THE NATIONAL PARTY.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct, 2O.-Gen, Thomas
Ewing, Of Ohio, says he believes the National
party is gathering force every day, and that
1t will cause a recast of the two great parties.
He adds the Republican party is, and will Ger
talnly remain, the party of forced resum ption
and hard money. Three-fourths of the Demo-
cratic party is already committed to the repeal
OF the resumption scheme and the substitution
of greenbacks for bank notes. These are the
foremost and vital questions of the day. No
shutlllng evaslons OF issues will be tolerated by
the people in either the leaders or platform.
Both parties must meet them honestly
and squarely, thence Greenback aud anti
resumption Republicans will come to us
and the hard money and forced RESUMPTION
Democrats will 60 to them. The National
movement, think, will precipitate the result,
but If the Democracy should attempt to go on
and the party of the people In the West, it will
lose Its grand opportunity. The National party
will then grow formidable, and the division
which lost US Ohio will lose us the next Presi-
Dental election or give US the best chance of
carrying election into the House. The National
and hurt Others. 1 suppose it helped
Hurd, Converse and Dickey. It certainly
hurt Warner, Wiley and myself who
are among the most pronounced Greenbackers
of the State. That movement in our three dis
trlcts was manipulated by the use of money or
threats by employees of workingmen SO as to
throw the Republican Nationals for hard money
candidates and hold the Democratic Nationals
to the support of their own party candidates.
AS whole the National movement in the Con-
gresslonal elections was merely disturhi 10
and almless farce, and it's effect in each dis
trlct depended on the preferences or interest of
such men in the locality as CHANGED to have
money or power to manipulate it.
sHERMAN's ORDER.
1t IS charged by the opponents of Secretary
Shermans order relative to the transmission Of
bank notes for redemption that the effect Of It
is a virtual contraction of the currency. The
recent fall IN Wall street stock and the dimi-
mutton of legal tenders in the bank statement
ale cited as evidence of this tendency. The
treasury officials, on the contrary are of the
opinion that the order will result in a practical
expansion of the currency in regions outside Of
the few great cities which carry heavy lines of
discount
ColIE TO GRIEF.
Another employe of the House of Repre-
sentatives has come to grief. Special agents of
the postofhce department have arrested John
Kluck, messenger in the Office of the clerk of
the House of Representatives, on the charge of
opening and purloining letters addressed to
dressed to officials, together with bank checks
on the United States treasury. one of which for
$400, had been filled up and the name of Green
Adams. chief clerk, forged thereto, were found
in Kluck's trunk
