a Long One.
WASHINGTON, July 31.-Ex-Spcaker
Crisp arrived in Washingt on, last evening
from Georgia and took up his old quar-
ters at the Metropolitan hotel.
When asked whether the prevailing
financial distrust was due to the exist
encc of the Sherman law. Crisp replied
that it was certainly due to the want
of public confidence. but Exactly what
caused that condition Le was not pre-
pared to say. Crisp is not inclined to
talk freely on the pr ohHbility of the re
peal of Sherman law. Tne pare
question of the repeal could hardly, Mr..
Crisp thought, be considered alone, for
while it was true that the Democratic
party was opposed to the law and de-
manded it's repeal in the platform it was
not known to what extent the conditions
would be insisted upon.
Mr.. Crisp could not say he stood upon,
the proposition for free coinage OF
American silver at an increased ratio.
One of the things Mr.. Crisp was con-
fident of, was that the coming
session would not be brief one.

The Treasury regulations have given TO
