CA1cAeo, Sept. 2lst.-The fol-
lowing letter was received here to-
day by Thos. NJ. Nichols, Secretary
Of the Honest Money League, in
answer to one addressed by him to
Secretary Sherman regarding the
recent reports about a change of
his views and the policy of resump-
ton. 1t is the most emphatic
declaration on the subject which
has come from any of the heads of
Departments at Washington:
WAsHINGToN, Sept. 10, 1878.
Dear Sir: Your letter OF the
! 10th inst. is received. | have no
/ wonder if, in the face Of such tele-
grams as have been sent over the
wires, you should feel distracted
and confouuded, but there is not
one word of truth in the whole
story you mention. Nobody here
has proposed to recede from the po-
sition we have taken on the re-
sumption act. AS to its feasibility
and advisability no member of the
Cabinet has proposed a change, nor
has the President been consulted,
nor has any one even thought of
such a thing The whole thing was
u scandalous and outrageous fabri-
cation. The change in the mode OF
paying out silver dollars was the
pretext, but the real object, it seems
% me. was simply desire by the
newspaper correspondents to create
a sensation. They have falsitied
and perverted an interview l had
with Republican editor here, but
think the correction has already
been fully made, or will be made
] clear within day or two. Go on
J therefore, with courage and hope
You may be certain there will b,
! no letting down by the executive
branch of the government as to re
sumption on the first day of Jan
uary.
; Very truly yours,
(Sigued) JOHN SHERMAN.
