The Democrats are in danger of
paying too much attention to the Re.
publican twaddle about democratic
blunderS." Timidity for fear Of
laundering is the rock upon which a
party is apt to split. A bold, straight
forward, vigorous policy, founded on
the right, and pursued without vas.
clllation or shadow of turning, is
the condition of success. Such a
course challenges respect, and is
proof against ridicule or unjust criti-
cism. And such policy is what the
country demands at this juncture at
the hands of the democracy.

The Greenback party will not have
a.singlc representative in the Forty
eighth Congress. What has become
of the immense following which the
leaders of that party have always
claimed, We are inclined to think
it has gone where the woodbine
twinoLh." About all the good it ac-
complished since its organization,
was to help the Republicans to keep
in power by dividing the Democratic
votes in close Districts. 1t was an
auxiliary to the Republican party,
and was kept alive by that party, to
help them. We hope now that the
Democrats who are in that party will
see that they have been used for the
sole purpose Of perpetuating the Re
publicans in Office, aud that they will
leave it and come back to the party
to which they formerly belonged.
The thing would not work this year,
however,

the political revolution which struck
its first blow in Ohiu in October, aud
swept through Pennsylvania, New

last Tuesday,
II means four things
/. Reduce the expenses Of every

2. Abolish the internal revenue
abomination.
3. Make the tariff simple and ra,

4. No subsidies, no jobs, and, above
all, no stealing, either by the Admin.

This is the meaning and the pur.

The big organs of the Republican
party are just now husily discussing
the question, how to reinstate the
Republican party in the confidence
of the people. 1t is n hard question.
A few Of them seem to think that il
at the next session of the present
Congress a portion of the legislation
demanded by the country is enacted,
the people will forgive its many sins
Of omission and cummission and trust
it little longer, They are at last
advising the reduction of internal
revenue taxation, the revision of the
tariff, the reduction Of expenditures
and general reform in the civil ser.
vice, as the only hope of saving The
party from overwhelming national
defeat two years hence. These journ.
ais have sense enough to partially
grasp the situation. But even they
seem to expect little from the source
to which their appeals are directed.
A Congress that was so completely in
the power of the tariff monopolists as
to disregard the will Of the people
and by shabby trick continue he in.
EQUITIES Of the present tariff, is not
likely to reverse its records in its last
days. a Congress that stubburnly
refused to take single dollar from
the public burden Of taxation though
collecting a surplus revenue of more
than S150000,000, and squandered
the money i'll appropriations of I'M
paraiieled extravaganza, is not like.
ly to lessen taxation orpractice econ
umy. 4 Congress notorious for Jobs
and jnbbers will be looked to in vain
for reform in the civil service. But
were il possible for Refers Congress
to do what is urged upon it, it could
scarcely right its own wrongs, much
less purge the black record Of Radical
rule, and place that party again in
favor with the people. The people
are tired Of it. They recognize that
it is no longer in sympathy with
them; that it is controlled by and
legislates only in the interests of pol
iticians and jpbbers and favored
class Of monopolists. They have
found that Republican control only
leads to higher taxation, greater cor.
ruption and extravaganza in every
direction. They are ready for u
change and change they will have
at their earliest convenience.-Inder.

Mr. Davis DecIInes.

We are in receipt of the following
letter from Senator II. G. Davis. 1t
will be seen that he declines to be a
candidate for re election to the United
States Senate, preferring business to
politics. We regret this decision on
the part Of Mr.. Davis, for our people
can i'll afford to lose his services in
The councils of the Nation at this
time. and the Legislature this winter
would do itself proud by returning
him to the Senate, notwithstanding
his letter of declination. But here
is the letter and it will fully explain
itself:
PIEDMONT, W. Va, November IS.
Editor Register. l have recently
received number Of letters and
personal inquiries from members
of the Legislature elect, candidates
for the United States Senate, and
other friends, asking if would be a
candidate for re election, and express.
ing their preference for me, il such
was my intention. To all such in
quiries my general answer has been
that for the past two or three years
have often said, in public and pri.
vate, TINT | would not be candidate
for reelection. Business is more
agreeable to me than politics, and
am now engaged in numbering, min
ing, banking and farming, and in
connection with some friends who
are capitalists, living both in and out
of the State, are constructing a rail.
road running north and south
through an undeveloped section. rich
in mineral, timber and agricultural
wealth, and intend, when completed,
to connect the Baltimore and Ohio
and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads.
My ambition is to make a success Of
these enterprises, especially the
building Of the railroad These and
other private matters are reasons
which forbid my being a candidate
for reelection.
In the many trusts heretofore con
fded to my keeping, l have always
endeavored to do my full duty; and
thank the people of the State, and
especially my friends, for the politi
cal honors that have been conferred
upon me. Very respectfully,
II. G. DAVIS.
The Wheeling Register in comment
ing upon this letter, says: "No Sena-
Tor ever served constituency more
faithfully. Mistakes he may have
made, but they were fewer than usu-
ally falls to himwho occupies sim
liar position for an equal number of
years; and Of this we are sure, if mis-
takes there were they were of the
head and not Of the heart. His Bit
terest enemy has never accused him
OF being tainted with any job, or be.
ing unfaithful in any particular to
his sacred trust. All who have
watched his official course critically
will cheerfully award to him the
plaudit: We'll done thou good and
faithful servant The State is the
loser in his voluntary retirement"

all there is in Brazie is ''sour mash
and "blackguardism," aud for this he
is to be pitied.
If, as sundry Republican papers
affect 10 believe, the late overwhelm-
ing defeat of their party will "purify
it through suffering" and cause it to
rise all the stronger at the next cleo
ton, how much more thoroughly
would it be purified" and how much
stronger it would be made by four
or five successive similar defeats? 1t
looks as if the country is prepared to
subject the party to several repeti-
tons of the purifying process" to
which i! has recently been subjected.
The Baltimore Sun says: The in
dications are that unusual prepare
tions will be made for the approach,
ing holiday season, and instead of
the depression and disaster tina. was
predicted in some quarters before the
elections, the outlook is cheeringand
gratifying. The work of building
and improvement has been and is
still larger than at any other period
in the history of the country, and
with a liberal distribution of wages
among an unusual number of well.
paid artisans and laborers, and ex
traordinarily abundant crops, the
substantial prosperity of the country
is undoubtedly assured"
The leaders Of the Republicans will
have time before the Presidential cleo
tion to decide upon arrangements for
the funeral Of the party, and a name
for its successor with necessary issues
and captains to command. Old lead
ers must stand aside, past practices
be ignored in fresh platforms, abun.
dant under the inspiration Of men
who are not even distantly related to
the present order of things.

The stock markets for the past week
has been moderately steady for every
Thing but hogs. The Chicago market
reports open the week with a stronger
market and active demand for cattle
and sheep. OF the former there was
received 29,717 last week and Of the
latter 1868. The hog market opened
slow and lower. The receipts for last
week were go. 192. New York, Gin
cinnati and ST. Louis, all report tins line
of stock weak and lower. The result
of this has been and is to create con-
siderable unsteadiness in the local mar
kets and from the present outlook the
same feeling may be looked for during
the present week. Buyers are now
operating on extremely slight margins
and are governed entirely by Chicago
advices. The markets given below are
all subject to change and are only given
as the price current at time Of going 10
press.
In regard to the future prospects, the
Cincinnati price current figures out the
supply of hogs for winter packing at:
'6 per cent shortage in Ohio, IL pei
cent shortage in Indiana, 8 per cen in
Illinois, 18per cent in Iowa, 9 per cent
in Missouri, 4 per cent in Kansas, 5 pen
in Nebraska, Il per cen less in Ken

Minnesota and Wisconsin there is a

figures it would seem that there mus
be an advance in price before long.
