SENATOR BAYARD's FINANCIAL RESOLUTION
Finance continues to be the chief subject
OF discussion in congressional circles, and
the special topic to-day was Senator Bay.
ards resolution, which I gave in my last
nights dispatches. 1t OF course meets with
opposition among Democrats entertaining
the views Of Senators Coke, VOORHEES,, and
Beck, but it has more Democratic strength
? than had anticipated. The Delaware Sen
ator announced the same doctrine in his
speech OF May %, 1878, and talks freely ir
regard to it. His object is to bring the
, Democratic party back to the position il
: formerly occupied against the constitutions
atty OF issuing Government paper-money
in time of peace. I asked the best-in'
formed Democratic financial correspondent
here to-day what he thought Of it, and he
said it was wise and polite, and that the
Democrats could win on it. I soon after
wards encountered 4 southern journalist,
whose initials are familiar to all Virginians,
and he thought the resolution ought not to
have been offered. Said he, " Our business
men want stability in the currency, and all
tinkering with it is, in my Judgment, a
mistake
THE REPUBLICAN SIDE OF THE FINANCIAL
QUESTION.
I stated yesterday that Mr.. Sherman had
practically backed down from his recon-
incubation in regard TO greenbacks, and
the evidence accumulatcs that he is not
prepared to brave the opposition which it
has already encountered at the hands Of the
western Republicans. A friend Of Mr..
HAYES assures me that he is not inclined to
press his views, now that lie finds Carpen-
ter a. Co. hostile to them.
PRESIDENT HAYES HAS A TALK WITH SOFT
MONEY BROTHER.
hear that Mr.. Fort (Republican), OF Hi
nois, who offered the resolution in the
House Tuesday, had frank interview with
Mr.. Hayes at the White House to-day. The
President said he didn't intend that his
views as expressed in his message should
be regarded By Congress as recommends
ton for immediate legislation, but simply
ms q matter that must be eventually settled.
