bus pronunciamientO as gathering OF the
same party could reasonably be expected 10
20, declaring for ga return to gold ana silver
as the basis of the currency OF the country
"with preparation and effective measures TO
"secure the resumption of specie payments 10
he sure this might have been somewhat Detter
expressed. IT'S lfOt so deep as well nor SO
wide as church door but tits enough twiil
serve. There is 10 demand for more green
backs to be twisted out of it, and 1t does az
least declare that the resumption OF specie
payment is a duty which we ought to take effect
i've measures to fulfill. We commend the resoIu-
ton to Messrs. Allen and Thurman, and beg
they will let their constituents know on the
DIST instant what they think about it,
But if these two gentlemen get no particular
comfort from st. Paul, they can get great
deal from Madison. The Republicans of Wis
consin have made platform III that thriving
city. and if their deliberate purpose had
been to throw away the enormous ad-
vantage which the Democratic blunder
in Ohio gave the Republican party,
they need not have changed word
of it, They dodge the financial question py
favoring ga currency convertible with conn.,
(Which everybody fayOrs), and declining 10 re-
commend any effort 10 obtain it, They advocate
the " gradual resumption of specie payments
but as if that indicated process altogether
too prccipitate, they qualify 1t by the 1urthcr
provso that the gradual resumption snail pe
"by continuous steps," " in such manner aS
I" TO disturb the business interests OF the co''h-
try as little as possible" That ought to MAKE
the approach to u sound currency slow enough
70 satisfy even an Ohio Democrat In fact, II
is only another way of saying that the WIS
corsin Republicans are opposed to resump-
ton by themselves, but in favor of
il by their great grandchildren. 1t Is
an avowal that they are either too dull to ap-
prcciate the magnificent opportunity OF retrlcv-
ing the disasters of their party opened To them
bv the financial blunder of the Democrats, OF
too timid to grasp the advantage.
If is satisfactory to know, however, that
on one point the Republicans of Wisconsin are
Is bold as lions. Not the third term, for they
only I" discourage" it, and accept the freSi-
dents letter. The one subject on which they
have a decided opinion TO express ls-N ar
They are opposed to war, inileMbly and mex
orably. now and forever. just hear how thcy
cyprcss themselves: " Resolved, That va in
dorse the policy of adjusting difficulties be-
"twcen This and foreign nations by arbitration
" instead of war and as friends OF justice,
"pcace, and humanity, we shall hail the day
"when this policy shall be adopted
"throughout the world" These are
noble sentiments and do equal credit
TO the head and heart of the delegates who
adopted them. When they go rolling and re-
yerberating across the continent and the sea,
and burst upon the effetc monarchies OF
astounded Europe like a clap of thunder from
clear sky they will undoubtedly make
sensation 1t is pity they could not have
been prccipitated upon the world few weeks
earlier so as to prevent the recent war panic
which filled all the English and continental
papers, and gave the journalists and diplomats
no end of trouble. But it is comforting to
feel that their utterance has lifted great load
of danger from our shoulders, and settled for
ever the foreign policy of our great republic.
The influence of such declaration upon the
destinies of the United States it would he
impossible to estimate.
