Il. F. Lancaster to the Athcnians

As his ringing tones fell on listening ears,
smiles of pleasure, covered faces of green
back partizans. Therepublican party" said
he "does not know where chain lightning will
strike it next No wonder readers of the
Kennebec journal and Somerset Reporter are
deluded since the columns of those sheets
are filled with error. Our increasing bonded
Indebtedness will soon crush us. All of our
bonds were purchased in greenbacks; por-
ton only were payable in coin. The remain
der by the legal tender act were payable in
legal tenders. All of our greenbacks are
that all notes in which time of payment is not
specified are so payable. Resumption is a
fearful crime of the republican party"
So argued the speaker, but doubt filled the
mind OF your correspondent and his thoughts
were a follows: Does resumption mean
simply that the nation shall pay its green
backs on demand? Yes. Are they legally
payable? Yes. Mr.. Lancaster saws so
and say |. Is it wicked to so pay them?
Yes, says Mr.. Lancaster, but no, say |, for how
can it be wrong to do as we have agreed?
Resumption is simply keeping our word and
We oupnt W KEEP IL. MI Linn says ne Ia
vors issuing thirteen hundred millions more
of paper, but Mr.. Lancaster saws grcenback
platforms oppose irredeemable money Yet
some of our Nationals think greenback plat
forms were made for the tender party in their
wake. Does resumption settle all the finan-
cial questions! Ycs--under it it makes no
difference whether the bonds are paid in coin
orin paper redeemable in coin on delaaad In
haton of redeemabe money would be inn
possible, and ''you cannot" says Lancaster,
'fnd any greenback platform that advocates
irredeemable money" Yielding that and
greenbackers have yielded everything. Is
resumption a success? Yes, the Frightening
business prospects since 70 came in, show
that the straight path leads gradually up
ward
Truly, Resumption, thou art suffering
child! Thy miraculous birth and the bless
ings thou bringest, cannot atone for the fear
full injury thou hast done the greenback
party. Around thy devoted form has ragged
the whole financial battle. Let thy solid bas-
tons remain and greenbackism will lie in the
embrace of death. Under it if butter shall
increase in value that increase will be real
and not fictitious. 1t will not depend upon

character 1t was an affair strictly be-
tween Kalloch and the would-be assassin.
No party encouraged, instigated, or was
responsible for De Young's shooting.
In the case of Dixon the shooting was
done because he was a candidate against
the regular democratic nomination. y
democratic mob demanded his withdrawal
as a candidate and threatened his life If he
did not. He did withdraw and leave the
county, bat subsequently returned and
resumed his candidacy, and the result was
that he was assassinated. His quarrel
was with the bulldozing democratic spirit
of the South, and that spirit slaughtered
him just as it has thousand of others who
have dared to oppose it.

and great enthusiasm manifested.

What "a Bank Depositor Thinks.

TO the Editor If the JoU,aoi.
Our city was thrown into great connection
Saturday. Bank men, merchants and mad
politicians threw off their hats, pulled their
hair, foamed at the mouth, CRASHED their

citizen charged with great trust was true
to that trust, and gave an alarm when he saw
danger, when lac heard the cry Of the COM

to the securities, on which the interest of
seventy thousand depositors in twenty mil

banks and other moned institutions be car

thousand depositOrs in our savings institu-

Discussion between General Hall
and Col. Harper.
SHArLEIGu, Aug. -, 1879

t'htflfi'u. AUX 100
To me 3nor Of The heaHeJec JouWai:
We have been not little surprised at see
ing the reports in grecnba,k papers regarding
the discussion here, between Gen. Hall and
Col. Harper. Aug 18th.
4 correct report of the meeting was for
wardcd for publication: but somehow we
have not seen il, and therefore desire to saw
and we believe not only republicans but
grecnbackers as we'll. will agree with us when
we say that il was the decided opinion of
nearly all the large audience. that Gen. Hall
not only completely demolished the Illinois
tramp. but did 1t 10 the satisfaction of Harper
himself who for the last hour of the Genefals
closing speech. sat with his head bowed. and
although numerically la,hed arragncd and
denounced, never once looked up. Every
intelligent man who heard the debate, simply
laughs AZ the greenback reports that have
been published.
The manner in which Gen. II. turned the
attempt of certain disorderlv greenbackers
who attempted to interrupt him for the pur-
pose of breaking up the meeting. to our hen
eft. was extremely pleasing to every repub-
lican present. During this encounter, when
the General found it necessary to speak with
determination, and force Il venerable green
hacker arose and in strong language de
nounced those of his party who had made the
disturbance. \ man who last year voted for
Smith, remarked to us the next morning,
''when the meeting began, the house was
about evenly divided, but when Gen. Hall
closed. it appeared as though they were near
ly all republicans. REPUBLIcAN.
