Especial to the Democrat.l
WASHINGTON, Feb fisherman & Co.'s meg
sage to Anderson Is published here this after
noon, and completed the destruction OF Hayes
support. Among the Democrats the feeling Is
one of the most intense disgust and conten pt,
for everybody understands that sherman's OBJ
ject Is to keep Wells and Anderson quiet by
holding out the false hope OF suceor or rescue.
sherman's 3 theory is. that If Wells and Anler-
son can be kept quiet until after they are both
convicted and in the penitentiary. their revea-
tions will not have so much weight as now,
when the whole public Is expecting them and
prepared to believe them.
Sherman knows very we'll that the hopes he
holds out are delusive. and that the United
States courts can do nothing. 1t will be won
derful II John Sherman. after having by prom
ises OF protection and reward duped Wells
and Anderson into the commission OF their
crime. should now succeed in duping them into
silence by holding out equally insincere and
abortive hopes Of rescue.
Sherman IL playing desperate game of
bluff. and IL he can keep Wells and Anderson
quiet until the storm blows over he will win
But you can rest assured that there will be no
interference by the United States Courts the
House Of Representatives will take care OF any
United States Judge who may mix In this fight.
and no Judge can be found TO play the part Of
Durell over again. However. If Wells and An
derson see f1t to be bamboozled by John sher-
man again, 1t la no affair OF ours.
Packard for Col ector.
0'here is every prospect that Packard will be
nominated for Collector. Nobody else Ia really

transmitting q report from the Secretary OF

Mr.. Davis. Of West Virginia. then took the
floor and addressed, tho senate in favor of the
remonetization OF silver. He showed. by the
Rer irredaemable paper money. had more specie
than England and Germany combined, the
amounts in round numbers being, France.

He refsrred to the, fact that Germany and the
United States had demonetized silver about tho
same time. and cnntrasted their financial con-
dition with that OF France, claiming that France
held the better position. notwithstanding she
had to pay to Germany over s1.ooo,ooo,ooo as II
Capital and labor, he maintained, should go
hand In hand together, and no country could be
prosperous while these two were at enmity. and
therefore be would notify to antagoni ize the two.
He noticed the apr eeiation of the legal notes
to nearly par with gold, and said he attributed
it to the prevalence Of the belief that silver was
to be restored rs a currency. With q limit ct
its coinage to $50, 600 annually. he felt conf
don't the demand Of our own and of foreign
countries would prevent any redundancy Of
silver. -Four flfhs Of the laboring class he
maintained favored the passage Of the bill.
while the opposition came almost entirely from
the money centres.
England with single standard. had seen her
gold decrease, while France, with double stand |
ard, bad largely increased her stock. The re-
turn Of United States bonds from abroad he did
not attribute to the agitation of the silver dues |
tion but to the large excess of our ex ports over
our imports, the difference la 1876 being s173 |
600 0001nd in 1877 $l40OOO 900 or $500 900
in the two years. The return of our bonds to |
be held by our own people would be productive
Of great good. The prosperity Of france under |
her great debt he attributed to the fact that her
own citizens were her creditors. 1t was notice
able. he said. that shile our bonds were coming
back gold and silver were coming In with them
