desire to acQuaint our friends in 9TH
er parts OF the State with the progress
the reform currency cause is making in
Washington county. In conjunction
with others | have addressed numerous
meetings at school houses and other pla-
ces, which have generally been well at
tended by earnest, anxious hearers. In
All my political experience, l have never
known SO great a desire on the part OF
the people to learn the actual conditions
of the financial affairs OF the country
They have read the hard money Jour
pals to poor satisfaction, having only
been treated to burlesque allusions to
rags rag baby" "honest money!
&C., and have gained no light upon
subject they have so deep = personal
interest in. Hence their great anxiety
to hear the facts in the case, and as Mr.
Hotchkiss, OF the Austin Republican
says, 1.-The more they learn of the mat
ter the more they stick to their green
backs The list of this town, twenty
five in number, does not express the
strength of the cause here. The town
is at least two thirds Tor currency reform
and independent actions. and they will
probably test their strength at the com
ing town meeting, putting an exclusive
ly greenback ticket in the field.
Denmark is moving and will soon
have large club. This town is mostly
for reform.
speak in Woodbury. tonight.
Yours truly.
