was counted out, but as Tilden did not

Democrat was installed. When Partridge
made the vow he resided on the farm now
occupied by T. Howe, and was compara-

He came to Washington, shook hands with

The periodical speculation in, the trade
dollar has commenced again. Ono of the
greatest disgraces connected with the ex-
istence of that so-called coin is the. fact that
speculators can, by combination, put about
any value they want to upon ii. Some
times tradespeople will take trsdedollars at
par. At other times they will not take
them ut more than eighty-five cents. These
changes are generally the result of bulling
or bearing, but when Congress is in session,
and the question Of Tedeeming
and retiring the trade-dollar is
agitated tho cause of its apprecl-
alton is legitimate. As soon as Congress
adiouns without getting rid of tho nui-
sance then the speculator commences his
work again. From ninety -four cents dur
ing the session the trade dollar has been
dropped to eighty-three. Dealers who have
been taking them at par will doubtless now
return to the rate of feighty-fye cents.
