In brief conversation with Hon. A. Fl.

In brief conversation with Hon. A. II.
A. Stuart, the other day, he expressed the
confident belief that the country was on
the threshold Of unexampled prosperity,
and the time was not far in the distance
when the evidences OF it would be mani
tested in industrial activity and interchange
of all kinds of property, especially real es-
tate. The verdict of the people in the
Northern and Western States in favor of
honest money and the financial policy of the
government, he regards as a healthy sign,
and the assurance that We are to have sub
stantially no interference with the methods
now being pursued to restore the business of
the country to normal condition. He further
expressed the belief that the result OF the
elections on the 9Th Of November substan-
TALLY settled the greenback question, at
the same time it indicated that the Repub-
licans would take another lease OF power to
continue for twelve years to come. The
Democracy had every reason to justify the
conclusion that they would elect the Presi-
dent in 1880, until they commenced to pan
der to the imitation policy, but now he could
see no encouraging sign to favor them in the
next Presidential contest Mr.. Stuart is
very pronounced against the Greenback
folly, and considers it reflection upon the
American people to presume that they will
recognize any other financial system than
that which is based upon the money Of
the Constitution, and indicated by the ex-
perience of all civilized governments. Mr..
Stuart spoke in high terms of commenda-
ton of the President and his administration,
especially the financial feature of it. The
Federal appointments in Louisiana, he
thought were wrong, and a great blunder,
but with this exception lie had nothing but
good words for the administration.
