COL. GREEN CLAY's OPINION.

COL. GREEN CLAY'S OPINION.
To the Editor Of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, Aug. 11.-Allow me a
word as to the ill-natured remarks in
your last issue upon the appointment
of John D. Orear to the unexpired
term of Prosecuting Attorney. Mr..
Orear, as all know, has done much Of
the drudgery of that office and it was
but the fair and decent thing to allow
him the benefits of the remainder of
the term. And having the run of the
Office, his appointment conserves the
public interest. Mr.. Rodgers Is already
assured of two terms of that office, and
from what l know of him l don't be-
lieve he sanctions such ill-tempered
and uncalled-for attacks upon the
Executive of the State.
The fact Is, 1 suspect those who are
ever ready to seize the least occasion
to attack the State Democratic admin
istration are the sole instigators of the
article in question. Governor Stone
was the object of just such malicious
warfare in the columns of the st.
Louis Republic, with the only result to
bring almost solidly to his support the
Democracy OF Audrain County and
the whole State. Now, while he is re-
flecting honor upon Missouri by his
selection to make the notifying speech
In New York to the National nomi-
nees, it comes with bad grace for
Democratic" journals to seize the
most petty occasion to malign him.

The Worst system of Currency.

Right Hon. A. j. Balfour, First Lord
of the Treasury, in his Manchester
speech, said:
"Of all conceivable systems of cur
rency, that ia assuredly the worst
which gives You a standard steadily,
continuously, indefinitely appreciat-
ing,and which by that very fact throws
a burden upon every man of enter
prise, and benefits no human being
