DEAR StR:+ Youf.letter Of, Tho 6th inst.
I,isreceived. II have no w6hder Il, ID The
face Of such ttelegtaihs as have Been sent
over the wires, you should feel distracted
and eonnfouhdsd,I but there i not one
word OF truth In the whole story you mem
tipn. Nobody here has ptop6sed 70 te-
cele from the position we have taken on
the Resumption Act, lis feasibility and i'd
visibility No member OF the Eabinet has
proposed aickange, nor has the President
been consulted, ,uor has any one thought
ofsuch'a thing. The whole, thing was b
scandalous and outrageous fabrication.
Theichange I'M the mode of paying but sil-
yer dollars was the preteSf, But. the real
object II seems to me, was simply 0 desire
bs newspaper correspondents ID create d

verted an interview lhad with u Repu ublit

made clear within day Or two! Go On,
