MR.. GLAscoCK as A FIEANCIER.

When Mr.. Glascock was put in nomina-
ton he subscribed to the Greenback plat
form. among the wonderful propositions
of which are to be found two resolutions,
one opposing the decentralization of gold,
" silver and greenbacks," and another de-
manding the demonstration OF gold. In
his speech here the other evening, how
ever, Mr. Glascock made it apparent that
he had changed his mind, and that he had
invented financial policy of his own. He
now declares that he is in favor OF the
demonstration of the greenbacks. while
he is still in favor OF paying off the bonds
with whatever coin there may be in the
Treasury. a little explanation will show
that Mr.. Glascock's new theory is even
more remarkable than that of the Green
hackers. The latter desire to pay away
all the coin in the Treasury, aud to SUBJ

In CHANcERY. The mysterious woman
in Jarndyce against Jarndyce, who per-
sistently hung about old Chancery with q
bag OF papers, turned up again in Vice
Chancellor Mains Court, London, fort
night ago. She entered during the adj
jonrnment, and having taken her place in
the "well," amongst the solicitors, kept
up running fire of ejaculations. The
burden of her volubility was that she had
been robbed of million OF money. In
dramatic tones she demanded justice, but
not getting it at the instant, she turned
upon Mr.. Bagshawe, @. c., and laid before
him all her documents and all her woes,
greatly to the discontinue of the learned
counsel. When the Judge returned, the
ushers took her in hand and removed her
to the precincts of the Court, where she
resumed her arguments before q crowd of
suffers and witnesses.

have been disposed to say that nothing
could well be worse. He, however, has
contrived to go a step beyond his teach
ers, and deserves all the honor of original
ing the most impossible financial policy
hitherto advanced. For he proposes in the
first place to demonetize greenbacks, and
in the second place to dissipate the
coin reserves of the Treasury. The result of
these measures would be to leave the
country without any circulating medium
at all. Mr.. Glascock has not deigned to
develop his notable scheme so far as to
show how he expects business to be carried
on under his theory, and perhaps it was as
servations to the outlines of the scheme.
He appears to think it possible to pay off
the bonds without first putting money into
the treasury. The Greenbackers wish, on
their part, to pay of the bonds without
giving value for them. It may be said
that here is distinction without differ
ence, but the Greenbackers at least pro-
pose to pay over something which is to
pretend to represent value, whereas Mr..
Glascock would seemingly eschew even
the pretense. As financier we are
obliged to say that MIR. Glascock is not
success. 1t is in fact evident that his
ideas upon that subject are even hazier
than those of the average Greenbacker,
and that is saying a great deal. He has
made an attempt to dovetail hard and
soft money policy together, and as such
union is in the nature of things as impos-
sible as marriage between fire and water,
he has miserably failed. and made himself
ridiculous.

sEED FOR REDoUBLED ACTIVITY.

1t will not do for the Republicans any
where to rest contented with the gains al
ready made Ohio and Indiana are after
all only pointers. They show how the cur
rent is tending, but they cannot make up
for any relaxation between now and the
day of election. Republicans must avoid
the fatal error of counting their chickens
before they are hatched. The fact remains
that unless the solid South can be broken
the Democrats will require no more than At
electoral votes in the North. 1t is there
fore necessary to hold fast every foot of
vantage ground, and to defend the whole
line with equal energy. California is an
important State as things stand, because
its vote may become necessary. Oregon
and Nevada are not less important. 1t
will not do to lose the vote of Colorado.
The indications of solid North will go
for nothing unless the Republican party
sees to the fulfllment of the present pre-
dictions. Henceforward the activity of
the party ought to be redoubled, and
nothing should be taken for granted. The
victories in Ohio and Indiana are the fruit
of the hardest and most thorough political
work ever done in the country. They
were pitched battles between the ablest
politicians in the Union. They should be
emulated everywhere, and instead of be-
ing content with rejoicings over what has
been won, every Republican should lend
his assistance to secure that which remains
to be conquered. There is only one posi-
bic danger now, and that is sluggishness
arising from over confdence. Let it be
remembered that there can be no real
ground for exultation until the sun has set
on the I'd of November upon national
Republican victory. That is the view to
take, and with that spirit there will be no
reason to apprehend failure.

The folly and blindness of the Democ-
racY have been exhibited at every turn.
Their speakers and writers have not been
able to see that the stealing of the South
ern electoral vote was the one dominant
issue in the campaign. They have con-
fined themselves to scurrilous and silly
personal attacks upon Garfield, save when
they have been engaged in explaining the
unreasonable candor of their Southern
allies. The truth is that the party has be-
come so demoralized as no longer to be
capable of perceiving what constitutes even
the semblance of decency and propriety.
1t has passed over the methods by which
the South was made solid as though they
were too insignificant to need defense or
explanation. It's conduct in Maine last
year proved that it has no regard whatever
for the sanctity of the franchise, but it
ought to have been shrewd enough at least
to conceal its contempt for free institu-
lions. 1t has however made no conceal
ment OF its entire willingness to owe the
control of the Government to force and
fraud, and as ii to emphasize its disregard
OF honesty, it has in the teeth of its own
official platform everywhere sought to ally
itself with regulators and advocates OF
crazy financial schemes. And now the
natural consequences of such a course are
beginning to show themselves. Ohio and
Indiana indicate the drift of opinion I'M
mistakably. The Democrats made the most
desperate efforts in Indiana, yet they have
been completely routed there. They can
not make such another fight this year,
and the defeat Of the party is assured. All
their pretenses of public spirit, all their
assaults upon Garfield, have failed to con-
vince the Northern people that party
which begins by trampling down the ballot
in fourteen States can be trusted with the
control of the Government. They
thought to win by making the South
solid, and their main reliance will
De the prime cauSe OF tuSlF ONcTtHTOR.
And this is as it should be, if the Union
is to be preserved. 1t would be idle 70
hope for that if any party were permitted
to destroy the freedom Of the franchise in
any part of the country. The first recog
milton of such a right, the first national
Endorsement of such an outrage, would be
the signal for anarchy and dissolution.
The Democrats have never cared for free
dom. They have never respected the bal
lot save as it could be made to minister
to their designs. They have always been
the party of election frauds and false
counts. They have always been willing to
disfranchise their opponents. And this
the country will not suffer. There must
be everywhere free ballot, full vote,
and fair count, and to secure these in
dispensable conditions of republican gov
eminent the North will be found solid
next month, to very much more purpose
than the South is to-day.

FARsgEING DEMOCRATS.

The number of Democrats who knew
from the first that Indiana would be car.
ried by the Republicans is increasing con-
tinually. Senator Farley made haste to
place himself in this category at the meet
ing on Wednesday night, assuring his au-
dience that he had known what was going
to happen six weeks ago. Considering how
few Democrats expected to carry Indiana,
it is therefore surprising that the party
generally should appear so discounted by
the recent intelligence. And seeing that
they all still expect to win by carrying
New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey,
it is remarkable that the October elections
should have any interest at all for them.
AS for the Republicans, they make no Sc
cret of the fact that they ,cere interested in
the October elections, and they further
believe that they have sound reason for re-
joicing over the results of these elections.
