We are not biased or hid, bound Democrats.
If man be honest, true and steadfast in his
belief and principles, be he Democrat or Repub
lican, we can admire him tor it; and between US
there can exist warm personal friendship. We
also hold that man may change his views and
still be man. If he be Democrat, and is
honestly convinced that the Republican party is
working for the best interests Of the country
of the people then he has right to change TO
that party if he so desires. If he be Repnbli
can and becomes an honest convert to Demo-
cratic principles. feeling and believing that party
to be the whole peoples friend, feeling that they
are laborng 10 protect the people against Mo-
nopolistic rule, then he is right TO change. Such
changes as these arc honest changes. IT'S the
right of free American citizen to think, act
and vote as he pleases. No man will cen
sure such changes as these But when men
who were born under Democratic sum-
who were educated, from childhood's happy
hours up to manhood, to believe in and admire
those time-honored principles of Democracy ;
when such men as these leave their party and
become candidates on theoppesition ticker, for no
better reason than that they have some personal
nominees-or that they are poor and need the
money, and are still Democrats, but are just at
Ter the id niggcrs vOtes-or that they are
true Democrats and only run on the other ticket
so as 10 keep some Republican from being
elected-we say that these men are not true;
they are not honest; they are traitors, not alone
to the Democratic party, but to themselves, and
to the party from which they have rec eived their
nominations Yes, they are gully OF rank, all
round treason. They are guilty in the sight of
man and in the sight of God. and if their con
science does not now smite them for their double
dealing, they are indeed hardened in sin ard du-
plicty. Such treason as this is odious in the
extreme, and all true men, white or black, Re
publican or Democrat, will on next Tuesday
help to teach them lesson which they will not
soon forget

A GREAT CATCH.
Government Detectives Run Down q
Gang or Bold Counterfeiters.

OStectiYeS Kun Down q
Gang OF Bold Counterfeiters.
DENVER, August 22d.-The arrest yes
terday at the muZzle of a pistol at the
Windsor Hotel of three counterfeiters I'M
earths one of the biggest sensations of the
kind developed for many years, and frHs-
irates scheme managed by counterfeiters
in Chicago, Denver, Santa Fe and San
Francisco. aHd, it is believed, in New
Mexico.
The three men arrested arrived in the
city in the morning, one coming from
Santa Fe, one from Chicago and the other
from further east.
For two weeks a United States detective,
Attorney Hutson, Marshal Hill and a
United States Secret Service Agent have
been aware that the counterfeiters were at
work in New Mexico, and that they would
soon spring the mine, which was to food
both the United States and Mexico with
gold pieces of the denominations of $5, $40
and $40.
A District Attorney named Coze was sent
out to investigate, and succeeded in Join
ing the forces of the counterfeiters, and his
report, which is kept extremely quiet, as
are all the details of the organization,
shows that the band consists of residents of
Chicago, New York and other cities, and
that they were in constant communication,
all correspondence, however, Delng carried
on in Spanish, copies of which Coze Sc
cured, and which are being translated to-
night.
The scheme, so far as krown, is that the
counterfeiters were to manufacture some
good coins as feeler, after which bogus
stuff was to be made of chemical material
which was warranted to wear for a year,
and sold to customers at the rate of 81 200
for twenty-four pounds.
The preparation of which the coins were
to be manufactured had large percentage
OF gold. Agents at Chicago and other points
were to distribute it.
The officers at given signal burst open
the door of the room where the counter
feiters were, and with drawn revolvers
made the arrest. They were taken to the
County Jail and no one allowed TO see
them.
The police refuse to give any informa-
tion until the parties in Chicago and other
points are arrested.
Considerable material, including per-
feet die and some of the money, was cap
tured. Some of the money is of pure gold,
and when tested at the Mint pronounced to
be good.

George William Curtis could vote for Gem

see that all along the line he is strong, and
represents the best interests of the Amer
lean people"
" You travel great deal what do TIE
people think of the outlook generally?n
They believe that General Harrison
will be elected, and find that the people.
majority of them at least, believe in
progress, and four years of Democratic rule
have convinced them that they can't ex-
pect anything but retogression from that
party. The Republicans are progressive in
spirit, and the Democrats are Just the oppo-
site. 1t becomes a question, then, whether
the American nation cares to remain at a
standstill or continue to prosper as il nas
for the past twenty-four years under Re-
publican Government. The Republicans
were wise enough to gather surplus and
they will be wise enough to distribute it
among the people to whom it belongs.

a HOT Debate and High Words Over
Southern Election Frauds.
lcePp1g', 1855, bysas California Asssaated Pres,.I
WASHINGTON, August 22d.-Pbe sensts-
stsseed this afternoon the beginning of a
mighty political battle that bids fair to
MAKE some music for the country before it
IS hnSshed. Mr.. Chandler called up his
resolution providing for an Investigation of
tne Irands which were SO palpabIe IN the
iate Louisiana elections. Neither of the
Louisiana Senators were present. In the
course OF his remarks he took occasion to
refer to the outrages in Washington county.
Tex, lex, "Efeh were latesy investigated by q
aGo-comEslttee of the COMMITTEES on Priv
reyes and Elections. These comments so
ehIaged Reagan and Cooke, the Senators
freIa, Texas, that they moved over
to the Republican side and began To
protest against it. Reagan, in an almost
apoptecac condition, characterized Chand-
lef,s comments as impudent.n He was
called to o'order by the Chair, who requested
him to- withdraw his remarks. which ne
did, aad apo9ogized. He and Cooke gc:
MED, however that the Senator's charges
were true.
Spooner Of Wisconsin, who was Chair
man OF thesub-committee which conducted
the Texas investigation took Chandler's
place andreplied to the Texas Senators in
a speech that silenced them both. He re.
viewed tha testimony offered by witnesses
before that investigation, and stated that he
had received last night from J. C., Moore
the principal witness in the case for the
Republicans, letter stating that he could
not return to Texas since the Investigation.
Tor the reason that his life was in danger.
Spooner dwelt upon the phases of the
testimony, and drove Reagan and Cooke
nearly wild by the explanation which he
SAID he had secured in the investigation of
the lncendiary character OF the trouble
which the Washington county negroes,
who are arrested and hung 5y the mob,
were alleged 20 have been making. The
witnesses for the defense had explained the
inceDdiary character by stating that the
negroes had tried to influence their friends
by showing that il the RepubliG4n party
succeeded they would receive hlgh wages.
but II the Democratic party were successful
wages would be cut down. This was the
doctrine, Spooner said, that was considered
by the Democratic party in Texas as worthy
of death.
AT this point Blair OF New Hampshire
raised most tremendous laugh by rising
and solemnly expressing the hope that the
Senators from Texas will take warning from
this state of affairs in Texas, as revealed
by the Senator from Wisconsin, and vote
for the educational bill, which measure
both Senators have violently opposed in
the past
The idea seems. generally to prevail that
the Senate has entered upon the most vio-
lent political debate of this session.

NEW York, August 22d-An informal
meeting OF the Grain Trade was held this
morning at the Produce Exchange, pre-
vious TO the regular opening of business,
to listen to authorized statements in rela-
ton TO the temporary suspension of S. r.
Post. Mr.. Mcintyre, who had investigated
Posts affairs, expressed the opinion that
by judicious management on the part of
creditors Post would be fully able to meet
his obligations. His wheat contracts
amount to about 100000 bushels, and
corn 500, 1000 bushels. The statements pro-
duced good effect, and the excitement
caused by the suspension soon subsided.
The Ndl and Express this evening figures
out that Post, taking the closing prices
last night and those when he bought. can-
not be out over $4,000, making. it appear
that much excitement has been occasioned
over comparatively small affair. The
market opened at 999, 99l, 99s and 994
After the highest figure had been obtained,
the deal showed variation between 99s
and 99l, but without any panicky indica-
ton. In fifteen minutes the excitement
died away.

WASHINGTON, August 22d. = Senator
Jones of Nevada is hard at work with the

He said to-day to your correspondent that
the difficulties in the way of the prepara-

bears to another industry. The Committee
on Finance, Senator Jones said, was work

might be later even than that day. He
