' Gov. MCCLELLAN, of New Jersey, was seriously ill last Friday and Saturday. It was at one time reported that Ire had died. . He is now considered out of danger. =~ -~

LievuT. Gov, GrRAY i 8 rendering excellent service to the Ohio Democracy. His speeches:on the financial question are said to be masterly. He squarely espouses the “Ohio idea.”

REPUBLICAN PAPERS make a laughable display of roosters, flags and cannons because their party is not over a thousand in the minority in Maine, a State which they have for 25 years carried by majorities varying from 12,000 to 25,000, s :

IT 18'A MERE WASTE of time to speculate on the “probability” of the election of the next President being thrown into the House of Representatives. Nothing of the kind is likely to transpire. The Democrats will have several votes to spare in the electoral college.

DEMOCRATIC ORATORS are beginning to make the Ohio campaign lively. In a week or two they’ll make the sweat stand on Foster’s brow. Republicans have been very boastful during the past few weeks. They will whistle a different tune shortly. Mark the prediction, ;

REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS from the South report that the Sherman presidential boom has not struck that section to any extent; that here and there a government officer may be found to give Sherman a little boost, but that as a general thing the Republicans of the South favor the nomination of Grant. Sherman’s boom is next to no boom at all. o

WE FEEL sorry for Dorsheimer. Ile had a bright future before him, but in an unguarded moment he allowed himself to be led astray by ex-Boss Kelly Jealousy of Lucius Robinson doubtless had something to do with this fatal step. By prudent action he may atone for recent follies, but it will require years to place himself in a position as favorable as that of three years ago. o : D

SIX TONS OF GOLD were.deposited in the assay office at New York last Thursday. A ton of gold, it may be noted, is worth a little over $500,000. From this it appears that when a man says his wife is worth her weight in gold he means—suppoging she weighs one hundred and twenty pounds—about $30,000. Husbands'should bear this in mind when bestowing sweet compliments upon their wives.

THE FoLLY of John Kelly practically leaves Samuel J, Tilden master of ‘the situation in the Empire State. Robinson will be triumphantly elected “beyond a doubt, and as a consequence Mr. Tilden will have things pretty much his own way so far as the control of the party machinery is concerned. He will have a solid delegation from New York. Tammany’s power has departed ; frittered away by the folly of its leaders. : v

' WE HAVE OFTEN CONTENDED in these columns that after a financial crisis there could be no revival of business except through a healthy expansion of the circulating medium. - The fact that business is gradually experiencing a revival since the volume of currency has been undergoing expansion under the policy inaugurated by a democratic Congress fully corroborates that declaration. History has verified it in every instance. = @ .

* “HAVE you heard from ' Maine?” shout the republican gong-beaters all over the land. Yes, we have heard from Maine. We have heard that by the lavish expenditure of money, by fraud and chicanery, by trickery and every conceivable rascality, Jim Blaine succeeded in polling nearly one-half of the vote of that State for the republican ticket, ‘We haye also heard' that Maine in former years gave from twelve to twenty-five thousand republican -majority. * What has got over Maine, anyhow ?.

FREE BEAN DINNERS were among the attractions of Jim Blaine’s campaign in Maine. No wonder he succeeded in stirring up a lively breeze.

HHon. J. D. HEFRON, of Daviess county, who has been favorably mentioned in connection with the Lieut.Governorship, says he has too much business to look after fo justify him in being a candidate for that position.

- SAM WINTER, having been twentyone years in the editorial harness and being afilicted with rheumatism, experiences a necessity for rest, and therefore offers to sell his newspaper establishment (the Peru Sentinel) on favorable terms. The location is a favorable one for some energeti¢c newspaper man. :

GENERAL EWING says that the Ohio canvass must be made upon principle and truth, and not with money, as a large. part of the citizens believe in and will sustain the right. That the arrangements made by the republican managers to' carry the election this fall through corrupt use of money will fail, and the result of the campaign will prove that a yery large proportion of the citizens of Ohio are unpurchasable.

Tuae lAYEs administration would be delighted with a sweeping democratic victory in New York, and Conkling in turn would rub his hands in ecstacy over the defeaf of the Republicans in Ohio. The latter event is necessary to insure the nomination of Gratn, which Conkling desires next to his own elevation, while Coraell’s defeat in New York is essential to the “squelching” sof the Conkling-Grant combination. =~ o

"WHAT a nonsensical piece of business it is for States like Maine and Massachusetts to elect a Governor every year, and Ohio and other States every two years. It involves a useless expenditure of time and money, and can be of no possible good to anybody except perhaps the bummers who manage to get free drinks and lunches from opulent candidates or their friends. Public sentiment is fast compelling a change looking to the extension of gubernatorial terms,. :

It is a pleasure to state to the people who thought that resumption would be a failure, that eight months have elapsed and the treasury vaults are now so full of gold and the stock is accumulating so rapidly‘that_‘tfie silver vaults will soon have to be used to store it, and to make room for the large shipments of the yellow boys from Europe. —South Bend Tribune. ° | :

There is ample opportunity for making use of a goodly portion of this vast accumulation of gold by paying off a few hundred millions of the two thousand millions which Uncle Sam owes the bondholders of the country. Reduce the debt, stop interest, and put the gold in circulation. That will make room in the vaults of the Treasury.

OuR free trade friends of the Fort ‘Wayne Sentinel will doubtless be delighted with the announcement that the syndicate to profect quinine after the repeal by Congress of the duty upon it bas come to grief, affording excellent illustration of the wisdom of relaxation in tariffs on articles.of common use. On the first of this month American. quinine sold at $3.50 per ounce, on the second at $3.25 —foreign fell in the same period from $3.40 to $2.85. This, the Harrisburg Patriot says, is good news to those who have had to pay for this*poor man’s physic” $3.60 to $4 per ounce for the past three years to the Philadelphia monopoly which controlled its market. i

. CARL Scuurz has declared that he will under no circumstances support Grant if nominated for a third term. For thus remaining true to his convictions he is being roundly abused by the Grant gong-beaters who demand his retirement from the Cabinet. Schurz favors the nomination of John Sher‘man, not because he regards the wily Secretary of the Treasury his beau ideal of a statesman but because he considers him the least of the -evils likely to be inflicted upon the party: that is to. say, preferable to Grant, Blaine or Conkling. Bchurz hasa very exalted opinion of Senator Bayard, whom he would support in preference to either of the thiee last mentioned individuals, , .

How do Lieut.-Gov. Gray’s “hardmoney” friends like that gentleman’s greenback speeches in Ohio ?

Tue Wabash Fair proved a grand success. The receipts amounted to $3,700, about ssoo° over all expenses. It is stated that not less than 7,000 persons were in attendance last Thursday.

THE Chicago Z'imes is shockingly mean in its political discussions just now. It is trying to excel the Z'ribune and the Inler-Ocean in falsifying and misrepresenting the democratic party. Old Storey is a very bad egg.

SHERMAN’s presidential boom having already petered out, it is now stated that he is laying the wires for Judge Thurman’s seat in the U. S. Senate. John Sherman is a dead eock in the pit. That Syndicate did the business for him. ; ;

IN SPEAKING of the campaign in Ohio the Cincinnati Enquirer gives us the gratifying assurance that “Democrats are everywhere confident. There was never better enthusiasm, or larger hope. The Democrats of Ohio are in earnest. Men journey twenty or thirty miles to hear Ewing speak, and listless men do not travel so far. In the eighty-eight counties of Ohio there is no Democratic defection. We shall poll our full vote in October, and shall be strengthened’ many thousands by the Greenback vote, We have a soldier ticket,and the soldier vote of Ohio, which is very large, will not be insensible to this fact. We have a currency reform, silver, anti-National DBank ticket, and that idea had a majority of 35,000 last year. The Republicans have done rothing to gain votes since 1876, and then, in 660,000 votes they had only a majority of '7,000. In seven years the Republicans have not carried Ohio by a larger majority than this, while it has been carried by the Democrats, once by 17,000 and once by 23,000 within thac time. As between the two great parties in Ohio, the fight has become an even one with a full vote.” - '

WE ARE IN RECEIPT of an important circular just issued by the Superintendent of the Census Bureau at Washington. This document defines the duties of the office of enumerator uunder the Census law. TUnder the old law subdivisions were litnited to 20,000 inhabitants; by the present they are limited to 4,000, and will be confined to iansingle town where the numbey‘may ‘be less. . By the old law from June 1 to November 1 was allowed for the enum‘eration; under the presentstatute it is to be made in June, and in cities of more than 10,000 inhabitants in two ‘weeks from the first Monday in June. Enumerators will ‘woik in their own immediate Ipcality where they are ‘acquainted, thus avoidi\‘ng_,tthfiéliné expenses, and in many instances the work can be done withcut interfering with, other yocations, "Township assessors and other local, officers, and postmasters at small offices; are suggested to'perforta the work intelligently.

~ DAN VoOORHEES’' great speech at Hamilton, 0., last Monday, has struck terror into the republican camp. He made the fur fly in almost every sentence. The Democrats in that locality were Immensely enthused by Dan’s matchless oratory. v 1 ‘

A MAN was recently murdered near ‘Walhalla, South Carolina, and the stalwart organs of the North at once attributed the deed to political motives. According to the easy generalization of the Grant gong-beaters all crimes in the South including robbery and arson haye their origin in politics.

Nearly 200,000,000 silver dollars were putjin circulation last mowth. Ten per cent. of all bfficial galaries are now paid in silver. This, with the usual demand, will put the silver dollars 1n circuJation as fast as made.—Lagrange Standard. @

Inasmuch as the mints have only coined about 40,000,000 of silver dollars in all, we can’t quite understand how it was possible to put “nearly 200,000,000” of them in circulation during the month of August. -

COMPARING small things with great, the New York 7'imes is reminded by the jubilation of the Conklingites over the nomination of Cornell of the jubilation of the war party of F'rance after they had brought Napoleon 111. to the point of making a declaration of hostilities against Prussia. Amidst the shouting of the noisy ccowd of “On to Berlin” there were gloomy forebodings of the disaster of Sedan. @

- REPUBLICAN GONG-BEATERS have been so industrious in proclaiming the certain defeat of Gen. Ewing that some Democrats have become: gravely apprehensive of the result. ' To all such we commend this comforting paragraph from the Cincinnati Enquirer of last Monday: “The Republican is short-sighted and the Democratis fainthearted who can not, or will not, see that this year the soldier vote-and the greenback vote will elect Genl. Ewing and Gen. Rice. The thirty-eight thousand men who'voted the national ticket last year hopelessly are still in Ohio, earnest, intelligent; anxious for the triumph of their idea, which embraces the full remonetization of silver and the substitution of greenbacks for National Bank notes. They will not neglect an opportunity to make their idea Governor of Ohio. And there are thousands of soldiers in the State who can not be mtimidated or deceived by partisan falsehoods into vofing against two gallant Union soldiers —their ¢comrades. And Maine shows that if anything is probable in human affairs it is the election of Ewing. Lying and blufing caf not defeat him.” No, indeed. o L

NEW YORK PAPERS give it as their judgment that the amount of the present influx of gold will probably be double that of any other year in the history of the country.” About $12,000,000 have already arrived, some $B,000,000 are afloat, and it is expected that $75,000,000 will have arrived before New Year’s day. The present current of trade in favor of this country has been flowing for three years, but immense quantities of our bonds are held abroad, and these were bought up énd shipped hither instead of money to pay for our goods. It is estimated by competent authorities that not less than 600,000,000 of our bonds have been returned from abroad in a comparatively few years. The amount held in Europe is now so small as to practically prohibit their exportation, since the purchase of any considerable amount at-once puts the prices up so high that it is cheaper and more ¢onvenient to send gold. This being the case, the immense guantities of grain we are shipping must be paid for in gold. ‘While'gold was at' a premivm all the gold coin imported withdrew from circulation the amount necessary to carry it, and hence tightened the money market. Now, however, every ‘ounce of gold brought to this country adds so much ditectly to the circulating medium, and téildsg;td.fieas’e ‘the, ‘money market. ' Before it can pass into the currericy, Wowever, it niust be assayed and coined, and this necessa‘rily oecasions some delay, owing to the lack of capacity of the assay office.

THE administration at Washington profess to be highly gratified (?) with the result of the republican convention in New York. 1t was to make Conk-

ling’s man Cornell Goyernor that Hayes and Sherman turned him out of his position in the New York custom house. This may be regarded as one of the greatest triumphs of civil service reform yet achieved by this wonderful administration. /

PARSON DE LA MATYR is disgusted with the result in Maine. Ie intimates that quite a number of the véry fellows who talked so loudly about the encroachments of the Money Power were among the first to yield to the seductive influence of Jim Blaine’s big bar’l. llad these men remained true to their professions, the Greenback vote would p""roba»bly have been five or ten thousand larger. :

Tue New York Herald is authority for the statement that the largest influx of gold heretofore was in 1860-61. During the last three months of the former year and the first two quarters of the latter, $42,000,000 of British gold was handed in the assay oflice at New York. Thisamount was solarge s to excite a great deal of attention at’ the time, and the pro;xpec‘s of our assuming a position as a creditor nas tion were regarded as very flattering. Then came the war, plunging the country deep in debt, and now, with the immense foreign demand for American products, and the revival of prosperity, the gold once more flows to our shores and in a stream of unprecedented magnitude. This state of affairs will continte so long as the balance of Jlrade is in our favor.

S@ ¢ & Toe Nation, an independent-repub-lican journal of decided anti- Grant precclivities, thus describes the effect of the Freedmen’s Bank swindle which is now under investigation by a committee of Congress in Washington: ‘ ~Of the effect of it on the thrifty and ‘intelligent portion of t,li;e negro population we need not speak. When a bulldozer goes after a black man with a whip.or a gun it fills him with bodily terror, but it does not shake his belief in the. existenee or mortality itself. But when aband of Stalwarts get together, and, after sweeping over his condition, offer to take care of his money for him, 911(1 having got it, divide' it among themselves and disappear, it makes him doubt whether there is justice anywhere on earth ; and this is very much what the Stalwarts of the bank did. We warrant-that every one of the rogues is to-day bewailing the “outrages” at the south, and shouting for a “steady hand at the helm”’ in Washington. : , Upon whieh the Harrisburg Patriot comments thus: Notwithstanding this gigantic swindle upon the industrious and saving portion of the negro population of the South, the stalwarts Btill expect to preserve their confidence anfl retain their votes. When the colored voters turned with indignation and disgust from the party by whom they had been defrauded to their true friends, the stalwarts raised the cry of “bulldozing” and “outrage.” They still keep up this dishonest cry to conceal the true cause of the defection of the negro vote and of repablican defeat in the South. e : :

IF IT BE IN ORDER to offer a sugges‘tion to democratic politicians and journalists, we would like to advise them to read and study the address of Col. J. W. Forney, delivered at Lawrence,Kansas, at the reunion of the old setilers. It contains matter with which every student of politics should make himself thoroughly familiar. ‘And we would ‘have democratic editors and politicians read and study the address for manifold reasons, chief among which is the necessity of profiting by the lessons therein taught from a historical standpoint. In saying this we do not wish to be understood as endorsing Col. Faorney’s conclusions, nor of giving entire credence to all his statements; upon ‘these points there may be honest differences of opinion.

Tur BANNER cordially agrees with - the Fort' Wayne Sentinel that “there should be no opposition to the nomination of Judge Holman for congressman from the Fourth District. He has a national reputation as aun able and incorruptible legislator, and during his fourteen years experience on the floor of Congress reflected credit upon himself, his State and his-district. Judge ' Holman’s. presence in the House is worth many millions of dollars annually to the tax payers of the country.” True .as gospel. He ought to be sent to Congress just as often as he may be willing to serve. We have thought that he ought to be élected U. 8.
