With a dismal groan the Governor
and Steve emptied their pockets and
counted out the money.
"Now, see here, said cabby, as he
closed the door on his victims, '.Ive

at a fashionable Brooklyn bar yes
terday.

said the barkeeper "Try this"
The stranger smelled it ana shook
his head doleiully.
"Do ye think this would make a

eWould a slug Of this pizen get a
f.Ilow to induce his mother TO mur-
der his wife, aud then run for Sher
if, SO as to hang the old woman for
the crime y
Il don't know about that" said
tho barkeeper, "it's pretty strong
auid +"
Il know. But is it strong enough
to make man rob his own daughter
and then lick the daylight out of her
for losin' her money? Would it be
what you would use if you wanted to
salt your wife down and deal her out
in boarding house for honed tur-
key, extra primeY Would you drink

"Here's s some terrible bad whiskey,
if that's Whist you are after said the
barkeeper, putting out another bot
tie.
Again the stranger smelled and
shook his head s1dly
"Tm surprised at yer, barkeep,

THAT'S the worst I've got said
the horrifed barkeaper. "You can
take It or leave it

stranger, as he poured down halt q
pint Of the material without a shud-
der "the facts is, that | live in Da-

in September, 1881, the total receipts of
the New York banks were nearly fifty
six per cent. of the whole, Boston
banks a little over eight per cent,
Philadelphia banks six per cent. and
Chicago banks less than four and a
half. He shows the Clearing House
where banks do business with
each other thus: The transactions of
all the banks on June Both amounted to
over 1924, 100000, and the actual money
employed by them-gOld, silver and pa
per currency-was only $14,OOO,OOO. OF
the $295,OOO,OO0 received by the banks
on September 18th only $17OO0OOO was
in actual money. He adds: "The
Assistant Treasurer in New York has
been member of the Clearing House
but three years, and the large pay
ments to the Clearing House banks
averaged two and a quarter tons of gold
and coin daily during the past year,
which would be about thirty-six tons
daily if paid in silver and transferred
in bags or on dTays from the Treasury
to the banks. If these balances could
be paid in gold certificates instead of
coin the system of bank machinery in
New York would be complete.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1881-12-22

In 1860 the Republican party took
ground against the twin relics, slavery
and pOlygamy." Though slavery as a
social institution is extinct, Republi-
cans continue to regard it as having a
political existence.
The only Bourbon party we know of
is the Republican party. 1t is old Fed
eralism in its worst shape-the tool of
grasping mOnOpOlists. These party lead
ers forget nothing and le1n nothing"
Self aggrandizement is their aim, and
power they will retain by any and all
means, fair or foul. Fraud in any and
every shape is all right, when minister
ing to their needs. They consider 1t
right to steal the Presidency, and Credit
MObilier, whisky rings, moth and other
swindles, as we'll as Star rOure thiev-
cry, not at all discreditable to the Re-
publican party. The party never does
wrong. Self righteousness is a leading
trait in the Republican party, as it was
among the PhaIisees of old. They claim
to be favored of GOd-actuated by ''the
higher aw"-immaculate in all things,
and never making mistakes!
