always favored, ana favors to-day, the use of
silver as part of our circulating medium, but
it favors that use under such provisions and
safeguards as shall not lmperil our present
National standard.
The policy of the Republican party is to re-
tain both gold and silver as part of our cir
culating medium, while the policy of free
coinage of silver leads to certain silver mono
metallism. 1t is an imm utable law that two
moneys of unequal value will not circulate to-
geTher, and that the poorer always drives out
the better.
The Republican party, desiring fairly to Sc
cure a larger use of silver, pledged itself in
favor of an international agreement Harri-
son, true to the pledge of the party, took the
initiatory steps and invited an International
monetary conference at Brussels, ct which the
subject of an international coinage agreement
was ably and protitably discussed.
The Democratic party was also committed
to international bimetallism, but when came
into power the work which had been so aus
pieiously begun by the Republican party was
abandoned. 1t was SO absorbed in its efforts to
break down the Mckinley law and empty the
Treasury that it had no time to promote inter-
national bimetallism.
Those who profess to believe that this
Government can, INDEPENDENTLY of the other
great commercial powers, open its mints to
the free and independent coinage of silver at
ratio of 16 TO 1, when the commercial ratio
in all the great markets is 80 to l, and at the
same time not drive every dollar of gold out of
circulation but deceive themselves Great
and splen lid as our Government is, it cannot
accomplish the impossible; it cannot create
value; it has not the alchemist's subtle art OF
transmitting unlimited silver into gold, nor can
it by omnipotent fiat make so cents worth 100
cents. AS well undertake by resolution OF
Congress to suspend the law of gravitation as
attempt to compel an unlimited number OF
SO cent dollars to circulate with 100 cent dol
lars at parity with each other. An attempt
to compel unlimited dollars of such unequal
value to circulate at parity is bad in morals
and is vicious IN policy. Sound thinkers upon
the great question of the currency know from
the beginning of the experiment. how miser-
ably and certainly it would fail. The COM
merce of the country wouldbe again thrown
upon the sea of uncertainty and the specter
of want would continue to haunt us for years
to come.

free coinage of silver foreign credits would be

the convention as far as completed will be
made permanent and the work of the con-
vention shortened. The committee adj
iourned until 1880 P. NJ. without taking q
vote on the pending motion.
Before adjourning, however, Messrs.
Thompson of Ohio, Hepburn of Iowa and
Gown of Nebraska were appointed COM
mittee to formulate rules for any contests
that the committee may hear.
j. Franklin Fort of New Jersey is chair

Nearly every member of the committee
responded to the rollcall when they re-
assem- bled at 7:30.
Mr.. Sutherland of New York moved
that representative of the press associa-
tons be admitted to the sessions of the
committee, and this was carried unani-
mously, all other persons not connected
with the com mittee's investigation being
required to withdraw.
A subcommittee reported in favor of
giving two hours for the discussion of the
Higgins-Addicks Delaware case and an
hour and half to the Texas case. This
report was antagonized by Mr.. Hepburn
of Iowa, who moved that two hours be
given to each side in this contest,

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 16.-The first
days session of the eleventh National Re-
publican Convention, which opened
shortly after noon to-day in the hall
erected for that purpose by the patriotic
citizens of st. Louis, was unrelieved by a
single incident to lift the interior pro-
ceedings above the level of fat and un-
interesting monotony which character
ICES the exterior of the building
There was an immense assemblage; a
great waving of fans in a torrid heat; an
hour or so of prepared oratory, the deliv-
erance of which failed to reach more than
one-ftth of the vast auditorium, and a
prompt ad iournment to await the reports
of the committees on credentials and plat
form. Other committees were of course
appointed, but these two were the only
ones upon which public interest centered.
The credentials committee early made
manifest purpose to pass most OF the
night on discussion OF the Delaware and
Texas cases, which were specifically re-
ferred to their adjudication by the Ma
tional Committee. In each OF these cases
the delegates es-at-large had been excluded,
and the National Committee was unwill-
ing to decide between the contesting fac
tions. In the Delaware case Senator

complicated matters In the Texas con-
test was involved the legitimacy of the
new oily white" movement. which is per-
picking Republican organizations in the
| South.
The action of the committee in setting
apart three and a half hours tonight for
the consideration OF these cases is taken
as an indication that it will confine its at
tention to matters specifically referred to
it and let the other contests stand as set
tied by the National Committee.
| Prophesying is risky profession in con-
nection with body which has already un-
dergone so many lightning changes as
have come over the course of this conven-
ton. but this seems to be the programme.
That is to say, to decide the Delaware
and Texas cases and the few disputed dis
trict cases in New York, California and
some other States, which have been in
terms referred to the credentials commit
tee by the National Committee and then
| by sweeping omnibus resolution to adopt
the temporary rollcall as the permanent

adopted, will of course elicit strong oppo-
sition from dissatisfied Contestants, but
as few of them will have spokesmen on
the floor of the convention they will prob
ably have to air their grievances on the
outside.
| The platform committee conducted its
labors behind closed doors, and did not
permit the privileged reporters OF the
United. Press to listen to its deliberations,
which undoubtedly were vastly more in
teresting than anything said before the
credentials committee.

tees, the curious movement started to

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 16.-Just as soon
as the committee on credentials had or
ganized, J. c. Cowy of Nebraska submitted
the following resolution:
Resotved, That the roll of delegates and alter
mates prepared by the National Committee for
the purpose OF temporary organization be and
the same is hereby adopted by this committee
as the true and correct roll of the delegates
and alternates to the convention, and that this
committee proceed with the hearing of the
contests referred to it by the National Commit
tee, viz, the delegates and alternates from the
State of Texas.

lowing substitutes:
Resolved, That the secretary be instructed to

con tests for seats in the conven ton, ana that

The name of Joseph B. Foraker was sent
up as the representative of the State OF Ohio
on the committee on resolutions and when
it was read from the clerk desk it was re-

Clayton of Arkansas sent up resolu-
tion which he desired to have read and re-

referred without reading. 1t related to
the de termination of election contests.
Another resolution from the colored

Oynchburg News)


The News hopes that Mr.. Ellyson will
not make the mistake of declining TO
serve as chairman Of the Democratic
State Committee. There was little dis
position at stanton to displace him for
somebody else on the other side Of the
currency question. On the contrary,
many among the ablest and most influ-
entail Of the free-slver leaders openly in
sisted that Mr. Elyson should remain
at the head Of the party. and It was Sena-
tor DanieIs ayowed purpose TO place his
name before the convention. Unless
there are imperative reasons why he
should decline, Mr.. Ellyson cannot rea-
sonably fail to comply with the senti-
ment of the party in favor of his reten-
ton of the craftsmanship. That sentiment
was prompted by affection for and abso-
Lutte confidence in him as a man and as a
loyal Democrat. Other men quite as
Vlgilant and altogether as astute as Mr..
Ellyson may be found to engineer the
state campaign; hence II Is through no
Keeling OF dependence or desire ito avoid
a dilemma that he is urged to serve the
party in the capacity of chairman IL is
a tribute to his personal worth and faith
In his party integrity that he should thus
be urged to remain where he is: and we
take leave TO say TO him that il he should

INQUIRY FOR DR. CuRRY's BOOK.
An Athens Editor Compliments the
WorIs-Au Important Discovery.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch;
A letter recently received at Richmond
College from one OF the leading journals
OF Athens contains a request for copy
OF Constitutional Government In SPAIN
by Hon. j. l. NJ. Curry. The editor. MT.
Themistocles Aginoras, says he mas seen
a copy OF the book. and now wishes 10
publish a portion OF II I'm his journal.
He adds that the book is OF profound In
terest for the Greeks at this time when
one OF the political parties is attempting
to revise the Constitution. The recent
prominence OF Spain In International
imbroglios has created renewed de-
mand. both at home and abroad. for
Dr. Curry's able and scholarly treatise on
the Spanish Constitution. and 1t now
seems that the sale of this book may
even exceed that OF the popular work on
THE South" 1t is an encouraging sign
OF the times that people are studying the
writings OF such a broad-minded thinker
and statesman.
The same letter states that a telegram
has just been received in Athens from
Delphi, announcing the discovery OF a
statue OF the god Hermes, dating from
the seventh century r. c. The statue is
of bronze, one and three fourths metres
In height, and is superbly handsome. The
god Is clothed. wears beard, and stands
erect upon the car he is driving. Unfor-
tunately the right arm is missing but the
eXcavators were hopeful OF finding 10
within twenty-four hours. The i'm
portance of this discovery may be esti-
mated when it is remembered that the
largest antique statue I'm bronze pre-
viously discovered was less than two
thirds the size of this magnificent figure.
