COMPTROLLER of the Currency Knox, at
Washington, regards the stability of the
national bank system as assured at last.
The fact that the bank question is not
more prominent issue in the campaign in
noticeable movement now in the currency is
the great inclination on the part of banks to
pay out coin instead of currency whenever
tits possible. Payments in gold are increasing
in number. Western bankers pay out cur
rency with reluctance, and California bank
ers bill for it. The latter use it instead of
exchange to settle their Atlantic coast bal

EX-GOVERNOR SMITH of Arkansas. at the
rooms OF the National Republican Commit
tee, New York, said to an Evening Post rep
resentative, 81 do not think General Han
cocks letter will have any effect whatever
In the South it will possibly disgust few
Democrats, but it will have no effect upon
the result, for that has been decided al
ready by the managers of the campaign. In
the Northern States do not think it will
have any effect, for those persons who have
decided to vote the Republican ticket we'll
know that if the Democrats have control of
the executive and legislative departments
the executive will have but little to say in
these matters.

A. Fraudulent President



The idea of having in Gen. Hancock
fraudulent President does not seem to have
occurred to our confident Democratic friends.
who are attempting, with rather poor
success to keep up the cry of fraud against
President:Hayes. But, if they should win by
small margin, as we have no doubt they
would give pretto sum to be insured of do
ing, despite their loud boasting, it will be inn
possible for them to seat Hancock without
giving to his title to the office taint of fraud
which they have been unable to affix to Presi-
dent Hayes. The Democratic hope for sue
cess rests upon their securing, substantially
without expense or effort the 1888 votes of the
solid South. With New York and Indiana
they would thus succeed by seven ma
lority in the electoral college. This is ex-
actly the number of votes cast by South Caro-
olina. But does anybody doubt that, ON "a
full vote, a fair ballot and an honest count"
South Carolina is Republican? No such pre-
tence is made by the Democrats of that State
who add to the courage of their opinions
frankness in expressing them. Is there any
room for honest doubt that Arkansas is Repub-
lican under the conditions of voting that exist
at the North? The Democratic vote returned
hom tulS Otdtt mas Jumpeu from l9,Uio IN 1905
and 1892 in 1872, to 5S,O71 in 1876, and any
where from 10000 to 100000 this year, accord
ing to local Democratic ideas of the necessities
of the situation and the limits of prudence.
The same thing is Htrue of Mississippi, and of
other States of the South that need not be speci-
fed. The processes by which they were made
and are kept Democratic are perfectly well
known, and have been acknowledged by
'indiscreet" members of the ruling class"
who justify the means by the end. Now,
if the suppression or reversal of
the popular will of an entire State does not
constitute fraud and a wrong far surprising
in iniquity the action of the Republican re-
turning boards in 1876, when they prevented
such a consummation by the arbitrary exercise
of power conferred upon them by the laws of
their States, then there is no such thing as
degrees in crime. No President has ever yet
owed his success to the subversion of what
was known to be the will of the people of any
State, as it would have been expressed on "a
full vote, fair ballot and an honest count"
If Gen. Hancock shall do so, will he not be
fraudulent President? And what will our
Democratic friends say about it?

CAREFULLY compiled statistics by DIR.
Redfield, competent authority, show that
the number of homicides in the Southern
States has reached the enormous aggregate
OF forty thousand since the war, and that,
continued through a generation, the destruc-
ton OF life would be equal to the great war;
Since the war more people have been killed
in the South by the pistol and the knife than
have died of yellow fever, the rate of mur-
ders to population being far in excess of
that in the Northern States or in England

PHILADELPHIA Press: The Democratic
State Committee of Alabama has issued an
address approving Hancock's rebel claims
letter and declaring that the party in that
State is committed to an acceptance of all
the results of the war. This is either a Jug
gle of words or downright falsehood. The
Democratic party of Alabama, as was re-
Gently shown by its denial of suffrage to the
negroes of that State, and of free speech to
the visiting Greenback orators, and by it's
neglect to provide system of education for
its children of both colors, has not the faint
est conception of what were the real results
of the war, nor the shadow of an idea of
what constitutes the equal rights of every
citizen,

In the National Sena tie, soon after the
Democrats came into power there, a resolu-
ton was offered that Union soldiers should
not be discharged from places held there
except for just cause. The resolution was
lost, 25 Republicans voting for it and 81
Democrats against it. 1t was then moved
that no Confederate soldier should be ap-
pointed to Office about the Senate chamber
in lieu of a Union soldier. This was de-
feated, 26 Republicans voting for it and "a

THE following extract is from the Jack

Barksdale, chairman of the Democratic
State committee and leading supporter of
Hancock. See what he said of his candi-

ing the war were composed of thieves, from
the highest general to the lowest drummer
boy or teamster." Barksdale's sentiments
are commended to tie notice of Hancock

The Glover Leaf.

The brooches, done in base metal and en-
amel, which Democrats wear on their coats
just now, are, it is averred, Intended to rep
resent the trefoil, or badge of the Second
Army Corps,-in which few Democrats
served, for most Democrats were striving to
break its lines and kill it's members. In
reality it represents to the Democracy the
lucky four-leaved clover of popular super
stition, which has been stumbled upon in
wandering through strange fields. And
here in Maine, it is not only worn on the
breast but put up over the Democratic door
way in hope and strong expectation that the
Greenbacker will be the first eligible party
to cross the threshold.
As the badge of the Second Corps the tre-
foil has little claim upon the sympathies of
the Democratic party and can only be re-
garded by that party as "reminiscences of
war they denounced as unnecessary and un-
successful and as waged by fanatics and
hirelings. But it now possesses an entirely
different significance. To- them it means
Sin clover" and they interpret it as they
would a punning heraldic device. 1t signi
fies the possession of many offices, the draw
ing of large salaries, the enjoyment of the
power and patronage of the Federal Gov
ernment. That is the inducement held out
to men to sport it. 1t no longer represents
an assault upon the Rebel lines. 1t signi-
fies an assault upon the Federal Treasury.
1t is no longer borne by M II striving to put
down Democratic rebellion. 1t is borne
by men who are seeking to place the De-
mocracy in power. Once it was a badge of
the Union army. 1t is now one of the in
sigma of the Rebel hosts. That is the
base use to which the clover-leaf has been
brought. To-day it is worn on gray caps,
not on blue The badge of the Second
Corps has become the symbol of the rallying
Confederacy of a Democratic restoration.

been treated for seven years by various physicians
for what they call Structure of the Urethra with

Doctor at once removed the foreign bodies with the

entire treatment was eminently successful, and
Mr.. Tietsell's recovery was rapid and perfect.

seamen on the .opproach sof a North AZ
