READ TIE RECORD.

The Republicans are making clam
or over that plank in the S.. Louis
p'a' form which asks for repeal of that
clause of the resumption act fixing Jan.
1, 1879, as the lime when the Govern
ment will begin to pay its notes in coin.
This makes it proper to call frequent
attention to few facts.
When the resumption act was under
discussion in the Senate, Mr.. Thurman,
Mr.. Carl Shurz, and especially the lat
ter, opposed it because it furnished no
adequate means for executing its own
provisions; aud they denounce that
clause which fixes the period of resump-
ton as false pretence. intended merely
to carry the Republican party through
the next Presidential election. Schurz
may have forgotten this, but the pub
lie have not.
Previous to the assembling of the
Cincinnati Convention the question of
the repeal of this act was discussed in
many quarters, and indeed it had as
sunned something of a formidable as
pect. In the Committee on the plat
form in that Convention o resolution
was introduced opposing the repeal. 1t
was voted down in committee by de-
cisive majority. That was the end OF
tho matter; and the platform does not
contain one word on the subject of the
resumption act.
The committee ON the Platform at
st. Louis reported resolution in favor
of the repeal Of so much of the act as
fixes the precise day when resumption
is to oegin. They did this because
they agreed with Schurz in what he
said about its being mere evasion for
tiding over the presidential struggle.
Gen. Ewing of Ohio moved to amend
the report Of the committee by resolu-
ton favoling tho repeal of the entire
resumption act. A sharp debate fol-
lowed. when the Convention rejected
the amendment by vote of about three
to one. and then passed the original
resolution with scarcely dissenting
voice.
With these facts before the country,
there are set Of Republicans who in-
sist that their party alone is oppose to
the repeal of the resumption act, and
that the Democratic party is almost un-
animously in favor of its repeal. If
they will read the record, they will see
how wide of the truth such statements
are. Sun. t~ ---.,
