SENATOR LINDSAY of Kentucky says
she was elected by the gold democracy
OF his State, and that he refused to re-
sign at the demand of the silver de-
mocracy." The democratic party is
now, as it always has been in favor oil
both gold and silver money, and Mr..
Lindsays rentention of an office against
the wishes of the people who elected
him, is as censurable as was,his hsgrant
desertion of his party in its hour of ex-
tremity. He would be in better repute
with the democrats, not only of his
own, but OF all the other States also, il
he had complied with the demand refer

to the outside world that the State is
bankrupt, which is not true as matter
of fact, that it has lost sight of the
possibility of its furnishing fine CAM
paign literature for "our friends the

The REPUBLICANS persist in denying
the fact that old Mr.. Sherman is mere
figure head at the State Department;
and yet that fact is made plain by the
other fact, that in all tie accounts of the
proceedings in reference to the recent
affair of the ex-Spanish Minister, the
name of Mr.. Day, the nominal Assist
ant Secretary, appears, and never once
that of Sherman, the nominal Secretary.
That Mr.. Sherman lags superhuous on
