Party Policy and Not Political

devotion to pubic plumber and moth.
ing else. They shift positions when
ever they think their chances for
party success will be improved by so
doing.
Just nowsthore:seems to be differ
ence in the position of the Grant and
Blaine factions on the Southern
question, which they claim to be due
to difference of opinion as to facts
and principles, but it is really due
to nothing but question of party
policy. The Blaine faction have no
faith that any of the Southern States
can be taken out Of the Democratic
column and see no hope for party
success except in 'United North. F"
For this reason they want a bloody
shirt campaign that will revive the
passions Of the war and keep alive
the fires Of sectional hate.
On the other hand Grant and his
brigadiers believe that some of the
tsouthernstates can be detached and
united with the Republican column
by treating them kindly and in that
way make up for Northern States
quite sure to go Democratic. They
don't believe it will be good party
policy to keep up a sectional warfare
and therefore urge that the ensan-
guined garment may be folded up
and laid aside. Grants speeches in
the South and of the South all point
to a purpose to gather q portion of
the Southern States into the Repub.
lican fold. If the Grant managers
believed it impossible to carry any
Southern State they would be as
rampant as Blaine in waving the
bloody shirt and warning on the
Southern people. On the other hand
if Blaine believed the chances for
party success would be improved by
a peace policy towards the South he
would be among the foremost in Of
fering taffy to Southerners.

tariff legislation. including that Of
the much needed reduction Of duty
on material for the manufacture Of
paper. This Congress has shown
itself ready, on more than one occas.
sion, topass a moderate bill of tariff
reform, but the Committee Of Ways
that are dark and Means that are
despicable has successfully frustrated
the House in its effort to improve
the tariff during six months Of this
uneventful session, and it now
wishes to force an adjournment, see
ing that Congress is disposed to act
without the Committee. The Com
mittee argues that, if the session con-
tinues beyond the assembling Of the
Presidential Conventions, Congress
will resolve itself into stump speech
pandemonium, though it is difficult
to understand how Congress can re-
solve itself into a condition that
characterizes it now, and has char
acterized it since its earlier, and, So
called, better days. Those better
days of Congress was a period before
it was subjected to the fierce light
thrown from the pages Of six thous-
and newspapers.
In the Senate the week has been
chiefly taken up with a discussion of
the Kelloog-spofford case, in which

The Democratic Situation.

The St. Louis Post.Dispatch sums up
the Democratic situation in an arti.
Gle, but which We do not entirely en-
dorse. We have very little faith in
the clark horse" theory, as we think
it would be the very height OF folly for
the Democrats to take candidate of
whom the people know little. They
need, and must have, q candidate
who can bring strength acquired by
himself to their party's aid. One
thing which amuses US is that the
Post Dispatch, though a Seymour pa
per for policy's sake, allows its real
preference to crop out in its casual
allusion to "the great name Of Bay
ard" 1t got along without any ad-
Jectives in abiding TO the other can
didates. We presume from its fail
ure to mention the name of Mr.. Sey-
mour 1t has become convinced of the
fact that he is not in the contest. 1t
is well to have that idea dropped, for
though Mr.. Seymour is probably
dearer to the great mass of Democrats
than any other man living, he has
no strength outside the Democratic
party, and no special hold on the en-
thusiasm or affection of the younger
generation now potential, if not con-
trolling, in our politics.
No one appreciates this last fact
and its significance more than the
venerable New Yorker himself, and
he recently publicly advised the
young men of his own State against
taking up old mems quarrels and
urged them to give their support to
q man who had made his reputation
on the really vital issues of the
the present. 1t is not fair to Mr.,
Seymour to be advocating and drag
ging him out into public life again,
but most the papers doing it would
probably be engaged in something
far worse if they were not booming
Mr.. Seymour, SO We suppose there is
no ground for complaint SO fur as
the public interests are concerned.

Let the Convention which assem-

with harmony and good
feeling. In nominating the county
ticket let none but good men be
placed upon it. The most important
offices is that Of Representatives in
the House of Delegates. The next
legislature elects a United States
Senator, and it is important that
men of sound discretion be nominated
for the House Of Delegates. We have
good material for these positions, and
we should nominate them.

If the correspondent of the Noun.
tain Herald gives o correct account
Of the Democratic meeting at Prince
ton, in Mercer county, on the LIST
inst, we can only say that such a
meeting was the most outrageous
travesty on county convention
that We have ever known. The Her.
AIDS correspondent says that nine
men, citizens Of Princeton or imme-
diate vicinity, came together at the
blowing of a horn, and without any
public notice given to the people,
and constituted themselves county
convention and appointed delegates
to four different conventions for FIVE
districts, from four Of which there
was not a man present; and instruct.
ed those delegates to vote in the sew
eral conventions for four different of
fees. If this is true, we should think
that the Democrats Of Mercer would
very soon disavow and correct such
an attempt to deprive them of q
voice in public matters. If it is not
true, then the statements of the Her
ads correspondent should be at once
contradicted and corrected by some
responsible Democratic citizen or cit
liens Of Mercer. We hope that the
statements are incorrect, for other
wise it would be very discreditable
thing to any one engaged in it, If
the convention had been regularly
called after due public notice all over
the county, and only nine or even
a less number had chosen to attend,
then they had q right to act. If,
however, no public notice had been
given by the properly authorized
committee, then the action of the
meeting was and is void. We will
look with interest for response of
some kind from Mercer to the Her
ads correspondent -Kanawha Ga
sstte.

Shall silver be Dclnoneiized
AR;lin2

ASaalns
The New Hampshire Republican
Convention adopted resolution in
favor Of basing paper money on gold,
which is equal to saying that silver
should be demonetized again. Evil
dences multiply on every hand that
such is the purpose of the money
kings if the Republicans succeed in
getting control of Congress. The
fact that it was once demonetized by
a Republican Congress and restored
by Democratic Congress affords a
strong presumption of what may be
expected in case Of a Republican
triumph.
The constitutional standards gold
and silver, and it will never do to
have the basis of our financial struct.
ure contracted one-half by striking
out the silver. Experience has dem
onstrated that about three dollars in
paper can be successfully foated on
one dollar in specie. 1t follows,
therefore, that by demonetizing sill.
yer we not only contract the curren-
cy to the extent Of the silver with
drawn but Of the paper also, based on.
the silver. Such reduction in the
volume of currency would greatly
enhance the purchasing power Of
money and thereby adds to the
wealth Of the creditor class and to
the same extent deplete the debtor
class. When you double the purchas-
ing power of the dollar the debtor
will be able to pay but just half as
much on his debts, by the sale of his
stock or productions, as before, while
the creditor will be able to buy as
much of the necessaries of life with
the one-half, as he could before with
the whole, and thus save one-half of
his debt clear.
The debtor classes have been
through this experience once already
and will not be likely to desire an
other. They will have to be on their
guard, however, and watchful, or it
may be sprung on them again. This
characterization scheme will not be
put forward openly. Its advocates
will try to cover their purposes un-
der glittering generalities and carry
the election, if possible, on other
issues, and then, having got the pow.
er, will place our finances on the
gold basis exclusively. If the PEG,
pie want to retain the constitutional
standard of gold and silver they must
see to it that the party which de-
monetized silver once does not have
an opportunity to do it again. En-.
