The World Is the most courageous newspaper of
modern times. 1t is attempting to prove that the
Democratic party did not oppose resumption.
There is a rumor that Tlllen has sent his
clamor" in a letter to Chairman Potter If he
has we shall know it, for Mr.. Potter will run away
when he gets it.
Mr.. Potter will hardly be able to repeat these
chascs after the mendacious Anderson and the
elusive jerks many times more without putting
his dignity IN peril.
No wonder Hendricks made mp his mind that it
wouldn't be worth while TO spend the Winter in
Washington to watch Thurman. The unfortunate
Ohio Senator is no longer formidable to anybody
save himself.
The Democratic leaders are said to he determined
70 devote themselves closely 20 the public business
and have Congress adjourn as soon as possible.
This means that they will not have leisure to touch
the clphcrs. Yet Glover and the other muG-silngeTS
are permitted to 90 on with then digging.
Mr.. Tilden writes to the Ohio Democrats thar he

of promise that the people VIII regain all the rights

General Butler has written a letter to Governor
Talbot, of Massachusetts,, warmly approving the
latter's message and declaring that if the reforms
therein recommended arc secured he will be rs wei

National Tcformcr
1t is charged IN Maine. by so excellent an alI-
thority as The BdHgJr wing and Courier, that Gov
crnor tiarceon owes his election TO shameful bar
gaining between the Democrats and GreenbackerS.
Some of the most obnoxious of the Greenbacher5
have been chosen members of the Governors
Council and il is pretty clearly shown that AT least
one of them was selected because OF the special
recommendation of the Governor. The wing and
CouriU says: Never before IN the history Of
Maine has a State administration us ered in such an
atmosphere of trading, qualification and lnSin-
ccrity." Yet this II the victory the Democratic
party has rcjOced 50 much about.
This is the time when the Democracy bats its
hook anew and throws it out for the Grcenback
party TO nbbe. The Democratic organs are filled
with articles on the consolidation of parties, in
which the necessity of uniting ali the elements of
opposition to the Republican party is forcbly SET
forth Some of the editors urge rs bond of union

not ?. ing suggestion 70 a few editors who see
the f.. OF such "a course az this time of all times.

SORRY plight. II cannot turn over new leaf aud
start as an honest money party without losing the
Greenback vote. II IT attacks the banks in order to
catch the Greenbdckcrs, it will lose New-l0rk
state and win nothing but defeat.
