THE CHANCES EOR SPECIE RE
SUMPTION:

A late statement from Secretary BRIS-
TOW regarding the amount of gold in
the Treasury reveals the fact that we are
hardly in condition TO even think about
the resumption OF specie payment. 1t
seems that the nominal amount of
coin on hand is $9l,GsL02S l.. But
unfortunately from this has to be deduct
ed S33.97S, 300 Of coin certificates, Sl4,-
lG36IS. 20 of silver com and bullion. and
some other amounts Of gold held for the
pavment of certain interest that Is
overdue. When these deductions are
made there oRly remains the very mod
crate sum O: slS,&H ,423.76 gold for the
redemption of $4OoOoo,ooo of green
backs.
From this the pubic may see for it.
self what the chances are Cor resumption,
according TO the SHERMAN act of the last
Congress, on the Isl of January. 1879,
less than three years from the present
time. The very idea OF such a thing Is
absurd, and yet, with the treasury in such
condition. that force resumption act was
nsssed by the last Radical Congress which
fortunately will never aillict the
country, and not only passed, but hur-
ried through under the call of the pre-
vious question, without permitting the
Democrats to debate on it or to expose
AS they would then have done, lis loo'-
ishness. No greater degree OF ignorance
regarding the actual state OF the Nat
ionsl finances, nor more utter lack OF
craftsmanship could be SHOWN, and yet
the Radical party still pirate about their
ability to run the government,
and boast that they will be
successful in the coming campaign.

arrangement as that by which its faithful

THE Investigation now gong on re-
sarding SCnENcK's connection with the
Emma Mine business, reveals the fact
that the whole transaction was Just one
big piece OF swindling. Foreign CAPT
tslists were induced by false stories about
the great wealth of the mine to invest.
and having done so, found that their
money was gone, and they themselves
completely deceived. General ScHEScK,
our Mir lister to tie Court of St James,
and champion poker player of the
world, was director in the concerns
but he satisfied his conscience with the
highly moral conclusion that he was sim
ply carrying out scriptural teachings.
These foreigners were strangers and it
was his duty to take them in.

THEATRlcAL.-Our people will enjoy

The CRAFT:-The editorial fraternity
isiwell represented on the local tickets
in the present campaign. Mr.. w. B.
Daniels, editor of the Vancouver hide
pei ,dent, is a candidate for Representa-
tive in Clarke county, and Mr.. julius
Dickens, editor of the Express, an as
pitant for the position of Treasurer in
Pierce, both gentlemen of irreproacha-
able character and more than ordinary
ability. The only objection we find to
them is that their politics is not pre-
cisely what we would wish it to be, but
as craftsman we feel decided inter-
est in anything which may promote
their welfare; and if, mid the fortunes
of war, it is decreed that our candidates
must yield the trophies of victory to
their political opponents, they cannot
fall into better hands.

OVATION.

The reception of Mr.. Judson by his
fellow-citizens of Thurston county, in
this place, last Saturday evening was a
tribute of Of respect seldom shown to
any man. 1t was an uprising of the
masses irrespective of party, to accord
a distinguished mark of respect where
honor was due. In the afternoon. a
large number of our citizens went to
Tumwater in carriages to receive and
greet the next Delegate and escort him
to town. Their return, in the dusk OF
evening, was the signal for general re-
joicins. Bonfres were lighted and
buildings Illuminated, while the can
mons roar and the chime of bells
sent forth joyous welcome.
After arriving at the New England
Hotel, which was brilliantly illumi-
for the occasion, Mr.. Judson appeared
on the balcony, in response to repeated
calls, and in brief manner he ten
dered his thanks for the high compli-
ment paid him. Later in the evening
a grand torch-light procession was
formed, which, preceded by the band
moved through the principal streets
and escorted Mr.. Judson to Columbia
Hall, when the largest audience that
ever assembled in Olympia, listened
for nearlytwo hours to a bold manly
and explicit enunciation of the issues
CT the campaign from our standard
bearer. It is not necessary to give q
review of Mr.. Judson's speech, which
from limited space, would necessarily
be brief and imperfect. The large
audiences which have greeted him a
every point, has made his sentiments
household words in each community
At the close of his remarks, three
rousing cheers were given for Judsor
! and Reform.
At Seattle, on Monday evening, al
| equally enthusiastic demonstration
took place. The Olympia torches ano
ftransparencies did service and were
carried in the procession by a large
delegation, of our citizens, who visited
the sister city by invitation to partici-
pate in the affair. Yesler's large hal
was filled to overlooking, by a de-
lighted audience, who after Mr.. JUDD
sons speech were addressed by Messrs
white, Clark, Burke and others.
L If these public demonstrations are q
fair indication of the issue of the can
Eass, Mr.. Judson will be elected by as
large majority as that cast for Judge
McFadden.
