ton. The other side is that the course
referred 10 ought to satisfy all the friends
oi a sound currency in the Democratic
party that such a crowd is not the one in
which they should train. The dodge that
Ewing's partisans are attempting to play
oil is to pretend TO the friends OF good
money that the financial question has been
settled by the resumption OF specie pay
ments, and that they Therefore can vote for
Ewing on general party grounds, without
reference to the greenback question. This
they do while appealing to tho Green
hackers to support him because he is one OF
them. The reason why Ewing was nomi-
mated is because he is rcactionist on the
money question, and because he does not
intend that the resumption OF specie pay
nrnts shall provca success he can bring
about Legislation to break it down. Ills elec'
ton would be regarded MS q verdict in
