinkage, now
amounting TO about IL per cent. is as
certain to be the peoples loss as that
it ever gets out among them in con-
siderable quantities. But what does
this clamor by the Greenhackers to
70 nav bonds in Siiuer mean when the
heart, the life of their party is that
bonds shall be paid in greenoacks !?
Honest neighbor, Grant County
farmer, mechanic. fellow laborer, do
not allow yourselves to be thus used.
We blush Tor you.

TIE Greenbackers whose argu-
ments are furnished for them by the
money gamblers who want to rob in
dustry, say, pay off the bonds that
were hypothetical for national cur
rency and save the interest the peo-
pie have to pay on them. Those bonds
now amount to $500, 100000. The
Government is rapidly converting
them into four per cents. When that
is effected the interest on them would
be $l2, 100000 per year. These bonds
are not taxable but the National
banks by whom they are hypothecat-
ed pay taxes to the amount of $l7,-
100000 annually. If the bonds are
paid off in Greenbacks the banks
would save to themselves and from
the people these $l7, O,oo0-or a
net saving to themselves and loss to
the people of the difference between
the interest they receive and the tax
as they pay, viz: S4,2O0,0oo. Now,
in whose interest is the cry for this
cS.sssange?

OF the Greenback County Con-
vention w. F. Briggs was Chairman
and DR.. j j. Leavitt, Secretary.
Twenty-one towns were represented
with fractional delegations. Their
committee of conference consisted of
John Battle, John A. May, III. Gill
moro, J. B. Church Jas. A. Kilbcurn,
Ill. A. W. McNair and Ira Brunson.
Their nominations are gwen in the
proceedings of the Democratic con-
vention. Their proceedings were
balky and baked at every step.
They attempted to fly Greenback
Kite but always came out tail to
the Democratic kite. They could
not decide among themselves what
to be called. Motions ere made to
call the ticket National Green back
ticket" others to call it the "Green.
back ticket" others the "Union
G.eenback ticket,' others the
"Grcenback Union ticket" and one
moved to call it the democratic
ticket" Not one OF these motions
was decided. The question was
raised again after jointly meeting
with the Democrats. Even there
they tried to have it called the Ma
tional Grecnback ticket or the
Greenback Union ticket but as in
ali other steps, the fl les walked into
the spide $ parlor. The Democrats
were their masters and they were
willing slaves.

The most striking thing about the
National movement is its tondness for
damaged demagogues. Here is the
irrepressible Ignatius Donnelly NOM
mated for congress by the Nationals
IN the Sd Minnesota district and act
ually accepted by the Democrats. 1t
seems almost incredible. Donnelly
has been hanging on the edge OF ey-
cry political party for years and has
been cuffed and kicked so persistent
ly that nobody believed he had any
political life left. 1t is no wonder the
leading journal of Minnesota the Pho.
aeer' Press, rubs its eyes in bewilder-
ment and asks If the nomination is
meant for burlesque. 1t calls Dom

agogue, a bankrupt political adyen.

ton is an insult to the Democratic par
ty of the district placing it in the

nance of political circus and it
says it will be greatly mistaken If
three-quarters of the Democrats are
not thoroughly Disguised and asham-
ed. Perhaps they will be but the
Republicans will be wise to proceed
on the superstition that every Demo-
crat in the district will vote for Dom
nelly on election day. No well regu.
lated Democrat allows his disgust to
interfere with his vote.

lRREDEEMABLE paper money is
claimed to be distinctively the money
for workingmen. Let us see.
Our experience as a nation has
been that unconvertible paper mon
ey, which is stronger by at least the
promise of the issuing party, whatev-
err that may have been worth, than
the currency so zealously advocated,
fuctuates greatly in value in compare
ison with the precious metals; and
the fiat money would undeniably fluc.
tuate still more seriously. But the
prices of all kinds of merchandise
whatever were always regulated from
day to day on the metallic standard
and must always be so. Every such
rise was added to the price of a days
labor: but the goods bought with the
price of days labor had perhaps
been through the hands of dozen
workmen, each Of whom had added
his increase also. Is it profitable for
him to pay all these their margins for
the sake of the one margin he may
add to his own wages?
Again, in unstable times every man
adds smaller or greater fraction to
his margin of profits to make good
possible losses from sudden deprecia-
tons. Does the man who adds this
once, on the labor he sells, make any.

five or six have added in turn as they
