The letter of Secretary Manning to
speaker Carlisle in reply to the Bland
resolution is clear and explicit, and
states his position in uncquiyocal Ian
~uage He is u confirmed bullionist,

lie desires such Il system
IF coinage rs will give the country an
honest bi-mctaIlic currency. Mr.. Man
ning's way of treating the financial
question is the simple way, the easy
way and the honest way. Such doe
thine was good doctrine in the DAYS of
Tom Benton and ii is good doctrine
o-day. If congress would lee GOV
rIncd by it we would have Il currency
system which it would take no learned

which would prove an incstimable ben

The financial question and the tariff
are often spoken of rs questions too
deep for common understanding; but
il is only by i'll advised and hurtful
legislation, or through false notions
In regard to them that they become

trctionists would have It's believe we
can do, that would be a burden upon
nobody, and would enrich everybody,
IS indeed Il hard problem to solve: but
how to levy tariff and other taxes to
support the government is not So diff

which does not cost somebody its par
value, is also question which iinan-
cial iugglers may attempt to answer.
But how to secure an honest currency
based upon coin, as Mr. Manning
Would have is Il far more simple matter.

BeatTice's letter, after having been De-
rused and commented upon by tue Talberts,
was sent on to Frank Carruthers- A note
from Herbert was inclosed with it. 'You

unsatisfactory as its predecessors. It gives

The following is from The North
Iowa Times, published at McGregor,
Iowa: A telegram in the daily pa
pers informs us that Rock Rapids,
Iowa. at the municipal election held
on Monday, gave democratic major
ity of fifteen, the first time democratic
in the history of the town. 1t will
doubtless be remembered by the readers
of The Times that in 1880 an item was
published in this paper to the effect
that sam H. Fay had cut the democrat
ic ticket from The Times and voted it
at Rock Rapids, the only democratic
ballot east at that election in that pre-
cinct. Surely The Times ticket has
borne good fruit, and the county seat of
Lyon county will prosper by the change
that has come about by the clip from
The Times, forming the only democrat
ic ballot in that precinct.

Hon Gilbert NJ. Woodward has been
generally mentioned i'll connection
with the democratic nomination for
governor. There is every reason to
believe that Mr.. Woodward would
make an exceptionally good candidate;
but we must take exceptions to the
talk of some of onr exchanges about
forcing the nomination upon him. A
nomination at the hands of the dem
ocratic state convention next fall will
be no empty honor, and will not have
to go begging. If Mr.. Woodward would
be pleased to lead the fight in the COM
ing campaign, it would be right an
proper to nominate him; but if not,
there are many other good, popular
democrats who would deem it an honor
Ia head the ticket.
