ADMINS rRATION'S POSITION.
Assistant Secretary Hamlin's Statement
Believed to he Semi ficial.

Believed to he Semi-Official.
WASHINGTON, July l6.-The Evening
Star says: Assistant Secretary Hamlin
of the treasury department gave out a
short statement during the afternoon,
in explanation of his position with re.
gard to the Democratic platform and
nominations. Inasmuch as Mr.. Ham.
lin represented the administration
forces at the Chicago convention, and
has been i'll frequent consultation with
Secretary Carlisle over the political sit
uation since the adjournment Of the
convention, the statement made by him
will undoubtedly be accepted by many
as a semi-oficial declaration Of the pc.
sition of the sound money men of the
administration. This impression Is
further strengthened by the belief that
/ Mr.. Hamlin has seen President Clevo-
land since the adjournment of the con-
vention. He spent several days at
Marion, near Gray Gables, on his way
Washington from Chicago. The state
ment referred to is as follows:
Mr.. namlin's Views.
mo political issue is involved IL the
coming election. The question TO &c
decided is far deeper and more vital
The perpetuity of Republican inst!tu-
tions has been threatened. Every loyal
citizen should ally himself against the
forces which controlled the Chicago
! convention, forces of lawlessness which
are inconsistent with the maintenance
of the reI1lblic. Henceforth there
should be no Republican, no Democrat.
but a union of loyal citizens against the
combined forces of Reputation and dis
order. When once this dangerous Gle.
ment has been stamped out at the polls
by an indignant people we can again
divide and discuss those political ques-
lions which for generations have kept
alive the two great political parties.
