DEMOCRATIC DISHONESTY.

The dishonesty of the Democratic party
in this State is proved by its alliance with
the Greenbackers. The national Democ-
racy adopted at Cincinnati platform
which declares for maintaining hard money
and pledges the party to the full and
faithful discharge OF the public debt. In
the very teeth of these professions the
California Democrats have placed them
selves on the Greenbackers platform of
notification and Reputation, and their
candidates have the impudence to appeal
to honest voters for their suffrages after
having thus paraded their utter lack of
principle and sincerity. Nothing could
demonstrate the untrustworthiness of
Democratic professions more clearly than
this act. 1t is made perfectly appa-
rent that they have no longer any convic-
tions. They are willing to trade with any
faction from which few votes may be
got. and to get those few votes they
unhesitatingly fling behind them even
the declarations of their own national
Convention. No Greenbacker can stand on
the Cincinnati platform, but Democrats
find no difficulty in occupying the Green
hacker platform, and the reason of this is
not far to seek. 1t was the Democratic
party which in 1868 proposed to pay off
the National debt with deprecated paper.
1t was the Democratic party that produced
Pendleton. Every financial heresy, every
fraudulent proposition that has been ad-
vanced, has had its birth in that party. 1t
has this year pretended to be in favor of
honest money, but the true inwardness OF
the party is illustrated in the Greenback
alliances, and not in the Cincinnati plat
form. The Greenbackers propose meas
ures which would break down resumption
which would cheat the public creditors;
which would destroy the present admirable
banking system of the country, and re-
store the vicious and clumsy old State
Bank system which would drive gold
out of the country, and reduce US to
a silver standard which would de-
preciate the currency, thus robbing every
one; which would bring us to re-
pudiation and national bankruptcy.
All these arc naturally Democratic meas
ures, for Democracy and currency heresy
have been Synonymous ever since the close
OF the rebellion. 1t is time, therefore, that
the Democratic affinities should be clearly
understood, and also that the journals
which make a pretense of RepubEcanism
while fighting the fat money battle should
60 where they belong The Republican
candidate for the Presidency is an honest
money man. The Republican party is an
honest money party. Those who advocate
Greenback propositions can have nothing
in common with this candidate or party
They are Democrats in sympathy, and
they are making the Democratic fight. 1t
would be much more to their credit If they
ceased to affect convictions which they
evidently do not hold, and took their
place with their Democratic friends, the
fiat money regulators and approvers of
currency swindles generally.

THE GRAND-LAMA THEORY.

The Nation calls the belief that Pres-
Dental candidates ought not to participate
personally in the canvass the Grand
Llama theory" and the designation is not
infeIicitous. The journal cited is also
clearly of opinion that it would be good
and proper thing for General Garfield to
take the stump, and that it would elevate
the Presidency very much if the practice of
making all Presidential candidates speak
were adopted. 1t says: =" L Presidential
candidates had always been expected
to justify and commend on the
stump the party nominations, there
is very little doubt that the prac-
:" tice of nominating obscure and
" mediocre men and keeping them in strict
"seclusion till the election, would never
"have sprung up and the candidate, on
"the other hand, would not have been
able, as he is now, to protect himself
"against all responsibility by taking shell
ter behind the party" This practice
would also obhge parties to make plat
forms capable of being explained, and
would force them to define their views
clearly upon all vital questions. The
Presidential candidate would then be prac-
tically in the same position as Mr.. Glad
stone held during the last parliamentary
canvass. He would lead and guide it.
The country would then obtain better Pres
idents and more honest party platforms,
and politics would gain in defniteness and
force There is no reason that we can dis
cover why General Garfield should not lead
the way in this wholesome change OF prac-
ticc He is eminently capable of marshal
ing his party in the field. He understands
every issue thoroughly. He is an orator
of the first rank. He is also statesman
of mastery force and ability. His en-
trance into the canvass would assuredly
bring to it an immense access of enthu-
siasm and energy, and in our opinion
would be productive of unmixed good to
the Republican cause and to the country.

CURRENCY FIGURES VERSUS fANc1Es.

Our evening contemporary continues to
amuse itself with all manner of wild calcu-
lations, based upon the assumption that
there are $500, 600 of coin in the
Treasury. As we have no time to waste
in disproving arguments based on fallacies,
we must request our contemporary to deal
henceforth in figures which correspond to
some real state of facts. The truth is that
there is not now, and there never has been,
any such amount as $500, 600, 600 in the
Treasury. The public debt statement is.
sued on the first of this month showed that
there was then in the Treasury less than
Sl99, 600, 600, including cash of all kinds.
OF available coin there is but Sl55, 440, 457,
and of this amount some SIXTY eight mill
ions are in silver coin and bullion. When,
therefore, our contemporary proposes
paying out 5000, 600, 600 in the discharge of
matured bonds, and still leaving $780,
600, 600 in the Treasury, it is simply
talking nonsense, and attempting to
deal with situation which has
no existence outside of its own fertile but
erratic and unreliable imagination. When
our contemporary has had time to digest
these facts, and to perceive their bearing
upon the curious calculations with which, it
has for some time been solacing itself and
amazing its readers, we shall be happy to
proceed a few steps further with its fnan-
cial education. In the meantime, however,
we must recall its attention to the circum-
stance that though we have been at some
pains to disabuse it of the fallacy under
which it labored in regard to the demone
tization OF silver, and though we conclu-
sively disproved its unwarrantable asser-
ton that that measure had been procured
"by fraud and STEALTH" it has not yet
made such frank acknowledgment of its
error as was to have been expected from a
journal which so frequently processes to
seek the truth alone.

PREMATURE CALCULATIONS.

The New York papers have already be-
gun to figure upon the changes IN Con-
gressional representation which the appor-
tionment under the new census will bring
about. The World has led off with an
estimate based upon the alleged returns
from the South, and by very free use of
the peculiar talents OF its celebrated arith-
metician it succeeded in demonstrating
that the Southern States would secure
large gains, and that almost all the North
ern and Western ones would lose. The
Herald has now followed suit, and claims
that the following States will lose, as indl-
Gated Alabama l, Florida l., Georgia l,
Louisiana l, North Carolina l., South Car
DINA l, Tennessee l, Maine l, New Hamp-
shire l, Vermont l, New York 8, Pennsyl-
vania 3, Ohio 2, Indiana L. The following
States will gain, according to this estimate:
Missouri l, Texas 3, Michigan !, Iowa 2,
Wisconsin |, Minnesota 2, Nebraska l,
Kansas g. California and Oregon l. This
gives is losses and II gains, leaving the
aggregate nearly the same, but of course
causing considerable actual change in the
distribution of strength. Seven Southern
States will lose l apiece. Seven North
ern States will lose II. Two Southern
States will gain 4, and eight Northern
States will gain 10. But it is evident that
all such calculations are premature. At
present it cannot be known what the re-
suits of the census in the South are. 1t is
quite possible that it will have to be taken
again in several States, and it Is not GER
tain that any trustworthy returns from
that region will be obtained. 1t is evident
that the Southern Democrats had made
their calculations upon an undetectable
system OF fraud, and now that they have
been found out they may prefer to defeat
the taking OF genuine census rather than
submit to that reduction of their repre-
sentation which the ascertainment of their
decline in population must lead to.
