Tnr widest current of enthusiasm

THE widest current of enthusiasm that was ever seen or felt in Ameri- ca will be seen when the announce ment is made from Chicago of the nomination of the old ticket, Tilden and Hendricks, and then there will be no power that can prevent it's election in our opinion but the ac tual death and burial of your Uncle Samnel.

NEVER weary in well doing

NEVER weary in well doing. This excellent adage encourages us once more to remind our neighbor of tue Reflector, that he has not answered that question in regard to his politi- cal antecedents yet, and especially in regard to that little matter of his being greenbacker in Prairie coun- ty. It is not public scandal by any means to be greenbacker, oh no: The curious point about the matter is that a democrat CD of twenty five years standing would suffer such a rumor to float at large without as much as simple dcnial. The i'm maculate skirts of this great apostle of democracy (?) will get besmirched unless he hastens to their rescue. Come, my friend, crawl out of the sulks. One with such stout convic- tions and such outspoken independ ence as you claim to have, ought to exercise fraction of such qualities in cases of emergency.

 Correspondence of the Democrat.
 l believe as many as three writers in the DEMOCRAT of the 9th have no ticed my questions, but not one of them has told what tho principles of the democratic or republican party are. "Mr. Tobev reminded of the past" "A prophecy fulfilled" and Democracy defined" are all eva sions. As to myself, it is of no consequence as to how l expounded democracy 2S years ago. I admit that democratic principles do not change, but do deny that any par ty Is controlled by the principles laid down in platforms years ago. call on every democrat in the conn- ty to read and compare the various platforms promulgated by different conventions. We hear great deal about "thc time hoDored principles of the democratic party" One of these was opposition to banks of is sue. That grand old hero, Andrew Jackson, vetoed one monster with $35, DOC, 900 capital. Now we have over two thousand "Monstersn with $400. 100000, and you will look in vain for any effort to abolish them or one word in your platforms against them. The tariff aud free trade are frequently entirely ignored or mild protection advocated. You and some of your correspondents say "let us reason together so say l. I assert that there is not better democrat than myself in the state, and l defy democrats and republicans to show when x how l have ever deserted democratic principles. l assert that democrat leaders have led the party of after false gods and away from democratic principles.
 If had stuck as close to party, as 1 have to democratic principles, should not be the subject of so many jeers and inuendoes.
 Allow me to remind you all, that no amount of ridicule, denunciation or burlesque can amount to an argu- ment, and only shows the weakness of the ones who make use of them.
 Allow me to remind your readers that every one of the doctrines of the greenbackers can be found in democratic platforms, and that if the G. B. party IS failure, so is the democratic party, but John Quincy Adams said, mo vote cast for prin ciple IS lost"
 If the democratic party is an anti monopoly party, let it say so and nominate Thurman or Seymour and I assure you, and all your readers, that will vote it with an open tick ct. The same of the state ticket. Is it not better to stick to principles winch never change, ihan Co stick to party right or wrong?
 II our leaders could be induced to return to true democratic doctrines. to advocate free trade, abolition of national banks, control of railroads and repeal Of all class Legislation, there will be no more third parties, nor any need for them. Your read CTS who know me best will not doubt my sincerity, however much they may condemn my course.

THERE is q warning voice all along the line agalnst the policy of turn ing the farmers organizations known as the "Wheel'' and .Brothers of Freedom" into mere political ma chimes. The warning is sounded by the best newspapers in the State and the best friends of the farmers. Ii it shall fail to be needed, it is only a question of time till politics will destroy these bodies. They will be come the prey of ambitious dema- gogues who, under plea of advancing the farmers interests, will use them for their own aggrandizement.-A kansas Democrat.
 True, every word. Politics is something that must remain outside of any and all secret societies. It is against the spirit of American insti- tutions for politics to be fostered in secret socIeties. As long as the B. of F. kept within the scope of their original purpose, they commanded the respect and confidence of the country, but when they enter the arena of politics, they will do that which the sober judgment of intelli gent men must condemn, and that which will drive from the order the intelligent masses of :he country, especially the democratic masses, and this of course, will disrupt the order.

Columbus, o. . March 20--The recent |
attack made upon a certain member of |
the Ohio Flood Relief commission by
Allen o. Myers, charging that good
Nv sum was sought to be sent to the re-
lief of political and not flood sufferer,
and which would have been successful
had the treasurer OF the commission
not refused to honor the drafts, brought
out n card from the treasurer, Mr. i.
W. Huntington, to the effect that lie
had not declined to honor any drafts
of any member of the commission,
and also sending in a report OF
the committee TO the legislature,
was the cause of MIR. Myers arising IN
the house this morning To question
Of privilege and having the card of
! Mr.. Huntington read by the clerk.
After paying tribute TO Mr.. Hunting
| TOMS modesty and general merit, and
rs man who deserved all the praise
| that could lac given him, Mr.. Myers
reiterated his charges that one of the
commission, Mir. Charles Constantine,
had sent to MIR. Huntington a list of
names of people TO which he desired
Mr.. Huntington 10 send drafts in the
sums set opposite their names upon
the list, and that Mr.. Hunting
ton wisely and honestly re-
fused TO send out the drafts. Mr..
Huntington had been called upon by
the governor and his appointees to
give the commissioner certificate of
good character aud he had kindly done
SO, but he did not deny the charge that
MIR. Constantine did send such list OF
names for the purpose charged, but
stated only that he had sent out no
such drafts. The purpose of the reso-
luton adopted by the house was 10 as
certain to whom this money was to
go. If it was to proper persons then
the certificate of character was
not necessary, and this list of
names, when presented TO
the i.0ection Of the house, would
have been scli-explanatory. Myers
said afterwsrd privately that he wanted
the commission to explain Why they
should have given the money appr6-
priated for relief of the people OF Onic
20 the mayor Of Newport, Ky, who,
. according to their report, had been
given 5000 Similar items he want d
explained. Constantine was one ol
, Bookwalter's managers. and was hand
aud glove with him in that memorable
contest. Myers claims that the amount
: sought to be sent To the political suf
fefers was ABOUT 81 600.

A Prnhnhle Groundlesa Rumor.

TIE report has gone abroad that
some of tho counties indebted to the
state. as borrowers from the permanent
school fund, have defaulted on the
frat pay ment of interest. 1t is said
the Austin Statesman first gave cur
rency to this rumor, although we do
70, recall seeing anything Of the kind
in the Statesman. AT all events the
Austin Capital denies that such de-
faults have been made, and the GA
zErTE bureau Mt the capital has not re-
ceived information TO that effect. we
must conclude that il any difficulties
have arisen they are purely technical
and not traceable to any connty's ina
bility or indispositlon to comply with
its obligations to the state. II such a
thing were to occur II would be sweet
morsel on the tongues OF those who
opposed the lending of the school
money to the counties. They would
mover weary of saying ~ told you so. "
From the best information attalnab!e
they will be deprived of the unctious
pleasure OF growing over the states
mistake. The counties are solvent,
and there is NJ reason Why tho state
should not get is money.

The GAZETTE is nstonished that the
Galveston News should quote para
grarh from Palestine paper and
parade il M "a threat of the GA
ZErrE's to antagonize deep water ut
Galveston, unless the latter city shall
abandon lis pretensions to the state
Democratic convention. Those who
read the GAZETTE regularly know that
1t never did anything so silly or Intent
perate. From the very inception Of
the movement at Galveston for secur-
ing deeper water the GAZETTE has
been the sincere, Jealous and Outspoken
friend Of the measure. The News
knows this, and more than once lis
columns have borne witness to The
fact, by the republication of what the
GAZETTE has said on the subject. The
GAZETTE claims to be broad gauged in
its ideas and aspirations. Deep water
at Gal weston is II state measure of the
broadcast brneiicence and scope. Th,
| GAZETTE would favor the lIads or any
other proposition that gives promise o
securing the desired end, If it knew
Fort Worth would never entertain I
Democratic convention. And we pre-
fer to believe that the News and PEG
pie of Galveston, on reflection, vii
credit the GAZETTE with sincerity II
