A further evidence OF the Registers

that our neighbor stopped short with the

showing that gold was the recognized
standard and redemption money:
"Tho whole Democratic party cried Itself

that those issued should be redeemed In

dreds Of similar testimonials that can
be cited. We leave It for the public to
Judge, and TO the Registers own con-
science, IL in view of the last quotation,
our nelghbor has done justice to Grants
memory in Its juggle with his inaugural
