running for the Republicans, andI don't

dali ought TO know, IL anybody, for no

Democratic party IT. present attitude,

but recognising the fact will not help
the Democracy. On these two questions,
which are one at bottom, the Democratic
party has taken Its position, and 1t can

TIE DEMOCRACY AED THE CURRENCY
QUESTION.
Mr.. Hayes has expressed the opinion
that the defeat Of Tom Ewing In Ohio
will not take the currency question out
of politics. "There will always be an
element" he says, "that will want
kind Of money which IL cheap TO make
and easy TO get. The Republican party
can not cater to that element, but the
Democratic party can and will. With
one million voters OF that class In the
country, We may expect the Democrats
to continue their present policy OF
attempting 10 win them by indorsing to
some extent their theories" There 10
undoubtedly Q certain amount OF truth
In this. The currency question ~ not
wholly out Of politics, and will not DO 80
long a. the government continues In the
busiuess OF issuing legal tender
notes. A decision BY the Supreme
Court in the Butler. ChiLtenden case that
congress has no power under the consti-
tuition TO issue legal tender notes would
do more than any other thing TO take the
currency question out Of politics and
keep Il out. It IL Q question, however,
whether the Democrats will hereafter
consider the GreenbackeTs worth win.
ming. The Ohio experiment In Its out
come IL not calculated 70 encourage the
Democrats in the policy Of catering to
the Greenbackeys, nor Il 10 calculated to
encourage the latter TO keep up their
organization. Still IL Is not unlikely
that, Notwithstanding the dTubbing ad.
ministered TO them In Ohio, the Demo.
Gratis will distinguish themselves when
Congress reassembles by making war on
the national banks and clamoring for
unlimited coinage Of silver on private
account. Beyond that they will not be
apt TO 20 In their efforts TO win the
Greenbackers-Chieago Times.
A YAZoo INDEPENDENT DEMOCRAT TELLS

A letter has been received In Wash.

Of Mississippi who IL represented as one
Of the ablest and worthiest men In that
state. Judge Hudson's letter 10 In reply

what 10 called "The Independent or
Pacific Democratic party Of Yazoo
county" TO become Q candidate for the
legislature. Judge Hudson declines the
invitation in o letter which admits all
that Republicans charge as 10 the situa.
ton in Mississippi. Judge Hudson de-
plores the exodus, and draws q strong
picture Of the effect upon the south OF
the emigration Of It's laborers. Tracing
the causes, Judge Hudson says: "When

HOW SOUTHERN DEMOCRATIC OFFICIALS
CoNsPIRE TO DRFRAuD THE GOVERN
MRHT.
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
Raum has received Q letter from one OF
the officers of the internal revenue bu-
reau IN North Carolina announcing the
fact that indictments had been secured
against six officials Of that state, at
Greensboro, for interfering with United
States officers In the discharge Of their
duty. Some time ago some Illicit wills.
Ky was seized by the revenue agents, but
was at once recovered by the distilleTs
through writ Of replevin Issued BY the
state Judiciary, In direct violation OF Q
United States statute, which places such
seizures out Of the jurisdiction OF such
Wrlts, and this began 70 be the regular
practice among the moonshine distillers
OF that section. As fast a. the govern
ment officers seized their Illicit whisky
they would regain possession OF II BY
wrlts Of repleyin. Now, In one case the
justices Issuing such wFits have been In.
