n. POTrER.

This distinguished Democratic states
man died in New York on the oath Of
January. He was born at Schenectady,
N. Y, in 1925, and was in the ffty-sev-
enth year Of his age at the time of his
death. Mr.. Potter, after graduating at
Union College and the Rensselaer, Poly
technic Institute, entered upon the study
of law, and after his admission to the
bar, commenced practice in New York
City. He rapidly rose to eminence in
his profession and was especially distin-
guished a. q constitutional lawyer. He
argued the causes in the Supreme Court
Of the United States in which the Legal
Tender Act was declared unconstitu-
tionAl. He first entered politics in 1869,
when he took his seat in Congress, the
first political Office he ever held. He
was reelected to the Forty-second,
Forty-third and Forty-6fth Congresses.
having declined to be a candidate to the
Forty-fourth Congress. While in Con.
gress Mr.. Potter always occupied q
prominent position, and few members Of
that body commanded more respectful
attention when they addressed the
House. He was not what is generally
called q graceful or eloquent speaker,
but was strong and logical. While in
Congress he took a leading part in the
proceedings growing out Of the Presiden-
tial election of 1876. which resulted in
Mr.. Hayes being declared President. and
was chairman Of the somewhat famous
committee appointed to investigate the
alleged frauds in the election. Mr.. Pot
ter was n Of the purest as well as
ablest Of the Democratic leaders in New
York, and his loss is a great M to the
party in that State.

yooRuEEs AND SILVER.

Senator Dan Voorhees, made a speech
in the U. S. Senate in the latter part OF
December in which he expressed himself
in favor of the coinage of silver on an
equal basis with gold and the issuance OF
silver certificates for bullion as well as
coin. He scored the President and the
Secretary of the Treasury for their stand
on the silver question, for recommend
ing the repeal of the Act authorizing the
issuance Of silver certificates, thus play
ing into the hands of the National banks,
and in the course of his speech he said;
We sometimes hear from thoughtless
and foolish people that the ~greenback
cause, as it is styled, was q failure, and
that it's advocates suffered defeat. Look
at the Treasury reports for the month OF
Nav, 1878, and for the month OF Decem-
Der. 1881. There were S346, 68l ,O16 OF
greenbacks In circulation in May, 1878.
and there is exactly that amount in circu-
lation now, and it has not varied a single
dollar between these two points OF time.
Does this look like the ~greenback had been
whipped out OF the field? Does 1t not
rather appear to have achieved a great and
permanent victory? In despite Of all OPP
position, Of all hootings, Kisses, execra-
tions and derisions of its enemies. 1t re-
mains q steadfast, undertaking, honored
currency. Its friends have t~riumphed.
and its enemies are reduced to practical II
not silent submission.
1t is refreshing to read the following
unnsrt,san and mat criticism on Mr..
Voorhees, speech by the Republican Sac
ramento Bee:
II the Republicans continue thus to
prove hostile to the peoples currency and
the Democrats come to the fore as its de-
tenders, it is not difficult to see where all
this will end, for the people will stand by
those who defend their currency. That il
human nature, and on no political ques-
ton are the people OF the United States
more determined than that neither green
backs nor silver shall be retired from the
currency. II anything shall be retired 1t
may be gold or National Bank notes, or
both, but it will not be silver or green
backs, for the party that retires either OF
these will thereby commit suicide, and
when such foolish party is dead the re-
tired currency will be restored. II the
Republicans are wise they will cease to be
the tools OF the National Banks and
money-lenders, and will be true to the
people. There are hundreds Of thousands
Of Republicans who, like Senator Teller,
will not abide with 9 party that becomes
the tool of the money spectators = and
the fact that they will not abandon prin-
ciple for party is the best proof OF their
Republicanism.
