accomplished, tho actual sum to DO handled will
be, by BILL $780, $500 aud $3.50; by another $780,

THE PRESIDENT MAKING.
The Eastern Members Favor Mr..
Bayard---Blafne and Bristow the
Republican Candidates.

Ponnsylvania at tho Conventions
The Eastern Members Favor Mr..
Bayarti---Blafne and Bristow the
Republican Candidates.
A letter from Harrisburg to the
New YORK Tribune says:
Five months before the National
Conventions are held it ought to be
easy to ascertain from the members of
State Legislature, fresh from their
homes, the drift of opinion among the
people of a State as to Presidential
candidates.
A pretty strong negative determine
ton exists, however. They do not
know whom they are for, but they
know whom they are against. They
are opposed to Governor 1ildcn. This
feeling is almost universal. 1t proba-
bly, is occasioned by rooted distrust
of the New York Democrats and a
remembrance of the defeats that have
followed whenever they have swayed
a National Convention.
The prevailing sentiment among the
Eastern members favors Senator Bay
ard, but on all hands some doubts are
expressed as to his availability. "He
has too small a constituency at his
back" remarked one member. "Hc
comes from the wrong side of Mason
and Dixon's line" said another. These
two objections are the only ones urged
Except for them he would possess, it is
admitted, every qualification desirable
in a candidate. The members from
beyond the Alleghenies aud from the
lumber regions are almost unanimous
in ,nsr fn Hnunrnnr Han.
bricks. They are much more positive
in expressing their preference than are
the Bayard men, Hendricks represents
then views on the money question
perfectly.
Among the Republicans there begin
to be strong preferences shown, but
no prejudices. 1t is Blaine or Bristow
with them. A few months ago Mr..
Blaine was almost without rival in
the affections OF the Pennsyl.
vania Republicans, but now the Sec.
retary of the Treasury has a powerful
following, gained solely by bis vigorous
warfare upon the Whiskey Ring. Mr..
Blaine's hold upon Pennsylvania is
strong. A sudden wane of popularity
may appear to raise rival higher in
public regard, but the men who con.
troll Republican politics, and VINO will
name the delegates to the National
Convention, continue to be staunch
friends of the ex Speaker. The vot,
of the State will am confident, be
given to him. Besides the two strong
candidates, l hear some mention of
Elihu b. Washburne and little of
Governor Hayes. No one else is
spoken of.

The Currency Question,

Special despatch to the World.
WASHINGTON, Jan. THE discus
sion Of the currency question is sassum.
ing definite shape shape, and there is
talk of some prospect of an informal.
but at the same time authorative, set
tlement OF the financial policy of the
Democratic majority in the House.
The scheme proposed aims at resump.
tioa through compelling the banks to
accumulate certain share of their
reserves in gold, and directing the
Secretary of the Treasury to hoard all
surplus gold with view to resume
Specie Payments as soon as sufficient
means may be on hand. At the same
iims 1t Is designed to repeal the clause
IN the resumption act of last Congress
setting a date for resumption. The
plan does not include the repeal of the
Legal Tender act, and may lot include
the contraction of the currency.
