The Last Radical Lie.
SECRETARY MORRILL, REFUSES TO
BE USED-MR. BELMONT'S LET
TER IN WASHINGTON.
New York World.l

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2I.-Mr. Bel
mOnts letter has thrown the Radi
cal plot,ers on their beam-end, and
ever since il appeared there has
been hurrying 10 and fro in this
city TO ascei tain what can be said
ia reply. The original plot blum
drfed in referring to letters by
post which could not have been
written in London since the West
era elections alarmed Chandler
and his allies Oh course there are
no letters to produce. Secretary
Morrill, has been implcred to put
him set in the gap, but he declines
10 ultimate that he has seen any
Letters such as the po terS de-
scribed. The most that could be
squeezed out of him was IL general
opinion that If the Democrat C
Congress and it's President insisted
on paying The rational debt in de-
pIeciated greenbacks or still more
appreciated silver, the fun.iing
wou.d be likely TO stop. He adj
mits that the back bone of the
funding is he combination of tie
no ! Q ;hiius in London with Mr..
Belmont In New York, and that all
others are practically their brokers.
He said it Has impossible for him
to say what either the RothscLilds
or M-3t.l4Hont would do. The
fact that Mr.. Ii -InOnt has tbe.en for
forty years the confidential adviser
and correspondent Of this great
European banking house makes it
impossible for the Radicals, great
rs is their despair, to contrOvert
the preemptory statements in NJ.
BeluIont's letter which were cabIed
TO London, and the greatest acriv-
Ity on the part of the small Eepub-
