Williams’ shoes in 1880 ? kb

Tane New York World is troubled . with the gold fever. It doesn’t like i the “cheap” daddy dollars for resumptioh purposes. ek R

Tue Massachusetts Demcerat who worked for the victory of the Republicans is a neble thing! His virtue will get its own reward. i

AND so Mr. Hayes and Mr. Sherman want a law to limit the coinage of silver dollars. Better allow a few to circulate before taking such a step.

Now. for resumption. The glorious times will begin at once. 'No bank cashier il think of asking more than 1 per cent. a month on real good paper.

Jusr let one of New Jersey’s half dozen presidential candidates ask for the democratic nomination in 1880. He’ll be reminded of Tuesday’s disaster. i

GREENBACKERS should understand by this time that greenback ideas can only be incorporated intc our financial system°by and through the democratic organization. |

‘WE wouldn’t give much for the political future of the democratic member of the Legislature who does not cheerfully meet the popular demajxd in the election of United States Senator. - - e el

OF course Dennis Kearney, of Kalifornia, is a man of his word, and will not fail to make good his sanguinary promises. Now that Ben. Butler is defeated, oceans of b-1-0-0-d will wash Massachusetts. -

THE.National Bank crowd must not crow too lustily over Tuesday’s “victory.” Wait till the returns are allin and see how badly the Sherman policy is beaten by the joint vote of the Greenbackers and Democrats.

CoL. . THOMAS A. ScOTT, President of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, sailed for Europe last Monday. He takes a vacation until next spring for the benefit of his health. Tom has been an indefatigable worker and is greatly in need of rest.

RUMOR has it that the Wolcottville. Gazette, the “National” greenback organ, has been sold to a Mr. Lohman, of Auburn, who intends to move the material- to that place for the purpose of publishing a religious paper in the interest of the Church of God.

- IT was Hon. C. L. Vallandigham who, during the war, introduced a bill to pay the soldiers and officers of the army in gold. The goldites of to-day did not look with favor upon Mr. Vallandigham’s proposition and defeate&

it. They wanted gold only for the bondholder. ‘ /

THE MONEY POWER seems to just begin to realize the immense importance of the silver bill. They now talk of & greenback dollar' being worth over 99 cents and a silver dollar only 85. 'That kind of specie resumption is not in accordance with their calculation. ' They were after gold—dear money, a kind that is hard to, geb.. |

‘THE tone of the Russian press toward England has been considerably modified. Wind is just as plentiful, but war is not o imminent. Farmers who are anxiously looking for an advance in produnce will take a hint from this. ~ Russia and England are not going to cut each others’ throats if they can decently avoid it. .

THE BANNER regrets to observe that some of its contemporaries in this State have been taken in by J. Haydock, a notorious scoundrel and swindler, who pretends to be Holloway & Co’s agent for Holloway’s Pills and Ointment. A brother editor who knows all about the fellow’s tricks says if Haydock had his just dues he'd swing at the end of & rope. | :

WHAT kind of fellows are these “hard money” chaps, anyways? They have been clamorous fir specie resumption, and now when Uncle Sam is making arrangements to redeem his promises-to-pay with bright, shining Dollars of the Fathers, these delicate financiers howl terribly because (as they allege)greenbacks are worth 14 cents more than silver.

BRITISH FINANCIERING, Which we are asked to imitate in this country,is bearing its legitimate fruit. The Oldham (England) cotton operatives held a meeting on Saturday and unani-l mously. resolved to resistthe proposed 1‘ reduction of 10 per cent. on their wages. Twenty thousand hands and, 8,000,000 spindles will be affected by this action. England, it should be remembered is a specie payment country,

Here and there may be found a candid republican paper that does not seek to deceive its readers. The Utica (N. X.) Herald, for example, a.few: weeks since confessed that the republicans have not much to crow over in the October elections. It says: “We must do better here than 'has been done in any other State where elections have yet been held—save only Colorado—or we might as well do nothing.” . /

JUDGE OSBORN AND THE SPEAKERSHIP - THE BANNER does not presume to djctate to the members of the lower House of the Indiana Legislature whom they shall eleet as théir presid--Ing officer; but believing it to be in order, and entirely proper, to discuss the merits of gentlemen aspiring to that position, we cordially : endorse what our contemporaries, the LaPorte, Argus and the Plymouth Democrdt, have said in commendation of the Hon. James D. Osborn. e

Our reasons for urging the election of Judge Osborn to the Speakership are, briefly stated, these: : 1. He is peculiarly suited for the position, and would take special pains to guard against blunders prejudicial to the interests of the people and the party. ' - " 2, Northern Indiana i 3 entitled to this recognition, nearly every county along the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad, all of which in former years were represented by Republicans, havipg this year elected Democrats, thus securing democratic ascendancy in the Legislature. 3. The southern part of the State has the Governor, the eastern part the Lieut. Governor, the central and south-western part the two U. S. Senators. Imallfairness the North should ‘have the Speaker of the House. These are a few of themany reasons why Judge Osborn should be selected for the Speakership. We submit these, for the time being, to the thoughtful consideration of the Indiana Democ.racy, and especially to the members of the newly elected Legislature, who, we feel assured, will carefully weigh the merits of the several gxeellent gentlemen named in connection with this importaht position. . >

'Taz BANNER has no fears of any underhanded scheme of sufficient magnitude to defeat Dan. Voorhees for U, 8. Senator. The voice of the people is mighty.—Ligonier Banner, . ! And the people should come down like an avalanche on a recreant public servant. There seems to be an inward feeling that the money bags will be on hand at the meeting of the legislature. We trust THE BANNER has good reason to rest quietly.— Warsaw Union, : :

There is a way of guarding against such “mishaps.” It was successfully resorted to in Pennsylvania, in the year 1863. The Democrats hud a majority of one on joint bollot. Simon Cameron set to work to secure his reelection, in the sameé manner he obtained his election silx years prior —by buying democratic votes. He had made arrangements to buy a democratic vote for $20,000. When the Democrats heard of this nefarious transaction, about two hundred bold and fearless men repaired to the State capital and served personal notice upon every democratic member that treason to the party would meet with instant punishment. That put a quietus on Cameron’s maneouvers. No votes were bought or sold, and Charles R. Buckalew was triumphantly elected.

SINGULAR as it may appear, the most persistent effort to accomplish the defeat of Dan Voorhees for U. S. Senater emanates from ‘such men as the Buchanans who affect to be leaders of the National party in Indiana. These men cannot help but know that Mr. Voorhees is the choice of almost every sincere advocate of the greenback doctrine in this State, and yet they are doing all in their power to, gratify the most ardent desire of the National Bankers—doubtless in the vain hope that Mr. Voorhees’ mantle may by some accident fall wpon the shoulders of one of their own number. Such a course is anything but indicatsive of an earnest desire to promote the cause of the people in the great contest with the Money Power. e

ExX-GOVERNOR MORGAN, of New York, is :among the possibilities as the Republican Presidential candidate in 1880., If New York would unite upon him, he would be a formidable candidate.—Crawfordsville Journal. Gov. Morgan is a millionaire and would shell out liberally. Yet, his money did not carry him through when a candidate for Governor against Lucius Robinson two years ago. But, then, Tilden had the run of the machine in the Empire State that year, and when he takes hold in good earnest, it is very hard to get around him. .

A DISPATOH from Ottowa announces that the Canadian Ministers think the question of the Fisheries must be settled between the United States on the ome hand and England and Newfoundland on the other without involving the Dominion. ' They seem to admit, however, that the Halifax award cannot be expected to be paid before it is settled; and some disposition is shown to argue the case of England and Newfoundland for them in advance against the contention of the United States government.

— Congressman Baker is making speeches for the Michiganders, this week.—La&'range Standard, - ‘What kind of speeches, pray ? Overproduction speeches, or anti-labor-sav-ing machinery speeches, or greenback speeches, or national bank speeches, or anti-contraction speeches, or silver speeches, or resumption speeches ?— There are so many sides to the elastic John, that our curiosity is somewhat aroused as to the side he has planted himself on over in Michigan. -

WANTS HIS PAY.~Thos. N. M¢Gaw, of Fort Wayne, alleges that John Studebaker, the millionaire banker of Bluffton, who was the National candidate for Congress in that District, employed him to deliver speeches during the canvass at the rate of $5 per speech, and that there is still due him the sum of $147.85 for these services, which the defemdant refuses to pay. McGaw has brought suit to recover ‘the amount, AT : :

THE DISSATISFATION in Englisiy political circles over the non-execu-tion of the terms of the Berlin treaty is increasing, and the Londoh T'imes ‘thinks the time has come when “steps should be taken in the matter.” Well, 1f you mean fight, go at it. Uncle Sam ~has any quantity of wheat, corn, pork, and beet to sell at reasonable prices.

TUESDAY’S ELECTIONS.

What was Inveolved h the Oontort.

_ On Tuesday last, the sth of November,elections were held in thirty States, in ‘most of them for Congressmen and State officers, and in some for Congressmen only. Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Maryland, Mississippi, Xen‘tucky, North Carolina, Rhode Island and . Virginia elected Congressmen only, In Vermont, a Congressman: was ordered to be elected in the Third ‘District, there having been no choice in that District at the September election. :

The main interest, of course;~centered in the result on Cdngressmen, which was by;all; parties regarded as the important stake. The object was not only to obtain an actual majority of the House, but also a majority voting by States, so as-to comtrol the presidential election in the event that it should be thrown into the House.

THE ELECTIONS. A Democratic Congress Twenty-five Majority in the House and Ten in the Senate. Bad Behavior of the New York, - New Jersey and Connectiout ~+ Democracy.

Cameron’s ll,oi-ey Again Buys a Vie- ~ tory in Pennsylvania, . ‘Louisiana, South Carolina and Flerida, the Stolen States, Overwhelmingly Democratic. anng Cleaned- Out, and Conkling’s - Re-election Adssured. The result-of Tuesday’s election in thirty States and two Territories is ‘substantially as follows: Ben Butler is defeated for Governor of Massachusetts by from 20,000 to 80,000. He ‘made a most gallant fight, but the com‘bined power of lepublican and democratic capitalists proved too formidable. .

- Owing to divisions on the finance ‘question, the Democrats lost Connecticut by a small majority. The Republicans carry the Legislature and a majority of Congressmen, ‘ Néw Harmpshire and Rhode Island solidly republican. / Augustus Schell, Tammany candidate for Mayor of New York city, is ‘beaten by 20,000 majority by Tilden’s friend, Edward Cooper- (son of the venerable Peter) who was supported by the anti-Tammany Democrats, Re‘publicans and Independents. The entire Tammany ticket was overwhelmingly defeated—very properly, we ‘think. - The Republicans probably elect Danforth for Judge, the only State office voted for, and have alarge majority in the Legislature, thus secaring the re-election of Senator Conkling. The Republicans also gain five or six congressmen.

New Jersey behaved very badly by electing a majority of republican Congréssmen, among them being Grant’s notorious Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Robeson. Democratic division and cupidity did the business.

Pennsylvania elects Hoyt (Rep.) Governor by about 21,300 majority, a republican Legislature, and 17 out of the 27 congressmen. Speaker Randall is re-elected by a reduced majority. Ex-Gov. A. G. Curtin, Democrat, is de feated for Congress by 73 votesby a National.” The Greenback vote is much smaller than expected—the republican greenbackers. generally voting the straight republican ticket.

Michigan was completely swept by the Republicans, electing the entire congressional delegation. - The Greenback and Democratic vote is about equal in numbers. : :

Wisconsin - shows no perceptible change. Republicans hold their own and carry the Legislature. - j Illinois largely republican. Congressional delegation unchanged ; Legislature close, but probably republican. 'Kansas and Nebraska republican as usual. ; oy ]

. In Missouri the Democrats made a clean sweep; 'Greenback vote unexpectedly light. All thesouthern States roll up tremendous democratic majorties, darkies and all voting the democratic ticket. - Not over a half dozen Republican Congressmen were elected in the South. o

The:three stolen ‘States, Louisiana, South Carolina and Florida, avenged the presidential steal by rolling up tremendous democratic majorities. - The democratic majority in the next House df Congress will not be less than twenty-five. Nineteen States (just half) are represented by democratic delegations. If the Republicans obtain the California and Nevada delegations, there will bs a tie, should the election of a President be throwninto the House. The U.S. Senate will have a democratic majority of 8 or 10.

“Wherever the Democrats took a pronounced stand in 'fztvor of the “Ohio Idea” on finance, there they either held their own .or made handsomé gains. In the eastern States, where bullionism controls democratic councils, we lost heavily, e

ALBION RUMMAGES.

Another victory! Affirming that “right is might!” The Democratic boys of Albion ahead!' A few weeks ago the boys of Albion, ranging from twelve years of age to twenty, held regular caucuses and nominated full democratic and republican tickets for distriet and county, and on Saturday, November 2nd, held an election which resulted in the ‘election of the entire democratic ticket, by majorities rang-’ ing from four to five. The. following are the officers elected: For Congress, W. 8. Hadley; Judge, Elmer Haney; Representative, Fred Markey; Audi‘tor, Ed. Eagles; Treasurer, A. Hoffman; Sheriff, Will, Frazare; Survey‘er, R. B. Howard; Coronor, J. Lewis. The boys showed a great deal of zeal and enterprise in pulling the political wires, and did a work that older heads 'might be proud of. The world moves on and history repeats itself at every turn. -

-A. J. Denler has removed his stock into his new restaurant rooms, and is now prepared to wait on .his customers in first-class style. He has the best rooms of the kind in the 'town. Charles Moltz has purchased the dry goods stock of Nelson Prentiss, first door north of Philips’. He will take immediate possession, and will make it profitable for the customers he truly merits. ! Sherman Hadley has removed his stock of groceries into the old Denler rooms, at which place his old customers will find him genial as ever,

The republican boys of this place have inaugurated a sort of returning board system, smuggled the poll books and thereby changed the general result of the election held by the boys. The New Era will probably edit the changed results. :

Judge Osborn for Speaker. [LaPorte Argus.] ,

Judge Osborn, the Representativeelest from Elkhart and Noble counties, is undoubtedly second in ability to no man who is elected to that body. He is & man of ripe judgment, careful training and fine ability, either as a lawyer, a judge or as a writer. His ability and good practical sense, as well as his courteous and gentlemanly traits of character, fit him admirably for the important position of Speaker of the House, and his friends in this part of the State hope to see him elevated to that place. - He is a man of irreproachable private character and his election to the Speakership -would be an honor to the party as all will testify .who know him. The Argus heartily hopes to see him elected.

The Right Man for the Right Place, ~ {Plymouth Democrat.]

Hon. J. D. Osborn, of Goshen, Joint Representative from the counties of Elkhart and Noble, is a candidate for Speaker of the House of Representatives at the c_oming session of the Legislature. Judge Osborn is a gentleman of fine legal attainments, personally very popular among his constituents, and, we have no doubt, would make an excellent presiding officer.— The north part of the State has always been very modest in her demands for legislative appointments, and we can see 1o good reason why she shotild not now be honored by the election of Judge Osborn to the Speakership. 5 '} ¢ * » % i‘l ‘ 31 3 i +

Sunday night he succeeded in getting bail and left -on the 1 o’clock train for this city, arriving yesterday morning, Hazzard had made application to be released on a_writ of habeas corpus and the trial had been,set for yesterday morning. This ruse threw the ~Auburn officials off their guard and they went home believing that Hazzard was secure for a few minutes at least. In this they were mistaken. Hazzard spent yesterday and last nightin the city, Where he can be found to-day remains to be seen.—lnd. Journal, Nov. 5. 2
