CONVENTION on 1880.
In regard to the national convention
OF 1850. when Garfield was nominated,
I saw the drift was for Garfield and kele-
-

an able and brilliant man in some re-
Hpects, hn& he aid not have strong win
power. He permitted men OF stronger

that after he was elected president aad
had selected Mr.. Blaine as secretary OF
state. be came Ga me and said that he
would ike ~ appoint me secretary OF
the treasury, bat Mr.. Blaine thought X

esnat0r aaerInap then turned his at
tsntion 70 Secretary Carlisle's speech.
The basic error OF the speech, ne main
tained. Was the secretary.E idea that
the legal tenders could be done away
with entirely.
'-The great mistake was Ia the way
The Democratic administration had
tampered with the gold reserve. 1t
should have issued short honda Of ave
years duratinn. which the people here
would have taken up quickly, at per
OF the government. instead OF lntrench-
ms on the gold reserve. The short
bonds, OF course. would have been paid
for In legal tender. Instead OF doing
this. the administration had permitted
domestic and foreign bankers 10 clear

per cent. carlisie'a plan OF Last nlght

The senator said he dld not know
when the republicans would be able to
organise the senate. When II came to
an issue in regard 10 money he thought
tbs east wolsle be against the west. A.
long as Cleveland was president. he
said there would be no silver legislS-
flon. because he favored sound money
