THE NATIONAL FINANCES.
Now I'm Better shape Than Mt Any
.Tfiae. This Year.

The national finances are now in better
shape than they have been at any time
this year. Gold coin is being received in
large amounts, as result of the recent
bond TRANSACTION, and coming altogether
from the Golfers of the syndicate and its
customers, instead Of from the subtreas-
uries, as was the case with the two pre-
vious bond issues. The gold balance has
increased to S., 94S, 762, and the total avail
able cash has reached the sum Of $119,002,-
5S7. The increase of these two items in a
ratio of proportion shows that the treas
ury is no longer using its own funds to re-
cruit its gold holdings.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
SAGINAW, Mich, February 2S.-The
democratic state convention, to nominate a
supreme court justice and regent, opened
at noon today. with a brief address by
Rowland Connor, and then adjourned until
o'clock. The convention this afternoon
will undoubtedly adopt extreme free silver
resolutions, and will probably indorse the
honesty and craftsmanship Of Cleveland
without referring to his financial views.
The referee and office-holding element is
strong, and will prevent any condemnatory
resolutions as to the administrators finan-
cial policy, but If they attempt an unquali-
fed Endorsement Of the administration,
there will be a row, and 1t will be defeated.
The attendance is scarcely one-third the
full delegation.
