Having secured an inviolable pledge
Of the payment OF United States bonds In

They have no right to demand that the
bonds shall be still further greatly increased
In value by the decrease In volume OF
money, which would result from the de-
mOnciization of silyer-the destruction OF
silver as money. A decrease In the volume
Of money means corresponding rise in
priccs-that is, an increase In the paying
power Of the dollar, as compared with

ANOTHER VICTORY FOR THE BLUE-EYED
Boy OF DEsTINY.-As soon as IL was ascer-
tanned that Col. Entrekin had been elected
representative in the general assembly from
this county some Of his friends began TO
urge him to make the race for speaker OF

with favor from his fellow members who
were consulted, and 1t did not take him long
to feel thathe had a call, as 1t were, to preside
over the house. He Immediately com
menced an active canvass, and pushed his
claim with that energy, persistence, and
tact for which he has long been noted here
at his home, and his canvass was crowned
with success.-[The Scioto Gazette, Chilli

but not all of which we have alluded to).
