THE PRESIDENTS REASONS.
What He will Probably SAY if the Sen
ate Presses Him in Regard
to Suspensions.

Regarding the Republican Senator
ial caucus Oh the subject of removals,
the President, as Air. Lincoln once said,
is not going to cross Fox River until lie
gets to it; but he has been anticipating
that the Senate would call upon him
for reasons for suspensions, and has
been in consultation with members Of
his Cabinet and various Democratic
Senators. Senator Harris AIaxey and
Vest discussed the situation with view
to carrying out in the Senate any
course that might be determined upon.
The President proposes to ascertain
clearly what lis rights and privileges
are and to stand up for them firmly.
1t is probable that III case the Senate
finally goes 50 far as TO adopt Il reSolu-
ton Calling upon him for reasons for
suspensions, he viii briefly reply that
the officials regarding whom inquiry is
made were suspended because in his
opinion the good Of the public service
required it. II the Senate does not re-
gard this information Us sufficient it
can if it chooses, reject nominations of
successors TO suspend officials or fail to
act upon them. 1t has no other re-
course.
The Senate in confirming William \.
Beach for Collector of Internal Revenue
in the Utica district, vice Armstrong
suspended, established a precedent that
may bother il some. Secretary Man
ming, i'll answering the Senate commit
tee S request for reasons, replied that
Armstrong was suspended under au-
thOrity conferred upon the President by
section l,76S of the REVISED Statutes, |
because he believed that the public ser
vice would be benefited by change in !
the Office referred to. The Senate ac- |
cepted this statement as sufficient. and |
1t viii get similar response in a ma
lOrity if not all of the cases concerning
which it seeks information.

army fighting for the flag, and recelY-
ing greenbacks for their pay. and now,
that same buyer of those bonds, insists
that his bonds be paid in gold worth
12O cents. while the crippled and maim-
ed soldier and widows of soldiers,
are compelled to take silver or the peo-
pies money. There is no reason in Ii.
There is no right nor justice in 1t.
The money that the farmer, mechanic,
and the lab0ring men, and the wounded
soldiers. are compelled to receive, IS
good enough for the bOndhOlder.
Some of these gold men in Congress,
and other wOuld-be congressman, are
working themselves up to great sym
pathy for the poor bondhOlder. They
may save their tears, for the people
who have this great debt to pay will have
something to say about this matter.
The people have already been overloaded
with burdens and now proposes that
the bOndholder shall fair no better than
the plowhOlder and labOring classes
generally. Senator Beck has struck
the keynote, and the music is heard all
over the land. The great West and
newborn South are raising their voice
in the chorus Of song, and the people
may well rejoice, for all the signs are,
that Congress will stand by the labor
| ing men of the nation.

Mr. Samuel Bricker.

The following is taken from the
Chronicle, the honorable and Ieadil0
republican paper Of the county, and it
shows SO well the contempt which the
republicans Of Dickinson county have
for him III selling his vote against his
party that we cannot refrain from pub
fishing it:

who know Mr.. BlevinS best, can well
guess whether that influence would be

ing and honest purposes or otherwise.
Mr.. Bricker is at best weak man: a
man utterly unit by nature, education

thought at the time that his party
treated him shabbily in not renominat-
Ing him for Commissioner last fail. but
We have since learned that his party
knew their man, and they very properly
spurned him aside and put up Mr.

fellow, his occupation is gone. and who

Passed Away in All Her Joy.

Miss Kate Bayard, eldest daughter
of the Secretary of State, died suddenly
last Saturday afternoon of heart disease.
Miss Bayard had taken an active part
in the reception at her fathers house
the evening before, and was at the time
of her death getting ready to assist
Miss Cleveland at reception at the
White House that afternoon.
When the President was informed of
the sudden death orders were at once
issued to close the house. The band
was dismissed and tie people in wait
Ing were at once notified that the recep-
ton had been postponed. Ushers were
stationed at the main door and at the

the house was closed for the day.

The Peoples Money.

corn, or pork, he receives his pay in
silver dollars and greenbacks- equally
with banks note and gold. When the
blacksmith shoes your horse, he takes
his pay in silver, and is glad to get it.
The carpenter is paid in silver coin.
The one-armed soldier, who faced the
bullet that our country might live, takes
his pay orp enSionin silver, and there is
no word of murmur from him. The

The anti-salOOn Republicans have
called a convention to meet in Topeka
on the 9th, and from the manner il
which this class is speaking out il
meeting it looks as though they were
determined to be governed by principle

while the following taking from the

General Weaver has introduced a
bill in Congress to equalize the pay of
the soldiers in the late war by paying to
each soldier, or his heirs, sum suffi-
cient to make up the difference between
the value of greenbacks and gold at the
time he was paid. 1t is estimated that
it will require three hundred million dol
lars to fulfill the purpose of this act
should it become a law. The New York
capitalist will not favor this proposition
although their determination not to
take silver for the bonds, many of which
were paid for in greenbacks is more
outrageous.

From the length of Gov. Martin S
message to the legislature he must GER
tainly expect that body to be in session
several weeks. One of the strong
measures to be urged is to incorporate
@ grand jury bill into the laws Of the
state. The Governor in treating on the
subject of prohibition says: There are
some defects in the new law. The fees
of probate judges for the duties they
are called upon to perform, should be
especially defined, and the power con-
ferred upon the officers, to grant or
refuse licenses to druggists. should be
subject to review by the district judges.
The authority now vested i'll probate
judges, in this regard, is arbitrary, and
may be abused, to the detriment of the
public or of individual citizens. But
the general and practical effect of the
new law has been so nearly accom-
plished, that it would, in my Judge
ment, be unwise to make any general
or radical changes in its provisions.

1876 Another scandalous defeat 1886

There was doubtless frauds in the
Cincinnati election on both sides. But
the most scandalOuS fraud and outrage,
overshadowing all others, was the un-
seating of nine Democratic members of
the Ohio House from Hamilton County,
whose rights had been adjudicated by
the courts, and the seating Of nine de-
feated Republicans, in order to give
John Sherman the election for United
States Senator. Without this felOnious
assault on free government Senator
Sherman could not have been sure of
reelection. His own party would prob
Rbly have defeated him. The margin
was not sufficiently wide.
