and from this many have inferred
the reserved right or the general govern

amended to that effect, so that the currency

We have no desire to dispute about the use
of terms or TO follow up bubbles. The term
''fiat money" as We have used it, means of
course the fiat money of the Greenbackers-

"a thousand dollars" and according to the
Greenback theory made a dollar solely by
the printed stamp. 1t is the great virtue of
this money" according 10 its advocates,
that it has no specie basis, and is not re-
deemable. 1t is not ''coin or its equiva-
lent" in the sense in which Webster uses
the latter word, that is, something which will
bring the coin when demanded 1t was this
kind of currency that was so much advocat-
ed in the columns of the Messenger a year
ago, and was pronounced all right by the
Messenger, provided that the flat be the fiat
OF the Constitution. Just in what way the
fiat was TO become the fiat of the Constitu

PeoF T. W. GRAYDoN of Cincinnati has
invented hearing machine which he calls
the audiphone. The continuance is described
by the Cincinnati Gdcette as consisting Of a
small electro microphone, TO the centre of the
diaphragm of which is attached cord which
may be OF any length. To the other
end of the cord is attached u small piece of
wood. The deaf person takes firm hold of
the piece of wood between his upper and
lower teeth and the party desirousof convers-
ing with him talks through the electro-micro-
phone attachment at the other end of the
cord, the cord being held taut. The theory
is that the sound is conveyed through the
nerves of.the teeth and the bones of the face
10 the auditory nerve which, owing to some
detection of the ear caused by disease, is not
approachable through the usual channel,
thence to the brain. The instrument is said
to work well, practically.

The New York Sun says that the move

discovered that there is large detection
from the Republican ranks in the country in
favor of Robinson. The farmers feel CRATE
full to him for his treatment of their interests,

pendent of party considerations. MIR. Kelly,
in his speech at Utica, said that he was not
a candidate because he wanted to be Gov
ernor, but in order to correct Gov. Robin
sons abuses. Coy. Seymour thinks that too
much attention has been bestowed on

of an issue of him. Governor Robinson
tells a New York Herald man that he would

The Result in Ohio.

The result of the Ohio election is one on
which the people of that State, the Republi-
can party, and the friends of honest money
everywhere are to be congratulated. The
Democratic nominee was very popular man,
personally, and his canvass was active and
aggressive. The great Importance of the
election as bearing on National issues added
earnestness and vigor to the campaign, and
the Democrats strained every nerve to bring
out the full party strength. But after all
this, the Republicans have elected their
tickets by a handsome majority and have,
the latest advices assure us, carried both
branches of the Legislature "A victory
whose magnitude will be more clearly seen
when it is considered that two years ago the
Democratic plurality was 90, 500, and last
year the combined opposition majority over
the Republicans was more than forty thou
sand votes. Our party, then, has made
a magnificent gain, and one giving most
encouraging omen for the great struggle
fast approaching
The result Of the election is hard
money triumph, for the question of the
finances was one of the distinctive issues of
the canvass, and We hope it will forever dis
pose of the Greenback idiocy Practically
the dcadest of all dead issues since the sue
cessful resumption of specie payments, it is
meet and fitting that the paper-money delu
sion should receive its coup de grace in the
Commonwealth where it originated, and that
the ''Ohio idea" should find its grave in
its cradle. As formidable political organi
cation the Greenback party no longer exists,
and the long and hard-fought battle for
honest money and the National credit is
closed, never TO be recommended in the life
time of the present generation.
Again, the result is vindication of stall
wart Repuhlicanism, for at the opening of
the canvass Mr. Foster placed himself
squarely on that platform The Re
publIcans of Ohio are in accord
with the vast majority of their party
elsewhere in believing that the Constitution
is to be upheld and the laws enforced that
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are
guaranteed TO every citizens whether living
North or South of Mason and Dixon's line ;
and that the freedom of the elective fran
chse must he secured throughout the coun-
try and armed interference at the polls and
other features of the "Iazoo plan" repressed.
Finally, this overwhelming Republican
victory is token not only of the peoples
confidence in that party, but of its distrust
of the Democracy. The latter party has
been tried and found wanting. After several |
years complete control of both branches of |
the National Legislature its leaders have APP
pealed to the people and the emphatic con-
demnaion OF four great States-Maine, Cali |
fornia Iowa and Ohio-shows the popular |
distrust of the Democratic party. As the
Tribune well says, while all the currents in
the Ohio campaign had their effect, the one
mighty cause of the Republican victory was
the profound conviction of the people that
the interests of the country would not be
safe for the next four years in Democratic
hands.

The St. Adams Messenger makes note
of the views of a New York Republican who
thought that the curse of the country was
that a man with money and tact for spend
ing it for his own benefit is worshipped by
the people" He gave his own views as to
this matter by saying Il do not want to
vote for a dishonest man because he is a
smart man" The Messenger considers this
straw showing popular leaning tow
ards men who are in every respect worthy Of
public position rather than towards men who
carry their point by reason of money, or that
uncertain quality known as 'smartness.' "
That 'leaninE.' it is 10 be hoped, is not con-
fined to New York State. In some parts of
Vermont, we are sorry to say, there has been
considerable leaning the other way.
