v John Sherman and Judge Foraker
are not meeting with that responsive
echo to their bloody shirt ravings that
they hoped for when they floated the
fnnl nld ra v in the Ohio breeze. The
better sense and cooler judgment of
the country objects to that style of
campaigning at . this late day, and
Rnmfi of the Rharn reDrimands , ad
ministered to these bloody shirt gentle
men have come from Republican and
Independent journals in the North.
The following extract from an edi
torial in .the American, Waterbury,
Conn., Ind. Rsp., we reproduce as
an illustration of the little stock that
is taken in this sectional warefare by
reasonable people on the other side of
the line:
Judge Foraker broadens the plat
form of Senator Sherman a little in
his opening speech of the Ohio cam
" paign, though still giving the section
: al question what seems to us ill ad vis
ed prominence. He compares the
histories of the two parties, which is
surely to the ad vantage of his own
side if the people were not looking
to the future instead of the past, and,
at a time when .dividing issues are
scarce, were not choosing between
men rather, than between parties.
He says the Democratic party was
turned out of power in 1860 under
-condemnation while the Republicans
were turned out in 1884 with the uns j
.qualified approbation of the country.
This is truer than it - looks on, first
reading The country 4would almost j
certainly '. have continued to trust
the Republican party had its candi
date represented the intelligence, the
honesty and the y. conscience which,
has made, the party powerful and
honorable during a quarter of a cen
tury ot power. "When the party
surrendered itself to its smart,
scheming and dishonest men the
country took power away from it. It
can only recover that power by re
pentence and reform,; or, as usual,
by the mistakes of its opponents.
The tone of Judge Foraker's canvass
will be some indication of the meas
ure of profit the . party has gained
from defeat.'
This is evidently written by a man
who has no particular partiality for
the Democratic party, but ' who has
. sagacity enough to understand why
the Republican party was ousted
tronr power, and candor enough to
say; it. Had the Republican pa4y
. been actuated by a broad, liberal pol
icy, had it tried to be a national
party in fact, and ,not simply a
sectional . party; had- it proved
true to the trusts reposed in
itby the people,and been honestly run
instead of becoming a huge swind-
. ling machine, it could have held the
government of this country for an
indefinite period. At one time by a
liberal,1 wise policy it could have
gained a footing in the"" Southt and
-galled into its fold many men of 'in-;
fluence and intelligence, but its lead
ers threw away their opportunity
and turned the party over to the
. very worst elements in the South,
and made its name the synonym of
infamy. In - reviving the sectional
issue Sherman and Foraker are revi
ving one of the things that killed the
party and cannot bring it to life

Statement of Dr. 7,
Keferenee to the
Rent.
Tothe Editor of Ths Observes,
: Statksville, Sept. 4, 1885. I am
informed, for I have not been
able to get hold -of the issue contain
ing it, that you allege in your paper
that I am renting the present collec
tor of Internal ; Revenue for $25 a
month the same house that I charged
the Government $50 a month -for
while the Republicans held the of-'
nee. . "
Now, in justice to myself, I desire
to state m .your paper the truth of
this matter. I called - on Collector
Dowd soon- after he occupied - my
building, and told him that I had
been informed by my partner, Mr.
Drake: that he had, in my . absence,
rented the building to the Govern
ment for that month "for $25, and
that I had come to protest against it:
inai ine jDuuamg ' was worm sou a
month, and I would, take no less. The
Collector said I was bound-by the
bargain made by my partner, &c. I
then intimated to Maj. Dowd that I
would be glad if he would vacate the
building, and spoke to him of several
buildings in town that belonged to
Democrats that I thought were suit
ed for the office, and that I thought
that he could get them, and that I
thought some Democrat ought to
have the rents. He objected to these
buildings, but when I again as&ed
him to vacate, said that he would
make some temporary arrangements
for a building which started some
talk about the removal of the office
from Statesville. v. -
I then told him my house was
worth $50 per month, that the office
occupied nearly all the space on the
second floor above two large stores ;
that it had been fitted up at large ex
pense to suit the purpose for which it
was used, at the instance of the Uov
srnment itself, and under its instruc
tions, and that the office ought not to
be removed from Statesville:" that
he convenience of the taxpayers res
quired it to be kept w here, and that
rather than the want of a suitable
building should be used as an excuse
or removing the office from States
ville, he might remain in my build
ing and have my half of it for noth
ing, and I called ; Col. Chapman to
witness this proposition on -my part.
1 have ever since adhered to this
proposition, and am still adhering to
it, and this is why the Government
is getting my building at $25 a month.
hold that it is worth $o0 a tmontb.
and so told the Collector again a few
days ago, and that I ought to - have
that much, and said I would apply
to the Government for it, but appre
hended that the price asked might
bs used as an excuse for removing
the office to Charlotte, to the ' great
injury and inconvenience of the, tax
payers of the district, three fourths
of whom live North of this point of
latitude, and are engaged in business
which constitutes the principal
money interests or this section, x
yielded my just rights for their ben
efit. " a:.,
This is "head and front of my of
fending." . ' .

tice .will induce you to publish this.

A Reminder for John Sherman.
Kef erring to the recent speech of
Senator Sherman at Mt. Gilead, Ohio
in which so much : fault was found
with Mr. Cleveland for appointing
ex-Confederates to office, the corre
spondent of the St. Louis Republican
says: A list of the ex-Confederates
appointed .by i Republican presidents
accorded the ravor or Sherman's vote
when before the Senate for confirma
tion would fill two or three columns.
Some of the names are worth recall
ing, however, as for instance, Wil
liam P. Canaday, whom Sherman
helped to make - sergeant at arms of
the Senate. He was m the Confeder
ate army and bis force of employes
including many ex Confederates.

abama, District Attorneys Northump
and Lusk of North Carolina, Walton
and Chandler of Mississippi, and
Washington. September 4 After
the question of the Civil Service the
subject of silver will be the engros
sing one of the next session ef Con
gress Indeed, it may not prove of
subordinate interest to the matter ; of
the offices. I find a number of peo
pie who are disposed to discuss the
course of finance as pursued by the
Administration. ' No definite drift to
the gold standard is perceptible ; in
the Treasury. But Mr. v Manning is
known to nympathize more with
the "gold bugs" tha with the silr?
i tesv The present policy . of paying
oat suver coin is , looked at askance
by some of the silver advocates. Ctie
said to me yesterday : "It means
that the Administration is endeavor
ing to disgust the public by a rush of
the heavy silver dollars. The move
ment is not honestly, conceived. In
the end it is hoped to beat silver-
back. This opinion, is- not shared
by all the sil verites. .
The best judgment in- pohtices is
probably that the Administration
will be prepared to act with the mod
erate silver element in the South and
West, and that no straightout split
in the party on this question is possi
ble. Accommodation is the word.
It seems certain that the v continued
issue of tw millions a mooth of the
standard silver dollar is no practica-
ole. Hx reason of the discrimination
against silver by Republsean Con
gresses and Administrations silver is
depreciated to a val'ie of 83 cents.
The.fact i what it is, no matter how
it became so. Thef thing to do is to
rehabilitate silver. How is4his to be
done? By further issues? Already
there is apparently. more siSver than
is wanted in. circulation that is.
more of the 83 cent dollars. No.
What the; wisest among the silver or
double-staadard old "fashioned Dem
ocrats desire in the raising of the
value of the silver dollar. The ques
tion is. on what basis how much
by what process of ; appreciation? i
There ought to be in the 49sfch Con
gress and the Administration, of Mr. i
Cleveland wisdom to; suffice for the
requirements of the occasion! It is
thought that the President will be
prepared to meet the silver caen half
way and that many of them will
agree to a compromise on the basis
of a fair double standard with, as a
necessary consequence, the discon
tinuance of the provisions of the.
Bland act for the issue of two mil
lions of silver dollars monthly. The
four hundred twelve anl a half grain
dollar is not wanted.. It must go, and
we must have a silver dollar of a near:
er the present valiie of gold in the
markets of the gold. Wall street
may have won," but not wholly. Men;
it is said, must not be governed by
prejudice, however, honest, but, by
righs reason and the 'law H)frp resent
and future advantage.
Mr.' Daniel R. Gxdloe, who-makes
a careful study of the monthly, re
ports of the Treasury and it opera
tions elsewhere ascertained, is posi
tive in his statement that notwith
standing publictions to the contrary,
the government as not for- some
time been paying off a dollar of the
debt. It buys no bonds. It hoards
its specie," for the most part. Mr.
Goodloe is a zealous friend of the Ad
ministration. . ; -
