The President said, Davenport is en-

use of this fund, the Attorney General
evaded and lodged and seemed reluct-

phe following is the important part oi
the platform:
4. We believe in our ancient doctrine
that gold end silver are the true and safe
basis for the currency, and we are in fa-
vor OF measures and policies that will
produce uniformity in value in the ooin
and paper money OF the country without
destroying or embarrassing the business
interests Of the people.
volume Of Dur paper currency, and de-
clare in favor Of the adoption OF meas
ures looking to the gradual retirement
of the circulation of the National Banks
and the substitution therefor OF oirou-
lating notes issaed by authority Of the
Government.
6. We Recognize with patriotic salts.
faction the vast reonpeYatiye energies
with which our country is endowed, and
we observe that in spite OF the inter.
ference with the laws Of commerce
which has been practised, our currency
has improved i1 proportion as our wealth
has increased and the sense Of national
and local security has been confirmed.
We are, therefore, Of the opinion that q
natural return To specie payments will
be prompted by the increase Of national
wealth and Industries by the assurance
OF harmony at home and peace abroad,
and by Strengthening our public credit
under a wise and economical admin3s-
tration Of our national affairs.
7. The legal-tender notes constitute q
safe currency, and one especially valu-
able to the debtor classes because OF It's
legal-tender quality, and we demand the
repeal Of the legislation enacted by the
Republican party providing for Its with
tuition therefor of National Bank paper.
:. The act Of Congress for tine resqmp-
tion Of specie payment on the 1st Of Jan.,
1879, WAS a party measure, devised In
secret caucus for party ends, and forced
through the House Of Rsprosen entatives,
without the allo vance of amendment or
debate, under party discipline. It para.
ly zes industry, creates distrust OF the
future, turns the laborer and producer
out OF employment, is q standing threat
upon business men, and should at once
be repealed, without any condition what
ever.
The remainder Of the document II
made up OF giittering generalities re-
garding economy, temperance, public
schools, Union soldiers, etc.

The Money That Chinks. !.

G. A. White, the fractional currency
teller Of the Assistant U. s. Treasurer's 8
office, has been busy as mailer all day
paying out silver to the crowds of push.
ing, hauling and scrouging people who
called at Che Custom-house to-day to
exchange their shinnies for the money
that has metallic sound.
The jam was so great, and the confu-
sion incident to their frenzied efforts to
the services Of Police Officer Moran were
needed to keep even the semDlance of
order. Fully $4,000 were paid out by
Mr.. White up to o'clock to-day. Verify,

Bristow's Turn Again.
A Washington special to the Evening

retary Bristow had that members of the
House Committee on Expenditures In
the Treasury Department. were last week
secretly taking testimony regarding the
old and exploded story connecting Bris-
tow with improper transactions while
District Attorney in Louisville, was
derived from one Of the witnesses.
This witness went to Bristow and said
he had been confronted With certain tes-
tim0ny IN the Committeeman regard
ing himself which he characterized as
false in every particular. Up TO the
present time the Committee has not
notified Bristow nor afforded him an op-
porlunity to appear and give the lie
direct to these stories. Secretary Bris-
tow has sent letter to the Committee
on Expenditures asking to be heard in
answer to the testimony Of Judge Bart
ley, Of Washington, which was taken in
secret last week.
Judge BARLEY testified that BMstow,
after seiZing a number of distilleries in
Kentucky, when United States District
Attorney, took $4,000 In consideration
OF resigning and procuring the release Of
the property. Bristow's letter protests
against this method of secret proceed
ing, and asks that he be called for ex.
animation under oath, and that the off.
