tinue one of the leading issues in the
campaign of 1880. But he is confront
ed by still more serious dilemma in
the revelations now being made before
the Teller Committee. Mr.. Thurman is
an ingrained Bourbon and the associa-
tions of a life time have tended to make
him one of the most narrow minded and |
bigoted of partisans. He has never
lost an opportunity to defend the bloody
code of the White League Democracy in
the Senate. His championship of the
bull dozers is notorious; and they have
shown themselves capable of no crime SO
atrocious or sickening as to shock Mr..
Thurman into silence. But his point
less, rambling letter to the young Dem
ocrats of Ohio shows his perturbations of
mind and the depths of depression in
which he is at present wallowing. There
are other dem-well call them Demo-
crats-unhappily disappointed at the
success of resumption. AS in the case
of Mr.. Thurman it discredits them
abroad and at home as prophets, and
makes the handsprings and double sum-
mer saults they have turned during the
past two years with the hope of keeping
on the winning side regardless of prin-
ciples or conviction, appear in light so
ridiculous, not to say contemplate, that
they are in danger of being laughed out
of future nominating conventions. Let
us hope these men represent only them
selves in their anxiety to thus trade on
the National pledges to its creditors, to
temporarily obtain place and power.
Certainly if Republican and Democratic
representatives here correctly reflect the
sentiment of their constituencies, vast
majority of the voters of this country
share the feeling of heartfelt gratitude
exhibited by most Congressman here,
that we have been able to get down to a
hard money basis with so little disturb
ance to any of our material interests.
Senator Oglesby has secured the re-
spect of the public by his straight-for-
ward course here as national legislator.
Nevertheless, Gen. Logan is the popular
favorite with those who sympathized with
the Union cause at least that is the
impression one gets from the tone of
comment heard on the chances of the
different candidates for the Senatorial
succession from Illinois. | believe he
is the preference of very large MAORI
ty of the class named, as between him
and any other man Illinois Republicans
could select to represent them in the
House of Congress. His course in the
Senate was narrowly scrutinized and
generally commended itself to Re-
publicans, and the conspicuous services
he rendered the country in its hour Of
peril will not be forgotten till the last
loyal man of this generation shall have
succumbed to the last enemy.
About the only thing settled relative
to yellow fever by the worlds experience
with that terrible soourge, is that wher
the temperature touches the freezing
point its power of death and desolatior
is efectually stayed. The remedy in
, trodueed by Prof. Gangee, of London
and endorsed by medical and other sci
entifc men is based on this known &C
J tion of frost; and many officials anc
others are urging an appropriation fol
Its application South, to save US from
the danger that now menaces US from
) the fever germs lodged in the sheltered
places there, and which, it is felt, MAY
| break out into terrible activity with tn,
| warm weather of spring and invade the
whole country.
