How they Chime?
The following declaration in the Rudicul platform Is very emphatic: No abandonment or depreciation of the greenback currency. And then Fraud Hayes, who is untiring in liis efforts to abandon and depreciate the greenback currency; who vetoed the bill for the remonetization of silver und is pronouuced in his opposition to repeal of the resumption act is as emphatically endorsed in the following: ******** we recognize in liis personal integrity, rn well os iu the general course of his administration, the guarantee that he will conduct, the government so as to preserve the honor and promote the happiness of the whole country. These radicals will insist that the promotion of the houoraud happiness of tho money lords is sufficient good to satisfy the whole country. Best browned Coffee at Catt & Smoot’s. Try it. I Judge Jero Black, ouo of the best Democrats us well as the ablest law- | yer in tho land in referring to the i propose.! election frauds in the South I says: “No doubt Hayes got the Pres■i leney b, fraud, —the fact needs no j further proof- -“but he got it, and has It”— by concession of act of congress -—“which ought to have withheld it from him. Possession under such circumstances is title to every legal intent and purpose. Mr. Hayes is Presided for four years, unless his term shall be abridged by impeachment, resigna tion or death.” There is no intention of interfering with Mr. Hayes, but the Democratic leaders are deteriniued that the people shall know what ras cully means were resorted to by tho Republicans to defraud the voters out of the President that was honestly elected. Go to Catt & Smoot’s for the best cigars and tobacco iu town. The rads pretend tc bo satisfied with the testimony of Mrs Jenks, and express the opinion that she has exhonerated John Sherman an i demolished Anderson. The Baltimore Ga' zetto takes a different view of the case, aud says that “Anderson on the witness stand produced a number of original documents in the handwitiug of Stanley Matthews, and a copy of a letter to John Sherman, and a contract under seal and duly attested and verified by affidavit, which documents implicated Sherman and Matthews, who were the conlidentiel agents of Hayes, with the perjuries and forgeries or the electoral fraud in Louisiana. Sherman on the stand would not deny the authorship of the letter ascribed to him. Stanley Matthews dared not come on the stand to explain the letters in liis handwriting. Tho authenticity of tho documents is thus established beyond reasonable doubt. Anderson tells the story that gives a rationed explanation of those documents. Granted, that his reputation for veracity is not very good; his evidence does not i est on his a Gravity, i ut upon the documents. The documents explain themselves; th; established facts the whole sequence of events, are explained by those documents. Those are the tilings for John Sherman and Stanley Matthews to explain. What Mrs Jenks has to say is aliunde.”
A nice lot of new Jewelry just re ceived at Orwiu’s. Speaking of those who ask a “fiat money —the fiat of the government which will interfere with, and prevent, ihe operations of bond-holders, goldrooms, stock-jobbers, etc., etc from unsettling values, Ben Harrison, a prominent representative of blue, blooded aristocracy, chairman of the late radical State convention, and Johnnie Winter’s choice to fill Voorhees’ place in the Senate, thus refers to them: "We have no asylum for idiots fn Indiana, but I ihink it would bo wull for the next legislature to turn ita attention in that direction.’’ The following, originating with the “ring,” written by the Grand Turk, of Turk Island, and presented by Judge Van’t-Woud, was adopted by the radical o invention of this county, prior the meeting of the State conclave: "The Republican party will protect the people Irom the degrading effects of those pernicious doctrines which teach that the masses are the wards of the government and may rightfully depend on the government for money and subsistence independently of their individual exertions ” It refers to the seme <1 iss of citizeus designated by the grandson of bis grandfather as “Idiots.” These expressions are gratuitous insults to men of all parties who believe that that the financial policy of Harrison and his followers is pernicious and ruinous to the host interests of t! e whole people. Go to Catt & Smoot for the Bald Head Cigars.
