a SPECIMEN BRICK,

Senator Hill scaritled his party
brethren in a scathlng philippe on
Thursday, the truth OF what he said
pointing IFS sting. Here is specimen
brick Of the many he threw at his |
party leaders. 1t is pleasant reading
for hot weather.
II this is the best leadership which we can
present in this great 1crisis. /, tor one, must
decline 10 follow it. prefer to stand with Jefter
son, and Jackson, and Tilden In opposition to all
income taxes and direct federal taxation, but in
favor ola revenue 'or federal purposes and direct
taxation for state purposes Ircpuliatc the spu-
Ii0us Democracy of these modern apostles and
prophets, who are part muswumps, part Popullst
and the least part Democratic, who seek to lead
astray after false gods, false theories and false
methods. l object to cur restoring a war tax
which the Republicans themselves rejected years
ago, with our appreciation. l protest against
that lack Of foresight and Judgment upon the
part of some protested Democrats who always
seemed anxious to adopt whatever the Repub-
licans and people have repudia ted. Therefore,
those who vigorously opposed the issue of green
backs during the war, bat when Republicans
after the war sought curtail and restrict their
further issue, these men became the earnest
champions Ct q greenback currency, and sought
to merge the Democratic party into greeuback
party. They opposed the policy Of a return TO
specie payments, and then when specie payments
became an accomplished fact, they clamored Tor
paper money. Then. subsequently, they eSpoUScd
the cause of q metallic currency, and became the
earnest advocates OF free Silyer-thc free and IN
| limited coinage of silver: but soon thcrca ter,
with characteristic tckleness unworthy of so good
| a cause, they accepted the Bland compromise
| measure which provided simply Tor limited
| coinage, Then the Republicans in 1890, passed
| the Sherman law, which provided not Tor the
| free and unlimited coinage OF silver the same rs
gold but for a limited coinage, and the purchase
and storage O silver bullion, treating 1t as com
I modify instead Of a money metal-a measure
which violated ever correct principle OF finance.
| Although the Democratic party opposed that

uousIy opposed its repeal in Congress for three

THE recent defeat of Clifton r.
breckenridge Of Arkansas, for re
nomination to Congress is cause OF
some satisfaction. This Mr.. Brccken-
ridge has held a seat In Congress
under circumstances not less odious
and scandalous than those which
attend the career Of the other
Breckenridge from Kentucky, 1t
was he who was the beneficiary OF
the monstrous frauds which culmin-
ated in the assassination of his
Republican opponent, John M.
Clayton and which excited the
indignation and horror of the country
a few years ago. MIR. Breckin-
ridge made no attempt to hunt
down or punish the assasslns Of
Clayton, and the cutting off OF his
Congressional career shows that he
has not profited long by his comm
vance with fraud and murder.

contained a biographical sketch, repub-
lished from the G1cen5ae, Of Boston,
Of the Judges of the Court of Appeals
of Maryland, in which it was stated
that Judge John T. Mason died at Elk
Ridge Landing in 1873. This is an
error, as Judge Mason died suddenly
of paralysis at the Howard House in
Elkton on March %, 1873, immedi-
ately after concluding an argument
before jury in the case Of John Mari
vs.. Ramsay McHenrY, in which he
represented the plaintiff, and for whom
