that day in the future must be fixed

gal tender, 80 as to insure their absolute
retirement; and after that no paper
money but National Bank notes. This
is the financial issue undoubtedly. Dem

keep the whole currency question in its
own hands rather than donate it to Ma.
tional bank organizations. If we must
have a paper currency therefore, let it
take that shape which will not feed mo.

The government greenbacks are certain
ly quite as Constitutional as National
bank issues, and will save millions each
year to our tax burdened people. The

HAYEs's last veto of the Legislative ar
preparation bill showed the weakness
and ilnpudence of the man. He deserves,
and indeed receives pretty general con-
tempt. Every one knows he holds his
high Office by the forced fraud slone, and
for him to prate about his desire to pre-.
serve the purity of elections, looks too
much like Satan rebuking sin.
With presumption he refers to his last
veto and says:
III regret that the objections which
were then expressed to this method Of
legislation have not seemed to Congress
OF sufficient weight to dissuade from this
renewed incorporation of general enact
ments in an appropriation bill"
Further on in this veto message Mr.,
Hayes says:
"The constitutional authority to regu.
late the Congressional elections, which
belongs to the Government of the United
States, and which it is necessary to exert
w oVNuAO OhO AlSuG W NOJo W every CAJl'
zen possessing the requisite qualifCa.
tions, ought to be enforced by appropri.
ate legislation"
Now, the constitutional power to regu-
late Congressional elections here spoken
of by Mr.. Hayes is vested by the express
letter of the Constitution in Congress, in
thesa words,
"The times, places, and manner Of
holding elections for Senators and Rep.
resentatives shall be prescribed in each
State by the Legislature thereof; but the
Congress may at any time By laW make on
alter such regulations, except as to the
places of choosing Senators.
Congress has exercised this power, in
pursuance of the Constitution, and Mr..
Hayes, by his veto, has thwarted and
defeated Congress in the performance Of
one of the highest duties specially con.
fded by the Constitution to that body.
This is the plain English of the whole
proceeding.

Mutterlngs OF Coming Storm in the Republican
Household.
Columbus, Ohio, June l, 1879.

Columbus, Ohio, June 1, 1879.
There is big row in prospect among
the Republicans. Tah's friends are still
muttering over his defeat in the Csnven-
tion last week, and charge that it was
owing to the skullduggery of the seCre.
taries of that body that Foster owes his
nomination. A very prominent Republi-
can said to your correspondent tonight:
II am not satisfied, because know
Taft was nominated, and not Foster
Those men kept tally of the vote as it
was cast by the counties, and not as 1t
was given out by the Secretary, and they
made Fosters vote only 276 and one
sixth instead of 280. That was less than
was required to nominate him. Taft had
the 275 and fve.sixths. The two votes
for Keifer made up the rest. Now, if il
had been only one who kept this tally
he might have been mistaken but there
being three, and all Of them agreeing, it
certainly raises the grave question of
Fosters right to hold the place on the
ticket"
What do you propose to do about itP"
II don't know"
Another stalwart, who admits that he
is mad all over, says that the only way
to settle it is to bring it before the Re.
publican State Central Committee, which
meets here on Thursday next.
Can the State Central Committee 90
behind the returns and declare that Taft
was the nominee2"
THAT'S a close question. This thing
ofgong behind the returns is a thing we
don't liketo talk about; besides by the
returns Taft wasn't nominated"
"Then what can you do? You can't
call another Convention 2"
II don't know, exactly. We might
send around to the Chairman of each
county delegation to give the way they
voted but then that wouldn't be a safe
thing to do. Some mistakes might creep
in that way, and nobody would be salts
fed"
Without having direct authority for
saying 30, it is pretty certain that the
thing will be brought before the State
Central Committee in some shape, and
if Foster has no further trouble he will
go before the people OF his own party
with flaw in his title to the nomina-
tion.-Cin. Enquirer.

D1sFRANCHIsING CIrIzENs.

Democrats in Congress are now inclin.
ed to show up the mean and unwarrant.
able discrimination in Rhode Island
against foreign born voters. The Repub-
lican members are ever ready to harp
on the South, charging without proof
that the negroes are disfranChised, &c.
The question as to Rhode Island was up
in the Senate last week one day, and
Senator Anthony of that State, got an.
cry at the idea Of interfering with the
little sovereignty, that has two Senators,
two Representatives and four electoral
votes, with only half the legal voters of
Allegheny Co., Pa. He took the most
extreme State rights doctrine, saying
Rhode Island was one of the original
thirteen States it helped to make this
Union, and Congress had no right to in.
terfere with its election law and elec.
lions. Rhode Island" said the Sena-
tor, lis able to take care of herself, and
will brook no Federal intervention"
In a Democrat this would be States
rights; but the inquiry should 90 on for
of the people. Senator
McD replied to Mr.. Anthony, that
great deal had been said of late by
Republican Senators in advocacy of the
loctrine that each and every State has
interest in the Congressional
elections Of the others. Rhode Islands
highest total vote was about 25OOO
hardly double the vote ofStark county,,
md yet the State had two members Of
he House. 1t might do to see If it was
untitled to that representation.

THERE is little doubt that John Sher-
man, when he visited Ohio few weeks
ago to mend his fences, had in view the
Governorship, with an ulterior view
upon the Presidency. He said that if
he could sweep Ohio this year, as Hayes
did in 1875. he could be Hayes's success
sor. The contest in Ohio. too, this year,
would have brought prominently before
the people the Sherman sham resump- =
ton and TIE Hayes fraud administra.
ton, of which he is conspicuous part.
1t seems he concluded not to make the
venture, for he saw, that in case of defeat
in Ohio this fall he was shelved effect
ually. AS it is now, he will contend with
Grant for the Presidency, and let Foster
take the venture and the shipwreck. In
this way, too, the party leaders hope to
avoid the real issues and dodge the re.
sponSibilities of their policy and their
acts.

Was the choice of the Democracy Of
Stark county for reelection by an over
.whelming majority. They regard him a
most worthy and honest gentleman, and
it will be great disappointment to
thousands that he was not nominated by
aCclamation, as were the other State OFF.
GERS who were elected with him two
years ago. and over each Of whom Gov
ernor Bishop got near two thousand
votes more in the State, such was his
great popularity,
We believed with our Democratic
friends generally in Stark, that he was
deserving and entitled to the same con.
sideration extended to the other gentle
men referred to, and in that belief we
offered the following in the meeting of
the Stark county delegation at Colum-
bus,on Wednesday morning, before the
assembling of the convention:
Resolved, That In accordance with Democratic
usage, the Stark county delegation favors the re-
nomination OF the present incumhents In State

of views, during which we took occasion
to say, that Governor Bishop had acted
most cOnsCientiously in his high Office,
and was entitled to the respect and com.
mendation of every good citizen of the
State; and we were satisfied that in
Stark county he would, If on the ticket
this fall, receive as high a vote as any
other State official renominated. In re-
ply to the charge that the franklin
county delegation was against him for
denomination, we remarked it was per-
haps unfortunate that he was unpopular
with certain elements in Columbus, as
he had not Offices enough to 60 round /;
but that the same fate there frequently
happened in greater or less degree to
other Governors, both Democratic and
Republican. 1t is all right as it is, and
Governor Bishop is well satisfied, But
we are a great friend of even handed
justice, and believe in sound Demo.

FOSTER VERSUS TAFT.

In the Republican State Convention
at Cincinnati last week, Foster was NOM
mated for Governor on the first ballot,
the vote standing-Foster, 280 l 6; Taft,
27l56 The Stark County delegation
voted Taft 2, Foster 8. We take few
comments from Republican papers:
There are many reasons assigned by
Taft men for Fosters success in the Con-
yention. Among them is the influence Q
of the Congressional delegation from
Washington, which, although not direct
ly laboring for either candidate, were
known to be in Fosters favor. The
mere presence of Garfield, Mckinley,
Townsend, Updegraff, and others un.
questionably exerted considerable effect,
from the general knowledge prevailing
that they would so dearly like to see
their defeated Congressional friend the
winner. Clev. Herald.
Judge Taft was the choice of the Re.
publican Convention for Governor in
1875, but was set aside by timid party
managers. He was again the choice of
the Convention in 1877, and failed Of
nomination only because Of persistent
refusal up to the time the balloting
closed to say he would accept the place.
He would have been nominated to-day
had not feeling gained ground during
the discussions of the delegates that Fos-
ter was all in all better qualified to con-
duct vigorous can vass and bring out the
full Republican vote. 1t was feared that
Taft's decision on the question of the
Bible in the schools, and his speech
against the temperance crusade move
ment few years ago, both of which are
in print and would be available as Dem
ocratic campaign documents, might alien
ate some voters. This consideration
turned the scale and made effective the
exceedingly energetic canvass of Fos'
ter's friends.-E. Y. SmdNey IN N. Y.
IiibunS.
1t was our opinion that Judge Taft
would haYe been the strongest candidate
for Hamilton county, but the convention
by small majority gave the place to the
Hon. Charles Foster. ald the result will
be accepted by the Republicans every
where as the will of the party and the
best for the party.-Cin. Gazette.
Mr.. Fosters easy success was due to
the Presidents aid rendered with such
prudent secrecy that nobody had any
clear knowledge of what the President
was doing. The result will make upon
the country a favorable impression of

srNAron DAVID DAVIS Of Illlnoia. ha.

SENATOR DAVID DAVIS of Illinois, has
written letter to Democratic members
ofthe Illinois Legislature, who had join
ed in resolutions indorsiDg his course
on the Army bill. The letter is patriotic
and statesmanlike, and is as follows:
WASHINGTON, May II, 1879.
1t is hardly necessary for me to
say ] am in favor of perfect freedom Of
elections, from the interference or pres.
ence of any part of the army at the polls
because that opinion was emphatiCally
expressed on the loor of the Senate.
This is good legal authority founded on
the Constitution, and laws made in pur-
suance thereof. One of the grievances
of which our forefathers complained,
was that the king had qusrtered troops
on them, and had sought, by military
power, to coerce them into submission.
u Is Ettlc less than a public scandal, after
century of national eristence that any party
could venture to ask the pe0Dle's approval of
a spectes of tyranny forbidden in England,
