LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept 21.-Gon. Cassius NJ.
Clay has deserted tho Republican party OF
which he was one Of tho founders. and has de-
clared that he will vote for Palmer and Buck
ner. The announcement will create something
of a sensation. as Gen. Clay was q candidate for
the Republican nomination for Governor in
1887, when Gen. Buckner was nominated by
the Democrats He was one of the frat Aboli-
tionists In the South and was Republican ora
tor when he had to take his life in his hands to
go upon the stump. In an interview to-day he
said
Il have always been free trader and for
that reason am opposed to Mr.. Mckinley. His
record. too. in Congress shows that he is O
friend Of silver. and have seen enough wild
cat schemes in my day to understand that any
attempt to cheaper our money means wide
spread disaster. and this disaster will be felt
most keenly by the laboring man.

There was large attendance yesterday at
the MONDAY meeting of the Wholesale Dry
Goods Republican Club at $50 Broadway.
The first speaker was the Hon. John r. Van
Wormer. He said that the Democrats had
nominated funeral director for the Cover.
norship of the State Of New York, and that
Sexton would have been n moro appropriate
name for him than Thaoher. Referring to the
currency question, he said: II have In my
pocket several specimens Of Japanese, Chinese,
Mexican, ana Indian silver ccina that pur-.
chased on Wall street for from so TO 55 cents
on the dollar. 1 have also Venezuelan coin
and n French coin that cost ms e5 cents each.
Why did l pay moro for the Venezuelan and
the French money? Because the two coun-
tries run business according to tho gold stand
ard. We must have sound money to main
tain business confidence. It is not a great
quantity of dollars that is required, but sound
and nimble dollars. The nimble dollar does
the business Many idle dollars do no good"
Ssate Senator Raines said that he had great
respect for the city of New York because New
York supplied the bulk of the capital for tho
Industries OF the whole country. He thought
also that New York should have some regard
for him because the Raines law had lessened
the amount Of general and loca, taxes on prop
erty by taking more money from the mon who
desire hotel and liquor licenses. Referring
to the present commercial depression, he said:
"Our salvation is to protect our own indus
tries, and TO pay our own workingmen With |
dollars that are worth 100 cents In gold"
