Use OF the Veto Power.

Commenting on the exercise of
the veto power by the President,
Senator Daniel says:
"The use Of veto-power by the Presi-
dent to defeat policies that have the
favor of Congress has done much to
prevent union on a candidate, and
Democracy ought to combat the idea
of President dominating his party
with the veto power, SO as to open
the road for the union of it's forces.
jefferson never vetoed bill. This
country is so divided in sections and
so heterogeneous i'm interests that
Congress alone can evolve these COM
promises, which are essential to
peace, order and good government /;
and Presidents distinguished for We
toes will neverstrengthcn their party,
solve difficulties or bring the country
to cOnciliatOry measures. Congress
has been paralyzed because it could
never concentrate its efforts to con-
struct measures with Presidential
veto almost certain, unless those
measures originated with the Presi-
dent. We must get more Demo-
cratic if we ever expect to unite De-
mocracy, and we must oppose the
use of the veto-power. except against
unconstitutional and hasty legisla-
ton. If Congress is not to be looked
to as the originator of legislation,
representative free government is a
failure. The British people would
never tolerate king or queen who
dictated to Parliament, and the
American Democracy can never
thrive with President that dictates
to Congress-"
Though under the English consti-
tuition the king or queen has the
power to veto an act of Parliament,
it is nevertheless true that for three
hundred years the power has not
been exercised, and now were the
Queen TO veto an act of Parliament
il would produce a revolution. The
power is virtually a dead letter in
the constitution.

Dave Goshorn, the invincible Green.

clares that this is nothing but trick
on the part of f. w. Staunton. his
opponent for the county clerkship,
and that he will at once employ
counsel and resort to the courts to
compel the committee to enter his
name on the ticket. The committee
ruled Bill Dave out on the charge
that he is not Republican. Be
this as 1t may, he is as consistent as
good many other politicians of

lions are controlled not so much by
conviction as by desire for office

reelection and think you entitled

your election if you run. l had not
thought of becoming a candidate for
the House, and do not desire to en-
ter the field for the Senate, though
believe my chance for election is as
good as any other Democrat in the
district. There is much response
hility in holding office, and as much
disappointment in politics. There
is but one thing that would induce
me to run and that is to be put in a
position to assist in securing good
and wholesome laws to govern our
people. Now, | want to say to you
frankly, as a friend, that / would
rather you would make the race than

A Here is our
guess at the money plank the Re-
publicans will adopt at st. Louis ::
They will declare that they are bI-
metalists favoring gold and silver
as standard money; that they favor
the use of gold, silver and paper, a
dollar Of one being as good as a dol
lar OF the other; that they are OPP
posed to the free coinage of silver
until this can be secured by interna-
tlonal agreement, until which time
they propose to maintain the exist
ing gold standard. Take a note of
this and see how near we come to or
how far we miss the mark.

Currency, Hon. JAS. II. Echels, ad :
dressed the bankers and business
men at Cincinnati on the 18th on the
money question. He declared that
what the country needs is rest from
continual currency agitation. This
is doubtless true, but there will be
no rest from this agitation until the
popular demand for reform is fully
met. Mr.. Echels also declared the
complete elimination of the free sill
yer idea and the firm establishment
of the single gold standard to be the
prime essentials to the return of pros
perity. He favored the payment of
all outstanding demand obligations
OF the government in gold, the re-
tirement of the greenbacks and de-
clared that the banks alone should
issue paper money, which they
should at all times be ready to re-
deem in gold.
