Judge Hargis.

The testimony of Judge Andrews
is very damaging 10 Mr. Hargis. lie

license in August, as claimed by Mr.,
Green. His testimony is substantial
ted by gentleman from an adjoin-
ing county, who was at The Rowan
circuit court at the time, and who has
entries in his book in reference to
matters of business which directly
prove his presence there and the date
of his presence. Judge Andrews is
an old gentlemen of the highest and
purest type of character and enjoys
the entire confidence and esteem of
all men within his district. Mr.. Har-
gis' lfriends claim that the Judges
testimony is nullified because he ad-
mitted at the end of his deposition,
under a cross-examination, that it
was within the range of possibility
that he could be mistaken as to the
time of the signing of the license, but
that his knowledge was as clear and
distinct as any human information
could be-" II is very natural that a

1t Ohio can not be carried for the

platform how can the Democracy

From cool, unbiased aud logical
standpoint these conclusions are in
evitable.
First, that il money will cause the
leaders in the Greenback party to put
out ticket in 1880 the Republicans
will see 10 it that the desired
amo unit shall not be lacking.
Second, that ifthey do make NOM

continues TO increase from now
until then at the same ratio that it has
In this county and in nearly every
Western State, the Democratic nomi-
nee will be defeated. +l,i
Third, that in case the National
Democratic Convention adopts a soft
money platform New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut
will go Republican.
Fourth, that in the event either q
hard or a soft money platform is
adopted the Greenbackers will have
ticket in the field.
Fifth, that in the event Foster, the
Republican candidate for Governor
of Ohio, defeats Ewing, the Demo.
cratic candidate for that office, then q
hard money platform can be our only
hope of success in 1880.
Sixth, that if the Democrats all
over the country are hereafter as luke
warm in the interests of their party
as q few leaders in this county have
recently proven themselves 10 be,
then with hard money platform in
1880 how many of these milk and
water fellows will find themselves
pledged 10 soft money and conse.
quently to Greenbackism?
1t is within the reach of the Demo.
Gratis to fairly elect a President in
1880, even as it did in 1876, without
any favors asked at the hands of the
Greenbackers. But if after electing
the President the milk and water
members of our party suffer the
country TO be cheated out of him by
their spirit of dominant and damag.
ing compromise it will only be in
keeping with our present compro-
mise, the determination to make no
nomination for the Legislature in our
county. We are charging nothing to
the Democrats of this county, for they
have not expressed themselves, nor
have they been allowed a fair oppor-
tunity to express themselves, unless
the convention called for June 2Sth
can te regarded as a fair opportunity,
and all know the pressing duties that |
retained farmers at their homes on
that day.

The Greenbackers.

We think it unnecessary TO make
war on the Greenback party in order
to "bolster" up the Democratic party.
We have no quarrel to make with the
Greenback party, but, at the same
time, VIC are loathe to prove the Dem
ocratic partya political nonentity by
any milk and water policy on our
part. AT this particular pointin pol
itics too vital are the Interests of the
Democratic partyfor our individuality
to be trifled with. We are told that as
soon as the Democrats nail on their
National platform soft money plank
the Greenbackers will come and stand
on it. Is this the case in Ohio now?
Has not the Democratic arty of that
State just adopted plank as soft as
any consistent Democrat can stand on
and did not the Greenbackers abso-
lutely refuse to coalesce, although
holding their convention on the eve-
nlng of the same day? But we are
told they have held another conven-
ton and coalesced with the Demo-
Gratis. This is only remotely true.
Sam Cary, Peter Cooper and few
other would-be leaders have since
called a second convention, and th at
convention had representation from
only about twenty counties in the
State. The Greenback party will be
sorely crippled, we admit, by the
adoption OF soft money platform OIL
the part of the Democrats in 1880, but
let MS not think for an instant thai
it will be its death knell. The rapid
ity with which this party is strength
ening in numbers is truly alarming
