represented, he has met number
of gentlemen who took part in it.
and other representative men of
France, England, Holland, Belgi-
UNI, Italy and other counties, and
Informally discussed monetary
matters with him. He says these
countries which have demonetized
silver are beginning to discuss the
question whether or not demone-
tization was a mistake.
In Germany particularly the
leaning appears to be toward re-
turn to silver currency, and he
thought it quite likely that the
German Government would soon
show strong disposition to remon.
etize that metal. A similar feel
ing that characterization was mis-
take is also gaining ground in
London and other English cities.
Naturally the movement is slow
among the English people, but
there, as in other countries, the
Senator thinks the decentralization
tide has reached the turning point.
He believes that the United States
cannot stand alone on its silver
policy without European co-opera-
tion. He thinks, in view OF
the present sentiment abroad,
it might be profitable for
the United States Government,
if another Conference could be ar
ranged for the coming Fall or Win
ter, not with a view to present, but
to future results. If silver is re-
monetized in European countries,
he said, it could not of course take
the place Of other metal, but would
soon find its proper secondary
place as medium of exchange.

believe Grant is consenting party
to this extraordinary demonstra-
tion, and fears it will be a great
annoyance and embarrassment to
him on his arrival. He will see at
once that it ia only an electioneer-

Republicans. Grant will have
no reason to complain when
he finds that the projected
ovation has heen so planned
as to exclude majority of the
people in every place through
which he has to pass from any par

is an egregious and discourteous
blunder, which will defeat the pur.

party who think it premature to
select in 1879 a ticket for election
in 1880.
