from one of its staff correspondents:
81 am greatly surprised to hear that the
action of the Massachusetts, convention
has attracted any special notice outside
the state While l greatly appreciated the
compliment of an Endorsement by my
state, l am not seeking the nomination,
nor am DESTROYS of being the candidate.
nor do | wish any movement made In any
state outside of my own. Already have
earnestly requested that no such move
ment be made in any other state by frieuhs
of mine.
THE important thing now is to make
every effort to have the democrats take
an absolutely sound position on the money
question without evasion or compromise.
| believe this is of vital consequence TO
the party for its present and its future.
am firmly of the opinion that our national
platform ought to explicitly and emphat-
ically oppose the free coinage of silver or
its compulsory purchase. or any compro-
mise legislation in that direction. and that
it ought to indorse and commend the ad-
ministration of President Cleveland FOR rs

TREASURY DEFICIT -T-o,o",""o
The Sccretary's Estimate of Receipts
Was Too High.

Washington April 26.-The treasury de-
felt for the fiscal year ending June 49,
1886. will be approximately S25,oco.oo0. This
is the opinion of officials and others best
qualified to make an intelligent estimate
of the result of the fiscal operations OF
tie year. In his annual estimates sent TO
congress at the beginning of the present
session the secretary of the treasury
estimated the receipts from customs dur
ing the fiscal year at sl72000,000. SO far,
with nearly ten months of the year gone,
tho customs receipts have reached about
s,3i. 900 900. with fair prospect of In
o1easing to $165, 900 900 by the close of the
year.
The estimate of the receipts from inter
nal revenue sources was $l5S,000,OoO Up
10 this date they have reached Sl20 COO 600
and it is expected, the figures for the COM
piete year will be $li6,0OO,OW.
The receipts from miscellaneous sour
res are expected to slightly exceed the
| estimates of $3.50 ,OOO making the tota
| receipts for the year about 1927, OO0, 900.
| The secretary's estimate of the year:
expenditures was 1862 100000, which, ac
cording to his figures, would leave a de
fic.ency of $17.OOo,Ooo.
The actual expenditures, however, 1t II
now thought will aggregate about 1852,
OK. OOO or $4,000. 900 less than Carlisle's es
| innate in December last, so the defici
| at the close of the year, 1t Is believed, will
| not show any very material change from
| Saturdays figures $25, 162, i23. This make
the total deficit for the three fiscal year
ending June g. 1896, $136,s6 ,6l2.
