CAMPAIGN POINTS FROM TIE N. Y.
The Republican who isn't q stalwart
may as we'll climb a tree till a year
from next November. The procession
will 70 over him if he doesn't.
Hendricks thinks the Ohio result will
have no effect upon Presidential candi-
dates. As he speaks for himself he is
entirely right, for how could it affect
those already dead?
Gen. Garfield says the Greenback
party has passed away like the faint
recollection of dream. Rather like the
lingering perfume of an over-ripe egg.
The Democrats were eager to zap
peap to the people for verdict on their
struggles for an untrammelled ballot-box
to stuff: Well, tho verdict has begun to
come in, and its tenor is that the people
think ballot-box which allows a man
to vote only once is good enough for
them.
The Democratic statesmen were sure
the "people were behind them" in
their extra session work. They were
right. The people took that position
with business purpose.
THE PROSPECT IN NEW YORK.
Senator Chandler has returned from
New York, and is jubilant concerning
the political outlook in that state. He
predicts that it will give $4,000 Repub-
lican majority, and is sure for 1880.
DEFEATED BECAUSE DIsLOYAL.
Says Speaker Randall, if he is cor
rectly reported: "The tide seems to be
running for the Republicans, and don't
see how we are to check it," Mr.. Ran
dali ought to know, if anybody, for no
other man did more than he to give the
Democratic party its present attitude,
half repudiating and half revolution,
ary. His was the hand which moved
the levers when Democrats in congress
committed themselves to a stubborn
fight with the executive on a question
which they professed to consider more

will probably say, with the Washington
Post, "1t is about time for the Demo
cratic party to recognize the fact that
this is hard-money country" Soft is,
but recognizing the fact will not help
the Democracy. On these two ques tions,
which are one at bottom, the Democratic
party has taken its position, and it can
not change now if it would. 1t cannot
undo all that its revolutionary adhe-
rents have done at the south, nor can it
blot from their minds all the teachings
of the last ten years on the money ques-
tion.-Neao York Tribune.
THE DEMOCRACY AND THE CURRENCY,
Mr.. Hayes has expressed the opinion
that the defeat of Tom Ewing in Ohio
will not tako the currency question out
of politics. "There will always be an
element" he says, "that will want
kind of money which is cheap to make
and eoey tn eat The Rernhlican Marty
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 to win them by indorsing to
some extent their theories" There is
undoubtedly certain amount of truth
in this. The currency question is not
wholly out of politics, and will not be so
long az the government continues in the
business Of issuing legal tender
notes. A decision by the Supreme
Court in the Butler. Chittenden 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 it out. It is question, however,
whether the Democrats will hereafter
consider the Greenbackers worth win
ming. The Ohio experiment in its out
come is not calculated to encourage th<
Democrats in the policy of catering K
the Greenbackeys, nor is it calculated t.
encourage the latter to keep up theil
organization. Still it is not unlikel,
that, Notwithstanding the drubbing ad
ministered to them in Ohio, the Demo
, Gratis will distinguish themselves whe'
Congress reassembles by making war OF
the national banks and clamoring to
unlimited coinage of silver on privat
, account. Beyond that they will not D
apt to 20 in their efforts to win tn
Greenbackers.-Chicogo Times.
