A Democratic View Of the Nationals,

perfect coalition between the two wings of the
Greenback party formed at Chicago, night be-
fore last. At late hour General james B. Weaver
was nominated for President, and B. j. Chambers,
the Texas gentleman who was placed in nomination
for the vice-Presidency by the POmeroy convention
in this city few weeks ago, was given the second
place. A mort hopeless ticket could hardly be con-
ceived, and yet it might poll votes enough to throw
the election into the House. Weaver is at present
member Of the House from Iowa. He is if ifanything,
a more rampant infationist and cOrn-stalk fnancier
than Hendrick b. Wright. Some time ago he intro
duced in the House measure to pay all the men who
served in the army and navy during the civil the
difference between the deprecated greenbaeks which
they received for their services, and gold. 1t is est
mated that this bill would have taken from tho
treasury billion Of money, and would have bank
rupted the entire country. On the strength of this
ll-sdvsed, idiotic proposition, effort has been
made to secure for Weaver q degree of favor among
ex-solders. The scheme hasn't succeeded very well
for no ex-soldier Of common sense has been found
who fails to recognize the fact that Weaver is dem
agogue of the most offensive type. 1t is rather sats
fying to know that before the Kearney convention,
which nominated Weaver and Chambers dissolved,
socalistic plank touching the inherent right ofman
to the soil inserted in the platform. The right of
to the soil, and to much of il he can hold
and take Of has not been sufficiently recognized,
and but for the timely action Of this convention,
thousands Of persons might have gone for another
year filed with conflicting doubts this important
question.-St. Louis Post Dispateh, Dem.

WE STAND JUSTIFIED.

Since the Chicago Convention, some newsps-
pers aud quite a number of individual Republi-
cans have expressed the opinion that we are too
should not kick him when he Is down; and that
we will only injure ourself by SO doing. When
we 90 into anything in earnest, we 60 in with ali
our might; and we were very earnest in opposi-
tion to the third term conspiracy, (for SO it now
deserves to be ealled.) 1t may be that sometimes
we overdo the thing, in our zeal. But il we had
any misgivings of this sort regarding what We
have said of Grant, We now feel fully justified,
and we think that all earnest Republicans will
bear out in il, when they know the circum-
stances.
Immediately upon the nomination Of Gen. Han
cock by the Democratic Convention, Grant was
interviewed upon the situation, and at once ex-
pressed the opinion that Hancock would be elect
ed. 1t was included in the report, that he said
he would vote for him i; but that is evidently in
conect-indeed, since Grant himself has no in
terest in the election, it is doubtful whether he
will care enough to vote at all. But will not
every true Republican unite in saying that this
expression from Grant, under the circumstances,
displays all the marks of the ''wet dogiD Grant
may think that Hancock really will be elected,
and may not know any more about it than any
other man in the land, and his opinion be en-
titled to no more weight but, after being defeat
ed for the Republican nomination himself, this
expression betrays the pent-up, disappointed
malice that he tried to conceal under his bull
dog stolidity. 1t is much as if to say: "The
Republicans refused to nominate me; now let
them see what they will get for IL and il will

The Morals of The "Chief.s

The HOltOn Recorder gives us good notice, but
adds that the moral tone Of the Chief is not al
ways up to the standard. We beg leave to pro-
test. 1t may be that the Recorder means that we
frequently speak out in language more forcible
than elegant, and not acceptable to the most fas-
tdions, of the tea-table sort, or that is shbck
ing to the feelings Of false modesty. If 50, the
charge may be too true. But that harms nobody,
or corrupts nobody morals. Corruption Of NOR
ais usually arises from vices indulged in by high
toned society, and language couched in polite
terms. Never has the Chief advocated immortality,
or given advice that would lead to wickedness or
immortality. Our harmless jokes, even though
not at all times the most elegant have never led in
that direction. But, looking back through years.
we call to mind many instances in which the
morals Of the Chief have worried pious people.
We are tempted to give few examples.
A number of years ago, man came to us, say
ing he had boy he wanted to put at the print
ing trade, and would like to put him in the Chief
Office, if it was not for thing. He understood
that we were given to telling smutty stories, and
as the boy had been raised religiously, he did
not want to put him where he would be corrupt
ed. As we had not solicited him, we agored that
he might send the boy where he pleased. So he
apprcnticed him to two men, one Of whom, short
ly afterwards, had his head broken for being
found in bed with another mans wife, and the
other died q drunkard. But the sons morals were
preserved. He now chews tobacco like grass
hopper, and swears like an army in Flanders,
and so does the father. We do neither.
We know man who religiously abstained from
faGinO tI,a .f mt m niuto
n family. That man now has three or four daugh-
ters carrying on business on their own account.
We believe they are ''milliners."
citizen of this County has often expressed
the wish that there was County paper fit to
take into family. He needed County paper,
but the Chief was not fit to go into family of
girls. A friend of ours took dinner at this mans
house, not long ago. At the table were three
grown-up daughters, the mother, and the old
grandfather, the latter of whom did not scruple
to keep up disgusting discharge of artillery at
the table, whenever he felt like it-and it seemed
to be good day for the artillery business. The
Chief would ruin that family.
A gospel-masher once undertook to break the
Chief up in business, because of its bad morals.
He generally manages to steal from and swindle
every man he has dealings with; one of his priu-
cipaI members says he would not believe him
under oath, and he has frequently been watched
going to and coming from doub tful premises at
late hour of the nigt.
Another half-horse preacher in the County is
in the habit of believing against the bad morals
of the Chief, on every occasion. We are now
waiting for him to demonstrate to the public
that he is bogus all through. 1t is bound to

II 1t takes the Greenbackers a long time to
find out that they are dead. They have called q

Hancock in command Of the military district Of Lou
isiana and Texas Ii while there, and BY his
official action n that capacity, that he won the aec
tons of the Southern Democrats which have at last
secured for him the nomination of their party for the
Presidency. Hancock took the part of the Southern
whites against the policy Of the government. In
stead of employing the army for the protection Of
the freedmen and the white Republicans in Louisi-
and Texas he took the ground that in the then
States Of the South in the North
the civil authorities should rule He became promi-
