The Greenback Question.

Just as the republicans, by taking the bull by
the horns, and repudiating the financial recon-
mendations OF the Presidents message, have
fair promise of escaping party division, the DEM
ocrats seem to be gravftating toward a position
which will make trouble within their own lines.
The bombshell which Senator Bayard offered in
the Senate to take away from the greenbackS
their legal tender quality and make them mere
~ treasury notes, or promises to pay, does not
at all meet with the appreciation OF the western
democrats. The most pointed objection the Op-
ponents OF the Bayard scheme offer is that il
the legal tender quality of the greenback is
greenbacks out OF circulation by refusing to re-
ceiye them, and they say, too that If it was to
the advantage of the national banks to drive
them out, as it undoubtedly would be, that
the banks would not hesitate to pursue
such policy. The western democrats
say too that if Mr.. Bayard, through his
resolution hopes to gain Eastern support as
candidate for the presidential nomination. that
he has certainly driven the West away from
him. Gen. Warner, the father Of the silver bill
which is tied up in Senator Bayard's committee,
defend the greenback, the silver dollar, and free
elections. Further than this he believes in a
policy of inactivity.
It is understood that the republicans
in each branch have tacit agreement to
adopt the Carpenter financial resolution
which was printed in the STAR yesterday. This
simply declares the policy Of letting the finan-
cial question rest, or, as many of the republt-
cans put it, to 'slet well enough alone" The
contained in the Fort resolution, is drawn in
smoother terms, and, it is alleged, was shown to
the President before it was submitted, and met
his approval
