| SARATOGA. Aug. 2.--Senator Hend-
ricks arrived in Saratoga this morning.
The stanch old Democrat looks hale and
hearty. His face has a rosy, florid glow
Of health and his step is as elastic as a
boys. Senator Hepdsicks is medium
sized, stout gentleman, with large,
open face, closely shaved. His head is
large aud crowned with sandy hair. He
is full blonde.
met the Senator on the balcony or
the States, in company with a gentleman
whom he introduced as Mr. Henderson.
| think II was Senator Henderson. After
short conversation / handed the Sena-
tor Mondays Sun, pointing my finger to
this editorial paragraph.
$50 Hendricks is coming out for PEN
dletons doctrine Of more greenbacks.
Well, who would have believed it? Cow
crnor, good-byl''
what do you think Of that, SENATOR
Iasked.
81 can't see very we'll: suppose you
read it. Eli, !" replied the Senator,
Taking the paper back, I read the
paragraph.
"What do you think Of it9p asked the
Senator slowly.
Yes, what do you think Of it?"
"Well, who wrote it?"
Undoubtedly Mr.. Dana wrote ii"
said.
sWell, Eli tell Mr.. Dana that 1t is not
true. Tell him II he will read someo Of
my speeches that he will find that liz
do not believe in too much currency
"Well, Senator" said, suppose you
state something tangible as to how you
do stand on the money question. Are
you for rag money or specie?"
"Well, really don't want to say any,
thing in the newspapers. I've come
here for rest.v
"But the paragraph will 60 the rounds,
said, "ifyou don't contradict It."
"Well, then, will say this, continu-
ed the Senator thoughfully, want Gov
Allen Of Ohio elected. do not want
two kinds of money, each with differ
ant value. We must get to specie
basis as quick as we can naturally.
Things must take their own conrse, but
they must end ia one medium of trade,
and that must be hard money. In the
mean time | want the volume ofcurron-
cy kept equal to the wants of trade"
Have you read Thurman's speoch2''
asked the Scuator.
mo, not yet, !" said /.
"Woll, | like it. 1t suits me. Both
parties seem to be split upon tho cur
rency question. Now, Sherman, Nor
rill, and Conkling are for hard moneys
while Morton, Terry. and Logan are for
more currency. There are Democr attic
hard monty men aud Democratic soft
money men--Democratic resumers and
Democratic inflators; but i'll must take
my position one side or the other, will
take it against imitation"
Then turning to his friend, Senator
Hendricks remarked, "Come, Henderson,
let's call on Gov. Tilden, )" and the two
passed into Tilden's cottage.
Senator Hendricks is very much OPP
posed to committing himself publicly just
now on the money question. He thinks
Pendeton and Mclean have made great
discord in Ohio.
Another well-known Democrat stand
ing byremarked:
"Wash. Mclean has always ruined
every candidate he has ever supported.
He killed Pendleton and now he's done
what he could toward killing the DEM
ocratic party In Ohio. Mclean is for
population out and out, or the same
thing In III He wanfq IN M . fl,a M
tional debt in greenbackss He says,
The Germans hold our bonds, and pa
per money is good enough for the id
Dutchmen.' But in my opinion" con-
tinued the gentleman, Thurman will
outlive the whole rag money crowd.
He'll dance on Pendleton's and Wash.

Gle and Presidential commission In his
hands," ELI PERKINS.
