_ Tue State tax in New York has been reduced under &'democratic administration from $8,700,000 to $6,000,000; and Governor Tilden promises, if the people will co-operate by sending an'honest Legislature to help him, to reduce it to $4,500,000, perhaps to $4,000,000. Gov. Tilden reduces his reform theories to practical measures. = IHe 'does not simply preach reform, but practices it with determination and success. Something of that kind is needed:in* the White House. | o g

Hox.DAVIDS. GoODING, of Hancock county, Ind., is -making speeches in Ohio for Allen and Cary. Davidis a red-hot greenback man- and can talk up/“more m'on'ey”y with as much vehemence- and eloquence as any man we know of. . Dan. Voorheés is expected "to also take part in the Ohio canvass. Bayless W.Hanna, our exAttorney General, a quasi hard money man; is also booked for several-sliéech-es to the Buckeyes. “The Plan” {James Buchanan) does not seem to have been sent for, yet. . - |

AN ELEcTION for - delegates to & propoposed constitutional convention was recently, held in North Carolina. It required from three to four weeks to obtain the correct result, both parties (as in 1872) claiming the victory. llthas finally transpired that filxe Republicans polled am unexpectedly large vote, and that on the.popular vot'e‘:they'.carriéd the State by about 15,000 majority. The ¢onstitutional conwvention will be composed of 59 Democrats, 58 Republicans, and 3 Independents. The latter consg quently hold the balance of power.

'~ HESSING’s paper—the Illinois Staats-Zeitung-—which probably influences a ldrgér - number of . voters-than any other paper in Illinois, ‘makes an interesting declaration of its purposes in regard to the next presidential election, Itsays: “Between Grant and Allen, we are absolutely for Grant; but if Grant should have the presamgtion to come forward as the republijean candidate, against a good opposi{tion seandidate—for example, againsg 'Tilden—then we would say: Between Grant and Tilden, we are absolutely“for Tilden.” . - .

. IMMIGRATION to the United States, since the panic of 1873, has fallen off one-third. The peogple of a'l other countries éxcept* China have come to the conclusion they cannot improve

'~ Aheir condition by taking up a resi- . dence in the Unitéd States.” The de- ., ' ‘creasé at the port of New York this - year is likely to reach 100,000, enough _ people to found a new State or build -~ anew city. . As emigrants b¥ing with -+ them a very considerable amount of ~° ' money which is expended -in the pur- . -.chase of land, and the implements. of _their craf’ts"an(.l the means of subsis- . 'tence, this decrease in their number © . 'has a considerable effect in retatding “'the ordinary growth and prosperity, of ' ° the country. - e

- AMONG the most sensible opinions . lately expres‘ged_ upon the currency _question are those of the Hon. Fer- _ nando Wood, of New York, who said: + *“When the proper ‘time comes we i~ shall have redemption, simply because %, we shall have commercial and finan- . cial confidence fully restored. That . is what resumption means. No one cares for hard gold. Paper is more ' convenient. What everybody does * want, however, is to know that he can get gold for his dollar when he pleas--8, and knowing this he does.not want ihe ‘coin at all. With the establishment of sound principles of ‘governiment and: wise economy will come . prosperity in the nation. With prosperity will come restored confidence, and . with confidence, a settlement of what people persist in calling our financial difficulties.” Economy -in . governmental expenditures must go ~ hand in hand with resumption of speeie payments. We must return to old time simplicity and honesty. S ——— - — - THE ABLEST STATESMAN among the . - Ohio Democrats, the Hon. W. S. Groes- - beck, in a recent conversation said: ~_“I am a Democrat, always have been, " but Idon’t subscribe to the financial ~ plank in the Democratic platform. It . s against all precedent in history, and ~ is contrary to the teachings of the _ party in the past.” “What about the - election of Gov. Allen?” “His prosl “pects are not flattering, to say the ~ least,” was the answer. ' “He is on the - wrong side of the question of finance.” Ex-Senator Geo. E. Pugh, also a very - able and life-long Democrat. expresses - himself to the same effect. “The same . ' may be said of Judge Ranney, Judge . Payne, and & host of other old-time ~leaders of the Ohio Democtucy. And %qfi&w earances indicate the re-elec- ~ tion of Gov. Allen. We Lelicve if the . election eould be held to-day, Allen’s ~ sand.

‘A FLUTTERING ECONOMIST, The Syracuse Enterprise, in a somewhat ill-natured article, takes exception to thecriticism bestowed upon one of its articles by the Lagmnge:S’tand—ard and THE BANNER. - Bro. Prickett seems to think that because heis “the senior” of the editor of THE BANNER, nis (P's) ability to form correet conclusions on questions of publie policy ought not to be questioned! That is to say, when a man ‘well advanced in years espouses -erroneous doctrines, susceptible. of easy refutation, it is unbecoming in a younger man to point out the fallacy of his position. - Well, sueh etiquette may prevail at Syracuse, but it can’t pass here. ~ ° There is but little to reply to in the remainder of the Enterprise’s lamentation. ‘lts editor now denies being in favor of intlatien, and cleverly admits that the government has more currency in circulation to-day than it had in 1865. But he vehémiently protests hgainst specie resumption in 1879, and avers that much of the currency in ac¢tual ‘circulation .in 1865 is now locked, up in' the vaults of the banks. We are not so clear upon that point. 'Millions of dollars were used. for wild and reckless -speculation in 1865, while to-day money is everywhere seeking safe investment for legitimate purposes. There is -to-day more money at the- command of the business "man_and farmer who can fl:)‘l)iSI‘l prbper secufity than at any other time during’the past ter. years. We have abundant evidence to substantiate this assertion. - |

* What we'need most to-day torevive. business is confidence. . And this eannot be’ established so long as Bill Kelley, Ben Butler, Sam Cary, and Jim Buchdnan find willing ears to their %enseless plea for .more 'c.u-rren'éy and for doing away with a 'metallic basis. The history of the world is a standing refutation of the practicability of the scheme proposed by these demagogues. -Disaster has resulted from ev'ery depfarture. made from the, true and only monetary. basis. Men of wealth are not disposed toinvest their ‘capital amidst all the ery and bluster raised by the inflfiiilonists'of the country. And we venture. the assertion that if this disturbing element, these | ch:mfpions of comniunistic ideas, are “once squelched as they deserve to be, ";111(1 as they evéntua'llv will' be, a reviyal -of business. may be looked for i with ”cert;iinty. ‘We were gradually -approaching that desirable state some time ago, but inflationists-have tem“porarily checked the onward march to }pro‘sperity. - T i

PLATFORMS,ONCE MORE,

Platform makers are appointed by these conventions to give eapression to: the opinions of their party in the nation, State, district or county, on certain issues and policies of government. TheBANNER says we have been one-of platform makeérs: So we have, and on every occasion we have sought to “catech thie popular -breeze” by embodying in plattorms what we considered “to be the wishes of the peovle represented—the governing power of this land.—Goshen: Democrat. | -

Exactly. " But you have also declared that platforms thus drafted are for mere buncombe; that-they. dare of no binding force; that they are made merely to, catch votes :ujd,may be vioJated - with impunity. Then, :igain, you'say that nobody attaches any importance to platforms--that practically it makes no difference what they contain; but you complacently upset your own frail structure by intimating that if the Democrats had const-ucted a different platform in 1864, “the result ‘might have been otherwise.” Do these declarations “consist®” S

- The long and short of the trouble with the Democrat iS, that its editor, has' in an .unguarded moment placed himself upon :record as Delieving in deliberatelv bamboozling them people; in promising them certain reforms and at ‘thé same time maintaining that such promises are made for mere buncombe; in teaching the people that resolutions are so many lies, and that it is not in order to hold a party toits solemn pledges. - These demoralizing views we combat and denounce as teniding to still furthier corrupt .the public mind, as being caleulated to bring discredit, dishonor, infamy and shame upori American politics. It will take: a good many column-and:a-half editorials to convince men of honor aud integrity that the Demoerat’s teachings as to platforms are not debasing,’ mischievous and utterly detestable—no matter how strongly these may be endorsed by the Columbia City Post and the Auburn Courier,

' A TELEGRAM announces the death, from remittent fever, on the morning of the 23d inst., of Rev. Cyrus Nutt, D. D, LL. D, for -fifteen years President of the Indiana State University, at Bloomington. Dr. Nutt was one of the most successful educators in this country, and has long held a position in ‘the front rank ameng the prominent thinkers and writers of the Methodist Episcopal Church. His remains were taken to Greencastle for burial on Tudsday last. - Tt will be remembered that Prof. Nutt was but recently removed from the pesition which he filled so acceptably for many years. , . . :

- OUR sensitive neighbor of the Syracuse Enterprise seems to think that we deem the fact of the “golden State,” California, paying much higher wages for farm labor than other States, a regular “Bonanza” of hard money argument. Bless your soul, Bro. Pricket, that item was only an incidental allusion. We cited it for the simple purpose of showing that there is a little lie afloat when currency depreciators say that gold dollars mean beggarly wages. That’sall. .. =~ -

.Tue Goshen Democrat has the sublime assurance to declare that in followirig up our criticism of its position on platforms and platform makers, we did so “without undertaking to controvert a single position” the Democrat had assumed. If this doesn’t sound “brassy,” let no one hereafter say aught about the “cheek” of a government mule. - Sieohane,

- Mosgs W. FIELD, the Michigan Republican Congregsman who is at the head of the greenback convention _movement, has already made an ap‘pointmént for a speech in Ohio, in ‘support of Gov. Allen and the demeocratic. ticket. ' So, it seems, we are soon to witness a union of inflation Republicans with inflation Democrats.

‘ FACTS VS. FANCY. £ The editor of the Goshen Democrat, whenever he embarks upon the perilous venture of imparting historieal information, almost invariably manages to “get his foot in.” - In-his last week’s Lissue he states among other things: e . - *As Tne BANNER- made personal allusion to our action as one of the platform makers, for illustration, it will not take it"'amiss if we follow its example. For this reason we never could understand- how the editor of THE BANNER, who has such a high sense of political honor, and a hard money Democrat at that, could have sought the position of a candidate for State Auditor, and come so near being nominated at the last democratie State convention, on Dan Voorhees’ platform on the currency, when ‘its spirit was inflation, rag money- and repudiation!” A hard money candidate on a rag money platform! = Yet John, B. Stoll, of THE NATIONAL BANNER, wanted to be a candidate for State Auditor, and was willing to run, on that platform or any other one the platform makers might make to carry him safe through!” :

The above is a marvelous. mixture of misrepxesentation, perversion, conjecture, and buncombe. We shall; proceed directly to dissecting the feeble bantling. ) : | The night before the assembling of the State convention, at a preliminary meeting of -the delcgates from this congressional district, we made an earnest speech in favor of the adoption of hard money resolutions by the convention. - A resolution to that effeet was adopted and the committeeman’'(Mr. Daniel McDonald) instructed to urge its incorpomtid‘mfintd the State platform. Every utteranee by the editor of THe BANNER on that occasion was an earnest plea for a sound financial platform. No one could be in doubt as to our position. Some of our friends,who entertained opposite views on the finance question but nevertheless advocated our nomination, remonstrated _against-onr persistent advocacy of a hard money plank, on the ground that it would injure our prospects for the nomination the next day. Dr. McConnell was one of this number. Yet, we did not yield an inch. When the nominations were':made; no one knew what the platform would be. -The com‘mittee on resolutions was unable to agree. A sub-committee took the matter in charge, succeeding only in agreeing upon a report after the most important nominatigns had been made by the convention. gl‘he platform was reported late in the afternoon. So; you see, Mr. Murray, that you are about as far from the truth in alleging that we sought a nomination “on Dan Voorhees’ platform” as a man can get without laying himself open ‘to the ich'argre of uttering a very base and exceedingly clumsy falsehood.

The Ligonier BANNER ably discusses Ohip politics, and particularly the money iplank in the platform, but on what side:of‘the contest our friend is, is difficvlt to know. He is apprehensive’ that the Democracy won’t win, and then again he is apprehensive that it will. Which ?— Warsaw Union.

- If our readers genefally do not gain a clearer conception of the discussion referred to than seems to be the case with our contemporary, we feel very poorly repaid for the labor performed. Cantiot Bro. Zimmerman understand that we are discussing a principle, without much reference t¢ partisan effect? We are not addressing an Ohio audience, neither are we trying to make votes for or-against Uncle Bill Allen. Our aim is to disseminate correct principles —to separate truth from falsehood, the genuine from the bogus. If the performance of this journalistic duty should in any conceivable ' manner prove injurious to somebody in Ohio, it behooves that somebody to so shape his c¢ourse as- to render Truth a welcome guest instead of a dreaded invader of unhallowed ground.

Tue Toledo Blade, one day last week, gave currency to the absurd statement that Gov. Allen was about to withdraw from the canvass as a candidate for Governor. Of course, there is not a word of truthin the foolish story. . Even the republican papers are disgusted with the Blade’s fabrication, as witness the following from the Dayton Joyrnal: “Why don’t the cheerful idiot of the Toledo Blade quit talking about the withdrawal of Bill Allen? It is the ‘most ridiculous nonsense that could be invented.. The Cincinnati Gazette's observation about a ‘feebleminded idiot’ ‘in the Toledo Blade, strikes us as about the correct thing. If the Blade can’t do better than that, Higgins had better be drowned.” = .

Let politicians strive to manipulate political. conventions as they may, this question of finance will be the all-important ope of the next campaign, and as tlie BANNER and Standard now occupy the same position in regard- to it, the query arises: Has Bro. Stoll, of | the BANNER, gone over to the republicans? or has Bro. Rerick, of the Standard, gone over to the democrats? - 'We hope they will enlighten their readers on this question. —Byracuse Enterprise. = - We will endeavor to enlighten our contemporary. If, by agreeing with Bro. Rerick that two and two are four, that white is white, and honesty is honesty, involves a change of party relation, then'it devolves upon us, to determine who has undergone a political ehange; but not otherwise.

INDIANAPOLIS, .Aug. 22.—The expected editorial ehange in the Sentinel is announced this morning. Mr. O’Connor retires, with *a statement that a.new policy in the conduct of the papeigjill begin. This means an abandonment of strict hard-money ideas, and the advocacy of inflation as represented in the Ohio "Democratic platform. R.J. L. Matthews, formerly editor of the New Albany Ledger, is the new editor. : : ‘ We hardly believe that the Sentinel ‘will be over-zealous in the advocacy of inflation. - Jim Ryan, one of the leading stockholders, is a reputed hard-money man, and Rob. Matthews —he surely hasn’t forgotten the teachings of Jefferson and Jackson ?

- The Fort Wayne Journal insists that John B. Stoll, of the Ligonier BANNER, and William Fleming, of the Fort Wayne Sentinel, are both can~ didates for State offices in 1876, the former for Auditor of State and the latter for Treasurer of State.-—~Colum-bia City Post, - / . So far as the above relates to the editor of THE BANNER, We can assure The Post that the Journal’s statement is mere guess-work, and devilish poor guess-work at that. - 1 :

DR. LEWIS’ CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA, - Dr. Dio Lewis has lugged forth a new mystery which he kindly explains and charges nothing for the explanation. Itis a manner of treating dyspepsia which He says has been kept a profound secret, but,which has accomplished marvelous cures. It is very simple and easily applied. Nothing more is required than a moderate consumption of digestible food as a preliminary. After such dieting the victim of indigestion when he arises in the morning must vigorously slap and knead his abdomen, or procure it to be done, extending the application over the stomach, bowels and liver.— Eefore ‘dinner, and on fetjring at night, repeat the slapping and renew the kneading. - With temperance, open air exercise, and assiduous and regular abrasions ah,d punchings, in the manner indicated, malignant indigestions are cured. There is little doubt of the efficacy of this treatment. Dr. Dio Lewis has tried it-himself and he says: “It is marvelous how a stomach, sore and sensitive at first, and hardly able to bear a touch, will strengthen under these operations and bear, in a short time with pleasure, pretty rough -handling. I have experienced the benefit of these manipulations, and can testify to their great utility. Under this treatment a torpid liver will be aroused to activity, constipated bowels will ‘become, reguJar and do their normal work, and a sluggish stomach will put on its wonted energy.” It is aiserted in certain quarters that this method is as old as Hippocrates, and that it is recommended in the guhliehedworks of the late Dr. Rush. However this may be, the “cure” is certainly wortha trial.

Indiana Soldier’s Re-Union. ~ There are advertisements out for a re-union of the soldiers of Indiana at Indianapolis, un‘fzthe 14th and 15th of October. The invitation includes 1. All Wnion soldiers of Indiana, who served in the late war. 2. All such soldiers from other States, now living in Indiana.

3. Soldiers of the Mexican war. 4. Soldiers of the war of 1812.. '~ 5. Sailors living in Indiana who served in.any of the above wars. A full programme, giving all the details, will be published as soon as completed. One of the objects of the meeting is to erect a monument to the soldiers of Indiana. : ’ .

~ Counties not already organized for the re-union, are ~urged to go 80, by assembling such soldiers as can be gotten together without delay, and appointing. an executive committee of five for the county, and a general committee of oné for each township. The latter should at once call* township méetings, and make arrangements for securing the attendance of every soldier at the re-union. =~ On the former will devolve the duty of seeing that all information regarding the re-union is promptly published thro’ the local press, or, if that is unfriendly, by means of hand bills. ;It will also ascertain and announce the rates of tmnspgrtati'on and the time of leaving its locality for Indianapolis, and .do such other things as it. may deem conducive to the success of the re-union. It is further requested that suc# committees report their names to this committee as soon as appointed.- y . !

This will be the first State re-union since the war of the rebellion, ten years since, and it is confidently expected that soldiers of Indiana, regardless of all differences of opinion will cheerfully assis,q in making it a grand success. Let us meet together as comrades once more, and around the camp fire renew the friendships of other days. = G. S. LANGSDALE, ) CpATeMAN ExgcuTive COMMITTEFR, - JonxN A, KErTH, Sec’y. : .

“ Suppose the attack of the hard money democrats defeat the Ohio democracy, and through the loss of Ohio we lose the next presidential election, where is the democratic admistration to come in ito bring the country back to specie payment, or any.other reform measure? Can the BANNER comprehend us now ?—Goshen Democrat. e S

Yes, fully. .And suppose the Ohio Inflation Democracy is successful this fall, and in consequence thereof the depreciated currency mania spreads beyond Ohio, and gains recognition in the national platforrfn‘,»l and the convention (in the language of Uncle Bill Allen) declares a specie basis “a d—d barren ideality” —suppose all these things should come to pass, where, oh where, “is the democratic administration to “come in to b_?'ing the country back to “specie payments?” ! '

We said, “if it is left to a democratic administration to bring the government back to specie payment, it is absolutely necessary to carry the elections to have a democratic administration.” THE BANNER says that this declaration is “so decidedly muddled, that we will not venture an analysis.” —G@oshen Democrat, - ; i

Since tlie scriptures say that “there are none so deaf as those who will not hear,” we will analyze the Demoérat’s muddled sentence. “If itis left to a democratic administration” &e., then, thou- astute logician, the business is done, and we need not further trouble oursélves about carrying “elections to have a-democratic admini\stra‘tion.”— In other words, a thing already deterj mined requires no further determining! That point ought to be clear, even to the editor of the Goshen Democrat.

Frosts visited various sections of the West and North-west on Saturday ‘and Sunday nights last, doing more or less injury to the growing crops. In a number of counties of Illinois and Wisconsin quite a heavy frost on Monday morning is reported; doing éonsiderthe damage to corn, potato, pumpkin and othéer vines. The damage, however, was chiefly confined to crops on low grounds, the effects being scarcely noticeable on uplands. In Wisconsin the tobacco and hops have suffered to some extent. Light frosts were reportéd in the vicinity of Grand Rapids, Michigan, but no damage of any eonsequence.j' So far as we have been able to learn, no frost was seen in this State. s

The four great trunk lines of railway between the East and the West have. concluded a treaty of peace and harmony, the result of which is a new and uniform schedule of freight tariffs, which went into effect last Friday, rates being an.advance on the previous, ' i .

Senator J. E. Mc¢Donald in Ohio. g [From the Fort Wayne Sentinel.] - - Senator McDonald. has entered the Ohio conflict, making his opening speech at Urbana on Thursday night. In spite of the prophecies expressed by the republican press, Mr. McDonald did not yieq‘g his hard money ideas. He did nos infitate the vacillating policy of Senator Thurman. He did not say that black and white were synonymous terms. To go into Ohio at this time as a Democrat to address ‘democratic audiences is hazardous for any but the most violent inflatiénists. But Senator McDonald had the cou.age to say just what he said at Greencastle last summer. [He told his Ohio brethren that the country to be prosperous must return .to' specie payments. . Our commercial relations with foreign countries demand this. With a currency which is depreciated and ‘whieh has nothing. in jcommon with the circulating mediumi of other countries, it is impossible that our commercial relations can.be anything but disastrous to ourselves. But we are a commercial people ailnd therefore the paper money policy .of the country is nothing less than a bar to our progress. We have lostiour relative position among thenatians of the world, and must continue tojoccupy a false position until a better financial system has been adopted. ‘| Mr. MecDonald took no pains to reconcile his money ideas with the soft money opinions of the Ohio Democratd, and “in this particular he has shown courage of the first quality. With| Senator ‘McDonaid, Gov. Hendricks | and’ Mr. Kerr pledged to the cause of anti-infla-tion there is fair hope of Indiana yet. Tragedy at Reading, Pennsylvania.

READING, PA. " August 21.—There was great excitement here at the funeval of Mrs. Bessinger and her three children, drowned on Tuesday last.— It seeris from the stories of the people that the woman had 'livéd unhappily with her husband, owing to the introduction ;by him of angtlie® woman into the house, and this unhappiness resulted in a guarrel on Monday, when the husband otdered his wife to leave the house, and to. take the two girls with her, while he would retain the boy. -~ Next day she went to the canal with the children, and, after filling a basket with stones!int”which operation the children assgisted, she bound the basket securely to her body, and, taking the three children in her arms, leaped into the canal, and all were drowned. As soon asjthe bodies were ‘recovered ,and taken to their former home, the police had to guard the house to save' the husband from assault, and at the funeral procession to-day, which included abouf: 1,000 people on foot, they surrounded his carriage. When the bodies were lowered into the grave, the people hooted Bessinger, and made a rush for him.— In the confusion, one shof was ‘fired, when the police hurriedly placed him in a carriage aud drove off, receiving, on passing the cemetery gates, another shot, which, it is thought, wounded him, as he was carried into the house. The people are still on guard, and the peoplé, including many women, continue their threats.

The Wichita (Kansas) Beacon says: The harvest throughout this portion of Kansas has been completed, and the estimated wheat crop in this and the four adjoining counties is 4,000000 bushels, 1,000,000 of which is the produet of this county.. The aver ag] yield per acre is from 23 to 30 bushels, some fields running as high as 40 bushels. 475 reapersangd 35 threshers have been sold here to harvest and thresh the crop of this valley, which has been saved in good condition, muchof the grain weighing from 63 to 65 pounds to the bushel. The re€entrains insurea magnificent crop of corn, ‘which is now in roasting ear, and from 8 to 12 feet 'high.. The oat crop is large, and promises an abundant yield. The acreage in rye, barley and flax is limited, though in the most promising condition.” : ; . |

Murder at Fréemont. . Thetown of F{emont was, last Saturday evening, thfown into the wildest excitement in being the scene of a brutal affray which resulted in the deidth of one Andrew Meyers, who lived in the vicinity. At that time, this Meyers and one Albro Pierce, between. whom a feud had for some time existed, met in the streets nearly in front of Storrs’ hotel and renewed their difficulties and grappled in fight. They were about being separated by the Town Marshal and others who were present, when young Pierce idrew a revolver and shot and fatally wounded Meyers. Meyers died Sunday evening. Pierce is in custody, awaiting the; result of the proper inquest on the deceased, and a legal examination on his part by the courts.—Steuben Republican. :

- Ex-Gov. JouN T. HOFFMAN, of New York, has a true conception of the political situation. In arecent interview he thus placed himself on record:— “When the democratic party gives up its hard money principles, it repudiates Jefferson and Jackson, and has neithe‘r apostles mor creed left. You may depend upon it, the democratic party will not go into the next presidential issué under any inflation banner. One of its chief mottoes will be ‘the speeds iest possible .return to a currency founded on gold.’” . Those Ohio fellows will have a happy time rallying under that banner next year. It will be so funny! : Tribute to Senator McDenald. . .Senator McDonald deserves considerable credit for his consistency on the financial question, In the face of the Ohio democratic platform and the wild clamor of the party papers in that State for inflation, it required no small degree of courage for him to declare his firm adherence to his Greencastle speech, and his -conviction that the best interests of the country imperatively require a sound and convertible currency. For this he will of course be duly. vilified by the inflation organs, but will win the approval of all honest and intelligent men.—lndianepolis Journal. =

This will answer the criticism of the BANNER as to our platform in the people’s movement in this county at the last election.—Goshen Democrat. It will answer nothing of the kind. It is a mere dodge, a very thinly disguised subterfuge, You haven’t even touched the question. Come, Mr. Democrat, be honest, and let your -readers know what we did say and what you failed to answer. You ought to do this for old friendship’s sake—if you can’t do it for the new. .

At ‘last the official announcement comes that gold has been found inthe Black Hills. Prof. Janny, who is the government geologist, has made a thorough examination of the country, and has found “pay dirt.” T?s auriferous soil yields about threé cents to the pan. On the hypothesis that the dirt is of a uniform richness, and that a strong man could stand in one place and wash dirt all day without stopping, he might have six dollars in dust at night. .
