@ People who depend upon ordinary
brains will be perplexed by the clause in
the St. Louis platform denouncing hin.
drauces to the return to species payments,
and naming as such hindrance the re-
sumption act of 1875. and demanding the
repeal Of the same. To most intelli.
gences promise to resume commits
party to resumption, and the repeal of
such pro mise looks sasplciously like
hiudrauce to resumption. The fact is,
the Efforts Of the Democratic leaders to
reconcile their sectional differences on
the currency question have completely
betoeged them. They doubtless think
the people OF the United States such in.
formal fools as to swallow reasoning like
the above. Next November will sweetly
