and that is resumption, and not by legisla'

cial plank of the platform:
In the face of the fact that the existing
volume of currency is greater than can be
absorbed by business; in the face of the fact
! that the recent fall in prices was followed by
repeated infatons, any attempt to increase
the currency would he worse than Intellectual
to revive prosperity, for it would interrupt the
healing processes of industry. 1t would be
worse than futile to restore confidence, for it
would create distrust and new uncertainties in
business, paralyzing the beginnings of every
enterprise Rob labor of it's scanty means OF
employment, and while sitting the progress Of
legislative reform, we would inflict lasting
dishonor upon the credit, the intelligence and
the character of the country.
The Democratic State Convention Of Ne
braska, in session at Omaha, on the 17th
adopted the following as the sense of the par
ty in that State on the financial question:
We are in favor of sound currency, coin
or its equivalent, as essential to stability in
business and the restoration of prosperity; Of
steps towards specie payment aud no step
backwards; that we deprecate all attempts to
commit the Democratic party to system OF
paper money, based upon an unconstitutional
exercise of Federal power, as crime against
the common welfare, and a wanton violation
of cardinal article of the Democratic creed
Beecher and Moulton.
- District. Attorney Britton, Of Brook
lyn, having addressed note to Mr.. Beecher
proposing to drop the criminal suits against
Tilton and Moulton, in which cases Mr.
Beecher is plaintiff, the clerical gentleman
replies as follows:
District.AHorney Briton DEAR SIR =
Your letter commencing to my attention Ger
tain considerations which incline you to re
linquish the criminal suit against Mr.. Moul
ton and Tilton, was duly received and consid
cred. I think that the views which you pre-
sent are sound and wise. 1t would seem tt
be automatic that no suit should be carried
on in which neither individual nor society
can hope for benefit. Should you, in your
further discretion, enter nolle prosequi,
believe all right-thinking citizens will regare
your act with appreciation, when made aware
of the reasons. Sincerely yours,
H. w. BEECHER.
Mr.. Moulton, however, does not seem t'
take 80 charitable view Of the District-At
torney's proposed action, as does Mr.. Beech
er, and in reply to note from that official h'
de6antly says:
I am indicted for libel in charging the Rev
H. w. Beecher with criminal intercourse
with female member of his congregation
which charge is true-he knows it to be true
and whatever the imperfections of mans tri
bunals, the Supreme Ruler will some day re
veal the truth In the defense of my OWL
character and the character of whose gooc
name is dearer to me than life itself, I hav'
been arraigned as criminal, compelled lik'
felon to plead with uplifted hand, subjected
to the ignominy of bonds against an escap'
from Justice, loaded with obliquy by the pub
lie press, frowned upon and avoided by 30
ciety, and now after the indictment agains
me has served its purpose by discrediting il
advance witness of the Rev. Mr.. Beecher'
guilt, and it is apparent to you as it is to th'
world that l am innocent and must be acquit
ted, at this moment and under these circum
stances am requested to acquiesce in noll'
pros and to suffer my accuser to escape tn
penalty of his perjured prosecution. Never
sir, never. I demand trial, and shall b
ready on any reasonable notice to make gooe
my defense. Very respectfully,
FRANCIS D. MoUIToN.
