National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1879-08-07

OUR advices from Maine lead to the opin-
ion that the Republicans of that State are
pushing a most vigorous canvass, and are
daily growing more and more hopeful of
success The Greenback party is disinte-
grating, and the Republicans of that party
are returning home and joining in the can
vass with zeal and efficiency, The Demo-
Gratis are far from being confident of victory,
while the Greenbackers are not insensble
TO the fact that their standing ground is
crumbing beneath their feet, rendering
their prospects more and more doubtful as
the canvass progresses, Our friends here
may rest assured that the Republican cause
will be pushed to victory if hard work and
unaagging zeal can accomplish that end.
The efforts Of Secretary SHERMAN have
been exceedingly influential in bringing the

Tom EwING's campaign out in Ohio is
being conducted with all the accessories OF
an old-fashioned Fourth of July celcbra-
ton. In Noble County recently he was
escorted by a procession, headed by wagon
bearing thrty-eight young ladies, doing
" the angel business" as the Cleveland
P'dindedler reports it, And it will, we
add, be 'angel business" for Tom until the
end, when the angel of hope will desert
him. Meanwhile, we admonish these or
any other thirty-eight Buckeye angels that
they are loafing around the wrong throne.
They should join CHARLIE Fosters band

To the Editor of The National Republican;
The visitors to the famous old "Warm
Springs" located here have been unusually nu.
merous this season. But they have come
mainly from Baltimore and Washington. How
different this from what obtained forty or fifty
years ago, before tho era of railroads. Then
this place was reached only by private car
riages, over the very hilly, ungradod road
characterizing tho locomotive facilities of the

Governor Seymour that he could not consent
to suspend the draft in New York City, as
time was important, but that tho enrollments
of some districts should be revised. General
Sibley reboried that he had fought three des-
perate battles with 1900 Sioux Indians, aud

THE bankers of the country are not so
modest pending their Saratoga convention
as to neglect to blow their own horns.
They claim to have aided materially in
bringing about Resumption, and also in re-
funding the public debt. To very appre-
ciable extent this claim is well founded f;
but its assertion just now will carry no
weight in the minds of the Greenbackers,
who are the sworn and persistent enemies
of the banks. In fact, the Grecnbackers
will find in it further argument against
them, for they are so unreasonable as to
hate any and all of the agencies which
served to knock the underpinning from
their arguments against specie payment II
remains TO be seen, however, whether the
bankers will succeed in stemming the cur.
rent of popular opinion which is setting in
against them outside of the Greenback
party. To do this they must overcome @
constantly growing sentiment in favor o.
the exclusive right of the Government tC

quired for our commercial uses.

THE cooler weather yesterday is ac-
counted for by the fact that the New York

THE villainous suggestion is made by the
Boston Herald that BEN BUTLER shall be
appointed 10 succeed AIr WELSH at the

hates Great Britain with an unreasonable

get rid of BEN is strikingly apparent.

There is great trouble in the Democratic

to have been spy, or, in other words, u trail
tor, whose business has been to sutreptitiously
inclose Republican speeches for circulation
through the mails aud under Democratic
franks in Ohio. This terribly partizan trick
was only recently discovered by accident, and
an examination of packages already prepared
for the mails dsoloses tho appalling fact that
a large number Of Stalwart Republican
speeches were all ready to go forth to Demo-
cratic voters with the compliments of General
EWING, as siguified by his frank. The pack
ages were all overhauled and the Republican
speeches burned. There is great guashing Of
Democratic teeth over this little discovery, and

II the present Administration will exert
itself to hurry matters along, it will be able
to complete negotiations for the inauGura-
tion of an international monetary system,
which will not at once and forever settle
the silver question on basis satisfactory to
the American people. BISMARCK, speaking
for Germany, declared to our Judge
KELLEY, of Pennsylvania, the other day
that the demonetization of silver was q
great mistake, and that q proposition to re-
monetize it "will not need protracted con-
" sideration; its acceptance will be imme-
diate.' Here, evidently, is Secretary
EvARTs' opportunity. As the New Yorl;
Mail suggests, Secretary SHERMAN is the I'M
questioned hero of the fight for Resumption
but Mr.. EvARTs will be entitled, if he
seizes the chance now presented, to like
prominence in the settlement of the silver
question by process of diplomacy.
