Thomas W. Browne, late candidate
for Prosecuting Attorney in Grand

which he renounces his allegiance to
the fat party. As showing the drift Of
the party, aud the views Of a thinking
man thereon, we quote the following
portions of the letter:
I have repeatedly stated, both in

The attitude which Rus-ia has as
.0med IN the present Afghan war IL
.,milar to that taken ~ Great Britain
IN the Russu-rurkish contest. IL is
stated upna good authority that the
Russian Government will remain neu-
trail, but will Insist upon taking part in
the settlement Of the terms of peace.
This fundamentally dodge is one Of
the most embarrassing features OF
modern warfare. as it is in cOntrsdic-
iion to the time-worn adage that To the
victor belong the spoils. The British
sovernment, however, must in the
presence accept il with the best grace
possible under the circumstances, hav-

Secretary Sherman told committee
II Baltimore bankers Saturday that
while actual redemption Of greenbacks
at par would, according TO the terms
Of the Resumption act, be confined TO
the Office OF the assistant treasurer at
New York. yet there would he no dis
crimina'ion against other first class ci-
ties. New York was only selected as
being the chief commercial city, II hav.
ing been thonght inexpedient 20 scat
ter the redemption funds. But the
mere fact Of greenbacks being ex-
changeable for gold at New York
would establish the same rate in other
cities. This explanation Of the Secre-
tary will be received with satisfaction
by the bankers aud other business men
Of Chicago who have been wanting TO
know what we have sub-treasury
there for any. Its quite likely that the
provision Of the law limiting the re-
demption process to New York will he
little else than dead letter after the
first rush for gold; in fact, the Secreta-
~ intimates that bankers in all parts
% the country may obtain gold direct
ly from the Treasury Department nj
Washington without premium. which
will place Chicago. Boston, Baltimore
aud other commercial centers on the
sane footing. practically, with New
York.
