and upon this ssound '1inah hcialB plank
we will carry tho conntry.S 81
Tho adoption Of such 4 platform
isSbut sound principle, and not nex-
pedient. AS there aie measr,fes
of weight and of .lengtli, $50 there
must be Q measure Of yalue, and this
measuro is gold. All argument to to
the contrary is fallacious, and r. re
grct to 500 several Southern paftpefs
and Southern leaders favoring an
iirrredeemeblo currency. This, course
is injilri0lsl At the same time The
resumption Bill Of last congress is
an outrageous fraud. IL. issabsurdz z1to
fix time forresuming specie pay
ments without making prcparati ois
to resume, John Sherman, the at,l
| thor Of that bill, is the greatest OBJ
staclo in the way Of resumption. n It
disgusted mo to 500 him ahd Bout
well sturnping Ohio iii behalf of
honest mciieY I have denounced
them both, L told Sherman too
that if Boutwell, lla1 been kept at
homo on q salary Of five millions d
year, during tho ,timo ho was score
tary Of the, treasury, it would havo
boon the most economical measure
ever passed by Congress." Tho
senator here EXPRESSED. Il mild wish
that he could have ""sot at them" in
Ohio TO have pluckod their false
plunlago from them. ct is our
opinion he would have given them
fits) i.. .n: - ".g Alf
",rhero is another point" resumed
tho Senator "to which + wish to call
your attention. New England is
fertile in cxpodicnts T 'laYo never
met q Now Englander who cnrci
anything for principle, but thoy are
Ill quick in scoing and catching at u,i
cxpcGent. In order to strengthen
tho government during tho war,
thoy taxed tho State banks out of
existence. The only banking capital
allowed WAS tho government bond.
In consequence all banks are com
poilcd to bo strong supporters of the
administration. Now every man has
n right to use his capital as he
ploases, and it is an outrage to pre-
vent hlm cngcgilig in banking If he
desires The National Bank system
is a monopoly At the close Of the
war, al invitation was given to the
South to opcn banks. This was un
empty privilege. There was no
available capital in tho South to
enable hcr to avail herself Of it. Tt
was like telling chem they could
make bread, where they had no corn.
The tax on State banks must bo re-
moved. Free banking mast DO por-
mittod Tho bills must be redeemed
in gold and Hilvor or in national
bank lillH themselves rclcumablo in
specie Tho Senator then culogizod
the Old bNnks Of this State whose
bills circulated through tho whole
union.
We. informed The Senator that
the South would adopt almost any
platform to beat tkc republican,
party, but that wo believed tho
MASSES preferred hard money
If thoy could get it.. lie
thought that tho fact thrt "that
Hc"ml!rcl Butler was preaching in
ilaion, should, make every friend of
the human raco a hard money man.
We told him that the South we be-
loved would let The northern
democracy mako tho platform and
then would do its best to win "All
right, sir. "snil Ee," if You do that
VOL beat Grant next ycar." "Will he
be the candidate, you think ," Hes
trying for it" AT this point the
train stopped and o,lr intor
view ended. Senator Bayard is
about forty-aix years Of age, we
should Judge, about five feo5 eleven
inches i'll height, neither slender nor
stout, with smoothly shaved face,
sharply cut features, gray eyes,
aqulhnc nose, handsome mouth and
teeth, q chin showing decision,
aflnblo and unostont tations manners,
and having altogether tho appear
anco of containing just tho material
for one of the finest presidents that
ever occupied the white house in
Washington.
Our interview was hurried, and
wo had no opportunity Of taking
notes. SO tho above is merely n
f"nt outline of the Senators ro-
marks.
