Patterson is the victim of conspiracy there is no

never have seen the light but for the treachery of
bis particular cronics. He had social party at his

KImpton. Whittemore, Judge Mackey, and Others.

Gen. Brinkerhoff, of Ohio, has made great dis
coverv He has found out that the Democrats #
that State have a resumption plan, and he even
knows the particulars. To be sure as he gives them
they are a little vague, but then they there and
that is something. As he unfolds them they are:
" The Democratic plan laid down in the Ohio
platform, is Numerically the opposite Of the Re-
publican. Instead Of the grayback OF bank note it
bases itself upon the greenback or Treasury note as
the centre of action. and looks to the entire eXtnc-
ton of the National Banks as its ultimate end. Both
plans favor resumption, but their methods are as
wide as the stars. Instead Of tornado of contrac-
tion marking its course with the wrecks of financial
ruin in order to reach resumption on the first OF
January, 1879, the Democratic plan looks To the
healing forces of Nature and the expanding power
Of free institutions and an unshacked commerce.
The Democratic plan neither contracts nor expands,
and its processes are SO gradual that, Whenever
bank note Is withdrawn, a Treasury note; or IT'S
equivalent coin, will take It's place. In snort, u
leaves things as il finds them, aud declines any de-
