INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. 20.-Gen. B. +.
Butler spoke this afternoon in the Exposi-

commeuced by saying that the frequency
of our elections has a tendency to destroy
their value and prevent proper apprecia-
ton OF the privilege which was possessed
no oi her nation in the World-that of chos-
ernment and determine the nature of our
laws,
With the view of showing the nature of
financial legislation, he then referred at
great length to the history of the Demo
cratic party and of Congress from the days
of Monroe and Jackson down to the pres
ent time. In the course of this resume he
declared the teaching tof history in this
country and European countries was that
| iirredeemable currency is more easily kept
| at par value than currency redeemable in
coin.
He referred at length to his Congressio-
nal action upon the finance question, and
claimed that he had been consistent in the
views he was now advocating. Speaking
of the RECOGNITION of the South he said i;
had been taken out of the hands of both
political powers by President Hayes and
must now be left to take care of itself. He
wished his Republican friends and the
newspapers who were saying hard things
about him would not allude to anything hs
did previous to 1872. because he was ther
understood 10 be very good man, but HI
had not changed his views. He was il
early life Democrat, believed 10 the fnan
cial view of Jackson and Jefferson The
Democrats at that time were unbelieverI
in hard money, as now understood, and b.
wished to stand on the old Democrat,
doctrine that the government should tax,

and protect him against the greed of capa
talists.

The assertion that the Republican party has

discharge, in order to enable the Union to live
and grow and expand according to its vast ca
paclties It's real work began where this intro
