Gus but feeble, resembling Tammany's
hostility TO Tilden at ~. Louis and
Cleveland in Chicago. The Governor $
speech in accepting the nomination was
prepared with great care, evidently,

his own administration, including the
ripper Legislature, and, second, the de-
nunciaton of the Republican policy of
protection.
The discussion of State topics docs

hard pressed before he gets through the

prosecution will be pushed with viQor

cussion beyond the State lines. The

really significant part of the Governors
speech is the tariff feature OF 1t. He Is
far more cautious than Mr.. Thurman
He wants to return TO "the tariff OF
Washington" and the policy OF Garfield.
The platform avoids the use of the
phrase, "for revenue only" but uses an
exact synonym for it, "a tariff levied for
the sole purpose of producing revenue
sufficient to defray the legitimate eX-
penses Of the Government honestly adj
ministered." Gov. Campbell shows a
reluctance to stand sluarely on the
platform built for that purpose, but he
will no doubt come TO It, lie cannot do
otherwise.
The Republicans, by nominating Ma
Jor Mckinley on a platform OF his own
framing, threw down the challenge OF n
contest over the tariff issue, and the
Democrats accept that line of battle
But IL Is no secret that they are far from
being at all confident of victory. They
recognize i'm private the fact that time
has exploded much of the powder they
used so effectively last year. Some mis-
representation can be practiced still but
the great campaign OF lies cannot be du-
plicated, and the Democracy will find
that a powerful reaction has set in.
The country will await with intense
interest the result of the election in
Ohio. 1t will be deeply significant "a a
prophecy for 1892. In Iowa the local
issue of prohibition will enter largely
into the contest, but Ohio will fight out
the battle on national ground. There
will be no perceptible detection from
either party.
Ohio is q Republican State on a full
vote, as its record has abundantly shown.
There is every reason TO anticipate
full vote this fall on both sides, almost
as full as at Presidential election. The
Republicans must see in the plain indi-
cations in that direction q happy omen
of victory. -Chic1gO Inter Ocean.

democrat qualification in Ohio.

The Democratic demagogueS at Cleve-
land passed one resolution denouncing
1.-THE Republican billion-dollar Congress,
which by eXtraVagant expenditures eX-
hausted surplus in the National Treas
ury, left there by Democratic admins
tration, and created deficit" and then,
without hesitation or reservation, passed
another approving of unlimited pensions
TO soldiers and sailors and 10 their wild
ows and orphans. In one breath they
denounce what they call the billion-dol-
lar expenditure and in the very next
opening of their mouths pledge them
selves to increase the chief item which
caused the billion expenditure in two
years. The Chic political charlatans
followed exactly in the track of Iowa
charlatans, voting in one resolution to
condemn what they call "extravagant
eXL enditure" and in another TO increase
the causes of that expenditure! The
pension appropriation, which has
now reached S135, 00C, 900, and the
large deficit handed over by the
Cleveland administration, amount
ing to some twenty millions,
were the principal items in this expendi-
ture, and every Northern Democrat and
all the Southern ones from States where
there was any considerable number Of
Union soldiers voted for these items
which now strike these Ohio demagogues
as so eXtravagant. And this has been
the method of Democratic procedure
from the beginning of pension legisla-
tiOn. All Democrats who were not rebels
have voted for every pension law that
has been passed since the war closed.
They were in power for four years,
and did not even propose to repeal any
pension legislation, but in their last year
they willfully failed 10 appropriate
enough to pay the pensions for which
they had voted and the Republicans had
TO make up many millions of deficit. In
the face of this record these Ohio hum
bugs have the assurance to charge the
Republicans with an extravaganza for
which every Northern Democrat in Con-
gress voted, and the hypocrisy, or some
thing worse, to put in plank pledging
themselves to increase the item which
necessitates the large expenditures Do
they think the people of Ohio are idiots?

WnIfuI Mistakes of Weaver.

Gen. Weaver of Iowa went long way
from home to talk. to the people Of
Georgia. In his speech at Americas, in
that State, he denounced the destruc-
tion of the currency made by Secretary
McCulloch as "the greatest sin and curse
of the age" and quoted as authoritative
the statement: Twenty. five million peo-
pie and two billion (of money! among
them at the close Of the war. 1t was
burnt up, and Understanding bonds
issued instead. Credit was substituted
xfor money, and in 1873 the panic came "
The man is as equally wild in his sta
Nistics as in his arguments. At the close
of August, 1865, the total debt less cash
i'm the Treasury was 81, 756, 431, 57l, that
being the maximum point reported. The
interest bearing portion Of the debt was
SO, 3s1, $50, 2o4. The paper circulation
was then S577, 2Oi, 900, one.uuarter of
which was national bank notes. In adj
dltion TO that total of S370, 900, 900 Of
7.3O Understanding notes had been is
sued as cross Between notes and bonds,
but owing TO the heavy interest they
bore they were practically kept out OF
circulation. While some Of them passed
from hand TO hand i'm payment tor prop
erty purchased, they were never cur
rency, and as for the other bonds they
were for too large amounts TO be used in
tho course of ordinary business. So
that. deducting what was held in the
Treasury, we had just about S525, 200,
600 in actual circulation. And this was
among 1000, 600 people. instead OF the
much smaller number talked about by
